Action Camera with 2 Inch Screen, Waterproof Case and Mount

You clip the camera into the clear case, screw the back down, and it goes where a phone would not survive the afternoon

The camera on its own is a plain block: a 90 degree wide lens on the front, two buttons, a 2 inch screen on the back and a removable cell under a hatch. It becomes an action camera the moment it goes into the housing, a clear shell with a sprung latch, a screw down back and a bracket foot underneath that takes the standard two prong mounts already on helmets, bars and chest straps.

Be clear about what it is. The maker gives the sensor as 300,000 pixels and describes the 1080p video as interpolated, which means the file is 1080p and the detail behind it is not. It also states about ten minutes of recording per charge. This is a camera for a bike descent, a snorkel over a reef or a handlebar clip on a commute, not a holiday's worth of footage.

Key Benefits

• The housing does the hard part A clear screw down case with a sprung latch, and a bracket foot that fits the two prong mounts the whole category shares.
• A screen you can frame with 2 inches on the back, so you are not guessing where a 90 degree lens is pointing.
• A removable cell The 200 mAh cell comes out, which matters more here than on most cameras, because a spare doubles your day.
• Menus in your language Chinese, English, Russian, Korean and others, and each option name ends in english version.
• Seven finishes Black, white, blue, pink, yellow, gold and silver, all wrapping the same body and the same lens.

Best for: a first action camera for a teenager, a spare you can afford to lose off a handlebar, a snorkelling trip where you would not take a phone, and short clips rather than long recordings.

Why It Works

The value here is not the sensor, it is the housing and the mount foot. Because the bracket matches the two prong standard, every helmet clip, suction cup and chest strap already on the market fits it, which is the part that usually costs more than the camera. Buying one of these is buying a body you can bolt to something and stop worrying about, and being honest about the ten minute runtime and the interpolated 1080p is what makes that a fair trade rather than a disappointment.

Quick Product Facts: approximately 270 g; 90 degree wide lens; sensor given by the maker as 300,000 pixels; video described by the maker as 1080p interpolated, saved as AVI; stills saved as JPG; 2 inch screen; removable 200 mAh cell; about ten minutes of recording per charge as stated by the maker; TF card up to 32 GB, not supplied; clear screw down housing with a two prong mount bracket; multi language menus; seven colours.

How It Fits Your Routine

Before a ride the card goes in, the cell goes in, the back screws down and the whole thing clips to the bars. You record the descent rather than the climb, because ten minutes is what you have and the descent is the part worth keeping.

At the coast it goes in the water in its housing while the phone stays in a dry bag on the beach. Rinse the closed case in fresh water afterwards, dry it, and only then open the back, so nothing salty reaches the camera inside.

Between outings, charge the cell and carry a second one. Files come off the TF card with a card reader, and the card is the piece you keep buying rather than the camera.

FAQ

How deep can it go? The maker prints 30 m on its own panels. No IP rating, no pressure test and no certificate comes with it, so we are not repeating a depth as a promise. Treat it as a case that keeps splash, rain and shallow water out, check the seal before every dip, and never open the back with wet hands.

Is the video really 1080p? The file is. The maker itself describes the resolution as interpolated and gives the sensor as 300,000 pixels, which is around 0.3 megapixels. Expect footage that looks like a small sensor upscaled, not like a modern phone.

How long can I record for? About ten minutes per charge, as stated by the maker. That is the honest headline of this camera. Buy a spare cell if you want more than a couple of clips.

What is actually in the box? The packing list reads camera plus accessories, without listing them. The clear housing and the mount bracket appear in every catalogue photograph, so those are what the maker is showing, but it never names the individual mounts, so we cannot promise which straps and clips arrive with yours. No memory card is included.
