For its price, probably the best option possible, perfect for active shooting. Yes, the bad sound and the stabilization curve spoil the view a little, but if you take it to shoot a vacation, and not to maintain a quiet blog, for example, then this is 100% your option. I took it in a complete set, and the kit included a lot of holders and everything you need for active shooting, including a waterproof box and a remote control. A very nice function is to connect via Wi-Fi to the phone, to manage…

Pros
  • For its price, it records very high-quality video, there is control via phone via wi-fi
Cons
  • The 140-degree wide-angle camera, in fact, is my own fault, I didn’t attach any importance to this, I had to order a lens, since it changes very easily, but you can forget about protection. Bad voice recording.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

I bought such a miracle of technology almost six months ago. I hook it mainly on a quadcopter. But, sometimes I ride it on the roof of a car, bicycle or motorcycle. The quality of the videos is very good. Photos are also normal. The remote control has been working flawlessly so far. Viewing footage is convenient on a two-inch screen. I do not complain about the visibility of the device. The camera is well assembled. No backlashes or creaks of the case have been noticed by me so far. I sometimes

Pros
  • Dimensions, reliability, video resolution, two-inch screen, widescreen photo option, remote control, auto white balance.
Cons
  • There are no special ones.

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

With its pros. The camera is super for your money, plus all sorts of stray kits for all occasions. There is not enough small tripod, but for 500 you can buy even a very good one. Some cons: The battery is not very large capacity, but you can buy spare ones. Inexpensive.

The camera is "above the roof" for its price, thus the deficiencies are not nearly as problematic as they might otherwise be. Do not worry about this, as shooting more than 25-30 frames for all devices where it is will not significantly decrease the picture quality even in low light (when the lighting is on the border of matrix noise). While shooting photos or videos, it is best to do so from a tripod because, otherwise, there will be a lot of shaking. The camera is capable of shooting in high…

Pros
  • Easy to use and portable camera. Materials of the highest quality, including the packaging itself, which features a hologram and is composed of thick cardboard. In addition to having a reasonably strong matrix, the picture itself is also extremely respectable. Easy-to-use remote control, which also operates and indicates when something is "turned on" and "turned off." If the USB connector is put into a power outlet with an adapter that was purchased separately, it functions normally when connected to the "network" (I tried an adapter from a GoPro).
Cons
  • The fact that there is no stabilization, poor firmware, no PAL support (you have to re-encode), and photographs - interpolation, in addition to the fact that the camera is ineffective as a DVR, are all things that I may or may not have known before making the purchase. researched it in depth on the internet. After conducting my own tests, I came to the following conclusions: 1. Recording at a speed of even sixty frames per second is categorically not possible at this time. The fact that the "maker" makes statements, such as "purchase a nice memory card and happiness will smile at you," is a total and utter fabrication on their part. The camera achieves the promised and declared 60 frames per second by naively duplicating the frames from the previous burst. There is no genuine slow-motion effect, to put it another way. Hence, utilize 30, and you won't have any problems. By the way, you are going to set 60, boost the bitrate needlessly, and overload the processor, all of which will result in a slightly degraded picture quality. Also, the 120 frames per second is a "clever marketing maneuver" on the part of the producer. 2. The WiFi is accessible to anyone and has no password; keep this in mind despite the fact that it functions normally. 3. Although the accessories have external dimensions that are comparable to those of accessories for other cameras (GoPro, SJCam), mixing and matching these gadgets is not recommended because it can cause compatibility issues. in addition to this, it is not simple to insert it or remove it (particularly). although if you put a lot of effort into it, you can. 4. It appears that the shooting angle that was reported to be 170 degrees was also exaggerated a little bit. For the purpose of the test, I constructed a rail (a tripod), on which I mounted two cameras in a parallel orientation, one of which was a second GoPro camera. The latter has a far wider range of application. According to appearances, the actual viewing angle of Eken is somewhere in the vicinity of 145 and 155 degrees. This is a rough estimate based on comparing the frames that were received. 5. Just like with 2K, the 4K resolution is an interpolation from the HD size that is typically used. Making movies is a waste of time. The only thing that will cause it to get warm is recalculating a frame in real time from 1920 by 1080 to a greater size. In addition, the interpolation is flawed since it duplicates pixels that are adjacent to each other, which is the root cause of the comb artifact.

Not exactly the product I wanted, price and quality don't match.

5 out of 10 for the color rendition, which is not very nice at all. The price is 10, but the sound only gets a three out of ten. It's interesting to note that the photo shoots of landscapes with volume transmission turned out so amazingly well, and I have no idea why. There is support for 1080p video, 4K lies, 120 frames per second at a resolution of 1280x720, which looks to be accurate, which is extremely satisfying for such an affordable price. As a true action camera cannot be utilized…

Pros
  • price. The photo has a rather high quality overall. Regarding the cost, it's a fantastic value. This is not intended for pros, but rather novices.
Cons
  • As there is absolutely no stabilization, it is difficult to use this device as an action camera.

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

In general, even despite the shortcomings, I definitely will not call this camera bad. This is definitely a good camera for its price. Camera with the richest equipment and good functionality. I repeat that it makes sense to purchase it as an additional camera to your main one for shooting what the main one can’t handle (roughly speaking, you won’t hang a DSLR on your head or shoot it underwater). If you want to have one universal camera, then look towards much more expensive models that…

Pros
  • 1. Price. The camera is definitely worth the money. Yes, looking ahead, I’ll say that you don’t need to expect anything magical from her either, but for me personally it was a discovery that even such an inexpensive camera can shoot pretty well. 2. Complete set. Yes, she is rich. The camera comes with so many mounts, holders and other bells and whistles that your head is spinning. 3. Workmanship. Taking the camera in hand, there is absolutely no feeling that this is a cheap "ketai". The camera looks very decent, pleasant to the touch, assembled with high quality. The same can be said about all the accessories included in the kit (aquabox, holders, etc.). 4. The presence of a display. Yes, it seems to be not the most important function for an action camera, but still it is much more convenient to shoot with it. 5. Shooting quality. It's good for its price. At least during the day, the picture is bright and saturated even in dynamics. By the way, the resolution of 2.7K (as opposed to 4K) is real in this camera. I specifically compared, shooting the same thing in different formats - 2.7K is the best. True, the video weighs more at times and 30 frames / sec. Therefore, I stopped at 1080p60, and I shoot in it. 6. Ability to use as a webcam. For me, this is a significant advantage. 7. Due to the possibility of cyclic recording, you can use the camera as a DVR. True, if it doesn’t bother you every time before the trip, turn it on and off (she, alas, cannot do this herself.)
Cons
  • 1. Sound. Many wrote that he was quiet, but in reality he is not just quiet, but also just bad. It will not be possible to improve it in any significant way later by software. I say this as a professional sound engineer. I tried, I checked. Therefore, due to this shortcoming, this camera can ONLY be used as an additional one. I will also add that when shooting in an aquabox, the camera generally becomes "dumb". 2. Convenience and speed of work. To start recording, you must first press and hold the power button, wait until the camera boots up and then only turn on the record button. This whole procedure seems to take only a few seconds, but in the process of shooting, even when there is a real action, it is very annoying, especially the need to hold the button down for 2-3 seconds to turn off the camera. 3. No lens cap. It seems to be a trifle, but it causes great inconvenience. You have to carry the camera all the time in the aquabox, every time you get it out of there. If you carry the camera just like that, scratching the protruding lens of the lens will not only be easy, but very easy. However, I heard that you can order an additional cover from another similar camera. 4. Lack of stabilization. I don’t know if I need to write about this, but still, there is no stabilizer in the camera, so trying to get smooth videos with it without shaking and chattering will be very difficult. At least when shooting handheld without additional devices such as steadicam for sure. On the other hand, if such a camera also had stabilization, all other manufacturers of action cameras would simply go bankrupt.

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

For the price, this is a great device. Recommend. Don't forget the 120 degree fisheye. Pros below: Good shooting at night on a lighted highway. The koplet comes with a waterproof case. ^ In the case it does not freeze outside at minus 20 Shooting at 1080/30 holds a charge of about 1.5 hours. Has some cons At minus 20, the display starts to float a little (it returns to normal in heat) In 1080/60 mode, the battery lasts 20 minutes. If the reboot did not see my 64 gigabyte card. I had to turn it…

Leaving for vacation in Egypt, we wanted to capture everything we saw there in order to show it to friends and acquaintances. To do this, we purchased an EKEN H9R camcorder and were not mistaken. Very easy to manage, even from a smartphone using WIFI. Not big, fits easily in the hand. Accidentally the camera fell into the water, but did not deteriorate, it still works. Shooting excellent quality, without interference and deformation. Recommend!

Pros
  • waterproof, with remote control, display 320x240 pixels, viewing angle - 170 degrees, small, convenient.
Cons
  • The package does not include a memory card.

A normal product, but they wanted more for the money.

If you buy in China, then the purchase is still justified. I plan to use it for underwater photography. If anything, it will not be a pity that it will drown / get wet. For 5krub I would never buy this camera. Has some pros Cheap if ordered directly from China (price from 2 thousand) Rich equipment, including a box for underwater shooting. The Chinese can add batteries and other accessories to the order for an extra charge, which is convenient. Remote control included (and works). The Android…

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

Never buy batteries as an optional accessory. One battery works in standby mode for about 30 minutes, in recording mode - 5-7 minutes (respectively, do not buy a charger). It is better to buy a PowerBank and an aquabox with a connector and a charging cord.

The product is average, Im not sure its worth the money.

For its price, the camera is "above the roof", so the shortcomings are not very significant. By the way, shooting more than 25-30 frames for all devices where it is, significantly degrades the picture quality in low light (when the lighting is on the verge of matrix noise), so don't worry about this. It is preferable to shoot from a tripod, otherwise there will be a lot of shaking. The camera shoots excellent HD 30 frames per second. Everything else is the usual Chinese marketing juggling. It…

Pros
  • Simple, handy camera. High-quality materials, even the packaging is "rich" - made of solid cardboard, with a hologram. A fairly good matrix, respectively, the picture is also very decent. Convenient remote control, works and signals that "turned on" and "turned off". It works normally from the "network" if the USB connector is plugged into a power outlet through a third-party adapter (I tried an adapter from a GoPro).
Cons
  • The fact that there is no stabilization, bad firmware, no PAL support (you have to re-encode) and photos - interpolation, as well as the fact that the camera is unsuccessful as a DVR, I already knew before buying, maybe. studied it on the internet. Having tested personally, I found the following: 1. Categorically there is no recording at a speed of even 60 frames per second. And the fact that the "manufacturer" claims, like - buy a good memory card and happiness will smile at you - is a complete lie. The camera stupidly duplicates the previous frames and thus gains the promised and declared 60 FPS. There is no real slow-motion effect, respectively. So use 30 and everything will be OK. By the way, you will set 60, increase the bitrate in vain and overload the processor, which will make the picture a little worse. By the way, 120 FPS is also a "cunning marketing move by the manufacturer. 2. WiFi - open, no password, keep this in mind, although it works fine. 3. Although externally the accessories have similar dimensions with accessories from other cameras (GoPro, SJCam), mixing these gadgets is problematic . and it’s not easy to put it in and pull it out (especially) . although if you push it hard, you can . 4. It looks like the declared shooting angle of 170 degrees was also a little lied to. For the test, I made a rail (tripod), where I installed two cameras side by side (equally directed), the second GoPro camera. The latter has a much broader scope. It looks like the real viewing angle of Eken is somewhere in the range of 145 - 155 degrees. This is a rough estimate by comparing received frames. 5. 4K, like 2K in both cases, there is interpolation from the usual HD size. Filming is pointless. It will only get warm from recalculating a frame from 1920x1080 to a larger size in real time. Moreover, the interpolation is stupid, by duplicating neighboring pixels, which is why the comb comes out.

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Our family is a fan of outdoor activities, in particular river rafting. Carrying around with a regular camera is hard and inconvenient, it takes up a lot of space. This camera has been our lifesaver. First, it's cheap. This is one of its main advantages. Secondly, it is possible to pick up a bunch of accessories, mounts for every taste and color for this camera. Thirdly, there is wi-fi, which simply cannot but rejoice. Fourthly, the shooting quality is really very clear, there is an underwater…
