Forget about GoPro, High cost recommendation - SJCAM (part 4)

When it comes to looping video, how does SJCAM M20 avoid dropped frames? Avoid dropping frames by overlapping the next video with the previous video for one second. This method is more common in sports cameras and driving recorders, which can effectively avoid the problem of partial frame loss during long time recording.

The camera can be used independently or it can be controlled by the APP. The function is rich:

The practical slow-motion is more interesting than the delay.

The control of the camera can be directly linked to the body button, and can also be controlled by the WiFi directly connected with the APP. SJCAM M20, in general, is extremely versatile in function, supports driving recorder mode (power on automatically and recording), supports motion capture, can adjust EV, white balance, sharpness adjustment, supports RAW format picture shooting, supports exposure time setting such as, to meet the daily needs of the manual adjustment of the actual environment.

For this motion capture function, the sensitivity is not adjustable, but the detection effect is very sensitive. If the main body is slightly shaken or if there are object changes in the screen, it will automatically start recording. The preconditions for normal operation of this function are the start-up state and the motion capture mode. The applicable scenario is more suitable for use when the vehicle is parked.

Which is more playable, time-lapse photography or slow motion? Of course, it is slow motion, after all, the time-lapse photography function can be seen from SLR, mobile phones, etc. And slow-motion support -2X, -4X and -8X adjustment, you can record splashes of water, fish out of water and some other pictures, usually it rely on some software to achieve slow-motion effects. And the latest and professional sjcam sj8 is more convenient and easier to use.

For APP, one of the biggest effects of personal feeling is that it can be controlled remotely or with drones to view the screen in real time. After all, it is through the WiFi direct connection mode, the screen transmission is more smooth; the second is to download the video from the camera to the mobile phone, the download speed is relatively stable, it is best to choose Class10 TF card.

Easy to install, Easy to operate, Anti-shake effect is effective

Easy installation refers to three installation modes: one is a waterproof housing, the second is a self-timer lever and a tripod, and the third is a frame mounted on a different vehicle such as a bicycle, a balanced car, or an automobile. Whether it is a self-timer with a 1/4 standard interface and a tripod or a self-timer used with an adapter, it can be used with the SJCAM M20 normally. The installation and disassembly of the waterproof shell are simple, and only one side switch is needed to complete the corresponding operation.

So how is the airtightness? We tossed it directly into the pond. There was no depth at 30 meters, but there was still some depth at 3 meters. We soaked it in water for 33 minutes. The interior was in good condition without any water.

Then the question arises. So what about the anti-shake effect when it is installed on such a vehicle that is driving or when it is held in motion? After all, it is a design incorporating a gyro optical image stabilization. There are anti-shake effects, which can effectively reduce the jitter effect of the screen. And maybe you can also try the latest sjcam sj8, which is more advanced and the anti-shake ability is excellent.

The resolution supports 2160 Image quality, Fisheye and correction function effect is amazing

The highest video resolution is 2880*2160, which is different from the standard 4K specification 3840*2160, so it is directly called 2160 here. This is probably the reason why the interpolation algorithm was mentioned in the official promotion. The 2K resolution is the standard 2560*1440. In the video and shooting effects, the picture of the picture taken is more realistic and there is no distortion or overexposure. The control of color and light is relatively better, and there is still room for improvement in details.

There is a fisheye correction function in SJCAM M20. What is the change before and after the opening? The picture becomes flattered and there is no distortion of the picture at the edges. SJCAM M20's fish-eye effect display has no ambiguity at the edges and is consistent with the overall picture in terms of coherence and color.

Forget about GoPro, High cost recommendation - SJCAM (part 2)

After all, powerful competitors, such as the SJCAM, are no worse than GoPro in terms of hardware configuration and functionality, but the price is far more cost-effective. Just the so-called GoPro competitor is not so easy to be, first of all, that quality must pass, followed by shipment must reach a certain magnitude, there is enough market share, and finally after-sale guarantee, these are all SJCAM has. The thing that it has, of course, is the reason why it deserves attention and is worth buying. As for the other products, like the latest sjcam sj8, maybe you have used this generation 4K sports camera, but after a comparison, you will feel there is something worth buying since it is cost-effective with many updated functions.

SJCAM M20 with a relatively good hardware configuration

SJCAM M20 as an SJCAM sports camera, comes with a 1.5-inch LCD screen, eliminating the need for non-screen design resulting in inconvenience to use and watch, support for 30 meters waterproof, HDR support, image stabilization, support for 4K video features, to meet the daily shooting use requirements.

SJCAM M20 adopts a new generation of motion image processing chip 96660, which is more accurate in imaging and can bring more excellent image effects. The M20 image sensor uses the Sony IMX206 to capture clear 16-megapixel images and shoot 2160P (4K) high-definition video. Although the M20 uses a 170-degree A+ high-resolution wide-angle lens, it incorporates a fish-eye correction function to automatically eliminate fish-eye effects, ensuring that the shot is smooth. The most important point is that as a sports camera, the SJCAM M20 incorporates a gyroscope-based anti-shake function that is more suitable for shooting more stable images in sports environments. However, the surprise brought by SJCAM M20 is far from this, and there are more places worthy of introduction and noteworthy. We will talk more next time.

With the popularity of 4K, sports cameras supporting 4K video are becoming more and more common. Whether they are American brands or Chinese brands, many of them can be purchased. The functions are mostly similar. The main difference is the hardware configuration and price. Then which brand to choose? This is a budget-related problem for the average user.
