Just putting this here so maybe people googling will find this info useful.
First thing is first, if you buy it from www.gearbest.com, assume you won't get a warranty with it. One of mine broke within 2 days of owning it and it took like 8 months to get my replacement, and a lot of BS including shipping it back to china. They then deleted my review, and I'm sure they delete every negative reviews on their site. I would buy from someone else
The good: video and audio quality are great, you really do get gopro hero 3 black video for $70. Best for shooting things at 1080p and 30 or 60FPS. A lot less crying involved when the cam decides to launch itself from whatever its mounted on and fly across the race track or into the lake.
The bad: Does not shoot actual 4K video, but pretty close, looks good enough. Most reviews will point this out. What nobody else says is it does not shoot 120FPS at 720, it's really just doubled up frames, complete waste to shoot in this mode. Also, it's Chinese, so......you might end up with a dud. The phone app sucks, and wifi kills the battery life, but neither effects me.
The end result? Excellent cheap almost disposable camera for mounting on your car for getting good 1080p video for turning yourself into a youtube hero. Probably best for hacking for remote activation, since it comes with a lead for wiring it to drones, someday I'll make it so when the car starts, it automatically starts recording. It fails at slow motion, so don't even bother, it will only do 60 FPS.
