The package arrived and everything was included - TONS of accessories. I was able to use it right out of the package once I plugged in the microSD - the battery life was decent - I did like the fact you could easily recharge the battery by just plugging in the camera to your standard charger. I had no issues downloading the Ez iCam app to be able to transfer photos/videos from the camera to my phone - and I was able to use my phone to control the camera with no issuesThe pictures were decent - to color is a little saturated but at the price point this is compared to others or a go pro it really was negligible for me. The underwater photos and videos were fantastic IMO - nice and clear. Editted to add...the decompression of the video I attached makes the video look bad - in person it plays great on phones and when i uploaded to social media sites. The pictures are taken in a panoramic fashion - just something to be aware of if you wind up wanting to print them out later or crop themIs this the best out there for this type of camera - no - but for the price is a great little starter entry camera for those who need the use of this type of camera every now and then

Good value for the money
Pros: Great camera especially considering the price tag. The wide angle camera captures a lot of scenery, which is great for outdoor/activities that an ‘action’ camera should do. The camera comes with a lot of different mounting accessories including a selfie stick and an extra battery. You’re definitely not getting all the bells and whistles that you’ll get with a GoPro but you also don’t get the huge price tag of a GoPro.Cons: Time lapse mode takes a series of photos instead of automatically stitching them into a time lapse video. You can combine it easier enough once you get them them onto your computer but I wish the camera would automatically convert them into a video right away.

let down
I thought I was going to get a sweet deal on a action camera without all the bells and whistles. Usually that's the route I like to go...blu ohone vs I phone etc.....well this camera arrived with all the mounts etc and looked great but in the end it only worked for about two minutes and then conked out. After that every time I pressed record it just went to a pixelated screen. At least I found out before we left for the trip. Just ordered a go pro

Not what you think you're ordering
This isn't a EKEN H9 sports camera. It's a no-name knock off.On top of that, the one I got was defective, putting a purple splat right in the middle top of all pictures, making it useless right out of the box.

warranty sucks.
Camera is junk. Cannot be used for "action" as you will get flashing colors across screen. It works ok if using for still motion or as a webcam. Also, warranty sucks.

Nice beginner action camera
I was looking for a action camera and didn't want to spend the money for a go pro. I really like that I can use my phone to control the camera and that is has a view screen. Some of the colors could be brighter but all in all this is a good beginner action camera.It comes with a lot of accessories and an extra battery. It is easy to use and takes good video.

~Perfect Camera at an Affordable Price!
This purchase was a gift for someone going on vacation. They enjoyed this camera very much! Took many under water shots and the clarity was clear and sharp. Still photo shots were just as clear and they said it was very easy to use. Although it's not my camera system, I found it to be a little marvel. For the price, this is a great starter camera. Thanks a million!

Awesome
I have to say that this camera is awesome. Didn't use it a lot yet, but quite enough to make an idea of the quality.-Comes with a lot of mount, 2 battery and charger, a selfie stick, etc.-1080p/60fps looks absolutely stunning-Fits most gopro mounts-Image quality during sunny day is beautiful. Maybe less realistic colors than a gopro, but I like it this way-Looks solidOverall, yes, it has some drawback on the Gopro (low light filming for example), but at 80$ you can't expect an equivalent quality as a 500$ product.Don't hesitate, buy this thing right now.
