Got my camera today and it's small, don't know what I was expecting but it looks good.

Now just need to learn how to use it as all instructions are in Chinese

By all accounts there is no way to contact anybody there either.
Fingers crossed it leaves soon..

Excellent I got one about 5 months ago and have been using it daily throughout. It's amazing and now does 2K video too maybe they will add 4K in future. I think I got it for £42 or £44.

All you guys that claim to have this camera...... Have you tried the slow motion feature?

umirza85 to forcedv

13 Oct 15 #42

Theres quite a few reviews on YouTube that show the slow motion. This one is a great review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tybp5I9ow3I

dcx_badass to forcedv

15 Oct 15 #56

I didn't reply because it literally tells you on the specs, it does 60/120/240 fps no problem and saves the video at that fps. Thankfully it doesn't do the god awful slowing down itself and ruin your footage.

Thanks for the info. Will try windows movie maker when it arrives.

wenttoabetterplace

14 Oct 15 1 #51

Windows Movie Maker has a good slow motion mode, and a v.effective motion stabiliser (if you have W8.1 or above).

An oft derided piece of software - but it actually performs v.well. I use it on my Windows tablet when cycle touring as it is lightweight, reliable and resource efficient. On an Atom Z3740, I can render 1080P high bitrate videos (from an EOS M) in realtime - which is pretty impressive for a free editor.

(I'm hoping Microsoft releases an update for Windows 10)

Ah, interesting. I used to look at his videos a year or so back - and I didn't remember him ever doing any edits/alterations to the videos that came out of the camera.

On the strength of that video, it is clear that the 'slow-mo' feature is actually recorded at real time speed....but with anything from 30fps through to 240fps depending on the option chosen. So all slow-mo work will have to be done in post.

They don't explain how it's done (software or native).

Any idea?

wenttoabetterplace to forcedv

13 Oct 15 #44

Techmoan never does post-shooting editing on his clips. So if that review shows slow-mo videos, then that is what will be coming out of the camera. It will not have been done in post.

I've been trying to amend the link for 2 days now to make it Z23L. Here's the link: http://www.banggood.com/Original-XiaoMi-Yi-Z23-Version-Ambarella-A7LS-BSI-CMOS-WIFI-Sports-Action-Camera-p-995831.html

Can some MOD please update the link? Thanks!

But is this the z23l version??

pulsex0r

12 Oct 15 #37

Any version with L on the end will have no IR filter by the way people.

I would be interested to know what the hardware revisions means, as I have a 22L.

I also have it set to record in 2k 35MBPS.

12 Oct 15 #36

I've been undecided on this deal ever since it was posted. Given the quality control issues (lens focus/microphone/battery drain), I have decided to go for the £50 one from Amazon.
It costs a tenner more when factoring in the possible cashback from BangGood - however, it is delivered by Amazon (so all customer service would fall back on them) - and delivery will probably be in 3 days or less.

Thanks. I've put in a Bespoke price request.

Judging by the Amazon comments, there are various revisions of this camera. The early revisions require lens and microphone modifications. Kind of off-putting!

Does it nativity record 240fps slow motion ready to share or is software editing required?

12 Oct 15 #32

The product page says this will be z22 or z23, for z23l, it provides a link to another page which is listed at £53.

Great price, slightly confused on the the post though. I've tried posting deals from Banggood for the past 2+ years for RC items but it always gets removed and I receive a snarky message from a mod.

Great little camera, just let down slightly by the lack of an LCD because the potential quality of the footage makes it very versatile to the extent you'd want to be able use it for applications where you can frame shots.

The official firmware alone has added a raft of great features but there is a pretty big custom firmware movement going on that has really helped to wring every last drop of performance from the already excellent sony sensor.

Or 'expedited shipping service' - 3 to 7 days? ($10)

I have this camera and for the money it is truly excellent.

The software has an update every 3 weeks or so. The latest update actually upgrades the resolution to 2.3k!

I got mine from bang good and paid an extra £4 for express delivery. It actually comes from a UK address so no extra tax to pay.

Just remember you only will get the camera and battery and USB cable. All other accessories must be purchased separately.
I bought the underwater housing (£:sunglasses:, the official bluetooth remote (£7), a desktop charger and 2 extra batteries (£11) and a generic selfie stick.

This was filmed at 1080p, make sure you set the playback on youtube to get this resolution, but bear in mind youtubes compression ruins the quality a little.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-31DVQhtw

The only (minor) downside of the camera is:
No screen to indicate settings, every setting needs to be changed using the smartphone app.
Slow to start up, takes about 8 seconds before you can start recording.

£42.45 if you choose USD as the currency (you'll need a card that doesn't charge currency conversions - like the Halifax Clarity).
Plus the additional 6% TCB.
Under £40 for a GoPro rivalling camera. HOT!

What's the customs threshold for potential charges?

Got mine from Gearbest for about the same price, arrived pretty quickly, it's a fantastic camera, mine is the Z23L revision no focus or microphone issues, also bought loads of accessories, waterproof case, spare batteries and charger, go pro mounts etc. Footage is brilliant.

Great, can you please tell us that with the new firmware does it become capable of being used as a dasg cam, without the need of turning it on everytime?

11 Oct 15 #17

It says on the Amazon listing that it is camera only. That suggests there are no mounts at all, so does it fit into the Gopro frame, or the Gopro waterproof case, or has it got a tripod thread, or do you need to start buying other mounts etc? Looks good for the price, I might be tempted to eBay my Gopro....

erk to erk

11 Oct 15 #18

I'll reply to myself- there a tripod thread which isn't shown on Amazon, but is shown on banggood.
Off to order one I think!

Not as far as I know, the dashcam modes it added were looped recording and flip the video so the camera can be mounted upside down. There are some scripts on the dashcam forum to make it autostart recording when powered on.

I've read that it can record 240fps slow motion.
Question is, does the recording require software editing to share slow motion recordings with others?

wenttoabetterplace

10 Oct 15 #6

Is this the cheapest current price? OR just the cheapest price that pass HUKD's moderation system?

Also, how much do BangGood normally charge for this camera - and what's the usual delivery time?

Many thanks

no_Sunshine to wenttoabetterplace

It seems like the cheapest price atm... Banggood normally sell so many of these that their products are updated with the latest lenses n firmware... FYI

I bought one last week from amazon for 55 so hot from me. estimated 1 - 3 weeks delivery. pretty sure the the issues were solved by software updates.

wenttoabetterplace to danielmackenzie

10 Oct 15 1 #9

The lens issue is a hardware fault...and requires disassembly/refocusing (Can be done by the end user). The microphone is also a hardware fault - though I don't know what the fix is for that issue.

The later hardware revisions solve these issues.

When Techmoan did a review of this camera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tybp5I9ow3I), it didn't support dash-cam feature (i.e. auto record/on/off with power) which was in March this year...

This has a 16MP sony exmor sensor...
