what happens when you surf ebay...
so was surfing ebay half heartedly looking for a new action cam as my old one was lost for ever and found it and the internal non replaceable battery had given up the ghost.... found this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172147041179 a $23 action cam, waterproof, wifi enabled, smartphone app controllable action cam... got one coming and a new micro sd card for it to see if its worth the money... my $30 emerson was junk... but it wasnt of chinese origin so....LOL this thing does it all.... see how well it does.....LOL from the listing if you dont want to click it....

Still no capability for a remote microphone either wired or wireless. There must be a specific reason for it because it seems like such a simple thing to implement and its the most requested feature on all these GoPro style cams.

I bought a similar one about 2 years ago. it has worked pretty well so far. the only negative I have about mine is that it will only record while on battery. I can not plug it into my cigarette lighter and record. it is charge-only at that time.

thats easy enough to mod if really desired... crack it open, desolder the internal mic, solder a whip with a jack on the end. add a hole in the case and silicone it.... or do like most of the motovloggers and run seperate audio and video capture. then sync in the "cutting room"

so got it a day ago... it is exactly what it is...LOL a $20 waterproof cam... picture quality leaves a lot to be desired.... a 12mp picture looks about like a 4mp.... however the colors are pretty well spot on and not really washed out... as for vid, i need to play with it a bit more before i can say the quality, as i havent had a chance to capture much video...

oh also.....took me about 20 tried s to find the app that's compatible with the csm for the wifi remote/transfer.... if you get this model, you need to search for WIFI SDV (in the play store for android)

I hope the video will be worthwhile.

if you are looking for a cheap gopro style camera i highly recommend an authentic SjCam 4000. Here's my youtube link. My 3 build videos were recorded with this camera. The quick release video was recorded with a dslr.

I have a GoPro and I can't get a quality video once it goes to You Tube. I'm sure it's pilot error somehow. I need to find the patience to see what I'm not doing correctly.
