Thanks a lot for the review! I was searching for some honest review! I also saw your chain wax video and really thanks! That chain wax changed my experience woth performence and my wallet! Thanks!
The Eken H9R uses Sunplus 6350 chipset, which is not able to process 4k footage and OV4689 image sensor, which is not capable of capturing footage over 2.5k. This is a 1080p action camera. If you want true 4k for cheap it's probably gonna be one of these 3: 1.Firefly 8s 125 USD 2.ThiEYE T5 115 USD 3.Andoer C5 112 USD
Seems like a great commuting camera to mount on a helmet for commuting. But I think for long runs or showing off to RUclips, the Yi 4k looks and has better looking footage, has electronic stabilization, and lots of company support with firmware updates. If 4k 30fps isn't needed, the Yi Lite's only $90. (USD) On a side note, a higher speed name brand (like Transcend, Sandisk, not Lexar any more) microsd card is recommended to run high resolutions consistently. But it's pretty clear that while Gopro has been resting, Chinese action cameras are really the way to go for value with minimal, if any sacrifice.
The underseat footage looked quite stable from the Eken - was the forward footage taken from the homebrewed dual mount or from a bar mount? Excellent stuff again!
Thanks! Lack of ANT+ is a bit of a showstopper for me for many (most/all) of these budget cameras. I like to record at least my HR to reassure my family that I'm not "overdoing it" and since I'm recording I grab cadence and speed too. I suspect I'll grab another Virb Elite from Fleabay while there are still some "new old stock" available. Thanks again for your videos - they're that rare beast being entertaining and informative.

Thanks for telling me how to brighten the videos up since well me and a few friends plan on going to this abandoned hospital nearby at night so this will be handy
Great Review sir, EKEN is a superb camera with much lighter lens than gopro and with thinking for the price difference Go pro seems unexpectable with this darker lens.Also Eken i think didn't has image stabilisation as maybe gopro has?And the msd cards supported isn't the same i think.Eken has false default setting (cause isn't changeable) in White Balance and it's clearly shown at clouds!
No. I tried different ways of holding the Eken including individually in my hand. It was worse than the Gopro on all occasions when there is movement. Eken have a new camera now,just a little more expensive and it has image stabilization.
Is image stabilization the only difference between the H8 and the H9. If they are the same would it have been better to do a review of the H8 instead ?
Yep but stabilization is something that you can easily fix with a gimbal in the other hand make a blurred record becomes sharper is really trick to do and boring
Just have mine now, your review is the best found on the tube ! thank you so much for that !

I like the Eken much better and I just ordered it. The shakes can be corrected with any good editing software.
Very concise, answered all my questions. Well done.
Excellent review, thanks! Much better than a bunch of others I have already seen 👍

great review! thank you so much. i'm getting the eken H9R & save up money to buy 3-axis gimbal. cheers!
At 7:55 seems like no or little image stabilization, a deal breaker for me.
Could you add in video stabilization afterwards?
@@alexapirot32 Good question - awaiting a response.
Great review. Very detailed. Thank you...
The underseat footage looked quite stable from the Eken - was the forward footage taken from the homebrewed dual mount or from a bar mount?
Excellent stuff again!
+ianjlilly It was the Eken but I made a special mount from some polytube which acts as a bit of suspension....mite do a video on that one day :)
Thanks!

with gimbal, eken kills it! thanks for the video
Apparently Eken have just released a new cheap camera with image stabilization!
Why when i used mine underwater i got water inside the waterproof case ?
good review bro from malaysia

Amazing comparison
Thank you for sharing this video
Very good job!!!
nice handy review, thx...
thanks for your review
the gopro hero 5 would of been better to compare then the session. As the session record button is different from the hero 5
Is the wrist remote waterproof, can it work in the swimming pool?
I was just wondering if the eken video shakes more as its further from the centre of support as compared to the gopro.
No. I tried different ways of holding the Eken including individually in my hand. It was worse than the Gopro on all occasions when there is movement.
Eken have a new camera now,just a little more expensive and it has image stabilization.
oz cycle thank u for clarifying my doubt! Much appreciated!
how to close looping 4k Eken camera
Great review. Gonna buy one. Thanks.
Thankyou so much ❤️
Well done.... Thanks
Exceptional review! Do you have one for H8R? Thanks for the pro review again
Sorry,no,only for that camera. Eken have a new version of this camera now with image stabilization tho.
oz cycle ok thanks a lot
Sir you making nice comparison. You are also nice😍
_Very Good review. Good job._
Is there any image stabilization?
Eken rocks
Is image stabilization the only difference between the H8 and the H9. If they are the same would it have been better to do a review of the H8 instead ?
+CashelCommunity The H8 also has higher frame rates. I did the H9R because I was asked to but you are right,the H8 would have been the better choice.
oz cycle Thank you for that info. Great videos by the way.
Does The eken h9r that have the word eken down the len in white colour is fake ?
Sorry,I dont know anything about fake Ekens. How could it possibly be cheaper than what it is?
thank you
Excellent review. Thanks.

Perfect Video for this tool
How's audio quality recording ??
Gopro is better all round
oz cycle sj4000??????
Does the remote control also waterproof???
No
The gopro has a more stable recording than the eken.
Yep but stabilization is something that you can easily fix with a gimbal in the other hand make a blurred record becomes sharper is really trick to do and boring
Guys dont worry image stabilisatiom, you can stable through softwares
Whats app ?
Available for windows 10?
1st Comment Just Saying LOL Exo Channel
With no image stabilization isn't useful as a action camera.
Thank you for your review !
Alvaro Federico I agree Alvaro
If I'm to be honest, I like more eken camera, much better pictures
thank you my friend
nice bike :)
Gopro hands down. The Eken is a oversharp, 1990 quality cam.
To me it looks like the go pro is much better, and now the price of old model go pro is not much than eken h9r
Chaina products is good and cheep e every one buy
Nikon vs Canon
Why are you riding 2-a-breast?
Law allows for it. If a car comes behind we merge to a single file.

Hahahahaha weight is no big matter main thing is price
