I purchased a ThiEYE T5e based mainly on your review. Your review was spot on! I've been very pleased with the camera's performance. For the price, it can't be beat! You have become a trusted and reliable source of information for me. Your reviews are always thorough and insightful. Thanks for being an excellent producer! Liked and Subscribed!
Your videos are professional, the video quality and the resolution is amazing. Yet where are the views? Not even 100k?! Does talented people deserve this?!
I like this review! Is it any way to correct the fish eye aberation? What was your feeling when you used it as dashcam? Does it a decent job? Is it getting hot? Can it be used in hot summer days?
Alex, a few questions and comments: 1) The nighttime videos for the T5E seemed unusually bright - was that just the sensor's ability to handle low light extremely well, or did you take those clips at dusk when it wasn't completely dark? That was a night-and-day difference (pun intended) compared to the nighttime videos for the ThiEYE E7 or many other action cams you've reviewed, which look like they were taken several hours after sundown. It would help to have all of your nighttime videos done well after sundown when it is equally dark. 2) As others have asked, a comparison with the ThiEYE T5 Edge, when you get one, would be tremendously helpful. ThiEYE's website seems to show the T5 Edge having the act same features as the E7 you recently reviewed, and doesn't really distinguish them in any way, other than to say that the T5 Edge has "Best-ever image quality." So if you could do a side-by-side comparison of the T5E, E7, and T5 Edge, that would be really useful. 3) In your videos you typically will describe video quality, nighttime video quality, image stabilization, photo quality, etc... as "better than most" or "not as good as some that I've seen." Could you please take a few extra seconds in each of your videos to name specific, better-known models you've reviewed to compare with the one you are reviewing? (e.g. "this camera's stabilization is better than the A and B cameras, about the same as the M and N cameras, but not as good as the X, Y and Z cameras.") Most of us comparison shop for electronics, so if you can give us information comparing how one item does compared to several comparable units we might be considering, that would be extra helpful. 4) Your daughter is really cute - and therefore, I recommend an immediate paternity test (just kidding). However, not kidding and being completely serious, please have her wear a helmet (and you should too) anytime she is on a bicycle or if you go downhill skiing. I saw a statistic once that said that 3 out of 4 kids who die from head injuries while bicycling would have lived if they had been wearing a helmet. Thanks and keep up the excellent reviews - I recommend yours as about the best on RUclips.
thanks for watching! So this new iCatch V50 processor /panasonic images sensor that they use for the E7 and that T5 Edge seems to do pretty bad in low light compared to what we got with this one and the SJ7 Star. The only advantage to that conbination is then image stabilization for 4k recordings. i know i didn't answer everything...but the wifi in cuba is expensive :)
plse tell me is it possible to shoot motion and sound videos at darkness in my bedroom at night for my REM sleep dis-order problems...I need some recorded videos for my neuro docs for examination and analyse ? thanks......hope to hear from u soonest.
Nice review. Still don't know which is better T5e or T5 edge.. One question and a little advice for new camera test videos: please make a table with bit rates camera does at 1080/30/60, 2.7K/30/60, 4K/30 - and what length in minutes video file can be saved in each mode. I'm using innovv c1 camera for some long time recordings and it can record ~35 minutes in one file 1080/30. That's very easy to upload to youtube and no postproduction needed to make 1 file of 3-7 if they were made short.
Absolutely superb. You're a natural. I had bought one, but had no idea how good it was until I just watched your video. A couple of questions however. When not in the waterproof housing, what is the best way to hold the camera for videos? How do you download and install a firmware update?.
if there are updates available you copy the file on an empty sd card and when you turn on the camera it updates by itself. i usually hold cameras in my hand...but i've seen many people holding them on selfie sticks
Which is the best camera Thieye Ty or Elephone Explorer dual 4 k, and it is possible to recommwnd the best camera 4k 30 fps(sensor, auto focusing, time lapse, wifi, etc..)under 100$ ? Thank you very very much!!!
Do any of these cameras have motion detection to be used as a surveillance camera? Or watch for passing animals in the night or something like that? PS: Apparently there is a hole bunch of action cameras that are based on the same processors and sensors, this one seems to be Ambarella A12 Processor and IMX117 Sensor.
good video i like your video please help me out of my action camera buy decision i was thinking of buying J7 star and I found you talking about THiEYE T5e they both really catching my eyes and in my country the THIEYE T5e cost cheaper as well so which should i get ?
dear Alex..(did i get that correct?) love your reviews - problem is now, i can't decide - i am more into doing slomos - do u think i am in the right direction if i foucs on actioncams that has 1080p/120fps? i can do without 4K recordings .. take care Sir .. i am now quite familiar with your living environment - have seen u in many seasons too .. take care Sir
Dear Alex! I would like to buy an action camera, checked many of your reviews and thinking between the ThiEYE T5e and the Apeman A80. I don't want 4k video, only 1080p60, so that's not a break point for me. In your video, the Apeman A80 the Gyro stabilization looks better then the T5, but afterall the video shoots seems better for the T5e. In the other hand, the Apeman has an option to change the view angle, 70 to 170 degree. I will primarily use the camera for playing with my kid (sport, underwater, swiming) and sometimes for dashcam/helmet cam. Could you recommend me which one should I choose? Or recommend me any alternative up to around 130 bucks?

Problem with the buttons when I turn on the camera, sometimes I do not work the buttons, I have to always remove the battery and then the buttons react again. what solutions do you have?is it common problem?
Great review. Pls tell me if any kind of low budget cam be used as. Car dash cam. Is it necessary to have a car mode in a cam to use it like a dash cam
i have no need for an external mic. That being said which do you prefer between thieye t5e and eken v8s I'm having trouble deciding. Thanks for the reviews! Love your content.
hi Alex have purchased this camera.Do you remember which micro SD cards used? some says you have to purchase a u3 card for perfect 4K recording.Is that true?
Thanks for the great review :) Which software did you use for lens correction? I have this camera and I hate the fisheye look, tried narrow FOV but it still has curvy edges.
+Vipul Limbachiya I didn't use any software to correct the fisheye. I've done everything from the camera's settings. There is a setting in there that fixes the distortion
Hi Alex, I have watched a copule of your videos to find a great action camera. Right now I am wondering which one is the best when you compare the ThiEYE T5e and the HawkEye Firefly 8S? Which one would you recommend and why? :)
hi. which do you think is better? thieye 5e or akaso v50? i think thieye looks better.but akaso comes with more accesories.at night thieye looks better.the akaso seems to have better sound.there are only video comparison with the thieye edge.not one video for the 5e with the akaso.keep up the good work.thank you,alex.nice name !-)
you are doing a great job reviewing products man!I need your help with something....i want an action camera under 100$ (i dont care about 4k i want 1080 60fps) with good video i mean with nice vivid colors and the most important to have a good stabilization (gyro or EIS).The best camera i ve found so far is the Hawkeye Firefly 6s .It has a superb gyro image stabilization but it lacks a little bit in saturated colors.Do you have something better to suggest (keep in mind that the stabilized image in video matters the most over the rest for my needs).thanks in advance!
great review, it was one of the ones which convinced me in buying this camera :) I bought this camera a couple of days ago and I'm actually very happy about it, but I need to ask you something man! When I make my videos they look just awesome on my pc but once uploaded on youtube the quality gets so bad!! how can you keep that quality on your videos? There's some setting I need to modify before or while the upload process ? Hope you can help me Cheers
well...it depends how you edit the videos and what settings you use for the editing software. I use Final Cut Pro X and you've seen how the footage turned out. What do you use?
Thanks for answering! I'm just a beginner in video editing and I'm using an open source software, "Open Shot Video Editing" Tried to upload a video in 1080 60p and another in 1080 30p but the quality on youtube gets very poor.. I didn't adjust any color ar whatever... just cutting and uploading Any idea about what it can be?
i don't edit the color on any video either. Have you waited 20-30 minutes after uploading the video on RUclips? it takes a bit to process videos after they are uploaded
Good review... I subscribe your channel also... Does it support different Field Of View as SJ7 Star? Does it has optical zoom? Does it have gyro stabilization i.e. if i turn the camera upside down, will be video recording be adjusted accordingly?
Would you recommend this camera for time lapse purposes? I need something to do a time lapse of my plants growing! Any recommendations for cheap but good quality picture is much appreciated!
wow, it's actually very good camera especially considering price. I mean if it would have a bit better mic and a bit brighter night scenes it would be perfect. You said nothing about battery, so I think it's just decent like around a hour of 2k footage from 100% to 10%?
+Alex Butters yeah the video quality from it is very good. It's definitely the best for its price. About the battery i mentioned about 50min recording in 4K, an hour an a half 1080p.
Redskull I am getting ready to buy an Action camera in this price Range . I am thinking about Yi Lite , Xiaomi Mijia , ThiEYE T5e ... Or ?? Any ideas Thanks
Great review again sir. I love the reviews you do and have learned a lot from you. I have a little different opinion on this camera than you but as far as image quality goes, this thing rules. I di8d however have issues with over heating.
@@RedskullPro none of my GoProd or my other action cameras heat up to the point where they shut down. My ThiEye did more than once. Maybe it's just my cameras. Thanks for the information.
Hey, please compare T5e with firefly 8s & SJ7 Star - the usual stuff: low light, bright light, stabilization, image quality, sound, functions, limitations, and so on... Also, please provide (some) unprocessed clips straight from the cameras for download (GDrive, Dropbox, ...) - after youtube upload does it thing many details/features are gone. Good video, as usual, BTW.
+Shrimp Zoo also check out my review of the Mijia 4K (posted about 2 weeks ago) I think that one has better daytime video quality and they are the same price
Excellent review. Thank you. I just checked there is version V5S and V6. Please review them if possible and by the way you city looks beautiful.. which one it is ?? :-)
Hi, is it possible to lock the auto focus function, like keep in focus on an object without auto focusing if something interferes with the sensor? Thanks
very good quality, at least here in my screen the night video looks good, I could try it to watch it in a bigger screen to see it with more details, nice video as always my friend.
Do you think that Thieye T5e is better than Seabird 4K? I'm confused which one I should buy.Colour contrast,saturation, Video quality is main concern for me.I will do moto blogging.
I got the camera, but I am having a hard time finding accessories for it? Do you know if there is anywhere to buy a skeleton mounting frame or some sort of cage. I want to make a light weight Vlogging set up with it>
what do you mean> The only thing that was recorded in 1080P in this video was the part where i was showing the image stabilization. That 30 seconds of 1080P footage was upscaled to 4K to match the rest of the video
I guess I don't understand what it means to "Upscale" Does that mean that you recorded that section in 1080p and when you went to Edit it in your computer you changed that footage to 4K? Look at 5:29 of your video. Your Title Below the video.
so the original video from that action camera was recorded in 1080P (1920 X 1080). The review video was recorded in 4K (3840 X 2160). I had two options, i was either making the entire video smaller (1920x1080) or artificially up-scale the size of the 1080P footage to 4K thru software, and that's what i did
well i saw a lot of people saying that they trying to call them and no answers. i saw a lot of your videos and really can't decide which action camera i should get. help me please needs to order it asap.thank you Alex
Love your reviews. BUT you need to buy some microphones to test with these, even a few cheap ones. ha ha I am getting close to my 4k buy, as I leave for overseas work soon, and this is up top with the SJ you reviewed. Would love to see you write a person ranking say top 3 4k, top 3 cheapest, and flat out top 3 non gopro into your notes .
+Robert Showe inwas actually thinking of a Top 5 video. I would place this at no. 1 because of the price/ value it offers. And the SJCAM SJ7 at number 2

Good camera but the audio kind of sucks , there is a hissing sound while recording):
Your videos are professional, the video quality and the resolution is amazing. Yet where are the views? Not even 100k?!
Does talented people deserve this?!
Thant's how it goes on RUclips :) difficult to be discovered
I saw on Aliexpress that few clients had problems with high temperature after recording video for long time.
Hi Alex, are you going to be reviewing the Thieye T5 edge anytime soon 😁
Great review man.
Which one will be better for Moto vlogs:- This one or Mijia or sjcam s7 star ?
Appreciate the time spent going and showing the menu. Other than built in microphone, looks like a decent camera.
+Scott Mannear yeah, it is very decent for the price. This moved to my number 1 for value/price
I like this review!
Is it any way to correct the fish eye aberation?
What was your feeling when you used it as dashcam? Does it a decent job?
Is it getting hot? Can it be used in hot summer days?

Hey, please compare T5e with firefly 8s & SJ7 Star - the usual stuff: low light, bright light, stabilization, image quality, sound, functions, limitations, and so on... Also, please provide (some) unprocessed clips straight from the cameras for download (GDrive, Dropbox, ...) - after youtube upload does it thing many details/features are gone. Good video, as usual, BTW.
+Nuno Lourenço if i have the time i will. Good idea with the unprocessed files on GDrive
I'm about to buy this one based on this video, seems like the best cheap action cam.
+Shrimp Zoo also check out my review of the Mijia 4K (posted about 2 weeks ago)
I think that one has better daytime video quality and they are the same price
Hi ,
just a quick one here...does it support external mic with 3.5mm port? or do we need some some of connector?
+RK MotoVlogs it has a 2.5mm audio jack
Redskull okay...so we need a adaptor here..
Thanks anyway.
Cheers!
Excellent review. Thank you. I just checked there is version V5S and V6. Please review them if possible and by the way you city looks beautiful.. which one it is ?? :-)
+Venkatesh E i am located in Cambridge, Ontario
Hi, is it possible to lock the auto focus function, like keep in focus on an object without auto focusing if something interferes with the sensor? Thanks
christian siegel it has fixed focus
amazing reviews! every time!
Hello. I got this camera last week, and the screen gets very hot.
Does that happen to your camera also? Thanks!
+coolnanel yes they all get very hot
definately buying this camera. thanks for the review :)
Thanks for watching. There may be a coupon code in the video's description
very good quality, at least here in my screen the night video looks good, I could try it to watch it in a bigger screen to see it with more details, nice video as always my friend.
+Chemy JMHT it's not bad even at night, but anyway for it's price it's really awesome
tnx man...following ur videos. Plannig to buy an action cam. Have a canon IXUS 145 but that really sucks.
+Abu Reza thanks for watching. Yeah, we had quite a few good cameras on the channel lately
thats nice bro..keep posting...btw which cam do u use for making ur videos?
+Abu Reza now I use a Sony A6500
can you use it as webcam?
i haven't tried, but i don't think you can
Redskull thanks!
Do you think that Thieye T5e is better than Seabird 4K? I'm confused which one I should buy.Colour contrast,saturation, Video quality is main concern for me.I will do moto blogging.
I think the Seabird 4k has better video quality
Should I go for Seabird or this one?but video should more punchy in color,more eye catchy.I'm so confused, pls help me out 😞
awesome camera, thanks i bought this because of your review :)
I’m glad the video was useful. Thanks for watching!
gr8 work man .. soon you are gonna give other technical reviewers run for their monru
haha, thanks for checking out the video!
It is 95$ in amazon now. Use the Coupon savings.
I got the camera, but I am having a hard time finding accessories for it? Do you know if there is anywhere to buy a skeleton mounting frame or some sort of cage. I want to make a light weight Vlogging set up with it>
any gopro accessory kit will work for it
ThiEYE T5e or Elephone Elecam Explorer Elite 4k (With the money that i save i will buy some accessories)? Can both get an external microphone?
i would get the Thieye over the other one. I don't think you can use a microphone with that elecam
Redskull Ok thanks! just one more question. The difference between them is something gigantic?
Thanks for your review. I just ordered it! It will go well with my gimbal & external mic. Now the wait...👍
nice! Where did you order it from?
Redskull unfortunately, could not find a US source, so had to order from Hong kong.
it usually takes around 3 weeks to get there.
What does that mean. Recording at 1080p but upscaling to 4K? Did you upscaled it in the editing room?
what do you mean> The only thing that was recorded in 1080P in this video was the part where i was showing the image stabilization. That 30 seconds of 1080P footage was upscaled to 4K to match the rest of the video
I guess I don't understand what it means to "Upscale" Does that mean that you recorded that section in 1080p and when you went to Edit it in your computer you changed that footage to 4K? Look at 5:29 of your video. Your Title Below the video.
so the original video from that action camera was recorded in 1080P (1920 X 1080). The review video was recorded in 4K (3840 X 2160). I had two options, i was either making the entire video smaller (1920x1080) or artificially up-scale the size of the 1080P footage to 4K thru software, and that's what i did
what would you say would give better night time videos
well...most action cameras don't do great in low light...
which camera do you use to record your videos?
i use a Sony FDR-AX53 and a Panasonic HC-VX981
RED SKULLLL !!! You have to check out the doogee mix !!!!! Looks so good !!! Please do a review ???!!!
+Ryan Lin I've been trying to get it for a couple of weeks now without any luck
Redskull oh thanks !

Alex, is there dome port available for this one?
no
Alex pls tell me where i can get rest of the mounts like helmet wrist etc plz do tell me
amazon has gopro accesories kits and they fit this one as well
A big thanks for this video n for reply. All the go pro mounts will fit???

+usman abdulkadir happy to hear! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the review !
+juandenz2008 thanks for checking it out!
Looks like a camera I'll use for thr next ski season
good choice!
Do feel the heat issue for long recording?
+Angga Yanuar yes, they all get hot when recording for long periods of time
Which is better, ThiEYE T5e or the Hawkeye Firefly 8S?
+Wildhog32 i think i prefer the quality of the thieye in between the two
It performs really well imo
+Will Zone it does for its price
How long is the maximum continuous recording time?
Alex said it runs about 40 minutes while recording at 4K and about 70 minutes while recording at 1080p.
hello, what do you think about ACTIVEON CX GOLD PLUS ??
+Jad Storm just based on specs on paper i can't say
well i saw a lot of people saying that they trying to call them and no answers. i saw a lot of your videos and really can't decide which action camera i should get. help me please needs to order it asap.thank you Alex
ok thanks,can you recommend me a cheap and good cam without stabilization for only underwater shooting and video about 40-50$.
DRAGON HEART sj4000 but audio is shit
how about a setup tour plus a casual neighbourhood tour
+Nikhil Gupta hey, yes i keep saying ill make a setup tour, but there is always something elese that comes up. Hopefully soon
And Please do consider Collaborating with some Indian Tech RUclipsrs....I am looking forward for this .....fingers crossed
Love your reviews. BUT you need to buy some microphones to test with these, even a few cheap ones. ha ha
I am getting close to my 4k buy, as I leave for overseas work soon, and this is up top with the SJ you reviewed.
Would love to see you write a person ranking say top 3 4k, top 3 cheapest, and flat out top 3 non gopro into your notes .
+Robert Showe inwas actually thinking of a Top 5 video. I would place this at no. 1 because of the price/ value it offers. And the SJCAM SJ7 at number 2
Is it good for vlogging
+Gardscoigne Vids i wouldn't vlog with a action camera
does this action camera work with estabilization at 4k 30fps?
no stabilization for 4K recordings. Check out the Mgcool explorer 3 or the Yi 4K+ or Apeman V50
what do you think of ThiEye T5 edge
