Veho Muvi HD10X Micro Camcorder | HD | Handsfree | Body Worn | Action Camera | 8GB microSD Card | 1080p30 - Black (VCC-003-MUVI-1080)

Great little camera. Very small about the length and with of a average man or woman's thumb. Picture quality is very good for only a 2 mega pixel camera. Microphone is very good picks up 64 db i had the radio playing at a comfortable volume and standing around 20 - 30 foot away from it the microphone still picked it up. can clip on to a piece of clothing with the supplied mount and can also rotate 360 degrees on said mount. Very easy to use switch it on LED light on to of camera is blue for fully charged give it a second or two then press the record button next to the LED light on top of the camera the LED then slowly flashes green for recording. All is explained clearly inside the user manual. The sound is on and recording all the time without anyway to turn the microphone off (that I know off). There is a function on the opposite side of the power button called "VOX" I have been told by the manufacturer that this is for when the camera is in standby mode (switched on for 2 mins without detecting movement) the microphone will pick up sound and start recording this can be switched on or off. It will take up to 8GB micro sd card but supplied with a 4GB micro SD card which gives around 2hrs recording. To charge the battery just connect it to the laptop. It can also be used as a web camera which is handy if you don't already have one. Because its not water proof I also bought Veho VCC-A002-WPC Waterproof Case for Muvi Micro Camcorder It doesn't seem to blur the picture which is good but it is slightly bulky. The camera has to be switched on the inserted into the case as there is only a record button on the casing. The casing also comes with a arm strap that stretches and another clip that also rotates 360 degrees. For the price of the camera its very impressive.

Delivery was uneventful, so cant fault the reseller.However, I have some criticisms of the product itself and some recommendations for alternatives.The device is small (about the size of a USB memory stick, slightly fatter) but its quite compact and sturdy with the case being of metal rather than plastic. There are no protruding parts, so nothing really to snap off. The power button and VOX button on each side are small slider buttons which are a bit fiddly (a finger nail will help) but fine. The record button is a tiny square press button on top of the unit, it works fine. The USB connector is at the bottom (not the flat mini-USB style connection now common on mobile Phones, its the older style D shaped connector).The camera fits quite snugly into the small crocodile-clip holder but the clips 'grip' isn't quite tight and weighted correctly which means that if you clip it to a shirt or jacket the camera will probably droop downwards or off to one side. Not the end of the world. If you want to attach it to your car dashboard or bike then perhaps a piece of velcro-fastener would be most suitable.I found the video quality to be satisfactory but not outstanding. Audio recording wasn't great.One thing that has annoyed me is that I cannot set the 'time' in the device - it doesn't have a clock! Every video .avi file has a creation time of 31st Dec. 2000. I believe the more expensive Pro model has a clock.So far battery life seems okay but I haven't had it long enough to know if it begins to drop off with use.If you want to use this device as an in-car DVR then perhaps you should consider something cheaper such as the "Car Dash Vehicle Recorder" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005Q6CJI4), its £14.62 at the time of writing (although you should be aware that it is a typically cheap mass produced product shipped from China; not that the Veho isn't!).If you want a personal DVR for whilst out walking or cycling consider the Toshiba Clip (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007O9ZYQU/). I haven't tried this device myself but it does have a better spec and is slightly cheaper. It also has a small screen to see what you have recorded.Alternatively, for in-car dash or biking consider a cheap mobile phone (you can get an Android phone for £59 at Tesco) and install the FREE DailyRoads Voyager app on Android or the FREE Road Eye app on Windows Phone (haven't checked for an iPhone equivalent). With built in GPS you can even track your journey, upload to DropBox and its a phone too!The Veho VCC-003 is a neat little DVR but they need to do better in terms of its capabilities in order to beat the alternatives.
