SJCAM SJ10X Gyro Remote Action Camera Supersmooth Novatek 96683 Chipset + 4K / 24FPS WiFi DV Sports Camera
SKU: GW41.0009
I bought this camera to record my commutes and bike rides. I have a Yi Lite that was going to become my rear camera and this would be the front so I needed good stabilization and clear video to catch license plate numbers in the event of an incident.The video quality is decent (in good lighting) and the stabilization is actually pretty great. Where this camera falls apart is the accessories, low light, battery life, and especially the UI/app.The touch screen is not very responsive, honestly my Yi Lite has a better touch screen. When playing back footage you can't scrub through. If something happened at minute 7, you're stuck watching the first 7 minutes of video. If you miss something, you get to start the video over.The app is garbage. Hot garbage. It has something like a 1.5 rating on the play store and that is generous. Upon connecting to the camera in the app it crashes. There is no fix other than using an app for a trail cam. Nope.Low light performance is non existent. You can barely use this camera indoors. Even in low light mode.I initially thought it was generous that they include two batteries with the camera. After using the camera I can see why they were inclined to do so. The battery life is abysmal. You're lucky to get an hour of use per battery.The final nail in the coffin for me was the accessories. The case the camera comes in has the standard GoPro style mount. When I put the camera in the mount I've been using for the past few years it just dangles loosely. I'm not going to buy new accessories hoping to find something to fit this case.I'll be returning this camera asap. Looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy a GoPro or DJI.

The remote, when it works, only works within a couple of feet of the camera. The range is advertised as 33 feet, but I can not get it to work even 5 feet away. I have missed out on things I wanted to video due to being more then a couple of feet away, but much less then 33 feet. Very disappointed as I got this camera for the remote and wifi. I can not get my android phone to stay connected more then a few seconds with this camera. Is it my phone or the camera? Either way, I can not use either the remote or the wifi, which is the principle reason I bought this model.I do love the 170 degree angle lens. The videos are very clear. I have had the camera on a stable surface so I can not comment on the Image stabilization feature.

After much research I purchased the CAMPark v40 to mount on my motorcycle and take some road trip videos. The camera is small and feature rich and fits most GoPro accessories so it was a no brainer...especially since the price was right and is equivalent to the more expensive GoPro. So far I am pretty happy with the V40.

For the money and this is one of the best action cameras you can get. I do like the front facing LCD screen, and all the accessories it comes with. I got a new GoPro a few months ago and it doesn’t come with hardly anything. In most circumstances, for normal users, the image quality on this things going to be just fine as compared to the GoPro. For the money it’s an amazing deal.
