Thus I will refrain from giving details about Best Buy only products which are in general made to good quality standards. My closing comments on my first review is more than likely the reason it was not posted after being approved. I should have trusted the reviews about the battery and I should have given more consideration to the knowledgeable Best Buy representative who stated he didn't know anything about the camera as they were just received shortly before Christmas and the store didn't have them on display. So what is the problem Camera or software? My thought is the camera as the first videos downloaded/transferred smoothly and efficiently.

The software is very basic and was unable to transfer files after the camera froze 3 times. I couldn't determine what the issue was as mentioned above the camera froze again.Īpps and software- The camera didn't work long enough to determine the apps capability. Wifi - Wifi connected easily and quickly however when my app froze and lost the wifi connection after getting a dead battery notification on the phone app although the camera's LCD remained on and the battery indicator showed half battery life remaining. I recorded similar video with my Samsung Note 4 in HD and if was far superior to the camera's 4k video.
VIVITAR ACTION CAMERA 4K REVIEW 1080P
1080P is subpar even compared to cable tv's 1080i playing on my Samsung KS8000 4K TV. Video quality - 4K is horrible but then it's not really 4K it's upscaled to 4K. I could not determine which component was the problem or are they both defective. I removed and replaced the battery again and was able to record approximately 15 minutes of 4k video using the app to control the camera settings. I used the wristband remote until the camera or the remote experienced problems. Upon powering on the LCD welcome screen letters were not complete. The camera was very hot to touch.Īt this point, I had written my first review and continued with attempts to get the best out of the camera and recharged the battery again. The battery indicator reflected half battery life remaining thus I left the camera in the frozen state with LCD on and it remained on for another 35 -45 minutes or so.
VIVITAR ACTION CAMERA 4K REVIEW ANDROID
Recharged the battery and set it to record in 4k and after several minutes of recording using the android app the app stopped working after getting a dead battery notification in the app and the connection was lost.
I removed the battery and started recording using the wireless control and recorded approximately 5 minutes of 1080P video as the battery discharged quickly. Second use, after recharging again after only 3 minutes recorded in auto mode, the camera froze. The camera only recorded one loop in the auto mode. This is my second review as my first review that was approved wasn't posted.įollowed instructions to the T. Last thing it doesn't say anywhere on the outside packaging, but this camera only supports up to a 32gb micro sd card. Overall this is a good little action camera that you wont break the bank on. Only reason it got 4 stars is that it does seem a little cheaply made, so not sure it would handle being dropped from any height, but once again for the price expectations need to be tempered. FYI recording at 1080 with wifi off got over 2hrs of recording in, and still had battery to spare. I honestly don't use the 4k on this as it eats up too much memory, but the 1080 is just fine and is quite nice for the price I paid($40). Also it has wifi(which will drain your battery FAST if you have it on in BFE) which is nice to use at home if need be. It has a few different modes including dash cam mode which may just push me to buy another one of these. Having said that this is still a great camera for someone like me just getting into using action cameras.
For the $40 I paid for this I did not expect $500 GoPro quality and neither should you. Don't buy into the people saying the battery doesn't last on this thing, or the picture quality is horrible, or its hard to use.
