DO NOT BUY IT on camcorders

The sound around is garbage! Doesn't last 60 days!

DO NOT BUY! Didn't last 2 months. Only used twice. Won't turn on after charging! Return not possible after 30 days. Any production that only gives a 30 day guarantee on their product knows they are selling rubbish!

This is a huge piece of shit! Unfortunately, we thought it really sucked.

That's a huge crap! Unfortunately, as others have said in reviews after the return date, we really thought it sucked. Even when fully charged, it stays on for about 5 seconds when you turn it on, and then turns off. I will definitely have my doubts about buying electronics from Revain again with such a short return window. And now that I think about it, I also bought an anti-spill/drop policy with it. After shopping with Revain for so long this is the first time I have been so disappointed in a

Cons
  • sad packaging

Poor software, firmware, manual, Wi-Fi and website support

You need a magnifying glass to read the instructions, Full battery shows 25%, Wi-Fi connection drops after 10-15 minutes of recording (apparently due to low battery, such as full battery indicates 25%). The camera keeps recording after turning off Wi-Fi. There is simply no way to see what is being recorded as there is no screen. The video is recorded and played back upside down. Video broken down into smaller files (requires editing to create one video from all files. Wi-Fi continues) crashes…

Pros
  • Image capture resolution: Choose 8 or 5 megapixels - 8 megapixels (HI) Image resolution: 3264 x 2448 - 5 megapixels (LO) Image resolution: 2592 x 1944 / Video capture : resolutions : Choose 1080p or 720p - 1080p (HI): 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps - 720p (LO): 1280 x 720 at 60 fps.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Don't repeat my mistake!

This is a terrible device. Bought to test it for several possible uses and it doesn't work for everything I was hoping for. At first I was hoping I could set it up as a 'live' camera to deliver a video signal to a TV. However, the camera cannot output live video via HDMI, it can only play back the previously recorded video. Second, I was hoping to use it as a low-cost DVR, a feature it claims to support. The battery lasted for several rides around town (about 45 minutes), although I turned it…

Pros
  • Included accessories: waterproof case, suction cup, steering wheel, helmet mounts and USB charging/connection cable - Wide-angle lens: f3.1 f=9.3 mm - Image sensor: Sunplus SPCA6330A - Dimensions (L x W x H): 2.35 x 1.15 x 1.45 inch
Cons
  • Long wait
