sj4000 action camera ?

Calum122 · Guru

Haha that's hilarious! Amazing chinease copy. The spec matches the White edition GoPro. It's amazing how good these replicas are.

I'd say this HONESTLY, for the amount I use my GoPro one of these would be worth the money. Mine gets used a couple of times a year, hardly worth what I paid and this would do exactly the same. So what if the quality of parts is not as good. It would do the job.

I am normaly a big hater of chinese crap mainly bikes but some electronic items do work ok and for the price it seems good.

side by side sj4000 v gopro

the video looks just the same

Calum122 · Guru

As said, for the amount I actually use mine, it seems well worth it.

My main concern is that I don't often go to a track. And as such most of my riding is on road. And that's not good. It's not a good idea to ride silly and post it on the internet for everyone to see. So I don't. A lot of stuff I just keep to myself.This would be idea. I think I would still have the GoPro because I'm a bit of a sap. But for someone on a budget it seems a win win.

yeah realy cheap and come in handy to have it on the bike all the time the ammount of near miss or idiots in cars I have had would have loved to catch it on film

I bought a cheap action cam(£50) last year, It broke the second time I used it.

2strokemx · Guru

Im gonna buy this, always wanted one but f*** the price the gopro's go for, probably get rid of it after i buy it anyway when i realise how depressingly slow i really am lol

One thing i dont like about the gopro's; everything seems allot smaller than in real life, like stupidly smaller, 100ft tabletops look like 40ft max on the gopro, probably the same as all of them

Calum122 · Guru

That's just the way it is. Unless you have sophisticated cameras.

The GoPro isn't that expensive their base model goes for £160 new and it includes wifi which is really handy.

2strokemx · Guru

Too much, £100's pushing it for me, plus thats for the bad quality gopro, prob not any better than this one

Search ebay for Mobius camera. Very good quality and quite a bit cheaper. Techmoan on youtube has a good review of it smile

now that looks realy cheap and nasty that looks like something you would buy on a tat market for £5

I have looked at many revies and videos of the sj4000 and tbh it comes in just as good if not better than the gopro .

2strokemx · Guru

Good work mdk, thats settled it for me

karaikun · DTR Respected Member

Just look at the review or some test footage... Almost beats the Hero 3 Black edition.

MDK · DTR Legend

looks wise I still like the look build and style of the sj4000

also there are many reviews that show one to be better than the other in this video I would say the sj4000 comes out way on top image wise

What the mobius? I don't think so mate. Doesn't come close...

The black edition has some crazy specs on it. 1080P at 60FPS.

Don't film crew's use Go pro? Isn't the creator a billionaire?

Not saying the sj4000 isn't good, but I think it's a bit much saying it's better than a Go Pro

I don't have one

2strokemx · Guru

I was jokin boi ha, unless your gonna use it atleast once a week i dont think the gopro's worth it

sebamax2 · Guru

like MDK said. most people use their cameras as a protection so you dont get that "he was the one speeding" i didnt see you BS. You put on a go pro put big card in it you can record 9h if you have spare batteries but even on one battery you can be recording about 2h which is more than any of us ride dayily i would imagine on a normal day. and for the accidents sake i dont want all the footage that proves that the other driver was at foult to get erased when you hit the camera on the ground. in my opionion thats worth spending that litle bit extra for something that's going to last

sebamax2 · Guru

but even tho i do think the gopro is slightly overpriced. i bought my gopro3 silver for 100 quid so im not complaining :)

2strokemx · Guru

Aye thay exploit it considering the actual technology and components supplied, no-one would question them they just see the recordings and think that looks amazing and then you kinda expect them to be at that price, but im betting production cost is something silly

very true fact will be they are mass made in the same factory witht he same parts or along side like cameras that cost £5 .

once watches a program on designer goods a warehouse making sunglasses all on the same line/bench all made the same with same parts was primark next to oakley and dg etc .

much like most things cost around £5 to make and retail at a massive profit where you pay for the brand and name .

Liam12 · DTR Legend

I've got the gopro hero 3 black edition got it last year when it first came out cost me £360 since having it I've had the odd issue but that was down to me buying a cheap memory card but as for the amount of mounts and that you can get for a gopro you can't fault them! Plus head butting the earth pinned in 4th with the gopro on there wasn't even a mark on the casing!

2strokemx · Guru

But surely you can get the same mounts and case for this camera? Isit just me who thinks that kind of price for a gopro is feckin rediculous!?

no your not the only one who thinks the gopro price is plain stupid .

as for the mounts the sj4000 you can buy loads that would also fit the gopro and I bet there much cheaper

I was also in search for a cheap action cam and i ordered this SJ4000. It should arrive this week and i will try to provide you with some (ultra)slow DT offroad footage :)

2strokemx · Guru

Yes mate, how much you pay? After a little search i found one £60 free delivery 1-2 days, but im waiting for a response as i asked if it comes with any mount equipment to put straight on my helmet, does yours?

tennu123 · DTR Member

I paid £65 for it (includes shipping to Estonia), but if you are willing to buy it from china, you can get it for £55.19 from banggood.com(with cupon BGdeal) + taxes if needed.

Edit: Oh it was actually £65 + shipping for me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400714160095
