the picture is great but it needs a stabilizer on it. I have one and it is okay for what I use it for on my catrike trike. Thanks for sharing.
Hi
And thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech, and you are very welcome.
If you need to add stabilization to the video, a good video editing app such as PowerDirector is very good, but it does crop the image in a little so be aware of that.. or you can buy a stabilization gimbal and mount that to your trike ;).
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel, and I do have loads of tech such as more action cameras and vlogging equipment to do as soon as I get my new studio sorted out and finished.
Kindest regards

Cheers for the video. Do you know if when plugged into a computer without a micro-sd will it work as a webcam.
Hi
And a big thank you for watching my channel.
Tbh I don't actually know, but I will give it a go myself once I'm back home for you.
Thanks again for your comment and support

Does Wi-Fi hook to that can you go live on that GoPro
I have a cam like this and I can't get good results indoors, the image is unbalanced, between whites and shadows... while I use other cams the light is excellent!
Do you have any suggestions for settings for a better image?
Hi
And thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech
Sadly the poor quality that you will get indoors, is because of the tiny sensor that this Action camera has, and even expensive action cameras like the GoPro Action cameras can suffer from poor quality in an indoor filming situation.
The only Action camera that I had, that gave a passable image quality indoors, was the insta360 one Rs 1 inch edition (point to shoot) as that has the 1-inch sensor
I had to rig up 4 of the Insta360 one rs 1-inch edition (point to-shot) cameras to my uncle's drum set a year ago, and I found that as long as you have some good lighting, you can get away with it, with very good quality footage...
The other camera that I gave him to use was the insta360 one RS 360 edition 6K (This is a full 360 camera) which he only needed the one camera, to do the job of the 4 insta360 one 1inch edition (point to-shoot) cameras.
Try a good-quality selfie light and see if that makes any difference.
Again thanks for watching and supporting my channel, I will be doing some action cameras and lighting on there soon, so that might help
Kindest regards

Can it send videos direct to your iPhone? I have one but never used and not sure whether to just sell and get a GoPro. But if I can send the pics and vids to my phone I may give it a shot.
Hi
Thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech
Yes, the Aperxcam does, indeed, download all the video clips/photos directly to your mobile phone, but you will need the dedicated app to do this.
I will be very honest with you though, it will take some time for the videos to download to the phone, which can be quite frustrating.
Saying that, I will say that, all of my other budget action cameras such as, Surfola, WOlFANG, SJCAM, and even The latest Action cameras from Akaso, also take the same amount of time to get the videos downloaded to a phone, so it must be another reason why they are cheaper than the more expensive, GoPro, Insta360 and DJI Action cameras.
As the Aperxcam has no stabilisation of any kind, I would suggest that you keep the camera static and probably best on a tripod. Otherwise, you will get shaky footage unless you purchase a Gimbal stabilizer, in which case you might as well just purchase an action camera that has built-in stabilisation.
For the price, though, it's not too bad but I do highly recommend the Surfola sf530, as it does a great job in stabilisation and video quality and done better job (in my opinion) than the Akaso Brave 7LE that cost twice as much.
Plus, with the Surfola SF530, you not only get loads of accessories bundled in, but you also get a wireless lavalier microphone bundled in, which not only gives excellent sound quality, but gives you the freedom to move around away from the camera if you wish.
Here is the Amazon link for the Surfola SF530

The remount control not working
Hi
Thank you for watching my channel Lets Talk Tech
Have you tried to change the battery, in the remote control as you should have a spare battery in the box.
Many thanks for watching and supporting my channel

What's the photo quality like
Hi
And thank you for taking the time to watch this content regarding the Apexcam 4k action camera on Lets Talk Tech.
The honest answer to your question is that the photo quality is quite appalling if I'm perfectly honest with you (even though the day was a dark and very bleak day) but the main video quality is reasonably quite good in 4k@30fps even though it has no stabilisation.
The day that I reviewed the Apexcam was on a very dark thundery day, so the camera had that against it, along side the fact that I do think that the device that I was using might have been slightly on the faulty side, due to the lens somehow placing the subject to one side in 1080p, 2.7k (didn't try it on 720p) even though perfectly lined up with the lens itself, (but the subject was perfectly alined when in the 4k resolution)
I will possibly be doing a second review on the Apexcam once the weather brightens up, and I might even replace the camera with a new one (just to make it fair)
Again, thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech
the camera seems to record in 3 min increments is there a way to change that or does it to be edited and what is a good editing tool. I am very new to this and this is my first camera. i liked you help very much
Hi
And thank you for watching and Subscribing to Lets Talk Tech
The best way to solve this is to, format the sd card that you are using in the camera to exFAT via a pc/laptop ... if you reformat the sd card via the camera itself then it'll just format to FAT32 which you don't want unless you just want to do short clips of just 3 to 4 mins in length
My Dji Action 2 camera used to do this which was a pain, even though it used to carry on recording but on a new file, that occasionally had a second or 2 of missed footage due to the new file being in place
FAT32 was initially designed for older machines and will only hold storage of 4GB each time
exFat however will continuously record to the full size of the sd card without interference and this is the format that you will need.
The editing tool that I use is the PowerDirector app on my phone, as I can edit anywhere and don't have to worry about carrying my laptop around it also contains free none copyrighted music that you can use without worrying about breaking any copyright rules, especially if you are posting the video up on CZcams/Instagram/TicTok or Facebook short clips... but there are some good and free editing software around to download via apps on your phone or to a pc/laptop, trial is the best way as everyone is different in how they like the layout of the editing software
If you need any more help then please post it in the comments.
Again thanks for taking the time to watch Lets Talk Tech ... I do have another few budget Action cameras that I'll be unboxing and reviewing that might be of some interest to you.
Kindest regards

Neither stabilization worked good so that’s not for me
