GA420 Dual Screen Action Camera 4K 60FPS 24MP Touchscreen Underwater Camera, 10M Body Waterproof/40M Waterproof Helmet Bike Camera with EIS, Remote Control, 2x1350mAh Batteries, Accessory Kit

My first delve into the world of action cameras so I have no previous experience. I looked long and hard at the GoPro 11 but simply couldn't justify the price. The camera itself is tiny, feels weighty in the hand and gives the impression of being well built. I downloaded the app and paired it easily enough. I tried to download the first attempts of footage to my macbook but no matter what I tried it simply would not find the device. Trying to review the footage on the rear screen I find its just too small to give much of an idea. Just got back from a week in Cornwall so have used the camera a bit more, also fired up an old windows surface which found the device immediately.. Having now reviewed the footage I can say I'm surprised how good it actually is. I've unknowingly shot everything in in wide angle so the horizon has the annoying fisheye look. The photos are clear and vibrant but zooming in they show a slight lack of detail. The internal mic suffers from wind noise quite badly, the EIS works quite well smoothing out the bumps on a bike ride. I shot everything in 4k 30fps as other reviews claim the 60fps degrades the image. It also works pretty well underwater with no issues. There are a load of bits for attachments most of which I probably will never use but simply having them is a real bonus. I feel the cost is the biggest bonus of this camera. I purchased the camera, 128gb extreme card, extending selfie stick and a carry case for only £10 over the price of the brave 7. Be careful to look after the rubber lens cap as its very easy to loose and a nightmare to replace! Overall this is a competent little camera at a very reasonable price, the fact its waterproof without a case is a big plus. A waterproof case is supplied for the scuba divers. The interface is relatively simple to use, the image quality will be more than acceptable for the majority of users. Be aware of wind noise, the supplied external mic may be better. I didn't try it as I used above and underwater shots at the beach and with the external mic connected its no longer waterproof. It comes with lots of attachments which should get anyone started. You will need an sd card, get one fast enough to cope with the 4k recording and grab a selfie stick as its much easier to use than holding a tiny camera.

In terms of still image quality I was quite impressed versus my experience with another brand. At an additional 4 megapixel (24 megapixel) over its competitors, it does seem to make a difference. Rich colours, reasonable sharpness. Images can accept a 50% zoom without degrading the image too much. Detail is a little lacking versus a good mobile phone and you are never going to read a number plate at distance (for example). But nevertheless it does produce reasonable quality snaps. When recording in 4K it gobbles up the memory. You can use 215 mb in 30 seconds. 2.7K 170 mb and 1080p 110 mb. With image stabilization, in some cases memory consumption is reduced. I found that with stabilization enabled, there was a subtle reduction in picture quality in all cases i.e. more smoothing and less detail. 4K 60 fps was just too jittery for me and vertical lines were jagged and flickering. My preference was 2.7K or 1080p 60 fps and without the image stabilization. Daylight shooting is great, but as daylight deteriorates you start to see some grain. But it works well in low light conditions, until maybe dusk. Sound recording is, in my opinion, quite good. The unit itself fits in the palm of your hand, and is of reasonable quality. It is quite heavy at 4.7 ounces or 133 grams (with battery installed) and my Hohem gimbal trembles when the camera is attached. If I remove the battery, the gimbal is fine, so there is about half an ounce excess. It only has a wide angle, not super wide and the image stabilization is only available for certain video resolutions. I would have preferred to have had a battery charger supplied as part of the accessories as it seems to be super hard finding a standalone charger that will take the GA420 battery. One of the simplest things provided by Wolfang is a simple rubber lens cap. What genius. In summary, this is never going to match high end mobile phone cameras. But for a budget action camera that produces quite good quality video footage and costs little more than £100 I don’t think I can complain.

Très bonne caméra j'aimerais juste avoir une plus grosse batterie

La Wolgang GA420 è una Action Cam stupenda, la qualità video(uso prevalentemente il 4k(30) è ottima e paragonabile alle "Cam" di prezzo e blasone superiore, Migliorabile la qualità audio del microfono interno, ottimo invece quello con il microfono esterno(fornito in dotazione). Ottima la dotazione degli accessori. Sorpreso in positivo dalla durata delle batterie(2x1350mAh). La stabilizzazione è molto buona anche in movimento (Bike). Buona l'impermeabilità senza la custodia subacquea e molto interessante il Dual Screen. Super contento dell'acquisto!! Una nota di merito alla professionalità del Support Wolfang e al venditore Rakele per un problema che ho avuto e risolto in tempi rapidissimi.

aparat do zdjęć podwodnych naprawdę dobry, używałem go głównie pod wodą, miałem go teraz na rafie w Hurghadzie, naprawdę jestem z niego zadowolon,y za te pieniądze naprawdę Wlk pozytyw

Mille mercis pour votre message. Je ne manquerai pas de vous contacter si j'ai le moindre soucis avec votre caméra. Pour l'instant, je n'ai aucun problème. Je suis très satisfait de votre produit que je ne comparerai pas avec les gopro, qui ne sont pas du tout les mêmes caméras et pas du tout au même tarif. Vous proposez une caméra correcte avec tous ses accessoires à un prix très concurrentiel, merci pour ça. Je cherchais une caméra qui fasse office de dashcam pour mes ballades en moto et pas besoin d'une gopro à 450 euros (sans aucun accessoires d'ailleurs, faut rajouter 200 euros pour atteindre le niveau d'accessoires que vous proposez avec votre ga420... C'est fou !). Pour 100 euros, vous nous proposez une caméra avec une stabilisation correcte, une autonomie correcte, une qualité d'image très correcte, une interface hyper simple et la cerise sur le gâteau, un microphone et une 2ème batterie ! C'est tout simplement du jamais vu. Je possède également 2 vraies gopro et votre ga420. Bien évidemment que c'est un peu meilleur chez gopro mais quand on ramène la qualité au tarif que vous proposez pour votre ga420, c'est juste incroyable. Il faut arrêter de comparer une gopro à 600 euros (à accessoires égaux) avec votre ga420 à 100 euros... Vous avez développé ici un très bon produit au rapport qualité prix indiscutable. Petit bémol, il aurait été royal de fournir un chargeur de batterie. En effet, c'est assez contraignant de devoir charger ses batteries dans la caméra. Ensuite, grâce à la vis 1/4 de pouce sous la caméra, il est possible de filmer sans le boîtier étanche, ça, c'est super! Mais du coup, la lentille est exposée aux cailloux ou insectes... Il serait excellent que vous développiez des protections rondes pour protéger la lentille de la caméra ou un cache qui s'emboiterait par dessus la lentille. Sinon, excellent produit ! Vous êtes sur la bonne voie ! Et surtout n'essayez pas d'atteindre le niveau de qualité des gopro parce que vos tarifs augmenteraient et ça deviendrait moins intéressant pour nous. Les caméras wolfang ga420 ont tout d'une grande pour 100 euros, c'est tout à fait ce que beaucoup de monde recherche. Encore merci ! 😉

Fantastic action camera! Much better than what I expected. Fantastic customer service from Wolfang team!
