I purchased this 4K WiFi Sports Action Camera (170 degree wide angle lens) because I thought the remote control feature would be helpful in making Youtube videos. I've been making Youtube videos on my own since early 2016 using an inexpensive ($200) 16.1MP Canon camera and a $50, 12MP sports action camera similar to the Andoer brand. Since I produce my videos on my own, I thought having a camera with a wireless remote control would help a lot.
The camera came with all the same accessories as my old 12MP sports camera including a waterproof case, parts to connect to a bicycle helmet and handle bar and several different adjustable mounts and attachments. I mounted the camera to the brim of a baseball cap using one of the tripod mount accessories so I could record hands free while walking. With a similar attachment you can also connect the camera to a selfie stick. The Andoer camera has function buttons in the same location as my older sports camera. The power ON button is in the front on the far right of the lens. It also acts as a mode select button once the camera is on. It starts up in Video mode, but can be changed to record stills by pressing the power button once. A second button on the top is marked OK, which is the Video record or shutter button. So, when you press OK in the Video mode, it starts your recording. To stop recording, you press the OK button again.
Setting Up
When I first powered on the camera it had no memory card installed, and memory is not included. It happens to take a microSD card up to 64GB, which is a plus for this camera. I inserted the chip, and was ready to start a recording, excited to try out the wireless remote. The camera was ON, and in Video Mode, so I pressed the OK button and an error was displayed. Although the microSD card I inserted was new, and already formatted, the Andoer camera wanted to reformat the chip. That's something I hadn't experienced with my older sports camera. When I installed a new card in that camera, I could start recording without formatting. So, I allowed the Andoer camera to reformat the chip even though I didn't think that was a necessary step. Once finished, in just a few seconds, I got the camera to record and also shot a still picture (of me). Then I transferred the microSD chip to my desktop computer and copied the contents. A sample video is included, recorded at 4K (the default setting), and the 170 degree wide angle picture was extremely clear.
Summing Up
The camera functions well, and was very clear at 4K resolution, and the audio sounded good too. But I was disappointed that for $89.99 it did not include a power adapter. It should be included with the accessories. This is not a major problem because you can use any Android phone adapter for charging the battery.
