SJCAM

[Peter Ball]

Hi, After all the advice I got from you good people re, what camera to get SWMBO for Christmas, it seems that the SJCAM M20 would be a best buy for the money.

I don't have much experience with E Bay but it seems there are lots of people selling these, with good offers to include all accessories and three spare batteries all for about £90. They say they are new but may come in a plain box that's maybe been opened to inspect the camera?? I would really appreciate any help from someone who's, perhaps bought one, and could recommend a dealer or has more experience of E Bay.

Thanks for any help and stay warm in the snow.

I find ebay and Amazon ok for low value items, but prefer a retail outlet for more expensive purchases, even at a higher cost, as its much easier to get things sorted if they go wrong...
Just my opinion..

There's loads of fake sjcams out there,a quick Google search will let you know what to look out for.

Hi Gubbins, Thanks for the response, can you recommend a good retailer?

Sorry mate but don't know who sells them.. Do a Google search or go on someone else's recommendation

You can buy directly from SJcam:
https://sjcam.com/product/m20/

It might be a little more expensive, but at least you know that you'll get a genuine one.

I like the idea of the wrist mounted remote control.

Hi, d8veh,

Thanks for posting up the web address for SJCAM, to avoid the possibility of buying a fake I decide to take your advice and get it direct from them. At £89 the price is not that different fro ebay, although standard delivery is free I was warned it can take up to 30 days so decided to pay £18 for express delivery as it's for SWMBOs Christmas.

They provided me with a tracking number. It was sent out last Wednesday 13th and I received it this morning 18th. It went from Chek Lap Kok in Hong Kong to Shennan-Shi in Japan to Charles De Gaulle France then to Stanstead, to Stoke on Trent, then to Spalding Linc's and delivery to me. Not bad considering it would have had to be cleared at all customs.

Lucky you.. I sent my pre order cash to Cyciq for the new fly 12 which was supposed to ship mid November.. Now put back to mid Jan...

When SWMBO starts to use it on her bike what speed would you recommend to get a good picture?
Thanks for any advice.

id go for 4k 30fps if it can do it or 1080p 60fps 4k will fill a 32gb card in 60 mins.

I've had a sjcam for a few years now and you can't go wrong for the money
