VEMONT Action Camera, 1080P 12MP Sports Camera Full HD 2.0 Inch Action Cam 30m/98ft Underwater Waterproof Snorkel surf Camera with Wide-Angle Lens and Mounting Accessories Kit

For a $20 camera, this thing really works. I brought it airsofting and while the quality and lighting aren't great, it gets the job done well

Update: I've had this camera as deep as 75' now and no leakage at all in the housing. That said, the video quality is similar to iPhone 3 or iPhone 4. But for $25, it's already paid for itself in capturing memories.My daughter recently completed her scuba certification and so I wanted a cheap underwater camera to document our first official dives. I figured that for $25 this camera was worth a chance. First off, the watertight case is impressive. (Actually, more impressive than the camera!) It took me a bit to figure out how to open the case and there are a few plastic sheet protectors that need to be removed. For the housing lens protector plastic I had to unscrew the decorative black cowling which I thought was odd. Our dives were only to about 20' but there was no leakage at all. (We will be doing deeper dives in a couple weeks and if there are problems I will update this post.) Charging the phone worked fine and the battery lasted for 3 dives without needing to be recharged. The water was murky but the photos were acceptable despite that. One thing I noticed is that with bright sunlight, the image quality improved significantly. The pics I posted are screen caps from the video we shot. The overall video quality reminded me of my old iPhone 3S. It was fairly easy to switch between photo and video mode and turn the camera on/off to conserve battery power. I will say that you need to really firmly depress the shutter button to activate and was the only minor drawback I found. Lastly, to get good pics and video, you need to be conscious of holding the camera steady and pan slowly. I give it 5 stars because for the price it is an excellent value for an entry-level uw camera for kid and family fun.

Seems like a good value for the money considering all you get; but the one I received did not work. Returned it and tried another one. I was able to find a place on my electric bike to mount it. Price wise, this is more than adequate for what I need it for.Aug. 6, 2022- They were on sale, so I bought 3 more. The long story is the scooter people wouldn't ship me just one more, so "naturally" I bought two.. Can't let them sit around w/o cameras on them. Also I bought the extra one because I needed mulligan on one of the mount parts; and since I'm getting like 4 cameras for the price of a higher end one, it's good to have the extra wires & parts around.The sad part of the story is all the strange people who are inconsiderate or just down right crazy behind the wheel. This is an entire topic of its own. I'm a lifelong non cell phone user. Another reason I like these cameras is they don't emit wireless signal at all. I have a meter & I test everything I buy. And in my view it is the cell phones that are contributing massively to the insanity behind the wheel & in other places frankly.I've attached 4 of the neodymium, magnets to the bottom of a mount & covered it with a rubberized tool drawer liner material so the magnets don't scratch the headlight. Plasti dip would also have worked. This last part is the new & improved design of this mod. It now looks factory.I could actually reverse engineer (from the Chinese ) these already very fun bikes into something worth much more with improvements I would make in their original design, if I had the gumption. Mostly it's just materials I would upgrade. Ok, you pulled it out of me, I would make the frame out of aluminum or carbon fiber. The headlight is retro round & non led. That's so cool. I like that. I would leave that as metal. Thank you for reading my idea.

I saw this price, and figured it was worth trying. I was wrong. Even at this price, it's not worth it. The worst part is the video quality. Horrible at best. I thought this camera might be a good secondary camera for stationary filming, and something simple to set up. I knew going in that the video quality would not be as good as my pro video cameras, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. The camera itself has very, very limited settings. There are no settings to control and adjust video. The only choices are for size (720, 1080) and the only other setting is for Hz (50 or 60).I tried fixing the test video I shot, in the studio, using professional editing software and was somewhat successful. That being said, I hate wasting time on fixing bad quality video. Would I recommend this camera... NO I wouldn't even want to give it to someone who was learning how to operate video cameras. I wouldn't even give it to a child for a toy. Nothing will discourage someone from learning faster than giving them a faulty tool to learn with.All in all, you get what you pay for, and even if they were selling this for $5, it would be overpriced.

To the maker of this -The tape under the mounts pealed right off the mounts after i placed it on my bike helmet. The mounts DON'T fit on every helmet due to its size being to big.Make smaller size platform mounts to fit on narrow parts of helmets.QUICK Release Buckle, make a platform just slightly bigger than the width of it so it's not so bulky. It would make it a perfect size to mount on helmets of ALL sizes and makes.THUMB SCREW head for me is to bulky (making it hard to place camera in certain places).THUMB SCREW plastic coating would like it not to be so far down the screw, half the lengthALSO, would like a few extra THUMB SCREWs like this in the pkg.Thank You for reading.MG-
