That's not bad at all for a helmet camera.

Resolution does add to the battery time, yes. Based on what I have experienced - it JUST about gets me to work on a charge at 1080P30. 1080P60 (plus I have stabilisation on) gets you about 1:30 1080P30 gets you to about 1:45 720P did me about 2hrs

Thanks. I take it turning the camera down in resolution doesn't add anything to the battery time? Just under 2hrs might actually be ok but if I can stretch it slighly?

Around 1hr 45 - 1hr 50

What are the battery like on these? I'm looking for a camera that can last 2 hrs for my cycle rides.

Deal must now be over?

showing £199?

back in stock

Bought one on impulse before holiday to Japan. Turned out to be a great buy, quality is superb and having it always in your pocket adds to the value. Not having a screen wasn't a drawback for me as it's so small you always know where your pointing. I just kept downloading the video/pictures to a HDD and started again. the battery lastest for hours and was charged quickly. Not just for action and drones IMHO.

Got this thanks to a HDUK Argos deal for £120. I upgraded from an EE Action Camera (£20), was very disappointed picture and video quality not a remotely a step up. But the size and no need for a case is good.

No screen, purely an action cam, and fixed battery too. Have a look at the new hero 2018, can be had for not much more, perfect new to the brand camera

Jessops are still price matching at this price. Thanks OP - got one last night :)

I went from the original yi action cam , to a yi lite ( which i consider even with the session 5 deal the best budget action camera out there for what you get specs wise versus price ) . I had been looking at upgrading to a yi 4k ( well dropping hints as my bday is coming up) so have been keeping a close eye on prices especially on amazon as they always have deals and offers. But when the session dropped that was a no brainer purchase. I'd take no screen over rugged , small easy to use and waterproof out the box any day of the week now esp as most of the stuff i film is dogs at beach

No issues as such but 25p looks slightly different from 30p. 60p is good for slow motion. Its easier to mix footage from multiple cameras if they have same frames rates. 25p gives slightly better low light. But only slightly. But higher frame rate is better for fast movement.

Hmm ok, does that cause comparability issues? Must say I've been using 30/60 FPS on a go pro and not noticed any issues yet.

Uk is mainly 25p and 50p but some of these action cams only do 30p and 60p etc. Thats what i ment about 25p. I think go pro might do 25p.

25p? Eh? From the reviews I've seen, image quality between the hero 5 and the yi 4k is very close. Either can edge it depending on the environment at the time, but largely interchangeable. The go pro has some great additional features, such as robustness, waterproof as is, better EIS, but you pay significantly more for those advantages.

640 x 360

I wonder what the resolution of le ptojecteur is...doesn't seem to say in la characteristiques

I have this model and it really good, easy to use and the projector is a great feature. The comment above about a dark room required for the projector is wide off the mark

It works ok - it's not cinema style, but you get a decent picture up on the wall.

Would have so gone for it because of the projector but 13 lumens :o...seriously ? Will need a darker than dark room to see anything.

Good cam, I've been very impressed since buying a few months back. Would swap the option linked though for the cam plus waterproof case at same price. On the waterproof case it allows you to add the free handlebar, in addition to two deals on the leather case which in combination actually reduce the total price by a fee quid and gives you a free case (y)

Another let down: Battery life, Customer service, Cheap waterproof case that cracked after four uses. In hindsight, id prefer to pay the extra for the GoPro

Should note that the Yi 4k & Waterproof case bundle is £179.99 with £51 off promo. Making it £128.99. Given the Yi 4k itself is not waterproof you might want to consider spending the extra £14. Video quality rivals GoPro Hero5 black from the reviews. Only letdown is the audio quality.

A deal is a deal. That does annoy me when people vote cold too! If there is literally 2 left in country fair enough but that's more than 50!

@sam_brackley thx for your input, often people vote Argos deals cold because they don't had stock near,however this doesn't mean there is no stock available as can be seen from the extensive list.thx 💝

Good deal just can't find stock for miles :(

You're getting razer sharp 720p footage from this thing, anything above that is uncecessary!

Looks like what Ryan air are flinging on board flights at £69.99 saying it’s the same as a £300 + go pro buy cheaper

^ Video samples at 9m30s onwards in the video above. The image quality actually looks really bad....

£39.77

Says 38 pound

Not voting hot or cold - I've been looking at the Key Mission 80 for a while but the reviews and the ltd spec (1m waterproof, built in battery, mediocre video) put me off at £239 - but £99 starts to makes it a bit more interesting. But then what more does it do than a good smartphone ?

Be sure to read reviews before going for this. I did and it put me off!

Diffrent cam from web link, cam from the pic cost £199

pic shows the 360 not the 80. Good deals though.

Don't get me wrong, a £100 camera is going to be fine for the majority of people and do everything that they need it to do. More expensive cameras will just do that better, or do more things that the average user would never even think about nevermind be something they actually wanted to do. For example a professional or enthusiast videographer is going to want a large sensor camera do get shallow depth of field, and have control over the frame rate and bit rate their footage is recorded at to ensure it comes out matching their vision. It's all about identifying your needs and buying the right camera for you, just as it is with cars or washing machines or any other piece of gadgetry.

OMG my last Sony camcorder was about £150 & was HD, granted it was a few years ago but I'm really shock at this price and now you tell me it used to be double.......I have a Panasonic TZ camera that cost about £200 & takes excellent films and photos . Having said that the latest version is double that and has less functionality......

Prices do reduce, but there will always be expensive things too. This camera used to be £2000, and now that it's £1100 there will be another camcorder introduced taking up that same £2000 space.

How much? Are you kidding? There was me thinking tech prices were reducing......

This was a cool camera back when it launched in 2014, but these days 4K recording has found its way into every enthusiast camera and this thing just doesn't stand up to the competition anymore. For example the Panasonic FZ2000 is a few hundred pounds cheaper and has the same 1" sensor size and 20MP resolution, a larger zoom range (20x vs 12x) with the same maximum aperture range (2.8-4.5), a broader range of frame rate options up to 120fps at 1080p, and substantially better stills performance. And if you don't need the enormous zoom range then you could get something from one of the mirrorless manufacturers that will be even better for both video and stills and have the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.

Ordered - heat added. Comes with a great accessory kit. Going skiing next week and will use it for that - also plan to use it for diving later in the year.

Anybody recommend a indoor camera that will work and take a pic that's not to dark at this sort of price.

i think its a good beginners action cam. and for £30, you wont be crying if your kid breaks it after 3 months!

There are a whole load of these cameras that have exactly the same spec, you will get the same one with a different name for £28.62 on lightning deal every couple of days. For the price they are really good little cameras.

After seeing the reviews, it's not for me. Good price though, so if it suits your needs go for it

The '4k' feature is a gimmick. 15fps will look terrible. Much better off using 1080 at 60fps. While it may be a good deal compared to RRP, I'm not sure this camera is offering much. If you want a good 4k camera, look at the Yi 4k, it costs a bit more but it's a great bit of kit for the price. If you want an affordable action cam, there's plenty knocking around that beat this one for around 40 quid on Amazon (e.g. Campark ACT-76 which has 4k at 30fps). Just don't see what this is targeted at. It's not that good and it's not that affordable. Moist.

Can't comment on this particular model but I've been impressed with the Muvi 1080p action camera I've got; I'll almost always use it over the Hero 3 I've got because of the built in screen.

Audio’s good, even underwater

What’s the audio like

Got one in JL a few months ago, well please with it. Just got back from the Maldives got some great videos and ph

Yeah same prize on mazon, only difference is John Lewis will have a 2 yr warranty. GoPro HERO5 Session Camera - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LZTLCFX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bGXDAbQDQ9K07

Go Pro will be dead as a business within a year. Their stock has tanked.

Hi @i8thepie I asked Panasonic outlet just now and the contact was prompt replying but didn't personally know the answer. He thinks the camera will output to whichever source is connected but that seems vague. Looks like a good camera though, worth checking reviews on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=av_i1fuiMqs&t=521s

Can you live stream to other platforms apart from ustream e.g YouTube

Oos :(

Optical Zoom is 50x. not bad.

Defo :p I've only seen these cameras focusing on close up, not sure how good the optical zoom is etc maxmix

Amazing deal - just ordered and the promotion is now £60 off making it £119.99!

Worth mentioning that OP that you get bike mount free under promotion if you add both to basket :D

If your still after the mount and not got camera yet, amazon bike mount free (highfive)

Any recommendations for a bike mount? Thinking about getting it but not sure.

Excellent deal, have some heat I have owned a number of action cams and I have to say the Yi 4K is easily the best of them. Only thing better would be the Yi 4K Plus, but for the addition of 60fps 4K video it costs nearly twice as much. Definitely worth the plun
