    One novel use for low framerate 4k is if you wanted to use sped up footage in high quality.

    @Mike3MW 8 років тому +8

    Just got one of these, and actually (with the latest firmware) it can do 4K@25 FPS and 2.7K@30.
    Still I find the 1080p@60 quality best, in particular for the quality/space usage and battery use.

    • @justice873
      @justice873 7 років тому

      Hows 2.7K 30 frames for stable shots?
      Thx

    • @JohnnyBeFilms
      @JohnnyBeFilms 7 років тому

      But the 2.7k image quality is better than 1080p?

    I just used the eken H9 to film a scuba diving video, and honestly I'm quite pleased with it :) I posted it on my channel. You can see how the camera is better at looking at things when the object is nearer underwater. The water was quite silty, so the camera didn't have enough light reaching the lens and made the water either super blue or super green, and not as clear as in real life. But still, I loved it, and it came with sooo many different mounts that can all be combined. Super happy, and its quality is amazing outside of the water!

      ***** :-) I currently use a mini-tripod stick, I had a selfie stick but it was took long, you couldn't carry it around in your pocket... + people would stare at me...
      I am satisfied with the mini-tripod (it cost about 60-70yuan on taobao) but it has no stabilization... I think stabilization can be very useful.
      Take care!

    Thanks for a honest no non sense review and time to do it, just wondering what it would cost to up grade the battery as you did. Since the up grade cost of battery may justify buying a more expensive camera right off than up grading this one.
    Wish you would of mentioned your thoughts on the wifi function but I realize that may have made the video too long.

    Hi , Thanks for the great info.
    Do you know why we are only able to take 2 segment of film at a time on this camera or is it that all of them are so.
    I recorded, stopped recorded again 4 times without downloading the recordings and it looks like it only keeps the 2 last recording.
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Another issue is once I arrived home and tried to view my video it wouldn't "wake up" I had to remove the battery and restart it. Have you had any of these issues or is just my camera?

    My biggest issue with this camera (I own one plus a GoPro 3) is the fact the shots are over-sharpened and over-contrasted. But for the price, do I have a right to complain? No, not really. The other issue I hit is a dead pixel line down the screen on the back - this happened within 2 days of using it.

    +Pevly I too bought this camera and I received it 10 to 12 days back. The battery I got along with the camera was a 900 mAh capacity and not a 1050 mAh as mentioned on the box. regarding this I have already raised a ticket with Gearbest.com
    Problem is that when I start recording the battery heats up a lot and hence camera too and it feels as if the the camera will explode. The battery lasts for mere 15 mins for 1080p 60 fps video recording (though I have not used the camera till the battery got completely drained out, but I am saying this based on the battery percentage drop in 10 mins time). When I took the battery out of the camera, a strange smell came out of battery (as if the chemical inside the battery got heated and giving out that smell).
    Feeling very risky to use it.
    Did you face any such problem? Please help me.

    • @Sjcamguides1
      @Sjcamguides1  8 років тому

      +PG's Each and every action camera heats. But the battery smell and recording time sound like you got a faulty battery. Does this happen when you attach it to a PC or power bank?

    • @pgschannel8589
      @pgschannel8589 8 років тому

      ***** The battery and camera heats while charging as well, Twice I have charged the battery. After that I haven't charged it since I am a bit scared that something might happen. The battery which I got is the one like SJCAM but without a logo of SJCAM. I think its a duplicate battery.
      Now waiting for a reply from Gearbest.com.
      Thanks for your help *****.

    Is this camera has a limitation in video recording? or can be recorded
    continuously for example 50 minutes. Because on my SJ6000 have a limit
    on the 5, 10, and 25 min. (I have to choose in the menu) and then stops
    the video and starts with a new one. I dont like this.
    Thank you
