Action Sports Cameras (Go Pro and the like)

**JackFlash** · April 22nd, 2015 03:07 PM

Have any of you bought these Go Pro imitations from MetroDeal? There are 2 kinds being advertised:

- 5MP * P1,199: Free Delivery: 720p HD 5.0MP Action Sport Camera for P1199 instead of P2200 - Record the Most Thrilling Adventures

- 12MP * P2,499: 34% off S8 1080P HD 12.0MP Action Camera Promo

Feedback and reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have not bought one but there are good reviews on SJCAM models- SJ4000 and SJ5000...so read reviews first before buying one...

The SJ5000 is not an SJCAM model, just a ripoff riding on the fame of the SJ4000. It pretends to be better by having a higher model number, but really isn't up to par with the SJ4000.

Mga sir, buhayin ko lang itong thread na ito. I want to purchase one to be used primarily for traveling. Okay sana Go Pro pero No Go and price.

budget would be more or less 4K. Realistic ba yung budget ko? Any recommendations? Thank you!

Yup, here are the best action cams for different price points:

SJ4000 (Non-WiFi) - P3,000
SJ4000 WiFi - P4,000
Xiaomi Yi - P5,200 (4,300 without waterproof case)
SJ5000+ - P7,200

Best buy for me is the SJ5000+ since it's as good as the GoPro Hero4 Silver.

Buhayin ko uli itong thread. Ang Yi may Yi 4k. Sa SJCam naman kalalabas lang ng SJ6 tapos may soon to be released SJ360 saka SJ7.

Sjcam sj4000 wifis a good alternAtive to the go pro hero 3. Nasa 80-90% comparable ang vid quality nila. Even dark scenarios are comparable, stills are also good. What i like about the sjcam is the lcd viewfinder, madali asintahin ang target and all necessary mounts is already included.

Just make sure na you buy the orig sjcam, not the clone. Lazada sells clone, search in youtube7 for reviews and comparison .

And 170deg view lens, perfect for cardash dvr. Prcied around 4000+, you can be creative on your camera placements. Would you put your 15k gopro in front of your bumper for that first perosn view shot. :-)
