    I don't expect it to be a stellar product

    But for £15.99 with the included extras, can't go wrong really

    Thanks for the heads up, just bought 2.

    I bought one of these 3 months ago for £35 and was fairly happy at that price, since I also paid 300+ for a GoPro Hero 4 Silver.

    For the price its not a bad camera but you get what you pay for.

    It certainly feels flimsy compared to the real go pro but it does fit all the accessories/mounts.

    The picture quality is not as good either but its not terrible. It uses some software enhancement instead of better hardware. There are a good few comparison videos of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w-KRqDweyY

    Two thing to watch out for, you can only use cards 32GB or lower, the batteries are not interchangeable with GoPro batteries.

    I am basically using mine as a dispoable camera in riskier spots than I would put my Gopro in.

    No, I'm glad it's there. But it really skews the results. Anyway, hows the speaker sounding ? :)

    Bought 2 myself, use one as a gift

    Might use it as a dash cam also if that's possible

    This is just a sjcam sj4000 clone. (A clone of a clone if you will...). I've had one of these clones before and the image quality is actually okay. But the battery life was atrocious. I wouldn't bother to be honest, you can get reasonable cams for little money these days, but this isn't it.

    Got one similar posted on here a few months ago from newfrog.com for $16.99 it wasbrutal not even 480p - the overall build was great but the cam was ****e.

    Lodged a paypal dispute and finally got my money back last week.

    I too got one of these supposed Sj4000 s from T Mart for e20ish lately. I already own an Sj1000 which is fine..not GoPro standard but fine so I know the kind of standard we are talking about. The TMart one and I suspect this one is junk of the highest order!! ...Think early Nokia phone video quality even set at 1080p (joke). PayPal dispute in progress too! Beware big time! One thing I notice is that it's very lightweight it's only plus point! Do not just Google Sj4000 on YouTube and think that sample Sj4000 videos there bear any relationship to this krap in the samples with comparisons to Gopros!
