I feel like you shouldn’t be allowed to call something “Extreme X Action”. It’s like you are trying to over hype it. Just make it Xtreme Action and be done.
@cinoclav I had a home burglary back in October, and one of the items stolen was a bag containing one of my drones and all of my action cameras (including two GoPros). So this is the first step in rebuilding my camera stock.
@cinoclav Ha! I had a Samsung 4-camera video surveillance system. They traced the cables and stole the DVR!!! They also unplugged my modem/router and ripped the wires out of the wall.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… burglars suck!
@ruouttaurmind Been there. Years ago someone broke into my apartment and stole about $2000 worth of stuff. The only items I really wish they hadn’t stolen were my record collection.
@boygenius1991 Aye, you may speak the truth, but some folks are skiddish about strapping their cell phone to their helmet while skiing, water skiing, off road racing, cycling, or whatever.
I need a camera that records constantly and keeps the full card’s worth of video when you stop it like a dashboard cam. Does this do that or stop when the card is full?
@mikehoxard I had a Vivitar DVR787HD purchased from Walmart for $35 that had the feature you describe. In fact, it included features specifically designed for dashcam capability. Endless loop recording, image flip, auto-record on power-up, etc.
The model has been discontinued, but there’s still an ample supply of them out there for around $30-$40. That particular camera did 1080p/60, but if you don’t care about 60fps, the Vivitar DVR 786HD has all the came capabilities, but only 30fps. Those are in more plentiful supply. Finally, there’s a 720p model which seems to be easily had for $25-$30.
Includes 8GB microsd card, compatible with up to 32GB

What kind of battery has it got, and is it replaceable? No charging cable or port is mentioned. Or does it use alkaline/rechargeable AAs or AAAs? I can’t find this anywhere. The manufacturer doesn’t even seem to exist anymore outside of a Facebook page.
@Dweezle The review @UltraV21 posted below has the reviewer taking out battery (look at about 4:10 point of video). Rechargeable, but no clue what type of battery that is. Any ideas from others?
I got the red 1080 version the best model at my local mardens for 25.00 so I bought a few for my drones and my other projects. For 25.00 and all it’s amazing. My go pro is not much better .to be honest i would rather dave 600 .00 and have a lil less quality on my camera tbat i can deal with bit 600.00 I can. It alot if other shizzzznit with. N not get bored n want a new camera 6 months down the rd and only able to sell the go pro for 100.00 probably . Goprp is over priced for the name u also get all the mounts and com extra with migear. And I get a wrist co grillers for the vids and pics.u get the waterproof case the auto suction cup handle bar mounts and tons of others. With the 2 sided 3m tape. A bag and a nice thick plastic clear case to store it in till get a nicer one. Game with a men card n all kinds of stuff . Probably one of the better deals I have ever god except for a 100.00 hopper with a 75.00 coupon. On 5.00 off Friday lmao
My table is a basic one from Ikea, can you confirm what specs I need to stream to it?
@Potatoboy That feature is only compatible with natural wood tables, so if you’ve got a metal and glass table like the GRANÅS or Vilmar it won’t work.
I feel like you shouldn’t be allowed to call something “Extreme X Action”. It’s like you are trying to over hype it. Just make it Xtreme Action and be done.
@lichme I believe Xtreme is a TM for Coleman’s action camera line.
@ruouttaurmind I bet it was originally called the Extreme X, then somebody got a brilliant idea.
@lichme I like to think it’s a math problem. Extreme X Action = Rad Video Awesomeness!
@djslack Yep. Two Xs short a full load.
@mike808
/image i see what you did there
Still enamored with my Midland camera I got here a while back.
So, can I use this for non-X rated videos?
@khearn No. There has to be at least one to three X’s. preferably 3.
Found a review:
@UltraV21 thanks!
@UltraV21 Yah, saw that one. It’s a different model if you look around the lens area.
If only I didn’t just get a GoPro Session yesterday.
BTW, I can’t thank you enough, @cinoclav!
@ruouttaurmind Couldn’t be happier to have helped! Scoring one was good, getting it to someone who wanted it even more was great.
@cinoclav I had a home burglary back in October, and one of the items stolen was a bag containing one of my drones and all of my action cameras (including two GoPros). So this is the first step in rebuilding my camera stock.
@ruouttaurmind If only you had some cameras recording to a remote server that would’ve helped catch the bastard(s).
@cinoclav Ha! I had a Samsung 4-camera video surveillance system. They traced the cables and stole the DVR!!! They also unplugged my modem/router and ripped the wires out of the wall.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… burglars suck!
/giphy burglars suck
@ruouttaurmind Been there. Years ago someone broke into my apartment and stole about $2000 worth of stuff. The only items I really wish they hadn’t stolen were my record collection.
@cinoclav HaHa good advise. You can’t on my property without being recorded. That’s the way things are nowadays
did you know phones have cameras in them now?
@boygenius1991 Aye, you may speak the truth, but some folks are skiddish about strapping their cell phone to their helmet while skiing, water skiing, off road racing, cycling, or whatever.
@ruouttaurmind 1991 . . . Shit, he’s old enough to know everything.
@Pavlov
@ruouttaurmind and its “skittish” not “skiddish”. Sorry but I could not help myself…
@rustyh3 I blame Siri, as she was writing what I dictated.
@ruouttaurmind Well then, stop mumbling.
The wifi in these suck. Keeps disconnecting. Sucks the battery enough to make it not worth using.

Groupon has for $60 with free returns. https://www.groupon.com/latest-deals/gg-migear-extremex-1080p-wifi-action-camera-with-mounting-equipment
Meh.
@t3hn4t3 And they even have 1 review for it there: “Rajesh D. Verified Purchaser Jul 3rd, 2017
Screen is to small”
So the screen went to small. I hear it’s lovely there.
@t3hn4t3 selling like hotcakes as well. Been there since before July 3rd and they’ve sold “10+”.
No wonder Irk is so irked all the time…

Sounds like the other ones I have…
I got this for my dad who flies model airplanes. Did I make the right purchase?
@m05ch Ask your dad. The one who flies model airplanes.
@m05ch well, if you get a good wind-up it might get some distance, but it doesn’t have wings out of the box
@m05ch I don’t know your dad but I bet he’s more into model airplanes.
@awk @pavlov @ehsfoewa smart asses. I was asking if is ideal for said hobby
@m05ch I’d wager your dad would know. Particularly, the one who flies model airplanes.
@Pavlov He should ask the dad who doesn’t fly model airplanes, so the surprise isn’t ruined for the dad who flies model airplanes.
@m05ch Insufficient information, agent M05CH. I can think of at least 6 different ways a camera could be used by a DWFMA.
@awk if DWFMA straps X camera to Model#1 would it = XTREME? More importantly, would there be backlash from DWDNFMA?
*asking for a friend
@m05ch So, what did your dad say? Specifically, the one who flies model airplanes.
No reviews at Amazon, and they’ve been selling it since January, 2016 …
?
Must be a pretty unremarkable item (assuming they sold any…)
@phendrick Or it comes with a really unstable battery.
If I didn’t still have a couple of nabi squares I’d buy one of these. Like that it has Wi-Fi but not sure the video is a lot better than the nabi.
I found it hard to read brown fonts on a butterscotch background so I voted meh…sorry
Not much of a video review but there it is. (Based on the google hits this camera seems to have been sold in Australia.)
@RedOak There are other sample recordings on youtube but they appear to be from a non-wifi model.
@RedOak Aw crap - so the video is all going to be upside down?
Any mention of low light or meh light performance?
How does video stream to a table? This must be an exciting new technology…smart tables!
What kind of battery has it got, and is it replaceable? No charging cable or port is mentioned. Or does it use alkaline/rechargeable AAs or AAAs? I can’t find this anywhere. The manufacturer doesn’t even seem to exist anymore outside of a Facebook page.

What would you expect, a 60" screen for viewing?

Powers that be, GIF me!
Been looking for a basic and affordable alternative to paying a king’s ransom for a GoPro. This seems like a nice little camera, so here goes nothing.
I got the red 1080 version the best model at my local mardens for 25.00 so I bought a few for my drones and my other projects. For 25.00 and all it’s amazing. My go pro is not much better .to be honest i would rather dave 600 .00 and have a lil less quality on my camera tbat i can deal with bit 600.00 I can. It alot if other shizzzznit with.
