Liquid Image Ego HD 1080P WiFi Action Video Camera - Blue

My brother has a GO PRO HD2 Motorsport edition camera that he uses recording trackday footage and its a great product. It is also very expensive especially when you factor in the various mounts ie suction mounts and a roll-cage clampI have recently got into doing trackdays and done lots of research on what camera would be good value for money. First thing that strikes you about this camera is that its very very small. I have a Kodak ZX5 i was going to use for trackdays but the poor quality sound caused me alot of issue's. No problems with sound with this Camera.You will struggle to find many video examples of this camera in use on Youtube because its still quite new but the results are amazing. Also the firmware has been updated and the action connect software can now be used on your android mobile phone so that it acts as a viewfinder.You can disable the LED on the front using the action connect software meaning you can film quite stealthily without anyone knowing. This is very useful as a trackday camera because you wont be distracting others with a flashing LED every 2 seconds. It also means you can use record when driving everyday on the road without gathering any unwanted attention ie the police asking why you are recording your driving.This is a great product and now its got the WIFI sorted for Android phones its real rival for Go Pro. Obviously it doesn't have all the fuctions of the GO Pro but what it does do it does very well.

The video recording quality is excellent but And this is a major drawback, really depends on the camera positioning - position the camera too high (pointing to the sky) and the auto-exposure can darken the video....SO viewing the image using the WiFi really matters AND THE ANDROID APP DOESN'T WORK. This statement is based on attempting to download/run the Android App on three differing phones (one Motorola and 2 Samsung and two differing tablets (Samsung/Acer). On a better note The Apple iPhone/iPad App worked first time.So I can only say that if you're considering buying this camera - make sure you have an iPad or iPhone to make the most of it

Really disappointing piece of kit. The first one I was sent only managed to hold a charge for about 20 mins then shut up shop. The retailer to their credit sent another the very next day free of charge. It seemed to work fine until it arrived in the French Alps last week to record my skiing endeavours. Fully charged and in the chest harness, the battery then lasted for around 10 mins. It wasn't even very cold, check the weather there 2nd - 12th Jan 15, it even rained a lot of the time it was so warm... but it shut up shop completely even refusing to be recharged from its dedicated USB. it was so dead that the lap top refused to even recognise the USB connection!!!The film it did take was nice quality, it just couldn't take enough of it without shutting down and refusing to work again. I paid a lot less than the current asking price and feel that there may well have been a reason.... Not worth your hard earned I am afraid full stop.

I used this camera on 2 snowboard trips and I was very impressed with the quality and functionality. But after comparing my footage to my friend's GoPro Hero 3 the difference was very clear. I've since bought the GoPro Hero 3+ and the number of functions, camera options and quality has completely blown this camera out of the water. For me it was definitely worth investing a GoPro but if you are on a tight budget then this camera will do the job.Like with all action cameras the video quality suffers in low light. It has 60fps but only in 720p. The lighting was never good enough for me to get good quality 60fps shots so I always used the 30fps setting. The camera is quite light and is easy to hold with an extended arm mount. The camera doesn't come with any curved mounts for the helmet. As this camera fits a standard camera screw, I bought a camera to GoPro mount adapter and which allowed me to use this camera with cheap GoPro mounts. This camera doesn't come with waterproof housing which can be pricey so consider that on top of the cost of the camera if you intend to use it for watersports. The splash guard provided with this camera is sufficient for snow sports. The buttons were fine to operate with gloves on and the light indicator is easy to read.

Amazon customer service was excellent which was fortunate as the camera really didn't live up to billing so has been returned for a refund which was processed in two days so thank you amazonI bought the camera for a skiing trip, partly for fun and partly to learn from watching ourselves. Also like cycling and motorcycling so thought this reasonably priced and good spec camera would give me a good entry point into showing off on you tube and face book.The apps are good (there's a LIC one available too) although the action connect one works a bit better and you can delete files from it.This camera was very poor. Video quality was poor even on a sunny snowy mountain. The camera would freeze requiring a reset. The default settings were all over the place requiring the app link to change every time the camera was turned on.I did buy this camera on the strength of amazon reviews and some on you tube so possibly I just got a dud one however it was so bad that asking for it to be replaced was never even an option.
