Video Camera, 8K Camcorder 48MP 15FPS UHD WiFi Vlogging Camera with IR Night Vision for YouTube, 3" Touch Screen 18X Digital Zoom, with Fill Light, Mic, Stabilizer, Lens Hood, Remote and 2 Batteries

I'm a documentary filmmaker by trade who usually uses several manual DSLR cameras to shoot interviews, however, I started a podcast with a friend and found my pro kit was super cumbersome to manage and maintain while also being on camera. This lil' guy was the answer. It's a wide enough angle and high enough quality that it can get all three of us in the shot and I can zoom into whomever is talking in post without losing quality. Also nice is that I could attach my existing wireless lav and use for our guest so I don't pick up too much noise. I still use a H4N with two wired lavs for host audio, but honestly the shotgun mic provided in this kit is probably fine for casual production. It comes with a light attachment that has a bight, warm, and cold setting which is cool for different effects - and all of the attachments are chargeable by USB-C. My only complaint would be that the hot shoe accessories included (light and shotgun mic) don't have an additional hot shoe on top of them to stack another accessory - but that's probably not an issue a casual video camera user cares about. All in all this lil' guy cut my set-up time down by more than half and because it has a 360 degree view screen and a remote, I didn't need to be behind the camera to hit stop and record. Bonus, it records on SD cards which makes it easy to transfer footage (it also apparently plugs right into a computer to record straight to hard drive or livestream, but I haven't tried those.) I haven't used it for much outside of attaching it to a pair of sticks for podcasts but its easy, lightweight, small, and fairly inexpensive enough that this camera is probably going to make onto the packing list for family vacations or projects I can do with the kids.

UPDATE: The seller got to me immediately and fixed the issue I had with this camera initially. Without doubt the seller showed excellent customer service and helped me figure out what happened and cleared the issue for me. I liek the resolution of the camera and I think it will do fine for what I use it for. I will be much more diligent in placement and making sure it is recording. I have figured out the setting and although they are a bit different than I am used to, I am sure I can work it out well. Great Kudos to the seller for getting me going again. Original Review. After one hour of recording or thinking I was recording since it showed the red light on, I went to check my video and edit it to find the card completely empty. I also had a slight mishap and the camera tipped over on the tripod and landed on its side scratching the viewfinder, but then I found the viewfinder will not close completely now. I know it fell, but it was not a huge crash fall, but for such a simple fall it did enough damage the camera will probably not close completely now. I still have no idea why it did not record anything after all that time. I did notice it shuts itself off rather quickly and is not the easiest to get to the settings which are limited at best. It was cheap and I guess that is what you get for cheap. I will not buy again and I do not recommend to anyone unless you want to keep it in your hand all the time and babysit it.

Works great for what I want

I will give it a 2 because it does actually turn on and record video and take photos. BUT IT IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. There is no Infrared Night Vision, as they claim. There is nothing in the menu to activate night vision either; and furthermore, there is not one single spot in the instruction manual that speaks about it having night vision. Nothing about infrared either. The advertisement for infrared night vision was my whole reason for purchasing the camera. The video quality is terrible. Very grainy! I am SO disappointed! My granddaughter wants to be an astronaut and we were going to use this to record the comet. Now, Im not so sure it would even be able to zoom in on it, because though it says it is 18x zoom, it is not. My phone camera does a better job at zooming in, with only a 10x zoom! I feel like I'm using tech from the 70's with this thing! So very disappointed.

Really good value. Has much clearer picture then the previous cheaper one I had. Comes with all you see in the images. I like that it came with an actual battery charger so you can charge one battery while using the other. The camera that this replaced you had to charge the battery by plugging the camera into USB. The remote is really handy. The mic sound quality is really good and if needed you can charge it while recording as long as you have somewhere to plug the USB cable into. I haven't really used the light except to make sure that it works, which it does. Overall works really well, and there are a lot of functions and adjustments you can use. The only weird thing I noticed and it really isn't an issue is that when you have the screen open and rotated so it's facing you while the camera is (which is also a great feature), when it it switched on and it says "welcome" it is upside down. But once it gets to the actual video display it flips so the image is right side up. Again, not really an issue, just something quirky I noticed.

This is a newer version of the last one I purchased a few month's ago that I returned due to battery charging issues. This camera is working great and performing great.

Edited for clarity. After reviewing my post and spending a little more time testing the camera I've made an adjustment to my review. This is an inexpensive video camera and the quality is about the same as a typical smartphone. Therefore if you Don't expect broadcast quality you'll be content. The ISO functions don't offer much variation if you can't change the f stop aperture. Shooting in auto mode washed most of the images I needed out. In my original review I was mostly concerned about the quality of the sound. I was triggered because I needed a decent recording of a play my daughter was doing. If the images are grainy that's fine but the boom mic was shunted and closed the entire show. I did discover that the camera has an auto on feature for a built in condenser mic that interfered with the boom. Having that always on as a default setting might be short-sighted by the manufacturer (idk) especially if you're selling point is the boom. I did turn the DNR off (dynamic range mic). However this opened the mic so much that the sound now is over driven and pegged. I didn't play with the low range only the high range. Perhaps that would make a difference. I tried taking some still pictures for a photo reel and they were also just basic and a bit grainy no better or worse than my camera phone. I wanted to love this camera but I'm returning it ONLY because I need a higher quality VIDEO recorder for our theater program. Why didn't I just get one in the first place, you might be asking? I ordered this because it was delivered the same day I needed it. It was convenient and it really does have a lot of nice add ons. Unfortunately for my purposes they are too low a quality. I'm sorry to the seller if my original post seemed harsh because I was honestly expecting too much and didn't listen to my own advice about price. . NOTE* the seller did reach out to me asking if they could make things right. I have not yet responded to their emails. But because they made an attempt at resolving my issue without any escalation on my part I felt I should go back an re think my criticisms. There is potential inside this package if you are interested in home movies, this is for you. But on any other level save the seller and yourself the headache of being disappointed.

This camera has really good video quality. the storage capacity is wonderful. The color accuracy is spot on. It also will connect to the wifi with ease. its the perfect size to fit in your hand

c'est du brol.

Llegó antes de la fecha propuesta en excelentes condiciones gracias

Not as advertised. No memory card, only one battery, no separate charger, no fill in light. So far not impressed.

Amateur type only
