Hi there I came across your channel today after watching your Blueskysea B1w Vs. Xiaomi 70mai video and I just wanted to say after browsing your other videos I really like your style of filming/narration/editing and I particularly enjoyed your eye-opening Shenzhen videos, I can't believe they haven't received more views. I really hope you continue and that your subscriber count goes up and up! Keep up the good work!
I bought one of these action camera's but the 90° version. I have just modded its lens, it now see's IR and I am able to film using my IR lights in complete darkness. This is why I bought this particular camera. However I am waiting on the SJCAM 9 Strike to arrive as it offers live streaming and appears to be better than the Hawkeye Firefly.

What sd card did you use? I bought the 90 degree version. It's my first action camera :) I've been watching your reviews and others for over a year, before finally making a purchase. Glad I waited.

What happened to the gyro stabilization in my model 8se? Did they forget to put it in, it would take a miracle to get stable motion footage from this thing.
Will the battery of SJ4000 fit into S8E? I read that the battery model of SJ and 8SE are both S009R with just those on SJ's are slightly lower capacity

Eldhose Jacob Yes. It can do different FOV using digital zoom. I'm working on a vid that demonstrates the different FOVs at the moment. It should be online sometime this weekend.
Which do you think has better all-around video at 1080p/60 with EIS, the 8SE or the Gitup Git2/Git2P? Looked like the Gitup might have the edge as far as the image stabilization.
If you want to put it onto your handle bar there is a tripod screw on the bottom of the cam and a tripod screw to gopro mount to just put it on the handlebar mount.

Hi My intention to use it mainly in 1080p mode and need high bitrate with lot details to make post-processing on the video. Which one do you recommend from this three for that?

Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ is Lord! 170° is more like a standard action cam. The 90° is permanently locked at a less wide angle. For most people I'd say 170° is the better option.
Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ is Lord! Yes that's correct. 90° has almost no distortion. In order to achieve that you lose out on the wide angle. There is a distortion correction mode that helps the 170° but it's not perfect. The 90° would be better in some cases, maybe like on a drone for example, where the 170° might show too much on either side
YES, been waiting for this one. Think this will be my next camera I get while I wait for the Hero 6 to get slashed the way the 5s are. Only things I would have liked to see covered are the 780 at 240 fps in slow mo, and maybe how annoying it is that if you want a different FOV you have to by another camera. But good video! Great video from the budget camera. All the videos from Hawkeye are pretty much home movies.
Misquito73185 That's a great idea! I'll upload some more samples of the different resolutions this weekend. Anything else you'd like to see? Video quality between this one and the T5e will pretty similar, I think. I don't have the T5e with me so I can't directly compare. I think if you like that cam, then this one should be good too. Athough I don't think the 8SE is a huge update overall, the new features are nice to have. Make sure to get some spare batteries, as I don't think they are interchangeable between the T5e and the 8S/8SE.
Hm, honestly the 780 240FPS is the biggest thing to me cause I'm going to be filming things moving very fast. Underwater quality would be interesting as well. Other than that I got nothing else. Uh. Oh and which FOV did you get? Looks like the 170.
Hi dreki... Actually...i need a best cheap action cam for cycling and vloging... 6 months back ...my budget was 70 $ so i was going for firefly 7s but i cant buy ...now after watching your video....i definitely go for ff 8se.... But i have limited money 💰.... Is there any coupon for me ??? Or what is a difference between 90° or 180 ° ...which will i buy Or is there any camera under 120 $ better then firefly 8se Plz answer
Wait till 11.11 sale in a few days, I'm just doing a video on it because it's basically China black friday. I imagine quite a few good deals but I'm not sure yet 👍
SGT ROCK The only issue I had was with the touch occasionally not responding. Other than that I didn't notice any serious problems. Sorry if that was not made clear enough in the video.
Sgt.Rock sounds like a keyboard warrior, internet hero-wannabe type. This was a very positive review and it is saying the same as anyone else who reviewed this camera, that it's a darn good one.

The price and the feature set are really close to the 2018 go pro hero
What sd card did you use?

Glad I waited.
Yi 4K or Firefly 8SE?
Thank you for the detailed review with samples. Does the camera allow you to switch to PAL settings with 25 and 50fps?

This is truly a great camera for the price and without a doubt this one has the best audio quality out of all other action cams in the market.

name of the wifi app?
which one is better out of sj7 star and Firefly 8SE ?
abhinav bansal Audio is way better with the 8SE so that's the cam I'd go for.
It does have the same guts as the SJ7 Star but not the same premium look and feel. Which one performs better in your opinion?
Wildhog32 Better audio on the 8SE. I'd have to see them side by side to compare video.
Thanks
Can't tell the difference between the two, but I rather have a 8SE fall out of the sky then a SJ7.
FIREFLY 8SE 90° version or 170° version nice choice
Will the battery of SJ4000 fit into S8E? I read that the battery model of SJ and 8SE are both S009R with just those on SJ's are slightly lower capacity

This is 90° or 170° version?
the footage must be 170 FOV. too much image distortion!

Does this camera have different field of views to compensate for fish eye distortion?
Eldhose Jacob Yes. It can do different FOV using digital zoom. I'm working on a vid that demonstrates the different FOVs at the moment. It should be online sometime this weekend.
I just ordered the firefly 8se and realized it came with only 1 battery. Found 8s batteries for sale, but not 8se.
john1945xxxxxx 8s and 8se use the same battery
Which do you think has better all-around video at 1080p/60 with EIS, the 8SE or the Gitup Git2/Git2P? Looked like the Gitup might have the edge as far as the image stabilization.
WisGuy4 8SE is the clear winner imho.
Great review -as always! I wonder how the Firefly 8SE compares to the Akaso V50 Pro... Have you already given it a try?

I want to upgrade from a furibee f60, but spending less than 100$. What would you recommend? thanks for your time
Thieye T5 Edge, Firefly 8Se, Mijia 4K

Great review.
does the firefly 8se use the same battery as the 8s ?
john1945xxxxxx Yes.
Thank you
john1945xxxxxx I bought this set from Gearbest, they're the original batteries and work in both cams: dreki.tech/8s-batts
How long does the one battery last.....mins/hrs? Thanks.
It can shoot raw photo?
dimitrimoonlight yes, it can
Very nice
Which one is better on footage & audio.... BLACK 90 DEGREES LENS or 170 LENS? Thanks.
Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ is Lord! 170° is more like a standard action cam. The 90° is permanently locked at a less wide angle. For most people I'd say 170° is the better option.
Is it true that 170 have got a warp like fisheye? 90 don't have a warp?
Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ is Lord! Yes that's correct. 90° has almost no distortion. In order to achieve that you lose out on the wide angle. There is a distortion correction mode that helps the 170° but it's not perfect. The 90° would be better in some cases, maybe like on a drone for example, where the 170° might show too much on either side
ok, 90 & 170 footage & audio 100 percent both same or? Thanks.
Does 170 have a no correction and correction on in menu?
I can't for the upcoming firefly x
I'm super excited too- I hope they send me one to beta test :)
YES, been waiting for this one. Think this will be my next camera I get while I wait for the Hero 6 to get slashed the way the 5s are.

Great video from the budget camera. All the videos from Hawkeye are pretty much home movies.
Also worth it to say I got the T5E because of your videos and I've been happy with that.

Doesn't sound like it is that great of a camera? Needs too many firmware updates.
SGT ROCK The only issue I had was with the touch occasionally not responding. Other than that I didn't notice any serious problems. Sorry if that was not made clear enough in the video.
