This is an absolutely fantastic camera which is so much fun to use!!. I bought this early last year for an adventure of a lifetime to Bolivia and Peru, where my now husband proposed to me. That was the good news. The bad news is 5 days into the trip it was unfortunately stolen from me by a group of professional thieves on a coach while we were travelling. 100% devastating, especially because I only got to record 2 videos!! Nevertheless, it's a great bit of kit and I would highly recommend. I even bought one for my sister.

Cuts down on my editing time and captures everything around me.

Even though I knew the Camera needs a phone app to activate it, I didn't know I needed a far more advanced phone for the app to work fully.I had no problem downloading the app to my 2020 Samsung Galaxy Edge & even activating the camera but I soon realised I had limited use of the app.So, I cant frame any footage or do much editing on my Samsung Galaxy Edge.I have however discovered a hidden feature within the app which people who have reviewed the camera, never talk about.Its a feature called "Direction" & when you enable it, the footage you export to your phone will only show where the front lens was pointing during filming.If you dont enable it, the Auto editing will point in random directions & despite what some people say about how great Auto editing is, I found it really frustrating as it sometimes locked on irrelevant objects & stayed there till the end or it will focus on your face throughout the entire clip.Of all the several different types of footage I allowed Auto Editing to export, not even one was good.So with limited app use, the "Direction" feature on the phone app has given me room to export some good footage while I save up to buy an iPhone next month.Another problem is the battery. If you use the camera as a dashcam, the amount of power the car charger puts into the camera is slower than the camera uses so it will eventually switch off after about one &half hours.You would definitely need one or two spare batteries. So, you cant use it as a dashcam unless you only want to film short clips.As for the desktop app...let me laugh first, loool.My computer completely froze for two hours & I had to find tedious backdoor ways to uninstall the app.Apparently, my ViewSonic 1080p full HD computer is too old for the app so I now also have to upgrade or buy a new 1920 laptop - which is not cheap.A reconditioned laptop with a 17" screen on Amazon, is currently over £300.00.So, for a reconditioned iPhone & reconditioned laptop, Im looking at spending not less than £700.This is on top of other Camera accessories I need like two spare batteries (£40 each), a charging port (£50), External mic (£50-£200), a 3m selfie stick (£90), a car mounting kit (£70), a carrier bag (£30), body & rucksack mounting kit (£20).Oh, & not forgetting the two year insurance I took out for accidental damage at £32.Is it worth it? A big YES!!!

one of my best choice.

I love this camera, I won't use my drone much I guess.

Well what can I say disappointed is not the word bought for a trip & it’s failed on day 2 & wont turn on spoke to customer service who advised to send it back for repair that’s great avoid is my advice go with a cheaper product.

Video is great when used in well lit areas eg outside or bright light. Absolutely awful in low or even normal inside lighting conditions.App is laggy, crashed regularly.Had to return as not fit for (my) purpose - recording gigs or studio work.If you want something to record outdoor action I’d still consider it though.
