I was looking for a small handy camcorder that produces a better quality image and is more versatile than the known action cams and, above all, is waterproof. After 1 day of testing immediately very satisfied with the result and the easy operation. Some downsides perhaps : no hot/cold shoe for an external micro, but that has to do with the water resistance and can easily be solved by using the 1/4" screw at the bottom. Of course the door is open with an external micro open and the camcorder is no longer waterproof and dustproof So be careful when you use an external micro The internal battery can only be charged with the device, also of course because of the water resistance, but can be provided quickly and easily with a power bank on location Other than that, a great camcorder that's easy to operate and shoots 4K images, and it's also small and handy enough to always have with you when traveling or wherever in addition to a DSLR.

We use this camera to allow people who are less handy with technology to make their own films. We wanted good quality, ease of use of course, but also a solid solution. This camera has it all and really delivered more in features and quality than we expected.
It is important to ensure sufficient light, but that is always the case, especially with 4K. The more light, the better the quality and then the image is really sharp! The autofocus works fine. And with an external microphone, the sound is really a lot better, depending on what you want to do with the camera, so it is a point of attention.
If you do not have an SD card reader, it is useful to know that you can not only use the USB-C connection to charge the camera, but also to transfer the files to your computer. The MOV files are also very easy to load and edit on your Mac.
