It's a Gear Pro. Decent specs and includes a mount for $40 (closer to $50 delivered).

Thank you! Ordered it!!

 

[OptiMystic]

I did also. The review and discussion points out some pluses and minuses, but the mounts having the universal camera screw was the thing that sold me. Yeah it would be nice to have a GoPro with the remote and the direct to phone connect, but I have so many other things on my wish list and history has proven I really don't use cameras as much or as well as I plan to.

Just pulled the trigger also. Thanks Andi

Do post up an actual review and possible video quality. I've heard mixed reviews about it but you really can't beat the price!

Will do, but it will likely be a post mortem. They went on the market trying to go head to head with GoPro but pretty obviously falling short on a couple of features. Amazon started fire sales on them a while back and dropped them even further on Woot to clear the rest out. I am pretty sure they are better than the current price would suggest but not good enough to warrant their initial price. By "post mortem", I mean by the time I get mine they will likely be gone from the market (except maybe eBay).

Has anyone tried out their camera? I ordered one after seeing this but haven't tried it yet.

I was also wondering if this would work with it, might order one.

Best 40 bucks I spent!! I used a head strap from a head flashlight I had layin around worked awesome as well!!

If you order one of those report back and tell us if they work. I was messin around with my camera and made a short video and looked at it on my computer. It's mic isn't great but it takes pretty good videos.

Mine is still in the box. One of the kids will surprise me with it in three weeks.

 

[RouseD]

Haven't used mine yet either. I am way behind on technology. What is the thingy that has to be bought before vids can be taken?

I use a ScanDisk microSDHC UHS- 1 Card with adapter for pictures and video. You have to have a card before you can take pics or video. That is for a GoPro not sure for the Gear Pro.

 

[RouseD]

I think I read what you're talking about. Just haven't gotten out for a buy on the card yet. Thanks.

 

[BigE818]

Yes you have to get a micro sd card for I ti got a 16gb Sandisk at walmart for around 15-17bucks. The camera will not work without it. Make sure its a MICRO card and a class 10 as stated on the paper in the box. The 16gb card gives me 9999 pics and like 1 hour and 48 minutes of video... And downloading is very easy plug the usb cord to the computer and a box will pop up, download and name the pics or video an wella!! there ya go!!

Sold out wish I had seen this earlier.

 

[RouseD]

Thanks Eric. I'll a make a note of that and get one on my next trip to walmart.

 

[RouseD]

I'm usually a day late and a dollar short also, but pulled this one off.

Sold out wish I had seen this earlier.

 

[OptiMystic]

Glad you mentioned that. I will have to let my wife know that one of the other kids might want to surprise me with a microSD card...
