I bought this camera as a friend has one exactly like it. I have recently taken up go karting and wanted to take some footage of my drives with my 10 year old son who is also driving using the helmet camera mount. The compact design and clear HD video is the selling point. I have used it a few times now and although I had no trouble with the camera or operation on the day of videoing it has done some strange things recently. The first camera I bought was not vibrating as it should to indicate you have turned it on and off, this was a fault with the camera and it was replaced immediately without any fuss. The second camera worked but I could not do the firmware update on it although I carried out the process to the letter.I have left it with the old firmware.. It still works. It also has needed a hard reset as it would not turn on one day even though the battery was fully charged. I have read some reviews and the support forums on the ReplayXD website and I am not the only one with issues. In general I like the camera, when it is working it works really well, but it has a few small issues that might be a firmware problem. The low light video is not the best, but daytime sunny video is great. You can modify the advanced video settings by trial and error but only if you can review the video on a laptop or display to check the settings. This is not easy and can be time consuming. The attaching pads and mounts are solid and will take some punishment. I can not compare this product to other similar video cameras as I have not used any others, but this one does take nice footage.In 720HD @ 60fps it is smooth and easy to edit in my video studio software. Love the ability to slow mo the footage and still get sharp images. The time lapse camera images are good, not great and I had some lense ghosting by the light hitting the clear protection lense and leaving a ghost on the images. I like the solid feel to the whole unit and the quality of the case, mounts and accessories is worth the asking price. The only reason I would not give this 5 stars is due to the turning on issue and the firmware update problem.Read full review
i have and use GO-Pro but i wanted something more versatile regards the mounting and discretion of the camera. How good are these babies... great/perfect, light weight and compact, the footage is great... possibly Batt life may be an issue for longer filming in high rez, but ive only started using it so that may improve with a few cycles. powerful unit in a neat package. I can recommend it... i loved it so much i just bought a second unit. Not as wide an angle as the go-pro, but its serving the purpose better for other reasons. Cant really fault it. and i believe they do have an external battery option, not ideal but at least it is an option if required. good product.
Fantastic Camera great quality Video and microphone works well, I've used it on my head camera playing paintball and used it on an RC Plane in flight no problems couldn't fix easily.
