Hello I received my Firefly in April 2019 and today it stopped working, the battery is gone, I changed and no longer cares, and I use it for my videos, want to sell yours?have any action camera suggestions that have external microphone, thanks
@D.A.SøundzZz : Similar in quality but not size at all. The Hero 5 is bigger and different position of the lens as the 8SE is more like the older Hero 4 in size etc
The Firefly 8SE does not have EIS at 4K so a comparison is useless but the 4K image on the 8SE is much better, and if you add a gimbal then you have a winning combination.
There is a new 8SE firmware out and it comes in 2 versions. The U105 and a V105. I really don't know what the difference is and I'm afraid destroying my camera with the V version.
Hey Worth It, I ask ya have You used modded firmware made by nutsey... it really makes the picture and overall quality of video looking better and sharper with more details... and if so... what sd card have you used to work it properly... i got problems with stopping video recording and even lowering the quality and turning off a few things didn't helped me... if You haven't used it, can u check it and give us Your own review of it even if it's not official??
@@WORTHITORNOT I think it's making a really one step better camera from Firefly 8SE :-) but hope u can also check mod on different sd cards, lets say straight forward: on my SAMSUNG 128GB EVO PLUS it's stopping records - hope it's just a sd card non-compability or something - already tried changing formatting of a card, changing all possible options in different configurations, etc,... if it's just a sd problem, i would buy new one in seconds cause i like what that camera can give ya after the mod, if it's possible make a video of that compairing this videos before and after :-)
Yes its still a great camera and I really like it's color profile in its image. Regarding FOV, that's kind of up to you, do you like a wide field of view (170), or more narrow like a regular larger camera(90)?
Hope u can help me ..was wondering between the 8se vs the v50 elite. My priority is 1080p60 with eis and i also want 1080p120 for slowmotion The external mic on the 8se is very tempting but the fact it uses mini usb instead of micro usb is a bit of a concern since that port is rare these days and this is why the v50 elite comes into consideration
Would you recommend this action camera for vlogs using internal microphone? external microphone is really great but it's hard to use it when you are moving around.
dear, I make wedding films and I'd like use a actiom cam in my job. I can't pay for Gopro cam but I need a actiom cam with good imagem and excellent stabilization. Between SJCAM SJ8 PRO, SJ8 plus, Firefly 8SE and ThiEYE T5 Edge. Which is the two best options for me needs? I use 1080p
still waiting for mine unfortunately, since Gearbest still did not ship it. getting a bit fed up if i am honest, but ordering from China this is one of the things you have to deal with.. Reviews like yours made me order one, since imho for this price (120 USD shipped "express") and what i need it for i do not think you can find something better honestly. sure its not a GoPro Hero 7, but come on that cost like 4 times as much - is it really worth it?
Roland Lindner : Yeah ordering from China takes a little patience ( tests me some time) but for 1/4 of the price of the Hero 7 it’s definitely worth it as most people don’t use/need the capability of the Hero 7 in my opinion
Has yours been dispatched yet? I ordered mine over 2 weeks ago and Gearbest have pushed back the estimated dispatch time every day, not giving me much confidence in the purchase at all.
@@elb7032 yes mine was sent yesterday it seems. Gearbest usually isn't bad with this, might be related to the Sale and upcoming Spring Festival. Did take around 14 days and a few friendly reminders in form of a ticket.
Nice review bro.. nice video QUALITY and EIS too
Thanks for watching
Great video Andre. Thanks buddy, such a great wealth of information here. Oooh, so many good options! :)
Yes! Good quality! Thank you! Good Luck!
Thanks, you too!
I got this camera 3 weeks ago and love it and much cheaper than a gopro as a lot of us are on a tight budget.
The Future is now: It's still one of my top favorites excluding GoPro's. Glad you like it
Great content
looks like a good action camera, very nice image quality for 1080 especially handheld.
Drone on : it is a very good action camera

No I’m keeping mine, when you buy the 8SE it comes with an external microphone
@@WORTHITORNOT yes and I bought an extra in case it breaks.
Have you tried the 90 degree distortion less version of the 8se?
Akaso Brave 7 LE vs Firefly 8SE?
hello. do you think it is still worthy? or maybe any other better for same money? thanks
I still think the 8SE is a great camera even in 2020
@@WORTHITORNOT do you think that better value per dolar than sj8 pro for example?
@@javierfernandez4089 : Well you asked about the 8SE ! The SJ8 Pro is better
Hi, thank for your great review. I consider between firefly 8SE (98£) and Akaso V50 X (80£) in UK. Which one is better for a daily shoot? Thanks.
Firefly 8SE has better image quality
Very good video...
Is firefly 8se compatible with the gopro accessories?
Yes it is.
@D.A.SøundzZz : The 8SE is probably most comparable to the Hero 5 as they both offer EIS at 1080 but no EIS at 4K
@D.A.SøundzZz : Similar in quality but not size at all. The Hero 5 is bigger and different position of the lens as the 8SE is more like the older Hero 4 in size etc
can you please make a comparison over the v50x
The Firefly 8SE does not have EIS at 4K so a comparison is useless but the 4K image on the 8SE is much better, and if you add a gimbal then you have a winning combination.
How about now 2021 is still worth?
With a gimbal, Yes the 8SE is still worth it, great video quality and audio.
There is a new 8SE firmware out and it comes in 2 versions. The U105 and a V105. I really don't know what the difference is and I'm afraid destroying my camera with the V version.
Vapor Roger : just look at your current firmware, is it U or V and go from there
Thank you for the fast answer. Just updated to the U105. Still wonder what the V105 is.
@@Gaptoo There are 2 rev. of the Firefly 8SE, as Hawkeye support told me only minor components do change, so firmware does too.
Thanks @@zrobben

I have not used the modded firmware. I just stick with the latest firmware for the 8SE and I'm happy with it. I will check into it and report back.
@@WORTHITORNOT I think it's making a really one step better camera from Firefly 8SE :-) but hope u can also check mod on different sd cards, lets say straight forward: on my SAMSUNG 128GB EVO PLUS it's stopping records - hope it's just a sd card non-compability or something - already tried changing formatting of a card, changing all possible options in different configurations, etc,... if it's just a sd problem, i would buy new one in seconds cause i like what that camera can give ya after the mod, if it's possible make a video of that compairing this videos before and after :-)
Would you recommend it over the Go Pro 4 silver? I need to record my band rehearsals and concerts. Audio is important 😅
In 1080 I would say the GoPro still has better overall image/audio
WORTH IT OR NOT? Thank you
Nice, does it come with an external microphone too for that price? Would you recommend this for vlogging? The audio out of camera sounds good.
Ruffus Tibs when I bought mine, an external microphone did come with it.
Ruffus Tibs : As Dan said yes it does come an external microphone
It's been in my shopping cart for a while 😀😀😀😀 Is it still worth buying 2020? Should I purchase the 90 or 170 degree lens option?
Yes its still a great camera and I really like it's color profile in its image. Regarding FOV, that's kind of up to you, do you like a wide field of view (170), or more narrow like a regular larger camera(90)?
nice
The one you are using is 170 FOV or 90 FOV?
Brandon Lim : 170* with distortion correction on.
Maria Rodriguez : It gets rid of the fisheye effect and there is a setting for it in the menu
do you recommend this over the akaso v50x?
For overall image quality yes, but The V50X has better EIS.
@@WORTHITORNOT i have a gimbal so eis dosen't really work for me
Please compare between akaso v50x and firefly 8se, i guess firefly 8se is winner in audio but video i am uncertain.
Video quality and audio is better on the Firefly 8Se but no EIS at 4k but you can always use a gimbal if you shoot in that resolution.
@@WORTHITORNOT thank you!
Nice video, you can help: SJCAM SJ8 Pro vs Firefly 8SE which one to buy ? Thanks.
Lang Thang Xu My : SJ8 Pro if you want stabilized 4K
Hope u can help me ..was wondering between the 8se vs the v50 elite.
My priority is 1080p60 with eis and i also want 1080p120 for slowmotion
The external mic on the 8se is very tempting but the fact it uses mini usb instead of micro usb is a bit of a concern since that port is rare these days and this is why the v50 elite comes into consideration
In my opinion the 8SE is the way to go as it has much better 1080 image quality
Would you recommend this action camera for vlogs using internal microphone?
external microphone is really great but it's hard to use it when you are moving around.
Yes I would, it’s internal audio is very good in my opinion and I use this camera a LOT !
How do i know when it’s finished charging?
The front blue light turns off
WORTH IT OR NOT? Thank you.
Still waiting on the blender review :-), come on dude, get with my request already 😎
Hahaha, really a blender? I think my wife has one around here I can show you.
Still worth to buy in 2020 ?? My budget is only 120$..
Please help me... I need a good stabilization videos while riding bike.
Yes, still a great camera in 2020
