BOBLOV F5 2.7K Body Camera, 64GB Body Worn Camera with 150mins Video Recording, Small and Compact, Comes with Helmet Mount, for Traveling, Driver, Delivery Man, Lecture Recording (No WiFi)

I got the Boblov F5 camera after having pretty good luck with the little Boblov W1 1080P body cam, and this unit produces even better video and audio than its predecessor.the Boblov F5 has a nicer; more polished-looking case, but it is also a tad larger that the W1; thicker and longer than the older design and without the front-mounted pocket clip of the W1.Video processing is vastly improved on this new cam, with great-looking video if you opt to run it at 1520 resolution.The larger 64GB included XD chip is able to record the hi-res clips out to about 120 minutes long, which is approximately the same as it's onboard battery will last in 1520 resolution at 30FPS.The new F5 uses a two front-mounted control buttons, which is simpler to operate than the old W1 with buttons and switches on both sides, but it lacks the audio-only mode switch, which is not missed, and the unit is much easier to operate on the go in variable lighting conditions.Also; this camera runs in lower light than the Boblov W1 or any of the other small battery-powered body cams I've used.I opt to use sneakerware to remove the chip and download files to my PC for editing and storage, the software it references was not able to install on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 14, but not a big deal for me.I was able to successfully alter the date/time using the .ini file edit, then I just started using it.I plan to bring this little cam with us on an upcoming trip to the Bahamas and I'll provide an update to this review about how it held up.

La resolución de ésta cámara no me gustó, además de que no tiene estabilización de imagen.De noche no se puede grabar ya que no tiene luz que ilumine, y la poca luz que pudiera captar, lo capta con mucho ruido visual.Tiene 3 pequeños focos led, pero son sólo para indicar que la pila está baja o que está comenzando a grabar. Tiene una montura para el caso de la bicicleta, aunque ho la estoy usando para andar en bicicleta.Incluye también un adaptador de lector USB, para tarjeta micro USB y también un cable USB para conectarla directamente a la computadora.Aunque incluye el clip para poner la cámara en la ropa, la cámara se mueve mucho y no es muy estable la imagen, como mencioné antes, no tiene estabilización de imagen, por lo cual los videos quedan muy inestables.La cámara se ve hecha de buena calidad, al igual que los accesorios, pero la captura de la imagen ya sea para foto o video no es muy buena y tarda mucho para que se pueda tomar una foto, ya que se tiene que sostener el botón de disparo por unos 3 segundos sólo para poder tomar una foto.

This is a handy little body cam that's easy to operate and takes good quality video. The mic pickup is good and the microphone didn't get saturated with a light breeze. I like that it comes with mounting hardware. The best feature is the simplicity - all it does it take video and pictures. No screen or on-board editing, no wifi, nothing to mess up when you're in the middle of the action. The only downside is that there's no stabilization. I had it clipped to my shirt when I took a walk to test it, and the image swayed with every step. If should be fine mounted on a bike, for example, but be careful where you mount it

A very simple, and easy to operate body camera. The image quality, and sound are good. There's only 2 buttons, power and circle. Once the power is on, short pressing circle (bottom button) starts recording, same for stopping the recording. IR lights come on by short pressing the power button (top button). Recordings can be transferred by removing the 64 GB SD card, or by plugging in the Type C cable to a computer. I like how easy this is to use, and all the included mounting options, card reader, reset tool, and even a Type A to Type C adapter is very thoughtful. I like the smaller design of this, and the larger clip helps keep it in place.

This little camera is a really good value for the money. I’ve tested a few different body cams, and this does seem to be the best one in terms of image quality and image stabilization. Not to mention the audio is surprisingly good, too, which I wasn’t even expecting. Having said that, as a photographer and videographer, the image, quality and image stabilization are not on par with modern action cameras, so that’s something to keep in mind. But, if you’re a viewing this for what it is – a really affordable body camera, then this truly is an excellent value. So in that sense, this little camera is highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. This is a small body camera that includes both a pocket clip and helmet stick on mounting system. It comes with an integrated battery that takes 2 hours to charge, and can record for 2+ hours on a full charge. It also includes a MicroSD card to record onto.The manual claims that it has a companion APP which can access the camera over WiFi, but did not tell me how to find/download the app, and I couldn't find it by searching on the BOBLOV F5 name, so I never got an App to work.The manual also stated that I could turn on the "flashlight" by short pressing the power button, but I was never able to get a flashlight / tail-light to turn on.I was able to set the date/timestamp just by editing the "timesync.txt" file on the filesystem when I mounted it in a computer with the included USB cable, and it successfully date and time stamped my recordings after that point.The photos and recordings it took were of reasonable quality given the lens size and 2.7K resolution. I was not amazed by the image quality, but it was certainly acceptable and about what I would expect from this class of consumer gadget.As a standalone bodycam video recorder without an app or light, it worked well, and for this functionality I'd expect to pay around $40.While I took it kayaking, I don't expect it is waterproof. While it might survive a brief rainstorm (all of the ports were covered with a rubber flap and the buttons appeared to be sealed behind rubber), I would not trust it to be immersed in water.
