Review on 📸 AIDA HD-100A Compact Full HD HDMI POV Camera featuring TRS Stereo Audio Input and Support for Multiple HD Formats by Matthew Hoang

The designers of this camera chose to include a cumbersome octopus-shaped cable that plugs into the back of the camera and contains an integrated on-screen controller (OSD) with a mini joystick that then branches out to a 3.5mm audio jack, an RS-485 port jack and a full-size 12V power jack. The argument for such a cable is that the camera is physically too small to accommodate each of these connectors; makes sense right? In practice, however, the cable is bulky and has this FATAL flaw: you IMMEDIATELY DESTROY the camera (as I did) by touching the 12V power line with the audio jack. Both the power jack and the audio jack are about the same. Size and fall side by side in a messy octopus cord. If you install this in a small, hard-to-reach spot (that's probably why you bought it in the first place), you'll have to actively ensure that this very likely accident never happens, or you might be watching your $300 sprout caricature. . Wings and fly out the window - and you won't be able to write it down.
