Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

I bought the device, mostly for video (additional angles during the filming of the video). The HD quality is quite satisfactory. The characteristics indicate the ability to write both 25 and 30 frames per second, however, the Chinese have not bothered with these subtleties for a long time and leave only one NTSC 29.97 frame / sec mode. Checked on a dozen models. Everywhere is the same. Two systems are declared, but in real life there is only one (in all ! soap dishes of this class). Both NTSC and PAL are specified in the settings, and recording is only in NTSC. Now, during the video editing of films, you have to do additional (taking up additional time resources) conversions into digestible formats. I will be if someone gives links where and how you can reflash the percent (preferably with detailed instructions and comments) in order to be able to shoot video in the standard 25 frames per second.

Pros
  • The quality of photos for this price category is quite satisfactory. Using AA elements. Batteries 2300 ma / h are enough for an hour and a half of video recording. Also a big plus is the increased weight for this class of soap dishes. Much more comfortable to hold, less shaking in the hands due to inertia.
Cons
  • The inability to write video in the PAL system. (writes only in NTSC)
