Sound Around Gear Pro Sports Action Camera - HD 1080P Mini Camcorder w/ 12 MP Cam, 2.4" Touch Screen USB SD Card HDMI, Battery - Waterproof Case, USB Cable, Wireless Remote Control, Mount - Pyle GDV285BK (Black)

this camera is awful and i had to buy a sd card separate. It will not work half the time and is so cheap where the sd card goes will not stay closed. I had also been opened and taped back up when I got it.

I recommend this over go pro's any day! The remote made switching back and forth from pic to vids easy and it came with all these harnesses and connectors for anything you could think of to put it on. The housing worked awesome. We bought 2 go pros and returned them for 2 of these. Go pros are not work the money, this is much more inexpensive and you get everything! 7 day kayak trip a success!Came with- waterproof case, remote, harness and attachment for paddles, suction attachment, permanent 3m attachments, helmet attachment and MORE!

I was trying to save money and wanted a camera similar to the GoPro this looked like it was going to work for me. When I received the camera right away you could tell the quality was not there, the case it cheaply built and the buttons didn't work. The remote never worked and it appeared I was shipped a used camera by the way the box was packed. Going back now and looking at the GoPro you can see why it cost more and based on the difference the GoPro is worth the extra cost. I would suggest if you want a camera like a GoPro save up the money and get a camera that will last. I am placing my order today for a new GoPro camera.

Great camera for the money. It feels very cheap in your hand, but the video and audio quality is actually pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the touch screen, but it does well enough. I have had charging issues with the units before. I have 2 of these cameras and one that's identical to it, just rebadged under another name. The rebadged unit WILL NOT hold a charge. These two, however, have had the occasional instance where they wouldn't charge correctly, but after a second attempt, were able to do so. So long as you get these cheap, I'd say go for them. But, most likely, there are other cameras available now that will give you the same/better features for a comparable price.

I really-REALLY wanted to like this camera (and in some ways I do) but......Out of the box, the camera battery was fully charged and I was abel to start tinkering with it within minutes of unpacking it. I pulled the remote control out of a clear bag, removed a slit of paper so the battery would make contact and "walla" the remote was turning on and off the camera. The camera told me to install a memory card and I did, and as sat in my kitchen playing with everything, all was fine and dandy and the remote made the camera record video as I tinkered with it prior to placing the camera inside the clear plastic housing.Here is what I like...**** My San Disk Ultra mini-card is easy to insert and easy to eject in the GearPro unlike some other small cameras I have. One thing though, there seems to be excessive slop when the card is being inserted (unlike my other stuff that uses mini card) and I suspect the tolerances of the GearPro are not anywhere as close as my my other cameras that use with mini SD cards... Some of my other stuff is difficult to eject the mini-card, but the GearPro is easy.**** I actually like the clear plastic housing on my GearPro better than my GoPro Hero2. The latching mechanism is easier to lock and close than the GoPro.**** No real "learning curve" on the GearPro like the GoPro.The GearPro is pretty much a no-brainer and I didn't even look at the manual to start making recordings.**** The remote that came with the GearPro worked well for me when the camera is not in the clear plastic housing. Once I placed it inside the clear housing the day following me experimentations in my kitchen, the remote was not able to make the camera do anything, even when placed inches away from the camera. I'm not certain if the battery in the remote died or if the remote died, but as I read other reviews here on Amazon, it seems to suggest the remote isn't very reliable and probably just cratered on me.**** I really like the LCD screen on the back that shows what your framing and composition look like as what the lens is seeing. A screen on a GoPro is an optional purchase.What I don't like**** The San DIsk seems to freeze footage and locks momentarily when video is played back. The card I installed is supposed to be fully compatible with the camera, but with this flaw of having unwanted "freeze frames" I'll not be using this camera for anything more than a dash cam. It is worthless for me if I want to make a video that doesn't lock up every 5 or six seconds.**** The camera is a shiny black material and the gloss surfaces reveals inconsistencies in the plastic housing. This leads me to believe the build-quality is no where even close to my GoPro Hero 2 camera.**** The GearPro camera is a tad larger than my GoPro and I much better like the smaller size of the GoPro. I believe the GoPro is a more durable camera and makes me think the GearPro is nearly disposable and isn't going to last very long, and in fact, the flap that covers the SD slot pops open and will not stay shut.**** The rubber flaps that cover the the slot where the mini-card is inserted and on the other side where the USB cord is plugged in, look like they might not stand up more than a month or so. Plan on these covers being torn, damaged or simply falling off much sooner than you might think and you'll probably be forced to put Scotch tape on the slots when the rubber flaps break.Bottom line, the video quality isn't bad and if it were not for the fact that the video shows freezing about every 6 seconds (sometimes every two second) this could be a good camera for shooting in high-risk situations where you might not like to place your more expensive camera.

The old rule of the internet holds: too good to be true means it isn't.If it actually worked (even with external power) then would have met my needs, but alas DOA.When plug in USB power it shows a "turn it on" message for a second, then white screen. Completely unresponsive. Pressed the reset, tried with and without SD card. Nothing works.

Received this "1080P" action camera timely. It was packaged nicely and I definitely got my hopes up... Then I turned it on and started playing with it. At that point I realized that I had made a mistake. This camera is definitely not 1080P!! Video quality was very poor, even on the highest quality setting. I tried to set up a couple of videos and I started getting an error message, however I am using a class 10 SD card per the instructions. I also was not impressed with battery life. I would not recommend this camera, not even as a backup camera. I have heard good things about the SJ4000 cameras, though I will probably bite the bullet and buy a GoPro at this point.The UPSIDE is that Amazon was awesome for refunds! You click that you want to refund the item, answer one question and they send you all the information to print. Print it out, cut a few pieces out and tape the prepaid shipping label to a box and drop them off!! The next day the money was refunded to me. Very easy and painless.
