At the camera's list price of $159, I wouldn't risk it, but the seller has couponed it down to $80 right now so...maybe? https://dreki.tech/ia800
The camera's issues come down to four main categories:
- Build quality issues: the buttons are very mushy and unresponsive. It makes controlling the camera a challenge, especially combined with the slow user interface. I don't know if buttons have been pressed. The camera body has cracked around the screen despite only using the camera to film this review and not in any 'action' scenes.
- Audio issues: I had to boost all audio in post production by 24db to make this video watchable.
- Video quality issues: The video at 4K30 is fine, as is the 1080p60. The 60FPS videos are severely unoptimized, which is especially disappointing since this is hardware that could do genuine 4K60. The 1440p60 is the biggset joke I've ever seen
- User Interface Issues: Might be a problem with my camera specifically? But I'm not buying another one to try out. The UI is slow and buggy. The camera often takes 30+ seconds to save footage to the card after I have stopped recording, and will freeze for that time. Absolutely unacceptable.
- Lens issues: My unit has a de-centered lens, so part of the frame is often out of focus. There is occasionally haloing/fringing that gives video a soft focus look ,and holding the camera out in front of me to vlog my face is always out of focus unless I hold it 2-3 feet+
Long and short of this is that the hunt for the best budget action cam continues, and this one had so much potential...
