Accsoon SeeMo - Turns an iPhone into a video monitor/recorder
yay! another video from you is always good!!
can this be connected via bluetooth to a helmet intercom? looks interesting for the price. Can this be used while charging?
Great Video thank you so much!!
What an excellent review, thanks for taking the time. Has made my research quick and easy
mine shows the accessory not supported message and its in the gun mode still there is a lot of noise in the background
Wow.. outside It looks like same as the apeman a100, but the results are terrible... thanks for the video, you save me to buy it
This low cost camera like many others has pixelation under low light conditions. The stability function was not reviewed for 4K as the camera cannot do it. It appears to struggle with the 1080P as seen by this review. Note the blurry and lessening of colour when stabilizing. It is due to low light conditions or bad stabilization.
i can have seen it wrong but it looks if it stutters while being used in this video as a dashcam. Can it work good with moving videos? slow scenes are most of the time good but moving objects? look to the trees when it works as a dashcam....
I saw a video of the second-generation Shellbox that when the smartphone heated up after some use, it caused some damage to the plastic. How do you rate the 3rd grade after some use? Did they solve the problem?
I have not had a problem with over heating as I trend to use the Shellbox only while snorkelling, so the water would keep it cool, however if the phone were left in the housing on a hot day and it was not being used underwater then I could see the potential for heat to build up, but I have not experienced that so far.
Can it be used for scuba diving?
Yes, as long as you use it within the safe diving limit of 15 meters.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh thanks
Excellent video, the camera definitely films better than some of the other cameras that Don't perform as well
How to turn on off the screen?
You cannot turn screen on and off while underwater. You must first ‘unlock’ the screen prior to putting into the Shellbox case.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Thank you for thr anser. I don't want turn on my phone all the time during unter water. So I canceled my order. Your answer was very good. Thank you.
nice, thanks
Really helpful video thank you!
Very good ❤
I use a Canon 10-18mm lens for my UA-cam videos and live streaming. Looking for something a bit better and since I am usually at the 14mm length on my Canon lens I'm looking at this one! Very helpful video
It is a nice lens if you don’t mind going all manual.
What happens if your phone times out and locks itself once it's in the case? I'm just curious. Or, can you purposely lock your phone to save battery while you're just walking around and unlock it from the remote?
Before you put the phone into the case, go to settings - display and brightness - and set ‘auto lock’ to never. Just set it back to what you normally use when finished with the housing.
Hello, greetings, how is the stabilization? Will it perform well for making videos on motorcycles by attaching it to the handlebars?
So, now after this review, what is the best overall low cost action camera that you have tested?
That is a hard question. If it's just based on price I would say the SURFOLA SF530 is my favorite (under $100) action camera considering the quality of the video and the included wireless microphone, although sadly I don't see this particular camera advertised anymore. In the under $200 range I'd say the Wolfang GA420 is a great choice due to it's video performance, dual screens, external mic , and waterproof without a housing. This latest review (XTU S6) I'd also recommend, although it is not waterproof without a housing.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Thanks! I ended up getting a GoPro 11 on Prime Day, but if I need a second camera for B roll....
@@donsmith2833 Get Osmo Action 4. And after testing you can choose wich one is for b-rolls..
Very informative and well made review! Thank you :)
Of late I have been watching several YT vids on various budget action cameras. So far this particular one seems to have the best combination of price, stability, audio quality, and video quality =. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking out my review. Yes, considering the price of this camera, it does a very respectable job capturing video and audio.
Hi i have just purchased one of these, i have a question if you could help with When recording if i double tap record button it changes from portrait to landscape! The first part of recording is fine correct orientation, but where i have double tapped record button to change to landscape the recording is on its side !! Is this normal!! I have re calibrated it !! Regards Paul
Great video, thank you! Following
Thanks for checking out my review video, and thanks for following.
ok I don't know what camera that is but it is not a GA300. The lens is wrong for a start and the GA300 says 4K on the front of it, also the GA300 does support an external mic and actually comes with one.
Yes it is a GA300. Wolfang actually made two versions of this particular model, the original and then an updated version that looks slightly different.
Thanks!!!
I accidentally came across your channel and I found it exceptionally educative. Apparently, made with extensive research and lot of effort. Lovely presentation. Thanks
Thanks very much for the kind words. Much appreciated.
On your other video you said it’s upscaled but the images look better
I bought it for my Samsung Galaxy A55, but the app is somehow not compatible with my phone 😪Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Wow it seems to be better than Akaso ... Thanks I've almost bought an Akaso Brave 7le but after watching this video I think that this one is the winner.
Nice
Super vidéo très complète, merci 🙏🏻
very good review thank you so much!
Hi can you please help...... When I click the wifi option, It just says waiting to connect then after about 15 to 20 secs it just kncoks off and shows camera screen again....We tried everything, I even got my 17yo to try, thinking she has got to be able to work it out, but still nothing,,,,,What are We doing wrong that it will not work??? We are doing extended travel in 2 weeks and the wifi option would be very useful.....I actually love your tutorial, def best one as you explain all very well......also how do we take the door off without breaking the casement......again, we tried a few things and nothing
Not sure what the issue is, but let me go through the process step -by-step that works for me: Power on camera, click the wifi option ...now go to your smartphone, go to settings, go to wifi...it should show available networks. The one you are looking for is called ActionCam_27CB53...tap on it and it should connect. The camera should now say "Wi-Fi Connection Ready!" Now open the iSmart DV2 app on your phone and you should see a prompt for "add a new camera", click it and then click the page that says "Wi-Fi Connect", and the camera should now be connected. Hope that works for you. - Wayne
is it upscaled 4k or true
I do not know the official processor used in this camera, but I’m assuming a camera at this price point only uses software to upscale the video to 4K.
I am going to ask a similar thing, which lower cost (non-DJI, non-GoPro, non-Insta) camera has the best EIS you have tested? I am a mountain biker, so you can see that is important. AND OR have to see one that produces as Gyro data file that I can import into GyroFlow to stabilize? Thanks!
I am currently testing a XTU S6 action camera. It sells for about $130 USD, and it has multiple levels of stabilization … Normal, Super and Gyro Data that can be imported into GyroFlow.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Cool...but only 4K 30fps :(
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Of the ones you have tested, which does have the best EIS?
Hello, thanks for the nice review, but dis yoy edited the video colors or it’s the original from the camera?
No color correction - all colors are original as recorded by the action camera.
You've reviewed a lot of action cameras and I've enjoyed your content. Gonna put you on the spot here. In Your opinion what's The best overall action camera new or old under 100 bucks. Best overall bang for your buck? Appreciate your time.
Currently, my favourite pick for an action camera under $100 would have to be the SURFOLA SF530. The video performance is very good ( not as crisp as a GoPro, but quite useable ) The dual view screens are great for framing yourself in the shot, but most important, I was really impressed with the audio quality on this camera, because most of these low priced action cameras record horrible sound.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Although I am not the person who asked you for advice, thank you! I ordered it for myself! :D
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh how do you think it would do stationary for fishing or from a blind at about 20 yards?
@@Gr8tLakesHuntnFish with the underwater housing this camera would be great to use in a boat or underwater on a fishing trip. From a blind at 20 meters, not so good, because with the wide-angle lens any ducks or waterfoul would just be a tiny spec in the frame.
@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Thanks much. Does it work good on your kayak?
I have s24 Ultra and it didn't work
Massive difference to video quality to the GA300 video
Was that on the 4k setting not the 1080p? Really didn't look clear wonder if it's due to the 60fps? For the price of it, it's worth it for alot events but I wouldn't call it an action cam with the poor EIS on it even when you were driving it was abit pixilated but I can see alot use for it also
Yes, the 4K is not that good on this camera, especially when boosted to 60fps where everything begins to look soft. No doubt there is a lot of software interpolation going on here and not true 4K-60, as is the case with a lot of these 'low-priced' action cameras. Personally I prefer the 1080-30 or 2.7K-30 video myself for best quality.
This is hands down the most helpful video on the GA300. Thank you for helping me and also the folks in the comments section. I've just picked one up for £65 to try as an moto vlog camera. It's not the right time for me to spend a lot of money as I don't know if I'll be disciplined to vlog on an ongoing basis.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. I hope your new camera works out for you.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh The Amazon link to the Camera says “no featured offers.”
mine stopped working after almost exactly one year after purchase, so warranty expired. fortunately, hohem support offered free repair on their shenzhen factory
I know many of those places! Not far from me! I think I will be ordering this camera.
It is a good performing camera. I’m very happy with mine.
Very good review your the first i have seen mounting it on a bicycle im going to try on motorbike with automatic pan 360
Yes, works great on the bicycle…BUT, I suggest a strong mount made out of aluminum or steel. The first time I tried it with a basic plastic mount it snapped off.
did it worked on you motorbike?
Hi,is the remote only compatible with the camera app witu it? Or can you use the remote for the phones own camera app?thanks.
Thank you...
At what frame rate did you film the 14mm footage ? It looks like 60fps.
All that footage was recorded and edited at 30 frames per second.
At last i found a man who know how to use the shellbox properly🔥🔥🔥
Thanks. Yes, this is a great low-cost solution to protect your smartphone in or on the water.
It was a good review. I ordered after this video. Price performance product
Thanks. I hope you are happy with your purchase. It’s a very good little camera considering the low price.
Great and very informative video, you answered all my questions 👍
Thanks for checking out my video. I’m glad you found it useful.
