Action Camera Deals & Offers

Ok, opened it up. First page of instructions say 720p camcorder upscaling to 1080p. Of course Box has Full HD 1080p As clear a deceptive selling practice as you can get. It's going back, rather put the tenner to something that produces footage that doesn't look like it came from 1995 !

I bought one last Sunday, image quality is quite poor.... But as someone said, what can you ask for a tenner?

Picked up one in Baguely tonight. One left in case. Advertised at £19.99, but scanning for a tenner. Not opened yet as research tells me it might have just a 720p sensor and it's upsizing to 1080p. which is a bit of a con and I wouldn't waste even a tenner on it

Thanks managed to get one in Hamilton store at lunchtime and to those interested there was only one left.

There were some left when i posted but when i was in yesterday the one from the display cabinet was gone but when i bought mine they got it from throught the back in the warehouse so dont know if they have any left.

You need to go to online chat and show them the link.

Halfords won't price match an on line Chinese seller - surely you know that ? They did for me

From which store ?

sorted got matched instore no issues

This time next year GoPro will be filing for bankruptcy anyway, so your warranty won't be worth squat. Unless someone buys them, or they license their IP.

The problem being the cheap ones do not have the touch screen sensor. Thanks for the link though but I have one from the seller of the camera. He was kind enough to send me a free one.

I'm after a camera just for decent quality time lapses. This doesn't seem to have that little thread for a tripod connection. Newbie question but would I need to buy a case to sort that out?

Does anyone know where to buy this case to hold camera and gimbal? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yi-4K-and-gimbal-bundle-Accessories-/162878874513?hash=item25ec566391:g:YHMAAOSwgLlab6qZ&nma=true&si=uimAjDV09VB9ZzUDeOB3EeqHEWw%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Probably this time next year (y) Hard to compare as I don't have either, but the pessimistic part of me thinks it's bad business for manufacturers to pack all the features into a 35 quid camera. Better off saving those features to encourage purchase of more expensive models.

When am I going to be able to buy a non-interpolated 4k 60fps action camera for £20? (lol) My current action camera is a wimius S2 which I think I paid £13-14 from amazon warehouse 2-3 years ago. It's a 4MP sensor and does 1080p 60 fps well with great image stabilisation. It also has a 1440p native resolution video at 30fps plus lots of other features. The 1440p video does upscale quite nicely using a PC video editing software and you can interpolate the frames to 60fps at the same time but its clearly inferior to a genuine 4k 60 fps video and motion is obviously better upscaling 1080p 60fps to 4k 60fps. This thing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/WiMiUS®-S2-Action-Camera-Definition/dp/B015MS40JG Just feels like the same spec or worse even being sold today, why hasn't budget action camera's moved on? It's like the sensors may have improved but the SOC haven't got much more powerful at the bottom end. I mean why isn't this YI action camera doing 4k 60fps with its 8MP sensor? No image stabilisation, what's that about? Here's mine showing the stabilisation, does this actually mean I can buy a camera now that doesn't have that same function and will give worse results? It's like the market has polarised more with budget cameras not keeping up;

The review on the scan CaptureCam page is mine. Unless they've released a very recent upgrade (in the last month) the issue is you cannot get to the log on/authentication page in the software to tell the app your Facebook credentiale in the latest firmware / IOS 10 or IOS 11 .If you had already logged on or use android it may fine. The camera is on firmware SWEP_GQC2B1A-V01.018.03g_02 (remember mines the capturecam, not this one but the APP is the same) and the IOS app is on 1.056 too Streaming to the phone in the app is fine, all the controls (bat FB) work fine, as is all the recording to the onboard MicroSD, I used it to recors in timelapse of a 15 hour event (did have it powered externally, dont think the battery will last that long). I've been working with someone in EE to get the firmware updated they were not sure if its IOS that changed or Facebooks logon pages. And to update it it has to be on EE's network via a SIM card with some data. After that you can use any network to stream live with it.

.

good find Thanks

I ordered a £1 EE card which came with 250 or 500 mb of date. Insert SIM card into camera. Install the EE action cam app on your phone/ tablet. Connect your phone to the camera (WiFi hotspot - it's annoying, but works). Via the app, you can now control the camera (configure/ adjust settings) and download the update which is about 1mb Worked for my 4GEE action cam.

I have this, how you update it?

No they are two separate units which I run from a dual usb in the glove box

I have been looking at the Aukey for a week or so for the wife and possibly me, Dexix can you link your ToGuard together or 2 seperate units?

Totally agree I have two cameras which is cheaper than this deal and they are great quality! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M9DG2A0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

hi, are you using 1 of mobius2 as set up? how much did it cost

Looks mint, still a decent price at £99, £85 is a steal.

Sold out.

What is the angle of the lens? Doesn't look wide. And I don't get the SIM thing? Do you need a mobile phone like connection between watch and can to start/stop recordings?

I bought this pack its amazing recommend to all

The 1 review of 23 March 18 says it's no longer supported. Support for this device has been discontinued by EE and the App that needs to be used to stream to Facebook Live no longer works. Pity as during the time I used it I found it robust and reliable. Same comments apply to the EE Capture Cam which uses the same App for live streaming. If you don't need to live stream either device provides a way of recording video for later viewing

Had one before, you get what you pay for (not including the watch since it isn't really useful in my opinion, more of a gimmick). Slightly on the bulky side and the image quality, as it is non-stabilised, is rather lackluster. Heat for price though.

I just printed the page from the Tony deals website that showed their price, that it was in stock and it was the same day as me going into Halfords. It was hit and miss as to whether they’d say yes as Toby deals isn’t really a U.K. retailer but it does have a .co.uk website address

even cheaper now https://www.tobydeals.co.uk/en_GB/product/gopro-hero6-black-4k-ultra-hd-camera-not-for-au-market-1.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxeTbg6GS2gIVjrztCh1kjQtnEAQYASABEgITVvD_BwE&awc=6249_1523988457_ceaf97eb900e340fd839fe81d83708a7&utm_source=affiliate-window&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Affiliate_Window_Sale

The Toby deals link you gave them? They refused that for me. If not could u tell me what site you used please. The op link just takes me to a search on eBay but nothing at those prices. Thanks

I did an online chat. had to buy it in store though, they just gave me a reference

would it be possible tp show me the printout or an exampl so i can do it? or showing the site on mobile better option?

I went onto the online chat tonight and they have confirmed they will match them. I sent them a link and they have send me a reference number to take in to the shop :)

I’d be interested if anyone has had any success using Halfords price match with Toby deals....

How do you get them to match Tobydeals? Is that in store or via online? Do they not question that it’s being sent from abroad?

Scan.co.uk retailer I’ve trusted for years, £358 and next day delivery (not sure if for everyone though as I get free next day on anything over £20 with them)

tell me more

Was in bed last night so couldn't really update on my tablet. Used - Acceptable (to be fair, not sure I'd pick this option!) is £85.99 now with the 20% off, from £107.49 Used - Good is £90.99 now with the 20% off, from £112.61 The Used - Very Good options aren't there now, but the Warehouse listing has updated, so that may change too.

Now with 20% off!! https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/20-off-the-amazon-uk-from-midnight-germany-spain-warehouses-2911357

Cheers (lipstick) Seems I need to do more in-depth research on 4K Action Cameras!! (boyf ended up buying the Yi 4K Camera https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/yi-4k-sport-action-camera-with-waterproof-case-leather-case-floating-handlebar-1-extra-battery-13598-with-promos-sold-by-yi-official-store-uk-and-fulfilled-by-amazon-2906226 - mentioned on HUKD earlier this month).
