Video quality is not bad once you change settings. Biggest issue I’m having is that it does not record continuously. Will record for 18 minutes and then a new recording starts on its own. I did get a free replacement quickly from the seller when I let them know about the recording issue but the replacement camera does the same thing. For instance if your recording a game that’s longer than 20 minutes you have two recording of the game instead of just one.Also battery life is 45 minutes per battery not the 90 minutes that is advertised.

I like that the camera is small and lightweight. The image is very good quality, also. I bought this for my husband to use on his travels and so far it has worked quite well for him.

Very good camera for the money..at 1080p

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024

Size: M80 AIRVerified Purchase

I bought this as an extra camera for filming. At the price it seemed pretty good. That was before I saw how much stuff is included! It is quite the bargain. As many people have said, the 4k recording is not the best. But to get any kind of 4k at this price is amazing. The 1080p works quite well and that is what I keep it on. 4k is nice for a few things, but takes up too much space to use when not needed. This is not comparable to a $300 GoPro, so don't expect that. But it is the second cheap action camera I have purchased and this one I am keeping (sent the other back). I am very pleased with the purchase.

Everything that you need to start: 4K Cam, batteries, dual-cell battery charger with USB cable, water-proof housing to 130+ feet depth, 170 degree wide angle lens, remote control, several versatile mounting brackets, sturdy padded case, well written owner's manual. This camera is easy to use, has very intuitive menu screens, many exposure options to fulfill your creative wishes. This is a tremendous value for $50.00. It is not a Go Pro but, neither is the price. Use it on your bicycle, your car, your snowboard helmet, your free diving or scuba diving adventure - pretty versatile, considering the cost. Some of my videos were not as smooth as I would like and showed some distortion but, I have been playing them back through my computer monitor and it could be the computer's fault or the SD card's. TIme will tell. I am anxious to take it diving and see how it works. The water-proof enclosure's buttons may prove to be inoperable while wearing 5mm neoprene gloves. So far, I am very pleased with the features of this camera for the price!

Consider for low resolution (1080/60) with limited applications. Hard Pass for 4k.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020

Size: M80 AIRVerified Purchase

Summary: Very inexpensive camera that might meet some needs at lower resolutions (1080/60). However, does not come close to the specifications stated (your results may vary) and hard pass for 4k video.

Detailed Experience:
When I found this camera, I really wanted the performance stated to be true-- would meet nearly everything I wanted for a 10th of the big name cameras’ price. I intended to video hockey games with the camera affixed to the glass so didn’t need the optical image stabilization and with ample lighting the sensor could be less sensitive. With the stated 170 degree field of view (FOV), only needed 2 cameras to cover the sheet of ice, so I bought 2.

Initial impressions: Camera build seems fine relative to the price. Slightly smaller than my GoPro, lighter weight, mostly plastic build, pointed corners vs round of GoPro, similar size screen (not touch), and immediate access to connectors. Comes with 2 batteries, a nice clear underwater protective case, and a plethora of mounting options (albeit a couple I would claim are not very sturdy for action recordings), a remote recording toggle and a soft sided carrying case.

Battery:
One battery was in the camera, one external. However, to remove the battery from the camera requires a common screwdriver, e.g. really don’t find this as an acceptable solution. I tried my fingernail (not sturdy enough) and coins (too thick) without success. Kinda goes against the grain of on-the-go, action camera especially in light of the observed limited battery life. Using the 2 cameras across 6 games, I averaged 64min at 1080/60; 55min at 2.7k/30 and 40min at 4k/30 from a fully charged to completely depleted battery (camera shutdown) with the only actions performed setting the video resolution and recording. This is vastly different than the stated Apexcam response of “support 190 minutes working even on 4k video mode”, i.e. even if they were stating duration across 2 batteries, my results were less than 50%! FYI, WIFI and remote control were turned off with screen saver on 1min.
An annoyance (not a deal breaker for me), was that the date/time had to be reset each instance of a battery change.

Video:
4k/30: First thing noted is that even though it was stated to be 30Hz video capture, camera appears to use a double frame, e.g. 1 sample for 2 frames, so effectively the video is at 15Hz. I verified by clicking frame by frame in VLC media player. Very disappointing and quite frankly it nearly triggers nausea (feels more like a strobing effect). In a very well lit rink, the fast images appears blurred/streaking (players crossing in the video let alone the puck movement). Thinking that this must be a firmware issue, I tried researching. My camera was Model: M80 Air Firmware: JL15IP79RGM_1.5 updated 20201001. While I could not find any updates (in fact I couldn’t find any), I did see similar complaints of duplicating frames with other OEMs with amazingly comparable cameras.
Likewise, there was a glare about the lights. In the first game I used the included clear case (it seems very ruggid and protects the camera). Thinking that this could have been the culprit for the glare, second and later games I used a different mount. While the glare was slightly less, it was present across all video settings on auto (white balance, ISO). While I could have tried alternate contrast and ISO settings, I found the camera unacceptable for my use, and not worth the effort to further refine.
While the FOV was stated to be 170 deg, my measurements were dramatically reduced at 80 degs.

2.7k/30: While the video frame rate was MUCH better than the 4k, the blurring of faster moving play persisted and the glare against the lights was present (now without the clear case). Unfortunately, the measured FOV was even worse at less than 55 deg.

1080/60: There still was some blurring of faster moving play, but this was this best mode in my opinion. There was less clarity of the players (lower resolution), but could see the action better and the FOV was measured at 80 deg. Instead of mounting at the blue lines, I placed behind the goalies to see their point of view.

Picture Quality: Didn’t meet my expectations at any resolution and was far from the stated spec.
Easy to Use: In general, the GUI was fine, but the battery case was very annoying. Some of the mounts didn’t really lock in place, e.g. would be a problem for a camera in motion.
Value for Money: This was the least expensive camera, so went in with low expectations. Even with that consideration, there was only one video mode (1080/60) that was close to acceptable.

If you are looking for an inexpensive 1080/60 camera, then may consider this one (although the battery cover would still annoy me). Otherwise, hard pass. PS. I intend to return these since they weren’t even close to meeting the specs.

For the cost, this is one of my favorite purchases on Amazon. Not the quality you get like a go pro but it does the job! I was surprised on how many accessories come with it, plus a good travel case. I bought this because I’m going to Vegas and bringing this and water a quality camera!

He utilizado la cámara un par de veces y me ha parecido que tiene buena calidad de video, además que es muy práctica por su tamaño y los accesorios que incluye. Me parece que la duración de las baterías es algo corta y se descargan a si no estén en uso.

Great customer service

Our 10yr old received this camera for Christmas, and after no real extreme use, the screen suddenly became grainy and pixelated. Emailed the seller, and they sent a full replacement within a week, no questions asked.
Despite the hiccup, the video quality and all the accessories are great for the price, and our son has a blast with it. Hope this new one holds up.
