It's very important that we know the Audio/Microphone quality of the camera you are reviewing because some of these pickup audio horribly with poor microphones and won't pick up verbal threats.
@Jess Patel Hi Jess. I demonstrate the audio quality of the Boblov M5 at the 11:44 mark and at the 13:34 mark. In hindsight I could have shown that more in other settings like I did in the N9 video.

Hi Gary, it looks like the battery size is larger and 2k resolution on the m5. The kj21 has an external memory slot. Plus the m5 has the dash cam mount. If money is tight then the KJ21 would do well. It depends on if those features are worth it for your needs. Russ
There should be a setting for stealth mode so you don't easily see it is recording and there is a button volume control as well in the menu. Thank you for asking! I have mine muted for sure. Russ
I think maybe 50 feet or more? Most the time we would be recording within 20 feet which is great. The picture is clearest if you are not moving as there is no video stabilization. Russ
No sorry it is internal memory only. I use my computer to download the video. I am still so happy with the M5. It is reliable all day. Thank you for asking about it! Russ
You have to use one of the clips....the tiny one seemed fragile to me so I am happy using the shoulder strap claw thing...I tuck it in my waist. Start out with the tiny clip and see how strong it is on your clothing. Russ.

@@TheRussRyde . In 2008 I was arrested for two counts of assault and domestic violence when two drug crazed teenagers came in and attacked me. I was arrested several times since all charges were dismissed without the jury trial I asked for. In 2013 Franklin county sheriffs took my home and gave it to my attackers. Video of those events would be worth a hundred pounds in gold to me now. Up in the millions of dollars range. Without it I am nothing but lowlife criminal scum.
I’m sorry to hear that how terrible! It is sad when there are lasting consequences from things we were involved in. It’s good to think of ways to protect yourself now and in the future.
Hello. Thank you for the video. I have the Boblov M5 and during dash cam mode, while trying to turn on the record button I also pressed another button accidently, not sure which one and an exclamation symbol in a yellow triangle appeared at top of screened, I quickly stopped recording, now I cant delete that file from the phone cause its a "protected file", even using my pass code. Is there a way to delete it?
Hi Mr. Wonderful, try connecting it to your computer and delete it that way. I would have to look in the manual and learn how to do it so this might be faster. Russ
@@TheRussRyde I tried that earlier and it didn't work. But after I read your reply, I went back again and connected to computer and besides Video and Photo options and a few more, there is a IMP option and there it was!! So I was able to delete it. Thank you for your help and response!

저는 "DJI Osmo"를 사용하고 그 다음에는 "Boblov M5", 그리고 "Vidcastive"를 사용합니다. 저는 낮에는 화질을 위해 Osmo를 사용합니다. 나는 편의성, 견고함, 야간 투시를 위해 M5를 사용합니다. 나는 Osmo와 M5가 있기 때문에 Vidcastive를 마지막으로 사용합니다. 내 아들은 내 Boblov N9를 빌리고 있거나 나도 그것을 사용할 것입니다. 물어봐주셔서 감사합니다! 러스
So others don't need to use Google Translate Glenn asked if I use the Vidcastive or other cameras. Here's my reply. I use my "DJI Osmo" and next the "Boblov M5" and then the "Vidcastive". I use the Osmo in the daytime for video quality. I use the M5 for ease, ruggedness and nightvision. I use the Vidcastive last only because I have the Osmo and M5. My son is borrowing my Boblov N9 or I would use that too. Thank you for asking! Russ
I would say most likely not...there is no image stabilization. If you use the shoulder mount like use in the video or use the magnetic mount then I don't think it will fall off when you run. If you use the tiny clip to connect it to your body then I think it will definitely fall off. The nightvision on the camera would be nice for indoors dark environment. A chest mount GoPro Or DJI Osmo would be perfect but they don't do well in low light. That is the challenge! Russ
@@hectorpg1181 I’ve been using it a lot and I won’t say that I don’t notice it but it doesn’t get in the way and how I mount it is rugged. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Check out my BOBLOV N9 and Vidcastive videos too….those are smaller. Russ

@@GraceFaith-ki6kp I am not familiar with a high end body camera. The lower priced ones don’t tend to allow easy video editing as the audio codec is unique. You may explore action cameras though like go pro etc or look for hand held vlog cameras. Russ
Hi Ben, it looks pretty recent. On Boblov.com I do see this camera too "BOBLOV HD66-02/D7". The others look familiar. Thank you for asking! Check out my videos on the Boblov N9 too....it's smaller but night vision isn't as good as the M5. Have a great weekend, Russ
@@TheRussRyde Thank you Russ for your reply. I appreciate it. I am a security guard and looking for a good body cam and it has been a major challenge to find one that I really like. Ideally, I want a body cam with 4K 30FPS, EIS, great night vision, removable battery and SD Card. I wish GoPro would make one for law enforcement. They do have the technology. I contacted them this week, but they only specialize in Action Cameras. May be down the road they make one geared towards first responders.
@@bens2603 My pleasure! Yes if the GoPro or Osmo had night vision it would be so great. What about using one of those for daytime with a snappro magnetic mount and the M5 at night?
I don't care if adults wear their seat belt. In my state they get the ticket even if they are passengers. There is also a law that allows passengers of taxis to not have to wear them and I think that extends to Rideshare.
Hi John, that is an interesting dilemma. Thank you for providing that insightful info. I don’t know if drivers are protected against getting sued by the passenger or the passengers family in case of injury or fatality? If that’s not the case in your state then that’s good. Good point about the taxis. There’s no way I would take the chance personally though. If nothing else the unbelted passenger is a projectile headed my way and I don’t want to die. Something to think about. Russ
@@TheRussRyde I do have max insurance coverage, extra rideshare insurance, and a $2 million umbrella policy. This is on top of Uber and lyfts high deductible insurance. I don't let kids in without a car seat. I do have 2 mifold booster seats that work for kids that aren't infants. They fit in my glove compartment. I also don't let more people ride than I have seat belts. I just pick my battles and probably have a survivorship bias after doing 10k+ rides without an accident. Humans do become deadly projectiles when they aren't buckled. I am probably taking an unnecessary risk by not enforcing seat belts.
@@johnknightiii1351 You have covered yourself well John! Those are impressive rideshare numbers. Dare I assume that you also utilize a good dash cam with excellent night vision for the interior of your car? That reminds me, I made a couple of skit videos about unaccompanied minors you might enjoy and appreciate. Russ
@@TheRussRyde I have a viofo A119 mini that records the rear of my car and a viofo T130 to record the front and inside. I'm also using the rear cam from the T130 to record the right side of my vehicle where most passengers enter and I can adjust the interior camera to cover the driver side if I get pulled over or deliver on that side.
Why does this cam seemingly witch from color to black and white at night? I’ve notice this with other branded cams as well. Might be some simple explanation, and if it is, I’m totally ignorant of it. Thanks!
It is likely the night vision clicking on and off as the light changes. I prefer to leave mine set to auto (the default) so you capture footage well. Thank you for asking about this! I discovered it by accident when I heard clicking all the time in my car and wondered what the noise was.
Nice video ! Could you let me know if the audio quality is good ? Can we hook up a external microphone ? Does it have any noise reduction settings and image stabilisation ? any info is highly appreciated it mate
Thank you Millionaire Mindset! There is no external audio. Here is a link to the camera features. boblov.com/collections/body-camera/products/boblov-m5-police-body-camera-gps-enabled-1440p-body-mounted-cam-64g-128g-body-cam-built-in-4200mah-battery-ip67-waterproof-night-vision-law-enforcement-with-car-suction-mount. Also, check out the variety of video clips in my video where I demonstrate the difference in image stablization by holding it, using it as a dash cam and on my body.

I'm uploading a video on body cameras today too oddly enough! I recently got physically assaulted flying and was pretty intense not on a fun way. I think these are going to be mandatory for flying especially when remote ID hits later in September. Watch mine too maybe can learn some stuff too thanks for talking about them. 🤙🏾🚨
i need a body camera that picks up conversations i have with people clear sounding. any body cameras can do that? does this one do it? to me its important because i need way to collect evidence on audio discussions.
Yes both the BOBLOV M5 and N9 pick up audio conversations well. I would think their newer cameras also do too. I hope this helps you in your decision! Russ
Sir 🙏🏼Big Pardon ,I have a question,I try to Connect the Boblov bodyCam to my Computer to deleted protected Video withUSB , but In my Computer didn’t Show the Boblov, would you please Let me know 🙏🏼Thank You🙏🏼
That I can’t help you with. I don’t have an issue with mine connecting. Maybe pay attention if your antivirus software asks you for permission to let it connect?
The best review I found so far. A few questions: Can you attach a link for an external mic? How does that work? I carried a Muifi body cam for a couple of years, loved it, easy to use, but I think I will try this one out since the Mufi was run over. Is it easy to set up the time and date stamp? Were you ever able to remove Russ20? Did you get a chance to try motion detection? My understanding is this is not wi-fi, I would like to do process serving live on either youtube or FB, are you familiar with how to do this and do you think this M5 has the ability to get that done? Is there even a better body came by Boblov that you would recommend? I am open. The last question, I noticed there are a couple magnets in the Boblov 'bundle' package but what the heck is the difference. My feed back is why don't you were the body cam lower and/or mid-chest. If you be assaulted i.e. a person jumping from the back seat of your vehicle or behind the truck or a bush, I don't think your camera would have caught it.
Hi Tim, thank you for the kind words! Yes I was able to easily change it to Russ23 now. Also setting up the date and time is easy. There is no external audio capability. Russ
I also did a review on the BOBLOV N9 as well. There is a follow up video 10 videos after this one. Boblov N9 Body Camera Review ua-cam.com/video/2hflCa3BULw/v-deo.html
@@timcentralpointinvestigati6683 Oh it is a battery powered recorder so I can make UA-cam videos easier. I was testing the video quality at night to see how the IR worked. I’m sorry for the confusion. It’s too hard to convert the video and audio from the camera so I can edit it on FinalCut Pro.
@@TheRussRyde I understand now. when I get a moment and find a video from my Mufi would love to compare it, it's been a while since I have had one. All the dash cams appear to be nearly the same manufacturer, there is a lot of crap out there. So hard to determine what is good and not. At least when you make a video, you use common sense of actually using the body cam for a purpose and showing video, etc. Are you saying that Bovlov uses KODAK and it will not play any audio on the computer i.e. for youtube but only external playback on the body cam itself. If that is true, that is a mic drop no for me. (also I edited my first reply if you happen to go back and take a look if there is any answers you know) sorry for the many questions and back and forth.
Oh no! Looks like the seller will need to send you a new one. Once you get one then you can enjoy going through the video and trying it out. Robert, let me know what you think of it once you do get another one. Russ
Yes definitely. It’s just a video file like any other camera. I have an OWC USB-C travel dock and I connect the camera to it with a USB A to USB mini cable. I hope this helps! Russ
I am having some trouble. On my Mac, the videos from the bablov m5 will play on Elmedia with sound, but not on Quicktime or Final Cut Pro. I can't edit the videos because they have no sound. Help!!!
Yes, that is frustrating for sure! I was able to figure out how to export the Boblov camera footage into a format that Final Cut Pro can recognize. It's the .m2ts format. According to Wikipedia it is the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS) format. You'll need to use a separate video converter program first though. Russ
Every clip said "external audio" or "silent on purpose." I think it's a little crazy that you never demonstrated the built in audio. Don't you think that's pretty important?
Hi Greg, thank you for asking about that. In those segments I was focusing on the video for a specific reason. I do show the audio working elsewhere in the video. From what I recall check out the video description too as it discusses audio. I hope this is helpful for you! I still love this body camera and use it at night or when I didn’t feel like using my Osmo. Russ
(I demonstrate the audio quality of the Boblov M5 at the 11:44 mark and at the 13:34 mark. In hindsight, I could have shown that more in other settings like I did in the N9 video. I hope that doesn't deter you from considering purchasing the M5).
This should have WIFI OR some sort of Stabilization for it's size, and price in 2023.. If it had either I would go ahead and try it. The F2 came close but no motion, lacks on some features this has like Motion detection, Durability, Field of view.
Thank you for asking, yes, you push that button on the front and there is also another button you can push on the lower right side of the camera. Russ.
Yes . For the price point that’s as good as it gets. So far the GoPro/IPhone and the like don’t have night vision. That’s another big plus for the BOBLOV cameras for food delivery at night. Thank you for sharing your observations! Russ
Hello Sgt. George Ishaq! I’m so happy to hear from you and for subscribing. What did you think about the M5 camera review? How are you looking to use a body camera? Have a great rest of your weekend, Russ
This wont protect you from the bad guys lol but ironically protect your God given right to self defense from the government who will try to make you look like a criminal. Long live the truth.
It just is way too jerky on playback. I get dizzy after 10 seconds, and as you walk with the camera it is bouncing wildly all over. That's horrible. Unwatchable, snd I call that unusable.
Hi William, I’m sorry you didn’t like the video. I should clarify, the camera sound is great. The challenge was the manipulation required for me to edit the video and sound to put it on UA-cam. You can easily copy the footage from the camera and anyone can play it back using a variety of media players. I made a couple of videos reviewing the BOBLOV N9 camera and tried to applied the lessons that I learned from making those videos when I made this one on the M5. If you like check them out too. What are you going to use your bodycam for? Russ
Hi Mark, yes it is a very long video. I tried to be concise up front with the main topics and all the various footage is at the end for those who want to see it. How far did you get before it got too boring? Thank you, Russ
I am a woman and I have just bought one of these so I kan feel safer walking to the train station or at an isolated train station.Women are more vulnerable to male violene and harrassment. The more women have bodykams the more empowered we will be, weill be less vulnerable. If there is a kamera we kan get evidene. We women feel safer walking home et
Yes, the cameras are a great idea for anyone. If nothing else when people see the camera that should put them on their best behavior. Thank you for letting me know. I hope you enjoy your camera. Russ.
Hi Blue in Green. I see it on Amazon. Looks like it is newer and has USB-C. The other functions look similar. But the M5 has a much larger battery so that could be a big deal. Russ

What is the difference between this model and the model JK21
Hi Gary, it looks like the battery size is larger and 2k resolution on the m5. The kj21 has an external memory slot. Plus the m5 has the dash cam mount. If money is tight then the KJ21 would do well. It depends on if those features are worth it for your needs. Russ
have you tried the new ones?
@@chris12x1 No, but I’ll bet they are great. I am still happily using my M5. Russ
@@TheRussRyde good to know thanks
@@chris12x1 You are welcome Chris! If you get a new one let me know what you think.
How to silent it?
There should be a setting for stealth mode so you don't easily see it is recording and there is a button volume control as well in the menu. Thank you for asking! I have mine muted for sure. Russ
What’s the distance this thing will record at reasonable clarity? It looks like you got some solid distance during your hike.
I think maybe 50 feet or more? Most the time we would be recording within 20 feet which is great. The picture is clearest if you are not moving as there is no video stabilization. Russ
Can you clip it to a pocket?
Yes you can if you use the tinier clip that comes with the camera. Russ
Just make sure it is strong as the camera is hefty.
Is this possible to insert TF sd card ?
No sorry it is internal memory only. I use my computer to download the video. I am still so happy with the M5. It is reliable all day. Thank you for asking about it! Russ
How do u download to computer
@@sandrasandra3505 Hi Sandra, you connect the charging cable from the camera to your computer USB.
@@TheRussRyde thanks got it on computer but not volume
@@sandrasandra3505 It’s a codec issue. Use VLC media player and you will hear it ok.
How do you attach/mount it to a body without the magnet? I have it and cannot figure out.
You have to use one of the clips....the tiny one seemed fragile to me so I am happy using the shoulder strap claw thing...I tuck it in my waist. Start out with the tiny clip and see how strong it is on your clothing. Russ.
Were you able to use the smaller clip?
I love you!!! So sorry the customers that want free shht got you
Thank you Pegasus, I’m always wary now that I know it really does happen. I’ve been very happy and got into an easy routine of documenting all my drop offs since then. Russ

Thanks Russ@@TheRussRyde
Can I use that to prove I didn't hit Michael and Dillone?
Absolutely! You can even use it as a great dashcam should you choose to do so. Russ
@@TheRussRyde . So if I buy that cam they will give me a jury trial?
@@flyhouseoftruth470 You’ve lost me!
@@TheRussRyde . In 2008 I was arrested for two counts of assault and domestic violence when two drug crazed teenagers came in and attacked me. I was arrested several times since all charges were dismissed without the jury trial I asked for. In 2013 Franklin county sheriffs took my home and gave it to my attackers. Video of those events would be worth a hundred pounds in gold to me now. Up in the millions of dollars range. Without it I am nothing but lowlife criminal scum.
I’m sorry to hear that how terrible! It is sad when there are lasting consequences from things we were involved in. It’s good to think of ways to protect yourself now and in the future.
Awesome review
Thank you so much! I love mine still to this day. Russ
Hello. Thank you for the video. I have the Boblov M5 and during dash cam mode, while trying to turn on the record button I also pressed another button accidently, not sure which one and an exclamation symbol in a yellow triangle appeared at top of screened, I quickly stopped recording, now I cant delete that file from the phone cause its a "protected file", even using my pass code. Is there a way to delete it?
Hi Mr. Wonderful, try connecting it to your computer and delete it that way. I would have to look in the manual and learn how to do it so this might be faster. Russ

요새는 vidcastive 4k 제품과 이제품중 어떤걸 사용하시나요?
저는 "DJI Osmo"를 사용하고 그 다음에는 "Boblov M5", 그리고 "Vidcastive"를 사용합니다. 저는 낮에는 화질을 위해 Osmo를 사용합니다. 나는 편의성, 견고함, 야간 투시를 위해 M5를 사용합니다. 나는 Osmo와 M5가 있기 때문에 Vidcastive를 마지막으로 사용합니다. 내 아들은 내 Boblov N9를 빌리고 있거나 나도 그것을 사용할 것입니다. 물어봐주셔서 감사합니다! 러스
So others don't need to use Google Translate Glenn asked if I use the Vidcastive or other cameras. Here's my reply. I use my "DJI Osmo" and next the "Boblov M5" and then the "Vidcastive". I use the Osmo in the daytime for video quality. I use the M5 for ease, ruggedness and nightvision. I use the Vidcastive last only because I have the Osmo and M5. My son is borrowing my Boblov N9 or I would use that too. Thank you for asking! Russ
Nice review, Russ.
Thank you John!
How is the cam when you run? Do not worry that it fall on the ground? i need a cam i want to record when im playing Lasertag is this one good for it?
I would say most likely not...there is no image stabilization. If you use the shoulder mount like use in the video or use the magnetic mount then I don't think it will fall off when you run. If you use the tiny clip to connect it to your body then I think it will definitely fall off. The nightvision on the camera would be nice for indoors dark environment. A chest mount GoPro Or DJI Osmo would be perfect but they don't do well in low light. That is the challenge! Russ
@@TheRussRyde thanks for the good answer
It looks too big and heavy I wonder if there's another camera with recording stabilisation by a similar price
@@hectorpg1181 I’ve been using it a lot and I won’t say that I don’t notice it but it doesn’t get in the way and how I mount it is rugged. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Check out my BOBLOV N9 and Vidcastive videos too….those are smaller. Russ

Why is it black and white

@@TheRussRyde I'm looking for a body camera that I can do vlogging any suggestions on what I should buy?
@@GraceFaith-ki6kp I am not familiar with a high end body camera. The lower priced ones don’t tend to allow easy video editing as the audio codec is unique. You may explore action cameras though like go pro etc or look for hand held vlog cameras. Russ
@TheRussRyde Thanks Russ!
Is this the latest Boblov camera?
Hi Ben, it looks pretty recent. On Boblov.com I do see this camera too "BOBLOV HD66-02/D7". The others look familiar. Thank you for asking! Check out my videos on the Boblov N9 too....it's smaller but night vision isn't as good as the M5. Have a great weekend, Russ
@@TheRussRyde Thank you Russ for your reply. I appreciate it. I am a security guard and looking for a good body cam and it has been a major challenge to find one that I really like. Ideally, I want a body cam with 4K 30FPS, EIS, great night vision, removable battery and SD Card. I wish GoPro would make one for law enforcement. They do have the technology. I contacted them this week, but they only specialize in Action Cameras. May be down the road they make one geared towards first responders.
@@bens2603 My pleasure! Yes if the GoPro or Osmo had night vision it would be so great. What about using one of those for daytime with a snappro magnetic mount and the M5 at night?

Hi Alejandro it will loop and start recording over the previous footage. Russ
Anyone know if there's a way to adjust the brightness on the screen❓
Hey I just started Uber , doordash and grubhub. I work close to 8 hours a day mon-Saturday. Does the battery life last a full day?
Hi Mark, yes the battery will absolutely last a full day. I am very happy with it.
I don't care if adults wear their seat belt. In my state they get the ticket even if they are passengers. There is also a law that allows passengers of taxis to not have to wear them and I think that extends to Rideshare.
Hi John, that is an interesting dilemma. Thank you for providing that insightful info. I don’t know if drivers are protected against getting sued by the passenger or the passengers family in case of injury or fatality? If that’s not the case in your state then that’s good. Good point about the taxis. There’s no way I would take the chance personally though. If nothing else the unbelted passenger is a projectile headed my way and I don’t want to die. Something to think about. Russ
@@TheRussRyde I do have max insurance coverage, extra rideshare insurance, and a $2 million umbrella policy. This is on top of Uber and lyfts high deductible insurance. I don't let kids in without a car seat. I do have 2 mifold booster seats that work for kids that aren't infants. They fit in my glove compartment. I also don't let more people ride than I have seat belts. I just pick my battles and probably have a survivorship bias after doing 10k+ rides without an accident. Humans do become deadly projectiles when they aren't buckled. I am probably taking an unnecessary risk by not enforcing seat belts.
@@johnknightiii1351 You have covered yourself well John! Those are impressive rideshare numbers. Dare I assume that you also utilize a good dash cam with excellent night vision for the interior of your car? That reminds me, I made a couple of skit videos about unaccompanied minors you might enjoy and appreciate. Russ
@@TheRussRyde I have a viofo A119 mini that records the rear of my car and a viofo T130 to record the front and inside. I'm also using the rear cam from the T130 to record the right side of my vehicle where most passengers enter and I can adjust the interior camera to cover the driver side if I get pulled over or deliver on that side.

The ending 😂😂😂😂 but also scary 😮
Thank you Jay! 😀
Why does this cam seemingly witch from color to black and white at night? I’ve notice this with other branded cams as well. Might be some simple explanation, and if it is, I’m totally ignorant of it. Thanks!
It is likely the night vision clicking on and off as the light changes. I prefer to leave mine set to auto (the default) so you capture footage well. Thank you for asking about this! I discovered it by accident when I heard clicking all the time in my car and wondered what the noise was.
@@TheRussRyde Thank you, sir!

The best review I found so far. A few questions: Can you attach a link for an external mic? How does that work? I carried a Muifi body cam for a couple of years, loved it, easy to use, but I think I will try this one out since the Mufi was run over. Is it easy to set up the time and date stamp? Were you ever able to remove Russ20? Did you get a chance to try motion detection? My understanding is this is not wi-fi, I would like to do process serving live on either youtube or FB, are you familiar with how to do this and do you think this M5 has the ability to get that done? Is there even a better body came by Boblov that you would recommend? I am open. The last question, I noticed there are a couple magnets in the Boblov 'bundle' package but what the heck is the difference. My feed back is why don't you were the body cam lower and/or mid-chest. If you be assaulted i.e. a person jumping from the back seat of your vehicle or behind the truck or a bush, I don't think your camera would have caught it.
Hi Tim, thank you for the kind words! Yes I was able to easily change it to Russ23 now. Also setting up the date and time is easy. There is no external audio capability. Russ

@@TheRussRyde I thought you said in the video you were 30 feet away during the infrared time frame and you were using an external mic?
@@timcentralpointinvestigati6683 Oh it is a battery powered recorder so I can make UA-cam videos easier. I was testing the video quality at night to see how the IR worked. I’m sorry for the confusion. It’s too hard to convert the video and audio from the camera so I can edit it on FinalCut Pro.
@@TheRussRyde I understand now. when I get a moment and find a video from my Mufi would love to compare it, it's been a while since I have had one. All the dash cams appear to be nearly the same manufacturer, there is a lot of crap out there. So hard to determine what is good and not. At least when you make a video, you use common sense of actually using the body cam for a purpose and showing video, etc. Are you saying that Bovlov uses KODAK and it will not play any audio on the computer i.e. for youtube but only external playback on the body cam itself. If that is true, that is a mic drop no for me. (also I edited my first reply if you happen to go back and take a look if there is any answers you know) sorry for the many questions and back and forth.
New one won't turn on
Oh no! Looks like the seller will need to send you a new one. Once you get one then you can enjoy going through the video and trying it out. Robert, let me know what you think of it once you do get another one. Russ

Yes definitely. It’s just a video file like any other camera. I have an OWC USB-C travel dock and I connect the camera to it with a USB A to USB mini cable. I hope this helps! Russ
They really need to do something about how shaky these are. Integrating A cheap gimbal like the ordro is not that expensive
It would be a nice feature!
I have another question, is ok for night for this camera??
Yes, that’s the main reason I bought a body camera!
@@TheRussRyde,thank you 🙏🏼
I am having some trouble. On my Mac, the videos from the bablov m5 will play on Elmedia with sound, but not on Quicktime or Final Cut Pro. I can't edit the videos because they have no sound. Help!!!
Yes, that is frustrating for sure! I was able to figure out how to export the Boblov camera footage into a format that Final Cut Pro can recognize. It's the .m2ts format. According to Wikipedia it is the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS) format. You'll need to use a separate video converter program first though. Russ
Every clip said "external audio" or "silent on purpose." I think it's a little crazy that you never demonstrated the built in audio. Don't you think that's pretty important?
Hi Greg, thank you for asking about that. In those segments I was focusing on the video for a specific reason. I do show the audio working elsewhere in the video. From what I recall check out the video description too as it discusses audio. I hope this is helpful for you! I still love this body camera and use it at night or when I didn’t feel like using my Osmo. Russ
(I demonstrate the audio quality of the Boblov M5 at the 11:44 mark and at the 13:34 mark. In hindsight, I could have shown that more in other settings like I did in the N9 video. I hope that doesn't deter you from considering purchasing the M5).
Thanks so much…a real help !….U.K.
You are welcome Peter! I continue to enjoy using this camera as well as the BOBLOV N9 and they are great. Russ

Hi Roman, Камера действительно двигалась много! Russ
This should have WIFI OR some sort of Stabilization for it's size, and price in 2023.. If it had either I would go ahead and try it. The F2 came close but no motion, lacks on some features this has like Motion detection, Durability, Field of view.
Color night vision should also be a thing of any camera over $100 now too.
Hi Moto G, thank you for writing! Yes I wish they did have those features too. Russ
all you have to do to record is push the button on front
Thank you for asking, yes, you push that button on the front and there is also another button you can push on the lower right side of the camera. Russ.
Thats too bad the stabilization is awful 15:33 GoPro and iPhone spoiled me
Yes . For the price point that’s as good as it gets. So far the GoPro/IPhone and the like don’t have night vision. That’s another big plus for the BOBLOV cameras for food delivery at night. Thank you for sharing your observations! Russ

It just is way too jerky on playback. I get dizzy after 10 seconds, and as you walk with the camera it is bouncing wildly all over. That's horrible. Unwatchable, snd I call that unusable.
In that case I recommend a GoPro or DJI action camera. Keep in mind they don’t have night vision though. Thank you for sharing your feedback! Russ

Terrible review !! The emphasis on why a Chinese Codec (TRUST ??!!) must be downloaded for Sound. Evidence without sound is half-baked evidence !!!
Hi William, I’m sorry you didn’t like the video. I should clarify, the camera sound is great. The challenge was the manipulation required for me to edit the video and sound to put it on UA-cam. You can easily copy the footage from the camera and anyone can play it back using a variety of media players. I made a couple of videos reviewing the BOBLOV N9 camera and tried to applied the lessons that I learned from making those videos when I made this one on the M5. If you like check them out too. What are you going to use your bodycam for? Russ
Not worth 41.59 min. of my time who has the time
Hi Mark, yes it is a very long video. I tried to be concise up front with the main topics and all the various footage is at the end for those who want to see it. How far did you get before it got too boring? Thank you, Russ
