APEMAN Dash Cam With 1080P FHD 170°Wide Angle WDR Camera

This dash cam arrived in a nice black branded box with the camera part in a separate black box with removable protectors on both the front and back screen and protected with bubble wrap, the second box contained the manual, a short and long mini USB charging cable, cigarette adapter and a choice of two fitting mounts.


This has a nice glass display screen rather than the plastic ones on a lot of dash cams, I think it depends on your preference and always a bit of a trade-off, with the smaller more covert dash cams you have a tiny display but are easier to tuck behind the rear view mirror and forget about but then you are not able to see the live footage or the larger screen ones good for live footage. This is a bit in between the two, the screen is small but it has a very clear glass display so can go behind the rear view mirror or in a more visible area for viewing.


After giving the manual a good read through it was time to set it up, I added a video going through the menu with day time and night time driving, using the mini HDMI socket you are able to display to a TV screen or monitor which I did and recorded it going through the menu, please forgive the picture being slightly at an angle on the menu and you should also note the video will degrade when uploaded due to Amazons optimisation process with the original footage being of far higher quality. The menu system is very simple to navigate and most of the options are self-explanatory or fully explained in the manual.


This comes with two different types of fitting system, a windscreen sucker fitting system or a base that fits to the dashboard of your car, I decided to fit it with the sucker system although with the wide angle recording you can fit it just about any place you like on the screen and it will capture everything, in the video I show some motorway driving and you have a full view of all lanes including the hard shoulder.


The record quality is superb and I have grabbed a couple of screen shot which give a better idea of the quality, I tested the parking monitor by rocking the car and that kicked in and worked well, I also tested the G-sensor function with some hard breaking which also worked very well and the linking it up to your TV or monitor works great although you should be aware you need a mini HDMI to normal HDMI lead to do this (not supplied).

  • High Definition The FHD 1080P definition providing high resolution video,with the superior G-sensor function, supporting insurance claims to prove an incident, preventing disputes.
  • Excellent Functions The parking monitor can record a urgent video when it detect movement on the shut down mode and the motion detection helps you to record the video automatically when it detects motion and the loop recording helps you to save the latest video when the SD card is full, avoid data missing.
  • Advanced Features The 3 inch LCD allows you to view the clear and bright video in the camera, the 170 wide viewing angle allows you to shooting a wider vision video.
  • Qualified guarantee With built-in Lithium Polymer battery, the dash cam can perform better. Both Car charging or USB charging is available for the power supply.
  • Easy to use It is easy to use with the external buttons, suitable for all families. When you meet urgent problem you can press the emergency save button to lock the video. Support 4G-32G TF card.

- Very high quality footage
- Comes well packed and protected in a bespoke branded box
- Very clear and easy to follow manual

What I Didn’t Like

- The manual could do with being larger print but being really picky with that and more an observation than a flaw as it’s easy to follow.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a very nice dash cam with very high quality capture, loads of features and functions, the glass screen gives a very nice and clear display and with the wide angle recording you can fit this any place you want to on the screen. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone: Android/Iphone


This is a pretty cool gadget.

Feature packed with all manner of applications, it takes the concept of home karaoke to a new level.
Bluetooth this to any device and the sounds come through the speaker.
load an SD card with your favourite songs, or tune it to an fm radio station and again, your music is delivered through a very nice, loud, bass optimized speaker. With a memory card installed, you can even use it as a mass storage device, which saves you having to fiddle about with adding/removing memory cards.

It will also make and receive phone calls through it, as long as you install the BT dialer app from the appropriate source.

 

You can also view video or pictures on the small, brightly lit, touch responsive screen, but of course, lets not forget the Karaoke.

I'm not great, unless I'm drunk, then I am the Karaoke king...
I loaded up a song on youtube, bluetoothed the mike to my tv and began to warble.

I'll apologise in advance for my singing... It's meant for review purposes, rather than critique.

All in all, this is a very clever device. It does so much more than I realised when I got it - Perfect for those "pass the mike" moments

I got this to use with my Android box which comes with a controller but it does not have a keyboard and the range is very poor something a lot of Android box remote controls seem to suffer from.

I first tested it in my desktop PC and everything worked as it should no messing about just plug and play so I then moved it to my Android box and again plug and play, the keyboard works very well and the simple design front of the controller panel works great and not filled with buttons you don’t need and will never use.


I have added a short video showing me using it on my Android box and hopefully the quality won’t degrade too much when it goes through Amazons optimisation process.

Very nice discreet compact dash cam, this arrived in a small box with all the bits you need to be up and running apart from a Micro SD card which you have to supply yourself, it is fitted with an adhesive attachment pad and also comes with a spare should you wish to relocate the camera.


The manual is very good and clear with instructive diagrams included and contains a QR code to scan so you can install the phone app, setting it up is very simple, it contains a multitude of different options and features some of which can be adjust using the phone application, the menu system is easy to navigate and most options are self-explanatory.


I formatted a 16GB Micro SD card and fitted the camera just to the right of the rear view mirror, this fits nice and snug to the window and is very secure. The camera powers on when you start the car and starts recording and also worth adding the cigarette connector gives you the addition of two USB ports, the display is very clear and you also have the option of turning the screen off or having a screen saver kick in after a set time adjustable in the menu.


I recorded the menu system hopefully showing how easy it is to navigate and I went on to record some day and night time driving, please don’t take this as the quality of the recording as Amazon optimises uploaded video’s and they lose a great deal of quality, I have taken a couple of screen shot pictures and added them along with the video to give a better idea of quality.


The recording quality both day and night is superb and the wide angle covers both sides of the road including paths and side roads, you can place the camera at any point on the top of the windscreen and with the wide angle recording it will still capture everything, the phone application works very well and very simple to set up connecting to the WiFi once you download the app and allows you to change a few settings on the camera without going through the menu system.

Bluetooth Retro Noise-cancelling Headphones

These arrived in a nice black box which when opened had a black zip sided case containing the headset, the first thing I did was to try them on as I have a big head, not in an arrogant sort of way although some might disagree but as in rather larger than the average and these fit perfectly with the slider adjustment on the side meaning they will fit the smallest right through to the largest head and are nice and snug on the ears.


I used the supplied lead to put them on charge while I gave the manual a good read through, this was a small book containing five languages with English being the first so no searching through to find it, although very small this manual has very clear and easy to read print (not always the case) and small diagrams with all the points on the headphones numbered and identified so very easy to follow.


Once I had fully charged the headphones it was time to start them up and I decided to do a short video of this process from the start with paring to my iPhone 6 and playing a bit of music off youtube, this hopefully shows how simple and easy the pairing process is and please forgive the quality as when you upload to Amazon the optimisation system they use does tend to degrade the video quality somewhat.


I found the sound quality superb with excellent noise cancelling feature, I wanted to test the pairing with two devices at the same time so I used my daughters iPad mini and all worked as it should, I am not sure I will ever use this function but if I ever need to I can. I tested the taking a phone call while in use and this works flawlessly with very clear quality, cutting the music straight to the ringing and as soon as the phone call is complete automatically cutting straight back to the music.

  • MADE FOR SUPERIOR HEAD COMFORT: Have hours of your favorite songs thanks to large ear cups hugging your ears and soft cushion band resting gently over your head. Extend the headband to suit even the largest heads
  • CLASSY METAL-LEATHER RETRO DESIGN: Made using lightweight metal alloy and high-quality leather, with a unique rotary control knob adds classic styling
  • IMMERSIVE APTX AUDIO EXPERIENCE: Leather ear cup creates an isolated listening space and stops outside noise, you get nothing but pure, CD-quality audio for your ears
  • IMPRESSIVE 20-HOUR PLAYTIME: Bluetooth 4.1 improves signal stability and battery efficiency. Listen to music or talk with friends for up to 20 hours (up to 400 songs)
  • TALK WITH CVC NOISE CANCELATION: New CVC6.0 technology reduces environmental noise and makes the phone call quality clear even at noisy places. You enjoy high-quality, hands-free phone call for hours

What I liked
*************
- The retro style design
- Sound cancelling feature
- Superb sound
- Very easy to set up
- Nice zip case for storage
- Smooth transition when taking a phone call
- Twenty hour playtime from a single charge
- Very comfortable and easily adjustable

What I Didn’t Like
******************
- These really deliver so I haven’t found anything not to like but if anything comes up I will edit and add it.

Really great headphones with superb sound, retro design that have great adjustment and are very comfortable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Solar Motion Sensor Light - 21 Bright LED Solar Powered

I purchased this for as a security light for my outside shed, the area is extremely dark at night with very little lighting dotted around so wanted something to illuminate the area if anyone approached it at night, unfortunately there is no power to the shed so needed something solar powered.


The fitting is very simple and straight forward and only took about 10 minutes start to finish, the instructions are clear, easy to follow and all written in English. This light has three main settings and off altogether, I tested them all but the setting I wanted was motion sensor mode so the light was off apart from a small blue LED light and illuminated when someone approached, this works really well and is extremely bright.


Selecting the mode is a very simple button press and the mode it is in is indicated by a small corresponding LED on the panel, I have added a very short video to show it in use, I apologise in advance for the quality I found it very difficult to film and impossible to show the menu selection although I did try.

  • [Solar energy] 21 Bright LED bulb powered by solar, daytime charging automatically starts working at night.
  • [Motion Sensor] Motion sensor (PIR) when it detects someone passing through it will Auto ON
  • [3 Modes] A. Sensor+Dim light B. Sensor+OFF C. Always On(Dim light). A process of fade-in prevent your eyes from strong light.
  • [Wireless] Easy to install, can be used in garden, wall, door, balcony, yard, stairs and other places.
  • [Simple Design] Simple and nice design. Small but Powerful function
What I liked
*************
- Very easy to fit
- Nice and compact, really is a very small unit
- Superb illumination
- Sensor works really well as does the auto shut off
- No maintenance
- Different modes of operation

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I haven’t found anything, everything works as it should but if I have any issues I will return and add them


Summary
**********
Overall this is a great little compact unit that really delivers great illumination and best of all it will go any place you like as long as it gets plenty of direct sunlight. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Mini E Cig Box Mod By Teslacigs

I have been vaping now for over 5 years going from the very first basic vape pens then moving on as the hardware refined and improved, for myself vaping has always been an alternative to smoking rather than a way of giving up smoking, I have vastly reduced my nicotine intake since starting, lost my smokers cough, have a better sense of taste and don’t stink of smoke along with no longer being a social pariah when sparking up a cigarette so am a happy vaper.


This mini mod box comes in a very neat box with two sliding trays containing the battery, charging lead, extra glass, extra o-ring, a spare coil, atomise and manuals, I gave the manual a good read, it’s all fairly straight forward with the 5 button presses for power on and off, resistance lock and unlock features along with a coil type select when you fit the atomiser and temperature control etc all listed in the manual.


Some people who are new to vaping or considering taking up vaping for the first time might be a bit daunted at this point thinking you have to understand and know what temperature they need to set it to and if it needs to be set to Ti/Ni/SS mode or normal mode, a lot of the settings and features are more for when you start to get used to vaping and wish to refine the experience, for someone new to vaping you can fill the tank with juice and let it stand for 7 minutes to avoid a burnt taste, press the fire button 5 times to turn it on, select coil as normal when it asks and then press the button and start vaping, everything else is adjustment such as temperature and adjusting the air inlet to get the vape experience that suits you.


After charging this up I was ready to try this out, it’s worth noting a feature at this point that it has a pass through which means you can still use the mod box while it is charging a feature not on a lot of mod boxes. After filling the tank and letting it sit for a while so the cotton is saturated with juice I fired it up, I could hold the whole thing in my hand with only the atomised intake nozzle showing so not only is it a small powerful mod box it is also fairly discrete. This gives a great vape with huge plumes of vapour and I liked the coil which uses organic cotton and a honeycomb design inlet at the top really bringing through the taste of the juice.

I have attached a short video showing it in use, the quality often degrades when it goes through Amazon’s optimisation process so hopefully not too much.
  • Original 0.6 ohm Coil. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XG9YR79
  • Adjust Power. 0.1-3.5 ohm for VW mode. Output Wattage: 7-40W. Adjust the wattage in VW mode by pressing the up/down button and the wattage will move in 5 increments.
  • Temperature Control. 0.05-1.0 ohm for Ti/Ni/SS mode. Temperature Range 100-300℃(200-600℉. You can adjust it based on your vaping habits.
  • Bypass Mode. Select wattage to 40W, press the up button once more to switch device to Bypass Mode (Mechanical Mode)
  • Battery Cell LiPo 1300 built in.
Package List:
1 * Atomizer
1 * 1500mAh Battery
1 * 0.6ohm Coil (25-40W)
1 * 1.0ohm Spare Coil (10-25W)
1 * Extra Glass Tube
2 * Extra O-Ring
1 * Micro USB Charger
1 * User Manual
1 * Gift Box


What I liked
*************
- Clever design
- Great vape experience
- Battery has a pass through
- Easy to set up and use
- Battery charge point is on the side rather than the bottom which is much better
- Nicely presented in a bespoke box with draws
- Spare coil, glass and rubber for the tank
- Coil is nice and easy to change

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I haven’t found anything to put here but if I come across any issues I will edit and add them accordingly.

Summary
**********
This really is a great mod box ideal for on the move vaping or a good started mod box for someone just taking it up, it delivers great plumes of smoke along with really bringing through the flavour of the juice. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

NinaQueen - Hedgehog - 925 Sterling Silver Charm

This is latest addition to my daughters charm bracelet is really lovely, the hedgehog’s spiny hack is detailed and coated in gold which runs to the front of the charm forming two little arms which are clutching a heart outlined in gold and filled with a pink crystal, this really stands out against the white crystal filling the main face area of the hedgehog, the eyes and nose are picked out in black enamel.


The hedgehog has a smiling mouth something not shown in the display images but hopefully shows up well in the pictures I have uploaded, I am guessing this is a slight design change and a very welcome one which gives the face character and brings it to life as does the attention to detail with two tiny little crystals in the corner of the eyes picking them out and making them sparkle in the light, The contrast of the silver against the gold and crystals really makes this charm stand out and my daughter was delighted to receive it. This charm comes in a nice presentation box with a cleaning cloth so is ideal should you be purchasing this as a gift.


  • This hedgehog charm belongs to the collective edition "The House of Beloved Pets" series, which is designed by a famous jewellery designer in Paris.
  • Hedgehog is elegant, shy but dare to chase love with an enthusiastic heart, she is also the representation of wisdom.
  • 925 Sterling silver, the world's most popular silver alloy. 100% safe for her sensitive skin.
  • Craftsman used advanced two-tone electroplating of platinum and k-gold, inlayed cubic zirconia under a microscope by hand.


What I liked
**************
- High quality finishing
- The contrast of the gold, silver and crystals
- Attention to detail with the smile and sparkle in its eyes
- Beautiful design
- Comes in a nice presentation box
- My daughter loves it

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I can’t find a single flaw so nothing to add here

NinaQueen 925 Sterling Silver Charm Bracelet

I got this for my youngest daughter as her older sister already has her own charm bracelet and collection of charms so decided it was time to get my youngest daughter one and start building her charm collection.


This arrived in a nice white/cream box embossed in gold and lined with a matching material so an ideal presentation box should you be planning to get this as a gift.


The bracelet is a simple but a very beautiful design with what appears to be flawless quality, the bracelet release clip bead is outlined in a silver design with scrolls surrounding the letter ‘N’ in a circle, I presume this stands for NinaQueen but could be wrong, this design is mirrored on the reverse and the design is set against black enamel which really makes the design stand out.


The concealed release clip is simple to open even for me with my huge carrot like fingers and clips closed once you have the charms on nice, tight and secure. I have added some pictures that hopefully show you the great quality and design and have borrowed some of my eldest daughter’s charms to show contrast under the strict condition they were returned immediately after I had taken the photo’s :)

  • Length: 19 cm
  • Whether you're looking for a gift for a loved one, something special for yourself or simply browsing for inspiration, you're sure to find that special something from NinaQueen.
  • It consists of 92.5% silver combined with other metals (mainly copper). Ideal for jewellery, sterling silver preserves the colour and lustre of pure silver, while making it considerably more hardwearing.
  • 925 Sterling silver, the world's most popular silver alloy. 100% safe for her sensitive skin.
What I liked
*************
- Great quality
- Simple yet very beautiful design
- The release clip bead is easy to release but also very secure once closed
- The black enamel on the bead really stands out against the silver
- Comes in a very nice presentation box

TOGUARD Wide Angle Dash Cam With Hands-free Headset

This dash cam comes well packed in a sturdy box with all the contents packed into foam and all the lenses having protective covers, once I had unpacked it I gave the manual a good read, this is all written in English and laid out very well giving illustrations in which they have numbered the buttons to give a corresponding list of functions and features accessible and changeable with them, this really helps when setting it up. I put the FinalCam application to my phone and linked the WIFI, a very simple process and this gave me several different options and adjustments along with live footage from the dash cam and works really well.


With this dash cam coming with a Bluetooth headset I was a bit worried it might be a novelty rather than a very practical attachment, I connected it up again very simple process of pairing it on your phone and an audible bleep to let you know it’s connected, I tested the some music through my phone which worked really well and when you replace the headset into the dash cam it plays through the dash cam speaker. Calls worked well on it and you can also replace the headset in the dash cam and have the conversation through the dash cam audible to everyone in the car or have a group conversation, I was impressed with how well it worked.


The dash cam comes with a self-adhesive wedge block that sticks to the windscreen and the dash cam slots into this so very easy to remove the dash cam should you need to. I have taken some video footage of the menu system and video footage of both day and night driving, the footage is very good and clear but you should be aware it will not be the case in the video once it is uploaded due to the Amazon optimisation but hopefully it does not degrade too much and I will add some screen captures which give a better indication of quality, the dash cam takes very clear footage and with the wide angle you can see both sides of the road including side roads and paths capturing everything, this also allows you to place the camera just about any place you want on the screen and it will still capture everything.


  • Multi-purpose design: Car camera recorder with Bluetooth V4.0 headset, Hands-free talking and private conversation.
  • Built-in WIFI: transferring the User interface to the cellphone via APP. Download the record files to your smart phone to edit it and share it to facebook,twitter or other social network.
  • Unique design: 3-inch HD display screen with 6 layer glass lens multilayer filter means true 160 degree viewing angles.
  • Safeguards: G-Sensor & Manual Emergency Lock(automatically detects auto accidents and locks associated footage to memory), Parking Guard watchdog for surveillance of your vehicle.

What I liked
*************
- Very clear footage both day and night
- Application for the phone
- Bluetooth headset so much more than a novelty and very practical
- Multitude of features and settings
- Very easy to use and setup
- Wide angle capture
- G-Sensor & Manual Emergency Lock features

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- Not really a negative more a suggestion, I would have liked to have seen the addition of a suction screen fitting as an alternative to the stick on wedge block should you wish to move its location.


Summary
**********
Very good dash cam with some great features, the headset works flawlessly and with the addition of WIFI very easy to control, adjust and capture from your phone.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

GooBang Doo 4K Sport Camera WiFi Camcorder

This really is a cracking little action camera, it arrived in a long box with a clear plastic top with the camera fixed inside, I opened it all up and there are masses of various different mounts for fixing the camera. I wanted to fix this to my cycle helmet and it has all the fittings to do this and it fixes nice and secure.


After reading through the instructions and installing the EZ iCam application onto my phone it was a very simple process to link the camera via WIFI to my phone and then add it in the phone app, this application works very well and also allows you to change some of the camera settings without having to go into the camera menu’s, it’s simple but very effective and ideal for hands free recording.


The camera also comes with a little remote control which can be fitted to the straps so if like myself you are using it on a cycle helmet it’s a simple button push to start and stop recording without trying to find the button on the top of the camera or use your phone.


I have added a video but please be aware that the quality degrades significantly once it goes through Amazons optimisation and the original quality is far clearer. The video shows me going through the menu system which is very simple, packed with features and settings and most of it is obvious and self-explanatory but should you get stuck the manual is very clear and easy to follow. The second part shows me on my daily cycle ride.


I have added some photo’s captured from the video which hopefully gives a better indication of the great quality, at the end of the video I have the camera fitted on the handlebars, this works find but I did find the camera much better on my cycle helmet with far less vibration as I use a lot of rough cycle paths.


  • [Professional 4K Action Camera]: Upgraded 2-Inch High-definition LCD and Professional 4K 25fps & 2.7K 30fps video with 12MP photos at up to 30 frames per second which is 4 times the resolution of traditional HD cameras.170 Degree Ultra Wide Angel Lens makes you can easily capture HD pictures of all kinds of occasion.
  • [Build-in WIFI]: Download App(EZ iCam) on your smartphone or tablet, so you can view picture&video via this App on your Android or iOS system, The built-in Wi-Fi can control cameras from distances of up to 50-feet (15-meters), Save & edit & share your action in minutes.
  • [IP68 Waterproof]: Equipped with IP68 durable waterproof case, so you can use it in water up to 100 Feet (30m).Ideal for water sports like swimming, drifting, surfing etc.
  • [Long Lasting Battery]: 2 Rechargeable 1050mAh batteries come with the package, each one can record up to 90 minutes. Longer battery life enables lasting recording without worries.
  • [Multiple Free Accessories]: You can use these accessories to fix your action camera on bike & car & unmanned aerial vehicles, so it provides a convenient capture solution for amazing new perspectives you will never miss it again.

What I liked
*************
- Great quality video’s
- Very simple and easy to use EZ iCam phone application
- Loads of different attachments provided
- A spare battery and remote control
- The camera has a simple and easy to navigate menu
- Waterproof case
- Fits on my cycle helmet perfectly

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- More of an observation that a dislike as it’s clearly stated but you need to charge the batteries in the camera as there is no separate charging unit

Summary

Overall this is a really nice action camera, the footage really is superb, it fits great on my cycle helmet, has a mass of attachments with loads of settings and features on the camera. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

NINASUN "Honeybee" Silver Women's Necklace Pendant

This is a really beautiful necklace, the necklace is around the size of a 50p piece and has tiny crystals embedded around each of the four wings which are enclosed with a silver line then filled with black enamel which really makes the crystals stand out against the black of the enamel, the eyes are filled with black enamel and at the joining point of the four wings below the eyes there is a cluster of crystals enclosed in a circle leading down to the body which is separated with silver bands and filled with alternate black and yellow enamel forming the bee’s body.


This necklace really stands out and sparkles and is instantly recognisable as a bee, I got this for my daughter as she has been doing a school project on the Honey Bee and she absolutely loves it and has worn it every day since I gave it to her, it comes in a nice bespoke presentation box lines with black velvet which not only makes it stand out but is also an ideal presentation should you be getting this as a gift for someone.

Wireless In-Car Bluetooth Handsfree FM Transmitter


This is a very clever little device.

Extremely well put together and once installed, will blend seamlessly with your cars’ interior.
Plug this into you cars’ cigarette lighter socket, tune your stereo to the same frequency as the device and your whatever you play, or connect to it, will come through your car speakers.
The instructions are very thorough, well written and easy to follow.
There are 3 interface methods:
A direct 3.5mm cable between the device and your source.
A micro SD card slot
A Bluetooth connection.

That’s only part of it though.
It also comes with a removable in ear piece if you need a bit of privacy, which fits neatly into the top of the transmitter and recharges, as well as 2 USB connections for charging additional devices.
Connect your phone and it also gives you hands free mobile use, plus it will auto-mute any other devices playing through it when you're taking a call.

The transmitter can tilt to give you the best angle for the blue LED display and make the ports more accessible.
Buttons on the device allow you to:
Accept/reject/hang up calls.
Adjust volume
Adjust FM frequency
Enable pairing
Switch the device on and off.













Set up was incredibly simple. I bench tested the Aux connection to a small cube speaker, having first bluetoothed the transmitter to an iphone. pairing was virtually instant and the sound was superb.
In the car, tuning to a spare FM frequency was easy and having paired it with my Windows phone, music playback and telephony control was a button push away.
It’s worth noting that you may need to tweak the FM frequency to one that best suits you. An empty one outside your house may not work elsewhere, if that frequency is being used by a more powerful transmitter (ie a radio station), however adjusting the frequency takes seconds.











With the authorities now clamping down on anyone caught physically using their phone whilst driving, a hands free option is about all that’s left if you want to talk whilst driving.
If you’re caught, You can get 6 penalty points and a £200 fine. Even lose your licence, especially if you’ve passed your test in the last 2 years.
Sadly, we can’t all afford these wonderful, shiny cars that do it all for you and an aftermarket hands free kit can be expensive, especially if you then have to pay for fitting.
So this is ideal. Simple to set up, simple to use, inexpensive and non invasive.
Superb product.

Campark® ACT74 Waterproof Action Camera 4K

This is a really nice action camera kit, it arrived in a black compact case with everything inside being in its own little bag with all the lenses and camera covers having protective plastic removable protectors.


After opening everything up I started to read the manual which is sectioned off into different languages, the manual is very clear giving good instructive illustrations and also giving a good breakdown of the additional parts and their usage. The instructions are fairly easy to follow and after I gave the camera a full charge I started going through the menu and multitude of various settings and features.


I installed the XDV application on my phone, this is a very simple but effective application for remotely controlling the camera from the phone or tablet and giving the ability to change or adjust most of the settings without having to go into the camera’s main menu, I was impressed how well it worked.


My main purpose for purchasing this is to use as a helmet cam while out on my bicycle and after setting it up I went out for a long ride and the footage was very clear, after looking through all the videos on here I decided to do something a bit different and show the waterproof features of the camera inside a case which is also something I wanted to be 100% certain of as it would be sitting on my head while riding.


I have uploaded some pictures and video footage but please be aware the Amazon system optimises and whatever else it does to video so hopefully not too much, this is showing the waterproof feature of the camera rather than video quality which is far better than the optimised version you will see.
