Welcome back everybody!! This time I am reviewing a 4K Video camera / camcorder from ZNIARAKL. Watch the video to see my thoughts. Purchase it on Amazon at: www.amazon.com...
Well this must be the best video I've seen on low priced Chinese 4K cameras. For two main reasons. 1. You didn't take us on a anti cheap Chinese camera rant. 2. Plus you actually held the camera steady so we could see for our selves.
This video is so helpful I can’t thank you enough! I was going to buy this product but I dislike the jumping of the camera when you zoom in and out since I’m using this for filmmaking. Thank you for the review this video is amazing and so helpful!
Thanks for the review. I have a similar one. These are by no means perfect, but for someone like me, who will eventually be filming from multiple angles, and therefore I will need several for a lot of my static videos (using the remote to control them), it's not too bad and will keep the cost of filming down.
@@padremerryn666 the focus is usually fixed on camcorders like this. They usually work best from 1 metre to infinity. The minimum focal distance is usually around 1 metre. Anything closer and everything will be blurred. Hope this information helps.
Great Video, Being a complete newby having just purchased a similar camcorder from Amazon, and just taken it out of the box, I found your video very helpful for a 74 year old. Thanks 🐝🐝
I have a similar camcorder and I am very happy with it bro, I do have my other DSLR Canon and Sony cameras as well as my Powershot Canon cameras, but I do love this little camera if you know how to handle it and they are very useful, don't knock them down, the only issue I have with it, is when you zoom in and out it tends to get a little jerky and choppy. Other than that, I am very impressed with the image quality and video quality as well, I use it a lot, and I use my smartphones occasionally. I have compared the image quality with my smartphones and my other cameras quite frankly it's not all that different in some modes and tests. It's all down to filming light conditions and settings. For Smartphones, you can use them for very short videos, but for long streams or videos, you will definitely need one of these if you can't afford the other big cameras. Incidentally, you have a very nice face, you look and sound genuine. Thanks for the video bro.
I've used video cameras for years. That cameras video looks like something that you'd get with an average security camera. To me a labeled 4k toy in a McDonald's happy meal. Only good for maybe set up as a security camera.
I'm seriously considering getting a Digital Video Camera to start making UA-cam Videos for My UA-cam Channel. The main thing that I don't like about this Digital Video Camera that you've tested was that when one starts either zooming in or out, the video tends to 'jerk jump in and out' (a term that I'd use). It doesn't have a smooth in or out flow. That's a major downside that would not spending the money for it. I'd rather spend money getting a "Canon" Digital Video Camera.
For pictures usually a camera uses all of the megapixels while for video it uses way less. Each and every single camera does this, regardless of the brand.
In plain terms it means this. The camera takes photo's at a maxiumum of 13 Megapixels, it will then digitally upscale this image (called interpolation) to 48 Megapixels. When you upscale an image, you are essentially adding new information to the image that was not present in the original. This can be useful in certain situations, such as when you want to print an image at a larger size or display it on a higher resolution screen. However, upscaling can and does result in loss of image quality.
Is there a way I can add a different microphone on it because I have one that clips on to my shirt. Because I was going to film myself a music video because I been trying to get good at rapping.
I got this camcorder for $119 on Amazon prime day. I mainly want it for a separate video Angel while going live on UA-cam. I’ll use my phone to do the main recording but I th oh get it would be cool to still have a camera on me so I can switch back and forth. (Without having to remove my phone from the tripod and attach it to a different tripod. So the video this one took seems ok. I’m trying to get mine to reheated the sd card. So far it keeps saying it’s not detected. I’ll try a different card if I can find it.
What is the max size of the sd card it will hold? Is there a limit to the length of a 4K video? Also does it have an option for a timestamp on the video? Can you record while plugged into external power?
OK. Right off I'm a dummy. Please advise on the procedure of installing the lens hood. I got one piece to screw into the lens mount , but that is a far as I got. . It looks like a simple procedure, but simple procedures always throw me for a loop. Is there somwhere a video like Lens Hoods For Dummies ? 🤔
This Videocam is a POS, the resolution is horrible. Its not 4k, not even close to 1080 resolution. From experience I tell you its not worth your money. Any cell phone is better, I am taking mine back to walmart for a refund.
Really? I'm about to buy one. Do you have one of this ma'am/sir? Can you send me a photo/video sample? I really need help on whether to buy this or not😢
@codeincloud5583 don't buy it, it's a POS. I don't have videos, because again it's a POS. The videocam is somewhere around the house collecting dust. Because they don't answer in the POS Chinese company for a refund.
Just buy a Nikon D3300. That'll shoot 1080p60 for 30 minutes at a time, won't cost much more, gives the option of interchangeable lenses, and will be worth something if you want to flip it later.
So use a usb? or the usb port in the computre, also when doing it, it does not work? Should i charge the battery itself intead of the camera@@padremerryn666
Everything that is technical in nature is made in either The People's Republic of China or in Taiwan (and that goes for 90 % of our biotics and 100% of our penicillin). That's why my friend this country has sliced i's own throat for profit. WE will be in deep sh*t if we get into a war with China over Taiwan (90 % of the circuit boards come from Taiwan , the other 10% comes from China.) Most Americans have no clue as to the "real & present" danger this country has placed itself in.
dude , WTF ? you dont answer questions in the comments ? im not buying this camera because there's no answers for many like minded questions people are asking below . why do a review man ? shame
It is a very basic product. You would be better off with most any modern cell phone to be honest. I know my reply took 4 days, but that doesn't seem too long. UA-cam has a funny way of not letting me know when there are new comment notifications. What a shame! lol
The downside for iPhones is they tend to overheat a lot, in live situations, in warm weather, and in long videos, not to mention the fast drainage of the batteries. With this, you can set it up and let it run for hours, with few spare batteries or a power lead. I have tried iPhones, Samsung, and other phones, I have tried cheap cameras such as this one, I have tried DSLR expensive cameras, I have tried powershot cameras, and I even tried old Hi8 Sony camcorders which I am still using and I can make amazing videos with it. If you know how to use something you can get much out of it. Every device can be useful in a particular situation.

Unfortunately it does not
Nice! Do u get to keep all the items you review KJAO?

What do you recommend with auto focus and digital zoom?
awesome shirt
Dang it's bright at night in Cali..
good review. despite the cons I do like it starting out. Thanks king !
"so even tho its a 48 megapixel camera it only has a 13 megapixel imagine sensor." Can you explain that to me?

Thank you very
Much for this, it's been very helpful.
I know this says for vlogging but is it good for music videos and other content?
Any idea how to clear the information on the screen . It appears when I stream with it. Cannot figure out how to clear it off
I'm honestly not sure how to get rid of it for streaming purposes. I've since given the camera away so I don't have it anymore to check.
this review was very helpful! thank you!
Is there a way I can add a different microphone on it because I have one that clips on to my shirt. Because I was going to film myself a music video because I been trying to get good at rapping.
Id get this to replace the brick i use to put behind my car tire when im working on it
So why do you have to format a digital card?
You probably do not need to do that step unless you want to wipe the contents of the card.
@@AndyOkun Thanks:)
how can you make this have hours video recording to do one video?

Amazing review, thanks. I want some of this camera for record video of rock bands friends for a very low price, i think is perfect. Thanks.
Does this camera have flash? I see it in the front but how do you turn it on?
thank you for the review, any idea why my mic records so low, no matter what settings I try the volume is low on the camera and on my PC
I am not really sure. Unfortunately I have no way to test and troubleshoot this anymore. I no longer have the camera.
Is your camera down? Did it last for more than a month? @@AndyOkun
What is the max size of the sd card it will hold? Is there a limit to the length of a 4K video?
Also does it have an option for a timestamp on the video?
Can you record while plugged into external power?
What year was this camcorder released?
How can I set the camcorder to record in mp4 format and not mov format it now records in?
Trying to figure out the same thing!
What camera are you using to capture this video?
I was using the Panasonic Lumix FZ300.
@@AndyOkun thank you 😊
I have by this Camera but my questione is, why her voice come out the same with our without microphone??
Haii. What can i do. My camera dont finds the Focus. Much greetings, Jacky
Hey I have the same camcorder, where can I get spare batteries like the one you have for your camcorder? Preferably someplace that isn't expensive.
Thank you

How do I eject the SD card?
I had to push down on it quickly, then it pops up.

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏
How is it in terms of night vision???
I would say that it's pretty decent but not the greatest.
Would this work to take a video and then grab stills from the video?
Can you transfer the video files to a laptop
yes
Yes you can.
Great Video💯💯💯💯
they have a 5k version now.. do a review on that one!
Did you test EIS? How does it work&
How can use the remote
great video
How do you charge it? Thank you!!
Test footage were very jerky. Not 30 fps at all. It’s a deal breaker.
My screen is upside down how do I fix it
It’s something what Temu would sell
What is the name of your Panasonic Camcorder?
The term watermark
What does that mean?
is there a recording limit ?
No night mode?
How long is the battery life??
Wondering this too
@@clay_freespirit 4500Mah about an hour and a half 1h30mins to be precise
That zoom is soo choppy!
You can buy a sub $200 smartphone and shoot about the similar quality of video, so I would just recommend using that

Ill buy it for a vintage like output
@lizardojohnpaul7459 its doesn't have a vintage output. It's a POS output. It's not near a vintage It's just deficient, it's dows not work well.
Get what you pay for 😅 $169

can the video zoom smoder
How long can it video for usually? I want to shoot a 30 minute video, but will it overheat?
Just buy a Nikon D3300. That'll shoot 1080p60 for 30 minutes at a time, won't cost much more, gives the option of interchangeable lenses, and will be worth something if you want to flip it later.
Please show us how to charge it!!! :)))
rtsp support?
where do you charge it
With the computer, via usb.
So use a usb? or the usb port in the computre, also when doing it, it does not work? Should i charge the battery itself intead of the camera@@padremerryn666
@@sagal5109 Camera has no battery charger, just the usb cable.
Could you use a better mic for it ??

How much?

Alguna solución para el enfoque? Tengo el mismo problema. Un saludo.
Can external lenses attach on it?
No
The mic is so poor that’s the only thing I don’t like
I like d camera
Someone trying to sell this on marketplace for $70 💀💀💀💀
Real 4K ?
It seems to me that if we take apart this cheap Chinese camera, we will find an old Nokia there.

Why are you watching the video then? You are giving unnecessary negativity to the video creator instead of the manufacturers. Get a life.
