Epic POV Camera

The media could not be loaded. For the price you pay, you get your moneys worth and a little more. If you are looking for Go-pro, HD-drift quality video and audio then you shouldn't be looking at this camera.I use this camera as a dash cam when driving and a helmet cam when riding my motorcycle.The camera comes with 1 strap that is 12 inches long, 1 strap mount, 1 contoured mount and Styrofoam type mount called saddle mount.The contoured mount comes with double sided tape on it. This is the mount I mounted on my helmet. The contour in the mount fits my helmet perfectly. I applied double sided type to the strap mount and used it as my dash mount.The camera shoots in 720 x 480 pixels and 640 x 480 pixels. A 15 minute video in 720 x 480 is about 800MB. The largest sd card the camera supports is 16GB. The instruction state not to format your sd card in FAT32, only in FAT. However, I was only able to get the card to work when I formatted it in FAT32.The issue I have with this camera are the controls for the lcd, the external mic and the cover in the rear. There are only 2 buttons to make changes on this camera and due to the small size of the LCD the information on screen is not very descriptive, also there is no date and time stamp on the recording. There is a label for date and time but the manual does not tell you how to set them. Just recording video is very easy, you turn the camera on, then you press S to start recording then S to stop recording. the external mic picks up a lot of wind noise and the back cover is made from flimsy rubber. Besides those issues the camera is great.If you are looking for a cheap dash cam then this works great. If you are looking for a camera that does high-end recording then look elsewhere.I have uploaded a short 1:28 min video of day and night recording. Video was recorded in 720x480.Update: I purchased DRIFT HD 720 Professional HD Action Camera (Black) which is a much better camera than this epic. If you don't mind paying an extra $18, I would recommend getting the drift instead of this. The drift build quality is 10x better, user options are better, plus it has a small lcd screen so you can watch the video you recorded and it comes with a remote.

Pros:priceruns on AAAs!!! This is a big deal!lots of mounts includedeverything workssimple 2-button operation (once you figure it out...more on this later)excellent batt life, 10hrs on original set of alkaline AAA's and going strong! wow!video is adequate for 'cool' vids but limitedHandles most conditions reasonably wellSuper light, mounted on bicycle helmet, don't notice it at allConsdoes not loophandles low-light (twighlight) poorly, almost blackcannot handle nighttimepoor bright light performance (ie full bright daylight washes it out)operation of the 2 buttons is inordinately convoluted. once you figure it out, it's simple. But the M and S buttons mean nothing.audio is near worthlessVideo is not good enough to read license plates (used as bike cam for safety... not good enough)Overall: Very decent budget action cam, decent design, excellent batt life, handles moderate lighting well. Low light is black, super bright light washes it out but still useable. Consider it a durable and well-designed toy to make fun vids of yourself & kids doing sporting things; not good enough to make high-quality video or as a safety cam.I have ordered the HD version of the same thing and have high hopes. I was very impressed with how lightweight yet robust this cam is. Have fun!

OK, it is not a GoPro.... Still for the price it is a very good camera with relatively good mounts. The only thing I would change is to add an audible beep with the battery goes or the SD fills up.

What a surprise. It actually works mounted on your handlebars, hat, dash or your choice. Full size SD card gives it arm & leg up on 3 others I looked at. It is light & small. LOVE IT.

very annoyed by this product. great video quality but horrible audio quality. i am a canine behaviorist and i wanted to talk while filming for my clients. but it sounds like i am under water. and it is only on the rim of my baseball cap! don't buy it. pay more and get more from another brand! also doesn't come with an sd card or a hat clip. had to order those and by the time i tried the camera and wanted to return it, 30 days had passed. 30 days?! ridiculous!

Already got to play a little...I flew it up on a kite taking a video of the woods and fields around my property.Also, I made an adapter for my bow using a 5/16 x 3 fine thread bolt and lock nut to fit in the stabilizer mount and dirlled a hole the head of it to mount the clamp from a tree screw kit on. I used camo Gorilla tape to cover it and it works great. With a lighted knock you can watch the arrow flight easily. I'll include a video if I can.Can't wait to try it fishing, mounted to rifle scopes, and on the atv.

The media could not be loaded. Pros = small, lightweight, easy to use, lots of mounting possibilities with included hardware, comes with lithium batteries, good quality (720 x 480), inexpensive.Cons = normal view (not a wide angle), cam must be mounted right side up for proper viewing.Overall, a good camera for only $60. Kit came with several mounting devices that could be used in multiple ways. I bought it for mountain biking and it takes the bouncing quite well. If you are looking for a wide angle cam this is not it, only shoots at a 48 degree angle. Also, not sure how other cams handle this but if you want your video to be right side up the cam has to be mounted that way. Thought I could mount it on the side of my helmet and there would be some sort of utility to rotate the video 90 degrees, but that wasn't the case.Bottom line is for $60 you can't beat it.I attached a quick test video I did in front of my house. Mount point was on the seat post.Mike
