Buy this, not GoPro!! Do yourself a favor by saving $100.
The photos speak for themselves! The wife and I went to Bermuda for vacation. We bought this camera bc I couldn't fathom paying $160+ for a GoPro. This did everything I needed and then some. Obvly, I won't post every photo but I hope you enjoyed the few that I did post!

phenomenal deal!!!
so I just got it yesterday and I hope this review is not true premature.but, WOW!!!I am blown away by the value of this camera.first off I was quite surprised by this very unusual accessory that came in the box something I've never seen any cheap camera packaging before,I believe it's called an "instruction manual"and I was amazed to see when I turn the first page it was clearly written in English...the accessory package is more than you should ever need.the LCD screen is really easy to see in the settings section is really easy to read and clear on the screen.I primarily bought this for my drone to take video footage.I am running it primarily at 1080p 60 frames as if I wanted to be slightly better than the 4K 30 frames.I have tried a lot of knock-off cheap cameras and have returned everyone or throwing them away cuz they were garbage,I am keeping this one and I am thrilled.I can't believe I almost pulled the trigger and bought a $400 GoPro which I would barely ever use.I'm sure there are some improvements on the go pro versus this but not for what I need.plus this comes with the remote control button for taking photos and video which that is an $80 external add-on option for the GoPro.also I had no problem using the Wi-Fi app to my phone as I guess some people in the Google play store complained did not work, but if you read the instructions you do need to disable the data service on your phone for it to work right...

Not a Waterproof Remote "Beware"
I give this 1 star on the remote, wish I could do 0" stars. We are on our 5 year wedding anniversary visiting 4 islands in Hawaii. We were so excited to use this first our trip, and believe me I reviewed loads before I made this purchase. We bought this specifically for underwater snorkeling. As soon as we went in the water the remote stopped working. It is not waterproof! 2 weeks of our trip not being able to take selfies and pictures with no working remote. I wish it had a backup remote or case to put remote in underwater what's the point of using the underwater camera and not being able to use the remote! Havent even gone home yet to upload pictures, very dissatisfied didnt even use this camera to much on our 2 week trip. Very upset and unhappy! Would like a full refund!

Cool Little Action Camera
I have watched many reviews on these budget action cameras and while these definitely are not GoPros they definitely are very fun and useful cameras. I like using these cameras for more still stuff and nothing crazy like dirt biking. I tend to use these on a tripod of some sort and film things going on like events. I also enjoy taking these out snorkeling and you can get some great photos.The Cooau is by far my favorite out of the 3 different brands I own. It comes with a ton of accessories and even better it fits other gopro accessories so no trying to hunt down accessories. Build quality of the camera is very nice. Even out of the waterproof housing seems really sturdy. This set also comes with 2 batteries which is nice to have a back up. You can also find replacements for pretty inexpensive. The camera seems to work off of the same interface as most budget action cameras which is easy to navigate.There are only a couple negatives but not worth losing a star over. The external microphone is not very good unless it is right up against your mouth but people using it as an action camera wont really use it. I have a better external mic i can use if needed. Video quality does goes down with crazy bumps. And finally the waterproof housing came with a defect in the door (but you do get an extra door) not sending it back just marking that door as non waterproof.HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE WANTING TO GET IN THE ACTION CAMERA GAME!This will be staying in my gear bag for future use!

Sound sucks.
I bought this one to finally have some acceptable sound recording with a knockoff GoPro, but not so much. There is no difference between internal and external mike. Both are dampened to the extreme that nothing useful is recorded.The EIS -electronic image stabilization- is not working if any of the Loop Recording modes is selected,EIS is not available in 4K.The camera has a Car Mode, starts recording when powered by the Micro-USB cord which is one of my must have's. There is no 1/4" socket for a tripod.No excuses for two microphones and still no sound. Sending it back.Update: Got me a replacement which has the same problem, no useful sound recording. Customer service was quick to respond to my review and ask for a "Star Upgrade" before sending me a replacement. Had Amazon taking care of it instead and got a package that had been returned by someone else before. The "no sound" is not a defect but rather a feature. You would think that a device with an external microphone had some emphasis on sound quality. Not the case with this one.

Buena cámara de acción
Es una cámara muy buena en calidad-precio, tenía miedo por como se veía la imagen en la pantalla pero al verla en la computadora se ve muy bien, la usaré para mí motocicleta y veo que no se nota tanto el movimiento.
