I spend the last 2 hours watching a bunch of your cam reviews...all very well done, very informative, and really a pleasure to watch.
Lee Sagi Thanks - but too much of me can get irritating - just ask the missus.
I had ordered a "GeekPro 2.0" early today before watching your reviews on the "SJ4000 Wifi." I immediately canceled my order and ordered the "SJ4000." These are incredible reviews of a product and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this. I am very impressed with the performance of the camera based on your excellent review. Can't wait to get my camera.
Thanks SOOO much for all your reviews. I must have spent 7 hours looking through all of them to figure out which camera I wanted and finally decided on this one. And I am glad you provide the links as well because there seems to be quite a few people making cheaper copies of these SJCAM's as well! I had to search through 7 pages just to get to one with the correct markings. None the less I look forward to getting it in and again I thank you a ton for all the hard work and very thorough reviews!
Thank you for this comprehensive review (and the one for the non-WiFi SJ4000). the details you give and samples you show are a great help for many people. your work is greatly appreciated. i'll check back to your channel from time to time in hope of a review for a possible successor of the SJ4000.
In the last couple of weeks I've had a few people ask if the camera works without WiFi. That's one heck of an odd question. The answer is *of course* it works as normal *until you turn the WiFi on* at which point it works with WiFi on. See 11:45 to 12:30 where I use the camera functions including turning the camera on, start and stop recording and changing modes - all without turning WiFi on.
If you don't need WiFi I'd recommend the Dazzne P2 over the SJ4000 (with or without wifi) czcams.com/video/rDsuMd26wUI/video.html
+Techmoan
Do you think the Dazzne P2 will come with WiFi sometime soon?
+Mark Kanzler I got my SJ4000 from: www.gearbest.com/car-dvr/pp_60637.html?vip=76434 Right now you get 50% DISCOUNT and FREE SHIPPING!
+Techmoan I downloaded the wifi app to my smartphone, but when I try to install, it says can not open file. I downloaded the app to my desktop pc. I just downloads a video file, that it says can not be opened.
+Techmoan can you live stream it from camera over wifi, so you can view the stream online with your computer?
My sj4000 won't connect to my MacBook Pro, any ideas?
Ordered an SJ4000 Wifi because of this review. Thanks!
Dagley Media how is it
It's great. I now own 2 of them.
Hello dear friend, we are the seller of ebay store and amazon store. we are also the manufacturer. we develop the sport action camera. we have a new product recently. This is the link: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=391653002640&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT if you are interested, pls contact with us. Thank you very much
What an amazing review. I've spent a number of evenings recently watching Techmoan s camera reviews. It was only this detailed series of videos that gave me the confidence to purchase an SJ4000 wifi. I'm very pleased with it. Thank you very much!
Thankyou for the in depth review, I was able to watch the entire clip without nodding off like I often feel like doing with some reviews, nice one :)
I noticed you have one of the new iOS devices. Do you plan to do a review? I know there's thousands out there but I always find your reviews to be the most honest and useful.
I agree would love to see a phone review👍😎
Yes I happened to see that iPhone 6+ humm
reddragon27284 There's not much to say, it's like my old phone but bigger and with a fingerprint reader. I bought it because my eyesight has been deteriorating over the last year and I needed an IOS phone with a bigger screen. One additional benefit is that it will look better when I'm demonstrating an app (as in this video).
LOL... "successd"
However, I noticed "Techloan" on the overlay as well (ROTFL)
***** You'll see this issue explained in the video.
Techmoan
Yeah, I should have waited to the end of the vid to comment -- but I still love the fact that the camera inflicts bad spelling even on the things you correctly type in. Brilliant! :-)
***** It's the weirdest bug I've seen in a camera - but not the most serious.
LOL. saw the techloan spelling error as well.. but decided to wait if there was an explanation in the video. And of course there was! really weird bug indeed.
antiekeradio
Les, it's a Lery strange eLLor indeeL :-)
Thanks very much for this. Excellent review and I'm a fan of the dry humour! I'll be getting this for Xmas so looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks for taking the time to create an excellent and comprehensive review. Much appreciated.
So what kind of interest rates do you charge, Techloan?
Alfred van Kuik Most of my deals start off with a very high rate of interest at the beginning, but then this starts to reduce quickly after the first couple of minutes and then the interest levels drop off towards the 30 minute point and I usually get a very low return on my investment.
Techmoan ((xD hahahaha
"There's a lot of nutbags out there on CZcams" never a truer word spoken, thanks for keeping it sane in this corner at least :)
Thanks very much for taking the time to produce such a comprehensive guide. I can't wait to get out on the slopes next week and try this out!
Alan Price Have fun.
i really enjoy your videos, they are very informative and your rants are funny :3
Matt you have the new iPhone
joshua cutting Really?
yes
does anyone else thinks he sounds like James May? 😀
All english sound likes this you fool.
A bit of a sweeping statement there. There are lots of different English accents. Techmoan has a rather nasally Mancunian accent as you would expect when you see where he shoots all his videos. James May is definitely not from Manchester. He is originally from Bristol but I worked there for 20 years and can't really detect a Bristolian accent in his accent. He is just generally well-spoken with no real discernable accent.
+Claudio Diaz Excuse me, I'm British, and I know a lot of British people. we don't all sound the same you dummy.
@@DrLoverLover You're three years too late boss 😂
I bought one of these after watching your review. I just received it today. I am very pleased with it. A great camera for the price. I am very satisfied.
Such a great in depth video! Answered all the questions I had, seriously considering on picking one up.
You are really good at this. I guess that's why you get to test all these wonderful toys. Keep up the good work.
You are a great presenter and reviewer and funny! Made me want one so I ordered it. We shall see. Thanks for taking the time to create this.
Thanks for the review, I've just ordered one after downloading the raw footage. Can't believe I have never come across this brand before as I have been trying to keep an eye on action cameras for about a year. Cheers
Fantastic review! Thanks a lot! Just got the SJCAM SJ4000 without Wifi, going to test it out this weekend when we go to the Philippines.
Bro, you have by far the best English(if not all language) review of this camera, helped my decide what camera to buy, Thanks!
Love you're content! Such an original reviewer👍
Your reviews are the best! Great humour.
Your humour cracks me up, it's great, keep it up.
Your reviews are exceptional, informative, refreshing and funny. Great job. Even though this is over 2 years old, it helped me to make a decision on today's product. Great tip on the SJ5000. I had no idea. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together.
I've just bought one of these and looking forward to using it. Like your review by the way.
I'm impressed with the work you put into this review. Thank you!
Cheers plenty
great review very thorough and humorous banter which is always a must
Great review...you also helped me set up and learn the basics on how to use it. Thanks so much
Wow you're review is very helpful. Covered all the details and confusion. Well for me at least. I ordered one of these. It should be here tomorrow. Thanks.
Quick questions, does the camera has a settings using which the recording continues by deleting old footage unless i stop it?
Thanks for the review seen both and nice to see there is a difference between videos even though no huge changes in the camera, thanks for the tip about lighting change and firmware updates
I bought my Sj4000 after your video! For $89 US. I have used it for wood working and for fishing videos. Has a hard time filming inside as there was not enough light! Absolutely love my sj4000! Thank you!!!! I like the wifi... But I may wait for one with higher resolution before I go for another new purchase... Great review!
Thanks for this long reviews :) love them!! is there more coming soon?
Gr8 vid. I'm from Manchester myself though live in USA now. Nice to see some shots of it. Good description of the camera and it's functions. Been thinking about getting one of these and making some better videos for my channel. Thanks for the info!
@techmoan thanks for your reviews. I'm new to the action camera thing and looking for one for my 4 year old daughter and your videos on the sj4000 and go pro are very informative and answered every question and more with video for our own judgement. thanks heaps.
Excellent video review of the camera. Good work. Thanks !
Great review and nice tips, also luv your banter.. well done and thanks :)
PERFECT, BRILLIANT video for a newbie like myself being new at the mounts. Much thanks indeed for the help on software as well! Cheers !
Great review buddy. Contemplating getting it coz of this review.
One thing though. That's the design on the Tram (the circles)
Thanks once again for a fantastic review. You've become one of the few places where I can be certain to get an accurate, thorough, enjoyable review. I've been noticing more sarcasm lately than in your reviews from a couple years ago, which is totally understandable and actually adds a bit to the entertainment factor. I can't imagine the sheer volume of stupid comments you have to wade through on a daily basis. Keep up the great work!
you did really good review, its help me a lot to choose the right action cam for me
Great review. It covers all that I'm looking for to know. Thank you.
You're the N°1 reviewer ... Keep it going and greets from Portugal.
Really enjoy your videos, especially the comments. I may need a techloan in the future.
Nice to meet you in WH Smith on Friday. Excellent review, as always.
Yes, it was a pleasure to meet you too.
Thanks for the review, very handy. You wooed me into buying one of these cameras lol.
Wow! Extremely helpful review. Thanks for it!
Subscribed!
such a great review! love it! very convincing to buy this camera... thanks mate :)
Techmoan, I just wanted to say I've purchased two cameras based off of your reviews and I haven't had any regrets. You have the best reviews on the interwebs. Thank you for you knowledgeable video reviews.
@Terry Carter - I already reviewed it Transcend Drivepro 200 Car Recorder Dashcam - Full Review
Can you tell me the best variant for a GoPro? (arround +-120€)
xXMaxpaynaXx gopro is going to release an entry-level GoPro about 130usd
The entry-level is better than this one?
not sure because it will release in oct 5.We Have to wait someone to do a comparison video.
xXMaxpaynaXx
Looks like the gopro entry-level has a decent 1080p30 and 720p60 video, but 5MP photos is ridiculously low compared to any current camera or even smartphone. No WiFi, but who cars about it and what's the real use of WiFi on a action cam?
Amazing man , a proper review- really helpful 😁
I was SO on the fence about buying a GOPro then I saw these Budget action cameras on Amazon.com Thanks to your video I am absolutely sure I made the right purchase! Thanks so much for posting this it really helped me out!
I find your review videos very helpful thank you.
Awesome video!!!
All the important informations are included,
Very very thank you!
Damn....your video filmed in the Arndale makes me miss UK so much! But loving your review! Now need to see who supplies one here in Hong Kong. lol
your videos are great and i love your sense of humour :')
Very nice review, many data and explanations . Thanks :)
excellent review, very professional. cheers mate!
Great review Tech!
Good job! Thank you... I just bought one. My boys took it to the pool with them, they were jumping, diving, swimming, etc I'm not too worried unless I spend a bomb on the action cam. So yeah..great review! I've watched your previous videos too (before I made my purchase)
I bought the wifi version because( I'm impatient) I prefer to straight away transfer the videos and pics my phone and edit with iMovie and upload into my instagram/fb account while I'm still at the pool or cafe.. And then later I transfer the whole video to my computer when I'm at home. Hahaha!
The Techmoan to Techloan was hilarious!! Your videos makes me wanna visit Manchester. Been there once back in autumn 1998, visited the Old Trafford. Anyways, have a great weekend!
Man you are GOOD. A lighthearted video with a lot of helpful information. Better than any Chinglish manual...
Hey Techmoan, what are your settings for those night scenes? I use my SJ1000 for filmmaking and I want to get one of these real soon instead Thanks.
Well well well. I have watched lots of vids on lots of items.
Is this vid and review a good one??
Oh yes it is. Excellent from start to finish. Lots of information.
A steady filming. Answers all your questions.
Great.
I have ordered one on eBay for use on my motor bike.
I am also going to Greece in May 2015 and will certainly use it under water.
Again great review and vids.
Thanks.
HI thanks mate luved all your info ,well done on this review ...
As usual, amazing review....
I enjoyed your review and particularly your sense for humour. Subscribe!
Techmoan
Have you had any issues with videos being scrambled? try to do some videos and when I finish recording, it says "No file" in the preview zone. Plug it into the PC, open it, there is a video file there and all that comes through on media players is like a horrible scrambled white noise and no video footage, tried latest firmware update, formatting the card and it still does it every now and again. Any ideas?
I was just about to buy a GoPro Hero4, think I will invest in one of these instead, thanks for the good review. BTW what bike are you riding?
+scoutthedoggie If you'd like to buy the newer version that is equal or better than the gopro you can get the SJCAM SJ5000X Elite Action Camera
+Clondo CS Thank you for the reply. But I bought a go pro. However I will be buying one of these, because I need a few for the type of filming I am doing.
Could anyone tell me how I turn the volume up on the camera? When playing back videos the volume is so low and the side buttons only fast forward and rewind the video, and I can't find anything in the menus regarding volume. Thanks
Just an FYI. There IS an SJ5000 that is made by SJCAM. And it is an upgraded camera to the 4000.. I recently purchased a pair of
SJ5000 WIFI cameras and the ARE SJCAMs they even have the SJCAM logo on them. And they are a brilliant upgrade of the 4000. AND the anti-shaking DOES work in video mode. If you notice when he has the camera on the handlebars of his motorcycle there is noticeable vibration. Well, I use mine regularly on my ATV and with the anti-shaking on there is virtually no noticeable vibration, even when riding extremely aggressively. Both the SJ4000 WIFI and the SJ5000 WIFI are excellent action cams.
Freaking love your channel this is a new camera I'm getting for my skating and blogs
Great review! Just wondering, the wifi's purpose is just like bluetooth right?
Very good. Thank you for that. I've just bought one of these and I'm looking forward to trying it out :-)
Can the go pro use like a selfie video? Sorry for my lame question coz i have not using it his gadget yet
Hello Techmoan! Love your reviews and always look forward to new ones. Have you reviewed the Xiaomi Yi sports cam? If not, is a review coming up? Thanks in advance!
THIS!!! Please please review this! I have one on the way :)
toysareforboys Have you received it yet? Perhaps you can do the review. :-)
***** I haven't, it's on the slow boat from China :( And I'll be using it on my motorcycle on the racetrack once it stops snowing here :(
toysareforboys Cool. Hope you get it soon and the weather improves. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. In the video comparison I saw it performed better than the SJ4000 and SJ5000, but nothing beats an unbiased review.
A really good formal no messing about video thanks.
hi, one of the most enjoyable and informative videos ever, no ummms and errs, top job
Thank you for going to so much work in your review. I have been looking at the SJ4000 to mount on my quadcopter. I am not willing to drop the coin on a go pro this helps a lot! :)
Just bought one without wifi, and this guide helped a lot :)
U wot m8?
Thanks for the review! Can't wait to bring mine to the pool.
Hey Techmoan, what SD card did you use with this in your clips? Thanks--
you have awesome reviews thanks
Thanks a lot i tried for hours to see a cheap camera action cam with good quality! I love your videos super well made, but I have a question does the camera have timelapse mode thanks a lot man your the best:-)
Nice review sir!
Thank you for an amazing review!!
Excellent video! This changed my mind away from buying a go pro for nearly 3x the price. Looks like a very capable little camera
Very helpful review, thanks !
Useful video, thanks for taking the time.
I'm pretty sure that short clip you downloaded was Manchester Arndale?
On topic I'm interested in getting of these for my helmet after being knocked off once already.
Thanks for you work. This video help me a lot.
Awesome video Matt !! Thank you very much, and as always, ill keep watching :)
Excellent review
Nice work!
Do you know which chip is used for recording videos?
Best regards, M.
Looks like youre driving through the isle of man, is that where you filmed? I love the TT race.
I saw also in previous vid that you're not sure about the longer leg. I found myself that its for chest harness, where the clicky side of te leg goes backwards and then turns up to attach the camera to the harness.
