New Camera

[Deleted member 4366]

I just got the SJcam m20. It's a pseudo 4k camera. It's a fair step up from a 1080p 30 fps one. I've been recording at 2K 30 fps and the results are really good. It has an inbuilt giro of some sorts, which takes out a lot of the vibration somehow. It goes as high as 4K at 24 fps. I'm using about 0.75gb per 5 mins, so you need a fair size memory card. I'm not sure of the battery life because I didn't flatten it in about an hour of recording. It can run in car mode, where it'll record while powered from the USB connector, so you can add a power pack for really long recording.

There's not much point in posting sample footage because it won't show in full resolution anyway. There's loads of Youtube video reviews if you want to check it out.

Tried it again today on a 40 miler. The battery ran out at about 25 miles, so about an hour and 40 minutes. My one came with two batteries, so I stuck the spare one in. Interestingly, it stopped at exactly the time I stopped for refreshments.

my eken 4k cam does about 1hr of batt at 4k and uses 32gb for that amount

it takes forever to render it and then upload to you tube

Tempting as I'm thinking seriously about a camera. If I do 20 miles, I can reckon on one or two near misses to keep me awake. Today's was a school-run parent in a Zafira who thought better of pulling in to a passing place on a single track lane, but decided to barrel on through. Very close for comfort, but I derived some wry amusement from the four parking sensors at the back and customary post dent between them

32gb. It has loop recording, so it'll record about 2 hours recording at 2k, then start overwriting the beginning. A 2 hour video would bore anyone. I think 16gb is all you need.

No giro stabilisation though, so it's rubbish!

Ok, when I watched the video on youtube the bloke was using i think 64gb.
I tell you what, for that price and quality it wins way over the Gopro.
