Exceptional for the price!
After using this camera on multiple mountain bike rides, I believe this is the best action camera for the money.

Love this little camera!
Love this camera! I actually had a GoPro hero 4 solver edition. After purchasing this, I stopped using the GoPro. This is small enough to fit in my purse, or pocket. Easy to use. I actually ended up selling my GoPro because I was no longer using it. I use this all of the time! I found it at a local pawn shop for $20 and just love it! I would love to get the GoPro session some day. But for now, this suites my needs! The battery lasts well! I have no issues with the microphone like some reviews are saying. I have not experienced that. I've been able to use this in places that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to, like being able to capture my sons first roller coaster ride during s recent trip to legoland. Great little camera! I only wish the little blink lights were more visible while in sunlight.

Does a good job in a noisy city
For a long time, my husband wanted to get a white noise machine to help block out the street noise from our busy city block as well as mask my, um, penchant for loud snoring (he doesn't hear his own; what can I say?). He finally got around to researching machines and settled on this one, even though it was substantially more expensive than its competition here on Amazon. Well, it works, and it works well, for its intended purpose. We tried the various sounds (rainfall; nature; etc.) but found that the actual "white noise" setting works best. We like the fact that you can set the volume control and the pitch to achieve a soothing sound. The response feature -- where a microphone picks up ambient sounds like coughing and snoring and adjusts the volume accordingly -- actually works nicely. Good product that has contributed to better sleeping conditions for both of us.

Sturdy and Dependable!
I’ve had my Dragon Touch 4k camera for a few months now, and I have to say – it’s pretty excellent! I got it originally to attach to my motorcycle helmet, and to my skateboard for action shots, but with all of the attachments included I was also able to find so many more applications – I’m currently using it as a B-roll for my Vlogging, and I really like how clear it records. I only wish it had the capability to use an external microphone, because in breezier situations voices do not come out clear at all.The design is aesthetically pleasing – the camera itself even has a little grip on it for out-of-the-case use. It is lightweight but sturdy – I’ve dropped it once or twice and have had no damage – the controls are easy to use, and its touch screen – making life easier altogether not having to deal with hardware buttons. I really like this product and would definitely suggest purchasing!

Great for recording bike rides
I got the GoPro HERO8 Black for recording bike rides. I don't need 5k for that (HERO9 and 10). This camera just fits the bill. I mounted it on the handlebar stem using a Forevercam handlebar mount. I chose 1080p/30fps to maximize battery life and it lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes. Pretty good for such a small battery. Of course you can swap the battery to keep recording. In 70 degree weather I had no issues with overheating, even though I used the protective case. Stabilization is very good and smoothes out the bumps well.Unfortunately the microphone picked up all the vibration and road noise instead of my voice. But that is a problem with the rigid mount. Using the camera handheld or mounted on the helmet isolates the noise. I got a Media Mod and that should work even better for sound recording.I also tried out 2.7k and 4k modes and the video quality is excellent, of course resulting in larger file sizes.Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Just what I needed
I am just starting out with my videos so I didn’t want to spend $500 + on a camera to begin.This is better than the videos i record with my phone. The little problem is that is a bit choppy when i zoom in and out, but otherwise this is a super good camera. I love that it came with a microphone which picks up sound wonderfully. It comes with a high capacity battery, sd card and every thing that was advertised;remote, USB charger, HD cable, led light and hood.. You donot have to purchase an SD card separately.The camcorder has a touch screen so it is easy to navigate.I took it on vacation and it takes up a small amount of space when packing. It has a variety of functions that are useful. This camcorder has built-in WiFi. This camcorder is packed with features.I haven't used all the features yet but my family and I are having so much fun with this. I enjoy using it frequently! Considering its quality and performance I recommend it.

This camera is very nice. Set up to WiFi was a breeze. After connecting, set up was not so easy. I called Amcrest customer support and Luke was able to configure the camera for me the way I wanted it.I primarily use it on the mobile app to check on my dog while I’m at work. Checking in on the kids is nice too. You can activate the two-way speaker and microphone to speak through the camera or just listen in while viewing remotely.The best feature for me is the motion detection. It will sense motion in front of the camera and instantly begin recording the event. Simultaneously the camera will send you a push notification of “motion detection” and can email you still photos of the event, all in an instant.Very satisfied with the quality and functions even after a challenging set-up.Was very fun to watch my son blame the dog when I made farting noises through the speaker while viewing remotely.

Exceptional budget mic
Pros:-build quality, full metal construction, feels extremely well-built-sound quality, sounds exceptional for a budget podcast microphone or voiceover mic. Specifically on rich voices and nasaly voices-price:performance ratio, got this mic for $22 and was blown away by the amount of bang for my buck. Recently upgraded to an MXL-BCD1 in my home studio/stream setup, but still use this mic whenever I have guests on my podcast or when I'm travelling. Sounds great.-comes with a hard plastic carrying case and a stand adapter.Cons:-struggles with plosives a bit, but that can be solved with a windscreen/pop filter, or by simply speaking across the grill instead of directly into it.-windscreen/pop filter not included. A bit on a nitpick, but it would be nice to have one included.Final thoughts:The best of the best when it comes to value for your money in a budget mic. I would 100% recommend this to anyone on a budget starting out in podcasting, voiceover, vocals, live streaming, or spoken word.

excellent movies I find 2
After much thought I bought the GoPro 5 Hero Black. I will only use this camera for movies not pictures. I am a believer that a camera and cam corder should be separate, I also own a Nikon D7200. Now on the subject of Go Pro Pros 1. excellent movies I find 2.2K 30fps and linear the best. 2. Ease of set up. 3. Capture through cell phone. 4. iso option. 5. steady shot at 2.2k or lower. 6. Ease of running go pro to hi def TV 8. after use software. Cons 1. Cage hampers the sound quality. 2. Hard to use the swipe if your hands are cold or wet. 3.All the Latches are flimsy. 4. Has a Microphone adapter with is very expensive. It really seems odd that the engineering team that designed this fine product have really stupid flaws. I hope in the future that gopro improves the case to not let the microphones be hidden, and a screen more sensitive to cold or wet hands. I give this product for excellent performance and movie quality.
