Action Cams

[backlander]

Ordered one of these yesterday to use on Suzie, should be here Monday the tenth. Best package deal I was able to find and it has a remote. I'll let you know how well it works if anyone is interested. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Vivitar-DVR-7 ... iewedItems

Looks like an affordable alternative to a GoPro. Be sure to write a up a review here please.

~O~

The price is right...I would be interested, How long will something like that record?..I was thinking getting something as a dash cam that would turn on with ignition and record my drive.

Just ordered one, and a 32GB memory card. I've been looking for a camera, hopefully this will fit the bill. Should be here by next Tuesday. Woo-hoo!

I have an old Vivitar 35mm SLR that's 35 years old and still works great, so I'm good with the brand.

That would be tricky, but usually it's just one button to start recording. Recording time depends on the speed fps and size of memory card.

Heck of a deal. I might order one also.
Gopro is so 2013 Lol.

It doesn't say but most of the new stuff runs off a USB 12v cigarette lighter plug for power and most of those only comes on with the key on. It comes with a car mount and a dash mount and a bunch of others. I got a 16 Gb to test how long it will record. I was looking at the Emerson but I never had much luck with Emerson products, plus there was no remote. This one has the remote and an LCD touchscreen for review and all. Engine forum :cheeky: You'es guys is full of it, full of it I tell you. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

Had to do it Joel, was too easy.

:nea: no pink, I ordered the black one for dress up formal attire. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

 

[Steve83]

Someone here has said that black is the fastest color, so I got the black one also. Lookin' forward to next Tuesday to check it out!

 

[Ansimp]

Black just means when you put it down some where you will never be able to find it :smilie_happy:
Orange defender case on my iPhone and I still can't find it unless it is my pocket :head bang:

Got mine last night. It comes with lots of mounting options, and seems to be decent quality. It has USB and HDMI ports on it - a pleasant surprise since the specs only listed HDMI. I hope to take it for a ride in the next day or so.

I tried to talk Mike into the pink one for Suzie but he had already ordered her a black one :yes:

Got it yesterday evening, spent two hours getting it out of the box, seemed like, downloaded the manual cause the paperwork in the box wasn't much punkin. It is BLACK so Suzy hasn't been sissified, yet. Stayed up till 3 am figuring it out. I like it, seemed to be of good quality. Took some photos and made a couple of videos around the house and it does a good job so far. The true test will be rolling videos with it mounted on the bike. So far the only thing I'm not happy with is the LCD screen cannot be seen in the sunlight and the remote only turns the unit off, not on. Working on places to mount it on the bike for testing.
