@9freelandk- This is the way the Sony Play Memories Mac Application works. You'd need to ask Sony why it only outputs at a lower Mbps.
@9freelandk- Again only Sony knows if they'll update their Play Memories app to show MPH as well as KPH.
@andrea masciocchi - I trust you understand the difference between a TimeCode and a Time Stamp. Timecodes do not show on the video footage - they are embedded in a file. This camera only adds Timecodes into files recorded in the PRO Mode and I haven't uploaded any Pro clips yet. The reasons for this are mentioned on my blog.
hey techmoan!
it would be nice to have a reference camera to compare the quality of yours camera that you review
***** they are way better camera's on the market like a sony handycam with a waterproof ccase and a wide angle lens on it
***** exactly
Its a real shame that sony dose not offer loop recording for this camera. For my purpose the size, shape, sound quality, video quality, and its other features are just what i need. Unfortunately for sony none of the needed features on this camera do me any good without loop recording.
Sony needs to add loop recording to this model.
I've uploaded some short downloadable 1080p60 50 Mbps Pro-Mode Clips on my blog now - www.techmoan.com/blog/2014/4/13/the-epic-sony-as100v-action-camera-review.html
thanks
Excellent video review!
Have you tried the AEE S70?
It look pretty good...
Also, do you know if the live remote is waterproof?

struggling with uploading videos to fb messenger any ideas ?
Wow this camera is amazing. They really stepped up their game.
Slow motion, time lapse, sound, case/camcorder style attachement, remote, water resistant body, video quality, different video qualities, so many goodies!!!
I JUST got my first action cam today, the sj4000. I think it'll do for my needs for now. Thanks again Techmoan, awesome review!!!!
Thank you for an excellent and thorough review. I have the AS100V and discovered some features here that I hadn't noticed before.
You deserve much more publicity than almost every other reviewer out there, great job!
I just bought the AS200VR and found this video helpful. I've watched several of your videos lately and find them concise and informative. Thanks!
Shaun,
I just watched the entire video you did and this is the best in depth review of the Sony HDR-AS100V online. Your attention to detail was super as well. I purchased this camera about 9 months ago and like you, am still learning all it will do.
To say the least, I am a Sony fan and have been super pleased with it. Incredible how much processing power and video they pack into such a small package. Like you, I prefer the Sony to the GoPro, especially for the dollar spent.
Great job Sir.
You went over the top to produce this review & I appreciate it.
From the states in Connecticut, thank you. Carl.
Excellent review. I've had a HDR AS 30V for almost a year now and find the review makes me want upgrade. Thank you Techmoan
Thank you for taking the time to produce such an in depth review!!!
A very comprehensive video, after a long time I have finally made my choice in the area of action cameras, your video helped me a lot and covered topics other reviews almost never seem to touch at all. Thank you very much for this!
What an absolutely brilliant, through and useful review. Excellent work!
Probably the best review I've seen on YT so far! it was clear, up to the point... 5/5 Thank you!!
Impressing... the most easy, detailed, complete review ..... thanks for the effort and the quality of it....
Very good review. From what I've seen, this has got to be the best review on CZcams for this camera. I know, I've looked. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. More than enough information
Outstanding work. Very informative and helpful, thanks. Your summary at the end nailed the very issues that I would also prioritise for an action cam purchase.
This was a great video. I never watch full videos like this past the 5 minute mark but this was great. Might consider getting one of these cameras so thank you for your review and your video
Probably one of the best review videos I have seen! Your video is the reason why I bought this camera over the go pro 4. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the review. I was waiting to see a review of this camera and when I saw it was by you, that was a winner.
Btw I enjoyed the analogy of CZcams video quality educational section :)
Great video , thx man because of your pro review i bought as100v , good luck
Best review i've ever seen! Thanks, i'm definitely going to buy this camera. I wasn't convinced at all by the samples i found on youtube, but your review really helped me. Thanks!
Awesome review. Your video motivated me to move forward with my purchase of this action cam and I love it!! Couldn't be any happier. Thank you for covering all the basis. Cheers, from Los Angeles, Ca.
Just for the record. I was today handed out this same unit. Unused & unpacked.
Very informative video - brightened many aspects wondedred while waiting for batteries to load.
Oohh Yes! The review i've been waiting for!! Thank you for this!
Really brilliant review. I had been thinking this camera over for a while now and your review has really helped. Thanks ever so much!
Thank you for this I've had one of these for years and never used it. This will help me a lot.
Nice review. Really helped in deciding between this and goPro. Shall drop by the store tomorrow and bring this for my Aussie trip
Thanks for the great vid. Just ordered my camera and your review was a huge help in deciding which one to get. Appreciated.
What an excellent review! Thanks for the time and effort Techmoan!
aw11roman Thanks - I may get the 4K model soon to try out.
Brilliant video. Already own this camera and love it. You did teach me several little tricks though which is very much appreciated. Thanks.
i always like when there is a new video out
Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more about Sony HDR-AS 100V techniques in shooting videos.
Thank you so much for the video! I was thinking about buying this cam, and your video is the most detailed and complete I've found. Definetly going to buy it now :)
Thanks for the review, after watching a portion of this video I went out and bought one (although I already knew I was going to get this for a while). It also came with a bonus LCD unit which was awesome. An excellent camera which is better value than a gopro. So many handy features.
Excellent review.So far, it is the best I found on CZcams so I have subscribed to your channel.
Very good review as always! It looks very good, especially the steady shot.
Excellent review!! Was wanting a Hero 3+ Black, but this completely changed my mind!
Awesome review! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I video edit freelance and know how time consuming it is. Your work is very much appreciated.
Great video.You are both thorough and an excellent speaker with none of the irritating habits that most reviewers have. Keep them coming.
Thanks for a very good presentation - never thought I would see it through when I started to look and saw it was 34 mins
The best review i'd ever seen!
Great video and camera...Love the remote viewing feature. Loads of features and a pretty nice price. Will be getting, thanks.
Nice camera. I like the small size.
Beautifully explained thanks mate couldn't ask more brilliant
This is the most comprehensive and detailed review of any consumer action camera I've ever seen. Sony should put you on retainer for this review. Nicely done!
Possibly the best AS100V review out on the Tube. Hope you will be able to review the new AS200V and compare these two cameras
Very thorough review as usual. Thx!
I've been anxiously waiting for this review and I must say, I'm not disappointed, I've now decided that I WILL get one to replace the AS10 as a helmet cam which will replace the now aging ACT20 as the rear cam on my bike.
this is what i've been waiting for bro.. nice video
Best review on the Sony AS100. Thank you!!!
I'm not much for believing what I read and when I saw _Ultimate_ in the title of this video, I had my doubts. However you have renovated my faith in appropriately entitled content, Hurrah!
This is indeed the best review of this action camera I have yet seen.
Thanks so much for this awesome and very complete review.
Very nice job .
Thank you again.
Glad to see you doing this review.
You are the King.
This is an amazingly concise and informative video, very well done!
This test really helped to decide. Thanks
I am one of "those" people but I find your reviews quite sophisticated, informative and fun to watch...
Great detailed review and lots of helpful info on how it actually works. Thumbs up =)
Bought one tonight .Great information !
Excelent review! I'm now sure this is the camera for me to buy. Thanks!
Always great and interesting reviews. I'm not into action cams but I still enjoyed the video review.
Incredibly comprehensive... wow
Thanks for the thoroughly made review. Well done!
another awesome review.
thank you for that.
Fantastic real life and honest review thank you
Best action camera reviewer on youtube
Absolutely excellent review!
As always, really enjoyed your video, as does my mum who is in her seventies. Well done!
So far i'm loving my AS100v. Wasn't happy that I had to do some modifications to the skeleton case/lens in order to mount it to a helmet, but works great after all is said and done. Also want to note that they have iOS and Android apps that do everything the remote does(and are free). Sound quality with a cheap mic is amazing as well.
I'm getting one. Thanks for this review.
Excellent review, thank you.
I have this camera with accessories, and just thought I'd pass along a couple of tricks. The wrist mount can be made larger by adjusting the loops that go through the holes on each side. It can also be removed from the wrist strap and put on a lanyard using the side loop. The headstrap problem of being loose and sliding was easily fixed by opening the strap hodler (it slides up towards the two small dots after the screws are out) and adding a strip of fuzzy side velcro with sticky on the back. It adds just the right amount of friction to keep the camera from sliding around.
your videos are very useful and interesting, with good information and with images and video clips. Thanks again for a great video
Excellent presentation. Totally thorough. Perfectly clear. And, convinced me to acquire one. Thank you
Thanks a million for this review
Going to to buy one now
Congrats! You did very well. Thanks for all.
Great review, very thorough. Thanks!
Thanks man, very complete and useful video, and yes i'm watching this almost 4 years later haha
Awesome review and info. Thank you so much. very helpful and informative.
amazing info .. thanks :)
Very nicely done, and extremely useful. Thank you!
As always another great video. I am happy I have subscribe to your channel .
After watching your comprehensive review and couple others about the action cam I'm pretty much sold on the Sony.
Love your reviews. Good Job! Thanks!
Good review. I will go to this cam later on. Thanks
Excellent and very informative review.
Hello,
Congratulations once again for your review and thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Have you thought about making a review on any of the Nilox sport cams ??
Cheers!
Perfect review!
Thank you very much from Germany.
Great review! Thanks.
Most complet Camera Review ever saw
Good Job
Really good review video, Thanks!
What a superb review, thank you.
Thanks Techmoan!
Thanks for the review und the downloads.
Bought this little gem of a camera right when it was released, and just love it,Sony has announced the new 4k version the fdr -x1000 coming in march ! from what I read it will do loop recording and have manual exposure and white balance settings.
A year later then this video i bought this same kit for 350$ AUD on special at JB HiFi in Sydney Australia. Sometimes its best to wait a little bit if you know what you want exactly. And i agree with everything you said on your great review. Thank you for your effort.
Fantastic review - thorough with excellent quality production. Furthermore, this is the one camera on the market I've got my eye on, although i'm holding off in the hope of a non-grey import that doesn't include the wrist watch remote viewfinder thingamabob.
Excellent review of the AS100V, thank you. I was going to raise some points about the live-view remote, but then you covered the strap length at the end of you review...
The remote can control up to 5 cameras together (good if you have them slapped all over your car/body/etc). The format of the control protocol is also public from Sony, so in theory you could write your own applications to control this (and other) cameras.
Finally regarding the overlay - you can do your own, or even have the data embedded as subtitles (rather than within image, ie no re-encoding). See:
Sony HDR AS30V GPS data overlay
Good job, I always enjoy your videos,
Simon.
THANKS for the best test......
Excellent review, as always. Thank you very much :)
I've had my Sony HDR AS100VR for over a year now & I'm still impressed with it.
I use mine for cycling to/from work, just in case I'm involved in any incidents & I have a few examples of that on my channel already.
For all this time I've been using 25/50 fps & wasn't aware that I could change that mode, so thanks ever SO much for mentioning that in the video - even though I'm in a PAL country, I prefer 30/60fps mostly because these are the native modes of my editing software.
I have the Live Remote, but frankly I haven't used it since I got it...
The camera is used multiple times daily & I have it upside down in 'FLIP' mode, using the Sony helmet mount (that I've modified with some cable ties which works much better).
Like you, the deciding factor for me was the SteadyShot image stabilization - but even though it gives you a "swimming through jelly", I'd rather swim through jelly than bounce around like a ball-bearing...
The 'splash resistant' feature is very useful & all I have to do is check that the USB port is down & I can forget about concerns about water damage riding home in the rain.
We both agree that the Vivid mode is the best mode to shot in, especially in low light!
One of the videos on my channel - "When SatNav's go 'Rogue'..." - it really brought home how clear our eyesight is, compared to what the camera records. I could see a vehicle quite clearly a few hundred metres away, but the camera only saw the headlights as two dots.
This has led me to decide to get the Sony FDR-X1000V - I've not got it yet, however I plan to mount both action cam's on my helmet with the AS100V pointing back & the X1000V pointing forward. Two reasons being; a) front/rear filming, and; b) greater image quality on the front facing camera. I thought I saw you have the X1000V, is that right? Is that what you filmed the Square Nixie watch on???
...
Anyway, thanks again Techmoan. I don't believe I've seen this video before I made my purchase, but I'm a frequent viewer to the channel & wanted to give my thoughts on how I use mine.
I do have the X1000V...but I find it a bit of a missed step. Its bigger than the AS100, it runs hot, the menus are sluggish and there's too many options and settings to page through on the small screen. The battery also only lasts 55mins in 4K mode. See my latest Yi 4K action cam review to see how far the 4K cams have come. If you like the Sony form factor, wait for a new Sony, the X1000V isn't really deserving of your cash.
I imagine the X1000V would chew through batteries!
I see there's new V1.1 system software for the X1000V (27/4/2016). Perhaps that's addressed some of the issues you've experienced?
And yes, it was your new Yi 4K review that had me looking for the X1000V review on your channel & saw the AS100VR video...
The Yi 4K looks good, but without image stabilization at 4K there's no point (IMO)... Will consider waiting for a newer Sony... :)
Thanks for the reply!
I installed that firmware in April hoping that it would resolve the issues, and make it possible for me to recommend the camera. It just added XAVCs recording in a lower res mode, nothing else changed.
Aaaah... Now that's a shame! :(
Anamnesia How did you mount the camera to your bike/helmet?
35 minutes of review. Fuckk the best review if an camera that i see. Thanks a lot man it decide to me to buy it. Thanks again and very good work.
