A great deal for the money. I found several instructional YouTube videos for it online. Requires a separate cable for programming of the channels via an external computer. Also requires a "Technician" class license to legally transmit on in the United States.

For $70 Exceeded my expectations
I used the cam mounted on my snowmobile helmet and used it in -10 celcius conditions. I was able to fill a 32 gb card and still have one bar left on the first battery. Video quality was good. It was snowing at times so obviously those videos were unable to been seen (perhaps a little windshield wiper on the lens lol). For the money it doesn't have the same tactile feel of a go pro but performed to my satisfaction.

I love these ! Totally recommend !
I absolutely love these shades !!! They fit great without feeling snug around my face and leaving a mark. Totally kept the wind out my eyes. They even kept the sweat from my forehead from draining into my eyes . I absolutely love them . And they come with several pair of lens. From black, clear, and blue blockers . Also in a cute little case . I am very happy with my purchase .

Best Action Camera for any reason!! Leaving our le
I am still in shock how good this camera works. I have been a pro photographer for over 40 years and have been with the mistaken idea that size matters. Well I can say that when it comes to cameras this is not true. I ordered the Akaso Cameras to record biking, hiking, working, and did not want to spend a small fortune on a camera that I strapped to my Bicycling helmet understanding that it may come off and be broken this first few times I went out for lengthy rides. I was absolutely wrong. I was so wrong that I had to write this review to tell the world just how good and easy this camera is to use and view. First the camera comse with a comprehensive kit that will cover anything you may want to mount the camera on. From the Bike to the Helmet to the dog, and well anything. Extra mounting hardware makes this doable for multiple helmets and gear. When I opened that package I could not focus on all of the hardware at one time. It was overwhelming. But easy to figure out. Extra straps, extra mounting screws, and even a mount that allows you to place the camera 90 degrees across the handle bars. It is amazing how much thought went into the design of the hardware and the amount of hardware you get. You need nothing else, literally, after the purchase of the unit. I bought 3 thinking I would have to mix and match to get all the mounting I needed. Of course I was wrong, and wound up giving one to the wife and daughter.Picture quality and the available settings are really a sight to behold. Lot of variance for different conditions, super wide-angle lens, waterproof case with an extra back, and several different selections for shooting movies, stills, burst stills, and time lapse. I have not used the time lapse yet but I have several ideas that I will try soon. Overall, I am very happy to have made this choice, I have a lot to do to experiment with the different settings and types of shooting methods. As of this writing I have mounted to camera to the top of my Bike Helmet and will be using it on several different bicycling locations and will be posting the videos on my sites. I have every bit of confidence that this will be a life altering experience for me and at my age I feel very fortunate to have been able to experience this amazing technology. I was very excited to have been able to make use of the digital Photography in my Business, which made photography an even more interesting medium to create and experiment.This will make it that much more interesting and with the quality of the equipment I will be able document and save memories for my grand kids and hopefully they will enjoy the videos as much as I have enjoyed making them. I cannot say enough about this camera and the accessories, and the creative carte blanche that has been ballooned with the variety of settings offered in the software.Give this one a try before all others.

Good for the price. 1080P is subpar.
Overall this seems to be a good product. The one I received had a small speck under the screen like a bubble under a screen protector. And yes I removed the factory film. I emailed Akaso and they were responsive and wanted to correct the problem. I am currently awaiting a replacement camera.As far as performance goes, it is decent. Good for the price. I am however disappointed in the quality of how it films in 1080P 60 fps. It was much too grainy and not clear. 4k 30fps did quite well for something in this price range. I actually just took a video in 4k and used a computer program to code it down to 1080P to save disk space and it looked great. Much, much better than filming in 1080P. I'm not sure why a camera that can film well in 4k would be so so much worse in 1080P. All 1080P videos at only 30fps from my iPhone look 100 times better than this camera at the same resolution and 60fps. In fact a 720p video taken on my iPhone is guaranteed to look better than this camera. This is my biggest complaint because I wanted to be able to save some space on the card for videos that don't need to be in 4k. I got this camera over the cheaper ones that are only 1080P because a couple that I tried were just as bad as this one in 1080P and I was expecting this one to be much better. 1080P has been out long enough to be able to get a fantastic picture out of even a cheap camera but that is just my opinion.My other complaint is the H.265 codec doesn't seem to work very well. It does process the video in HEVC but I kept having issues with it wanting to play back on certain computers that are definitely HEVC compatible. And the compression isn't nearly as efficient as my iPhone for example. I have just gone back to H.264 because I don't find the hassle worth it. H.264 works as it should.The pictures it takes are pretty good. I have it set to 20MP and I can't really complain about the picture quality out of this small lens.The touch screen works well and is intuitive. The app worked decent too with only a few bugs. Image stabilization works pretty good, although I wish I could turn on distortion reduction and image stabilization at the same time but you cannot. And you cannot turn on auto low light in 4k mode which was a bummer. I was also surprised by the sound quality with the case off too. It sounded great for what this is. Lastly, it does seem to be built well. I can't complain at all with the construction of the camera. It feels great in my hands. Overall for $110 it seems to be a decent deal but could be better. I would forgo most accessories for the camera to perform better for the same price.

Revision of review: service is getting much impro
Revision: customer service is replacing the waterproof case at no additional charge. Provided it is satisfactory, my review will indicate a 5-star award.Very first impression upon unboxing is that the waterproof case lens is scratched pretty badly. It has the protective coating on it but when I removed the film, it was scratched. It looks as if it was used. Let’s see who cares and answered my review to see if it gets more stars. I will update after this weekend.

Best investment ever!
The media could not be loaded.
I was so surprised by the lens I purchased for my iPhone. Not only was it a two-in-one system, but it was made of glass! For the price, I thought it would be plastic. It comes with a semi-hard case and a clip-on led light with three different levels of brightness. Sooooo awesome! This may not mean a lot to anyone else, but the package design was also quite nice. Kudos to the makers of this product, they really did go all out.

Celestron Travelscope 70
Amazon did a perfect job in delivering the product on schedule and well-packed .I got delivery of the product on 17/11/2014 , hence its been only about 8 days since I am using the Telescope .I purchased this telescope for my daughter as her birthday gift & she was very excited to receieve it . It's a good telescope for a beginner ,good value for its price .As we live in the city not much of star gazing is possible due to the light reflection but friends , its great to watch the moon with the 10mm lens provided .Still could not explore full moon although waiting for it impatiently .The scope can be used for terrestrial purpose also and found it pretty good with clear upright view .If anybody looking to begin with this hobby , I think this would be a good buy without burning a big hole in your pocket .I will buy Barlow 3x lens from Celestron to further increase the magnification of the scope .Go for it friends .... A good product at a better price .

Solid Product and Quality Image
Quality imaging with 50hz refresh rate. Good for spotting AC leaks or nature watching. Image is more clear in-scope than the attached photos. Huge storage capacity and very long battery life. Many different settings including white-hot, black-hot, violet, sepia, rainbow, etc.I wish the plastic around the main lens was rubber coated like the eye piece but quality is solid and well built.
