Might be an idea to mention that it's wifi enabled too. I have the SJ4000 and it's a great budget camera. I've no need for 4K so this one is overkill for me, but compared to gopro pricing, then it's a bargain.
Is it a perfect gopro replacement? No, but is it anywhere near the price of their gear??

Thanks for sharing that alternative.

Would you happen to know if it can be used as a WiFi IP camera? Also, can it be powered permanently via the mains?

I don't want to buy 2 separate cameras, as far as possible.

Edit: After reading a review that says the WiFi range is only ~5m, perhaps I should give it a miss

Battery life?

I've no need for 4K so this one is overkill for me

You might want to shoot 1080p @ 60fps instead though, you're better off buying these higher spec ones for that reason.

60fps video does look great. For action I'd take 1080p @ 60fps over 4k @ 24fps.

Bought one of these last year, quality is great but found the batteries almost useless while skiing. We only really got a few minutes of recording probably from the cold temperature

Why would I want to buy a 4K camera to shoot 1080 at 60fps when I've already said happy with what my current version runs at?

It can be powered by USB indefinitely, like a car DVR. In fact it has a car mode where the display is rotated (there's a separate rotation function) and auto power off then the USB power is disconnected/shut off.

I'm guessing he doesn't know what the sj4000 does.

SJ4000 doesn't do 1080p @ 60fps. Only 720p @ 60fps.

Even then it's double frame, not true 60fps, it records each frame twice

Keep guessing and by all means, keep posting useful comments like the one above.

It shoots 60fps at 720p, which I'm perfectly happy with as I needed to shoot a long time on one without editing/deleting. I'm perfectly happy with the 720p footage. As yet I've not needed 1080 at 60 and certainly dont need to buy a new camera for that.

I have the SJ4000 and it's a great budget camera.

Where did you buy it from please & for how much? I can see them being sold (like new) on eBay for ~£10 delivered by FarEast sellers - a relevant search: ebay.co.uk/sch…724

Edit: And amazingly for just ~£11 from UK-based sellers: ebay.co.uk/sch…500

I bought it 2 years ago from Banggood. If you buy from ebay you've probably an 80% chance of getting one of the many SJ4000 copies! Yup, this "copy" of the gopro did so well that loads of companies knocked out identical copies, with varying degrees of success. A quick google will help you differentiate, or attempt to!

Yes, I've heard about the fakes. Genuine SJCams apparently have QR & alpha-numeric codes that one can verify via their website, like in this eBay auction (last pic): ebay.co.uk/itm…115

Is this any good at £29.99?

Image stabilisation on these is superb. I use one on my race car. Video quality is way better than any of the 30 quid clones that I've seen. Wish it had a decent remote control, though.

That's a new development, they didn't have those when I got mine

Nice spot, wish it wasn't Gearbest though. Purchased once from them with a bad experience.

16th Aug 2017

Do any of these perform well in low light ( I have a Sony actioncam but really disappointed with footage in darker conditions) ?

16th Aug 2017

Amazon are selling this for ~100 quid. is it worth buying this from Gearbest considering Duty and VAT on this?

17th Aug 2017

The WiFi doesn't mean anything on this version, they don't have the software out for it yet so if you're buying it for that reason don't bother.
