    --------
    So,
    What's a action camera and does this cam fit these criteria's?
    Small size = yes
    incl Tough waterproof housing = yes
    high resolution with high fps = yes
    Wide-angle view = yes
    Easy handling/operation = yes
    Anti shake or gyro = No

    There are two kinds of action camera's:
    Firsts person: the one doing the stunt
    The spectators view

    This camera is suited for the latter, the spectators view

    First look.. its cheap.. comes with loads of mounts and accessories:
    a helmet mount, adhesive mounts, a tripod mount, a handlebar mount, straight and 90-degree adaptors, and waterproof housing
    It has a screen for easy use
    Buttons that will not accidentally go On

    Cons
    doesn’t let you change the field of view (170)
    Has no gyro/anti shake
    Its not a true 4k cam (4MP chip)
    Sound quality is like most action cams not good (mono)

    Pro
    Image quality is very good. It’s sharp and colours are realistic
    Usable while charging
    Novice/newbie friendly
    The android app also gives you a remote live feed from the camera and allows you to start and stop recording, make pictures and change some basic modes
    -the app looks different depending on phone/tvbox used (I noticed)
    optional : Usable as dashboard / nanny / security camera

    For vids : See youtube (note: that YouTube compress the vid, the actual vid is in most cases better)

    My verdict
    For first persons view cam: You need to go else where
    But for anything else,
    Hands down :this Is a great cheap, small 1080p action cam, I have no regrets buying this... gadget
    -I do miss the micro HDMI cable, as it seems to be a hard to find cable (lol)
