I will be using iMovie as just got an iMac! What a learning curve that is !!!!

I’ve got one of these cams & just getting used to it,the only downside I’ve found is the mounts,they don’t tighten up & stay tight,so the camera flops about which is a pain,certainley the bar mount anyway !.

Does anyone know if they record with time code?

You can set-up a date & time stamp according to the reviews.

reedspeed – on the plastic on the screw mount take some sandpaper to it to rough up the edges on both pieces. The rough edges bind perfectly and don’t move (techmoan’s tip not mine but will take credit 🙂

I cannot see any mention of WiFi connectivity or is it me?

I have one and its great bit of kit for the cash.

Small tip, set the white balance to Tungsten for best results.

There’s a newer version that has Wi-Fi. This one doesn’t.

There are lots of brands claiming to be the ‘new’ SJ4000. Is there actually an official one? Things get a bit grey with copies of copies.

Thx smurfly13..

I bought one when they first appeared for around 60 quid. Footage is great quality, but as above had to manually set the white balance (i set mine to cloudy) to stop it doing weird things with the colours.

For bar mounting i use one of these

Been swimming with it too, still watertight.

I got one like this marketed as a Sunco Dream 2. I think it’s the same cam. It’s very good indeed and I’ve had it down to about 8m with no issues.

Not too bad on an MTB either.

Anyone know if it will fit onto a GoPro chesty mount?

Yup, works fine with a chesty mount, the vids I posted earlier are shot with one.

Ooooooh. I think you’ve all shown me what I should spend my birthay money on.

Hookers?

And blow.

Lol

And recording the evening on your new action camera?

Good thing they are waterproof.

And come with a cleaning cloth

I didn’t get THAT much money for my bithday and I think I’ll keep a healthy distance from any hookers that’d do it for the loose change I’ll have left over.

^^^this has made me chuckle^^^

:lol

Does anyone know of an effective way to mount this for use on the commute without helmet mounting? I don’t want to draw attention to the camera if I can help it, I’m thinking some kind of belt clip type setup on my rucksack straps rather than bar mounting so that I can point it away from ‘forward’ if need be.

It comes with a sprung clip. A bit like a wide clothes peg. That’d clip to a rucksack strap or pocket fairly easily

Like the idea of this at £38, but prefer the idea of a Wifi one!

Anyone received one from EVOMTB yet to confirm if its the genuine one??!

Is the idea of wifi simply to make uploading easier? I know on the GoPro it’s so you can view the frame via your iPhone ect, but as this has a screen to allow that I’m not sure what the other benefits are (if any)

Looked on their site cant see a delivery time? Anyone know if they are genuine version or fakes?

Mine has been shipped from China, but not received yet.

Not that impressed with it TBH
I do need to look at the setting but the quality doesn’t seem that great to me.
It’s from a recommended source so presume it’s genuine.

Anyway, I stuck it on my new winter motorbike yesterday for it’s maiden ride, if you’re interested there’s a clip here.

Where are you chaps buying these from? I’ve a bunch of sites (bookmarked but can’t access from here) from research I did a few months ago.

Interested to see if there is a pattern to pricing/delivery/authenticity.

Ta

I bought one from EVOMTB/Amazon, i’ve had a despatched email and am expecting it delivered todayish.

No idea how i’ll tell if it’s a real one but i’ll film a bit of my commute when i get it to see whether it’s any good or not.

Sorry where are they on Amazon, I can only see EVOMTB’s own website?

Has anyone tried the unit skiing? Can it handle the white?

Ta

Evomtb links through to Amazon at checkout, that site is basically a shop front and their transactions are done through Amazon.

Haven’t seen any footage of snow myself but it’s worth searching Youtube for sj400, there’s a lot on there. I’ve seen some impressive results from people who have fiddled with the white balance and done a bit of basic post processing. If you’re interested in getting the best image possible, this seems to be necessary with this camera.

Ah great thank you

Looks like the yellow version has been dropped a bit further ; <£35 now…

Wife mentioned getting me it as a Christmas pressie but it’s not likely to last long at that price! Tempted to just get one…

Checked my despatch email again last night and it might not get here until Nov 27th!! So i’ll have a wait a bit longer to test it, I really should read stuff but i just got too excited……

£35 just too tempting, I’ve purchased one
