Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Good thing I found the Lightdow LD6000 1080P HD Wifi Sports Action Camera ($69-Amazon Lightening Deal) before I bought a GoPro Hero 4 silver ($399) to replace my older GoPro Hero 3 silver) For me, the LD6000 is more than "good enough" for my application(s) I will cut to the chase PROs o Good enough for most action cam applications at this price point. o Comes with lots of accessories. (More than GoPro) o All your existing GoPro accessories will fit o Has 4x digital zoom (not on GoPro) o Has dash-cam mode (start with external power applied; stop when power remove) (not on GoPro) o Has Anti-shake (not on GoPro) o Has motion detect (not on GoPro) o Bright display easy to read in sunlight o The Android application (YouMera) works great (get it from Google Play store) o Additional batteries are inexpensive ($17 for 2 including charger) o Video quality as good as my GoPro Hero 3 Silver (1080p) Cons o No true "skeleton" case (see below) o Audio not that great in protective case (even using the alternate back) (would be improved with true Skeleton case - see below) o No ability to use an external Mic (GoPro has this) o User manual is bad and incomplete o Download of the application is via a QR code on the manual which sends you to a raw IP address and an APK that won't download and seems very dangerous. (Get rid of that and just point us to the Android and Apple Stores - app is free) o Has HDR but no real info on how to use it. (bad manual) o Won't take anything larger than 32GB card (kinda OK since 32GB will get you 5hrs 1080p recording) How to make it better o Have a true "skeleton case" that would allow access to the USB port, HDMI port, and better expose the built-in microphone. GoPro has this. In my application (Motorcycle) I would like to apply external power AND have the camera somewhat protected. So, what I will do is drill the case to allow access. In dash cam mode, this would also allow some protection for the camera, especially the lens. o Add a lens cap (of some sort) to the "kit" o Add the ability to use an external Microphone (GoPro has this) For Lightdow There are some tiny things you could do that would make the user experience so much better at minimal cost to you. o Have a real web site. Put the firmware there... and any updates. Put a full manual there in a font that people can read and is complete. o Get rid of that funky QR code on the manual to get the software at some non-DNS address. Bottom line, Do the math. GoPro clone at the $80 price point. This camera, inside, is really a SJ7000 - branded "Lightdow"
