Dragon Touch 4K Vision 3 action camera review
This is a review of the Action camera from Amazon called Dragon Touch 4K Vision 3. I show all the diferent video modes accept for shooting under water, which I will be uploading some time this week. I don't go over the settings because there are many other videos out showing that. I am focusing on the video quality.
But if you have an extra $10.00 to $15.00 the Dragon Touch Vision 4 will give you image stabilization and more. you may want to check that video out too.

I pull out the memory card (Which is a micro SD card) and insert it into a card reader with a USB C connection. When I use my laptop ( which had an SD card reader slot) I just put the micro SD card into the SD card reader, that comes with all micro SD cards that you purchase, and slide that SD card reader into the slot in my laptop.
Hope that made sense.
@@Aerial.Imaging you are very welcome. I actually think it's much easier to just pull out the memory card and stick it into my laptop for transferring files from all my action cameras. The GoPro had a very nice app or PC program that does recognize the device when plugged in but it's just easier pulling the videos off the card myself. So i don't even use the very nice GoPro app when using any of my GoPros. Glad I could help and make sure you get in on my big giveaway.
Kudos to Hayes for taking the time to reply back to so many people.
I actually don't mind. And since my channel is smaller than those huge tech channels, it gives me a chance to reply to was many comments as I can.
best review on this camera, i’ll try and keep up on your channel
Thank you. I really do appreciate that. And as soon as things get a little better, financially, in this world I have many more videos planned. I've been struggling to get products to review because of the way things are going. So I have to resort to catching up on back burner videos... Lol.. I have also started to make more videos on my other RUclips channel "Life, Post Stroke".
I can’t believe as good quality as you are able to get out of this than it does not have image stabilization
As long as you hold the camera at steady it will take pretty good video for a camera costing less then $50.00 US.
@@HayesTech Thank you
The microphone thing is not such a big deal anymore these days. Better to get something like a handheld Zoom audio recorder anyway and use a lavalier microphone clipped with a windscreen on it. Even just one of the inexpensive "note taking" recorders would give you good audio with a lavalier - just make sure it has a mic input. This lets you film yourself without have a cord stretched across to a camera (removing all distance limitations), and a lavalier mic clipped in your shirt will beat even an expensive camera's microphone at a distance away from you. I picked up a refurbished Zoom recorder and even the cheapest lavalier mic on Amazon works great with it to record my voice.
Most all editing packages make it crazy easy now to automatically sync audio from a completely external source by just doing a couple hand claps at the start that get captured by the camera mic, AND your portable recorder. You literally just import both the video and audio and click a single button to invoke the automatic sync and line things up. I'm using Videostudio 2019, but even Videostudio X9, which I upgraded to it from after seeing all the new features that I would pick up from the newer versions of X10, then 2018 and finally the 2019 release. And you can get X9 from under $20 now which has multicam support and automatic syncing...
p.s., buying the "old" X9 is the BEST way to get VideoStudio 2019. After you install it, it will give you an offer to upgrade it to 2019 for $34.99, so all in all, you'll just end up paying under $55 to get a completely up to date VideoStudio 2019 with all its bells and whistles. Good program at a great price. I watched all the "what's new" videos for the three newer releases and just kept track of what features would benefit me, and after watching all three it was a no brainer to upgrade for all that it would offer...
Yes, they are easy to edit. I love mine. My grandson uses it mostly now but for the money, I can still highly recommend them.
GREAT VIDEO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS !!!!
Sorry to hear about your stroke, hang in there YOUR DOING AMAZING!!!! And don’t sweat the shaking it shouldn’t bother anyone!!!!
Thank you very much for the positive comment. I really do appreciate it.
Thank you so much I just got this caerma I used to do geoaching until my youtube got banned cause of playing music from twitch and had no idea I had dmcas, but hye thanks again
@@badangel4214
Hopefully you bet back up and making videos soon. Make a new channel. Yes, RUclips sucks with all the regulations they are apposing on us.
Only if everything was as straight to the point and simple as your videos, your video is 5/5 stars. Great work!
Thank you so much for your very nice comment. You have no clue how much comments like this make my day. It's my birthday today and as I was going through my emails, I was very happy to read your comment. Thank you again. And be sure to check out my reviews on other action cameras. I will also be reviewing more, as I can afford to get them, since I don't take sample cameras. I like to purchase them and get what everything eles gets.
@@HayesTech Anytime man! Keep doing what you do : )
Hey David,
Thank you for sharing each and every detail of the Camera. Loved it when you went back and forth between 4K/30FPS and 1080P/60FPS in your demo. That was really helpful. I do agree that the mic of the camera is a downside, but nonetheless, I am considering to make this small investment to get into the vlogging/travel space. Thanks again, from India.
PS: Also, hope your health has improved. :)
Thank you and for right now, I am still mostly numb on my right side. I'm hoping that I can get at least some of that back.
Hi guy, Can I run this through my galaxy 7 phone, use it for a vid cam, use my phone mic instead, while I do a zoom session ? I teach piano and need a better video picture of the whole keyboard. Thanks.
I wish I could answer that but I don't use wifi with any of my cameras and wouldn't know where to start. It does have WiFi built in, as does the vision 4. But actually using it, I haven't a clue. Yet... I'm planning on love streaming too and will have to figure that all out .
I would look into the vision 4 since it has more features and it's only about $10.00 more.
Hi, the software is called XDV
Not xvd
Thank you for clarifying that for me. Yes I do screw up from time to time...lol...
this cam does not have good audio, but that's expected. It sounds like they use a mobile phone microphone component. Buzzy distortion. Un-listenable. So yes, even for any application you'd have to record separate audio and edit together in post production.
I would have to agree with you on that. I would record the audio separately and dub it in later.
Ty for ur help.
You are very welcome.
Can you get an nd filter for this? I really want one for mine makes the picture so much better
I'm not sure if the ones for the GoPro will work if modded. The issue is getting it to stay on. But no, they do not make one specifically for this camera.
I personally spent a few more dollars for the Vision4 because it has image stabilization, external mic port, and a few other extra options, although I primarily use it for 1080@60fps for kids sports. The EIS actually works well for a cheaper camera. My only real complaint is there is no option to disable the fisheye look natively, although it is touted as a wide angle lens.
Also for an app on Android and ipad, I use "iSmart DV" which is compatible with a wide range of these cheaper cams but still a decent interface.
Thanks for sharing I have the same camera.Its not to bad
Especially when you think about what they cost. That's what's really crazy. I've reviewed cheap action cameras in the $139.00 to $200.00 range, and they are awesome cameras. But, they cost 3 to 5 times what this one cost.
Thanks again for watching and for the comment, I do appreciate it.
@@HayesTech thank you 🙏
how can i turn off the time and date on the screen???? i see no setting for time stamp????? help..
That is in settings. I think I went over that. I may not have too, it's been a while since I made this video. But it's in the settings.
Saludos desde México me gustó el video y pues me ayudó a saber que es lo que contiene y la definición que tiene mi Dragon touch visión 3 que acabo de comprar
Thank you so much for the awesome comment. I had to translate it, as I don't speak much Spanish, but that's just fine. I plan on visiting Mexico some day too. The only place I was ever in, in Mexico, was Tijuana jn the 80's (when I was in the Navy). But some day I plan on visiting again. You have a very beautiful country.
I have looked for the vision 4 and cannot find it
Hey everyone, just wanted to mention that I reviewed the DragonTouch 4k Vision 4 and it's basically the same camera but with image stabilization and am external microphone. They even supply the mic, it's a lapel microphone. And it actually sounds great. Here is the link to that video..
ruclips.net/video/yLNpTTMNMV8/видео.html
Very well done David. I would like to mention something if I could.
I scratched my lens on another action camera by placing it down on the lens side. Unless the camera is in a protective case the lens is exposed. if the lens was in an inset or had a protective lens cover like on 35 millimeter camera, it would be protected. I now have the Dragon Touch. I intend to be more careful how I set the camera down.
That sucks man. I have screwed up lenses on other cameras by scratching them and it sucks when that happens.
Is there a dragon action cam that has image stabilization. Because everything that you’re demonstrating is very good except it is slacking image stabilization if you’re out on the street using it
Yes. The Dragontoutch vision 4. It's about $60.00. I did a video on that camera too.
@@HayesTech No longer seems to be available in US
@@pjcardone164 that sucks... Well then I would save up and get an Akaso Brave 7LE. It has very good image stabilization. And for $199.00 you can't beat the XTU X1 too. Both cameras I reviewed as well.
@@HayesTech I strongly considered the brave 7LE and thot I saw a video that an external mic could be used BUT amazon says no.....sigh
@@HayesTech I considered the Brave 7LE and thot I saw a video of it and, that an external mic could be used.....but amazon says no! sigh
Great review...IAM actually receiving this camera tomorrow..I wish I watched this before I purchased..I was wanting to use this as a vlog,an for pictures..I was think that the 1080. 60 fps def looked the best...do you think I CLD just use the 60fps all the time?
Hello My DragonTouch Vision3 is frozen at opening. Help! Anyone know the fix for this....
Brand new or first start up? If its been running already and just decided to start freezing up, I would try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, and the camera is fairly new, I would send it back, after contacting the place you purchased it from.
@@HayesTech I'm doing that, returning it, today..... Thanks
@@josephg534
That's great. Hopefully they get it right for you.
I ordered this for my race quad
Awesome... Let me know how you like it. I still love the video quality i get out of mine. I just have to record audio separately (if I want the audio on a more professional level). Then some day if you're funds increase a big you can look into getting the Akaso V50 Pro. You will really like that one too. Good luck with your quad and be careful.
@@HayesTech love it its lightweight good video quality (the remote works haha) im going order one more because what u get for the price is amazing
@@relentless4g63t it is, in my humble opinion, the best action camera in this price range. I've tried several others at around $45.00 and under and I wouldn't even give them video time because of how bad they were. I was, and still am, very surprised at how much camera you get with @$45.00... I just reviewed the $50.00 DragonTouch Vision 4 and found it to be equally as good, with inmage stabilization... You should check out that video too. Oh and did I mention that it comes with an external microphone... Because it does.. And on this one the external mic actually sounds great.
what case do i use when i want to do a scooter video
I would use the watertight case. Just in case it rains or something wet were to come in contact with it.
Hi dave great video, have you found anyway to sharpen the audio a little, just asking. I just got the dtv3, good video but sound is blah. Thank you.
from a reply a made, since it may help you:

i hope you are well :-) ... with accessories like tripod and other extensions do i need to buy a specific brand or will any do from amazon... thanks
Any tripod should work just fine. There if a screw hole on the bottom of the camera that should accommodate any tripod using 1/4" threads (which is the standard dimension).
Good luck to you and thank you for watching and for commenting.
@@HayesTech Thanks David I just received the camera as a gift earlier today so I thought I would use it to its full potential thanks for the quick response :-)
I did everything the directions said to sync it to my phone, but I can’t get it to work. Do you need to use Bluetooth?
Yes, you need to use Bluetooth. The app for this camera is not the best, I will agree with that. Just keep trying and it will eventually connect. I ha a to install and uninstall the app like 3 times still I finally got it to work.
Hey David, question, how sturdy is the tripod case, do you think its sturdy enough to move around, like hand held and would not fall out, plz reply, thanks
good enough...lol.. I think I paid like under 10 bucks for it from amazon so it isn't the greatest but it does what I need it to do. I am trying to upgrade my RUclips recording tools since this is all I have to do lately, I want to take it a bit more seriously now.
@@HayesTech thanks for replying, seek God and he will guide you in all your ways ( your channel too) I will subscribe, thanks for the reply.
@@ianrobertson1394
You sir are very welcome. I try to answer all comments, if I can...lol.. That's one good thing about having a smaller channel, it makes it much easier to respond to everyone. 😁
Thanks for the video. I was wondering what version of xvd you used. I see several.
It didn't com with a tripod case. The camera enclosure (nonwaterproof) is very sturdy as is the waterproof case. All the accessories are about as sturdy as GoPro branded stuff too.
Excellent review! What is the longest loop recording, will it do 10 minute loops? thanks
Not sure what you mean by loop.. If you mean for using it as a car video camera, than it all depends on how big an SD card you put into it. It will use all the space up and then record back over itself. This would make a good car video camera.
Would you mind telling me how to turn the little music sound off when it turns on.. I turned the sound off and no beeping when scrolling.. But when turning the camera on it still makes the noise.. Can't have that! Thank you!!
You can't turn off the boot up sound, unfortunately. I agree, it's awful and they should have left that feature out.
@@HayesTech wow!! Thank you for your quick response!!. That's a killer!! For $57 I'll keep it and use it accordingly!! 🙄
@@philipbyersoutdoors3295
It's a good camera. Too bad you couldn't afford about $100.00. The Akaso V50 Pro is in my opinion one of the best action cameras for the money. I use mine regularly and a lot of my videos today has footage from that camera.
One thing I love about still having a small change is that I can still answer almost every question. I would love for my channel to grow but I do like being able to answer almost everyone. Don't forget to get in on my biggest giveaway yet too. There is still a couple weeks left till I have the drawing.
@@HayesTech I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to answer them.. I did subscribe as you suggested. Woohoo! I love good competition!! LOL!!
How much does it cost?
The Vision 3 costs about $50.00. I've put out another video showing the updated Vision 4 that costs only about $10.00 more but has way more features, like image stabilization and comes with an external microphone. I would seriously look into that one if this is in the price range you can afford. And I know what it's like, I have to purchase all the items I review.
Man, that mic isn't recording very well
Yes, the mic on this action camera isn't the best. It's really it's only downfall.
@@HayesTech yeah I just now purchased this myself.. it came today actually like an hour ago lol.. but yeah.. I'm mostly going to he using it for fishing on my kayak and stuff like that.. hopefully it will pick up the sound not too bad.. that's the only thing I'm really worried about.. I bought a 64gb card for it.. that should be enough for now right? Anyways.. thanks for responding
@@GreenTea4101
I recommend using your phone and a microphone to record audio, especially if you have it in it's water proof case. Or you can even pick up a cheap audio recorder you can keep in you pocket while recording video. You will have to sync the audio with your video in post though, but if I can do it, anyone can. Good luck to you and your videos.
are these compatible with Apple computers (plug and play/download) ..?
That I couldn't tell ya. Since I don't open any, I couldn't test that.
Hey bro it was a cool review except u didn't show the video quality in first person with the camera moving, we'r still have no idea if image stabilization is needed for whatever the cameras for
The DragonTouch vision 3 has no image stabilization and the DragonTouch vision 4 does. And it works.
Sorry the review wasn't what you wanted, I was asked by many of my subs if this would make a good Vlogging camera and that's how I based the review on.
Thank you for watching and for commenting, it's much appreciated.
This was a great help, thanks!
You are very welcome and thank you for watching the video.
upload a min of footage take with the camera for hte sake of the viewer and ur quality
I actually have some videos out with forage. They are great little cameras, for what they cost and I still highly recommend them for those that can't afford a Go-Pro.
So the sound isn’t very good
No it's not. I've not found an action camera in this price range that had good doing quality yet. Actually, I take that back, the Dragon Touch vision 4 comes with an external microphone and it didn't sound that bad. It's not perfect but way better that the vision 3 and good enough to use in videos. Again, I would recommend using like the Zoom H1n and your favorite cheap lapel mic, but if Vision 4 and the external mic they give you will work. That camera if only about $10.00 more than the Vision 3 too, so it's worth getting over the one in this video.
Now for about $125.00 the Akaso V50 Pro has some of the best audio for a cheap action camera, in you can afford that much, go to that camera.
I hope this helps. And don't forget to get in on my huge giveaway. The link is pinned in the comments section.
Hi David, have you reviewed any other action cameras like Campark X20, or Crosstour Ct9100 ? Like your review on Dragon Touch.
I've reviewed several. The ThiEye, Akaso V50 Pro and one other, that I can't remember right now. All are on my channel. Thank you so much for watching and for posting. I'll be doing more videos on various action cameras, as soon as I get the money too.
WARNING!! This camera does not work as for filming, the duration is only 5minutes and cut it self off and you have to re stared again and continue to recording, it does not continue to record continuously, and the batteries they deplete fast as well, it is not word-ted to buy it, I do not recommended, for people that wants to film with out stopping every 5 minutes.
You go into settings and change the record duration from the minimum of 5 minutes to it's max. I forget recently what that is off hand but it's longer then 5 minutes.
This isn't the greatest camera out either, but for about $50, it's better than most others in this price range.
Does it support a usb power bank
I don't know. I didn't test that and no longer have that camera for testing. Sorry about that.
it will charge off a usb power bank
@@ceaseless246 Thank you very much for helping out.
I am having a new drawing for another giveaway in about a week or two. I am giving away a vlogging light for use on your cell phone while vlogging. If you want in watch this video @TDNg
Hi David, I just got my DragonTouch 4K. I have a micro 256 sd card, but it won't recognize the card. any help to fix it
Yes, don't use anything bigger than a 64Gb card. What they tell you in their description and what works in practical life is totally different. That's what I used in the video and right now in it and it's working fine. 64Gb... Hope that helps. Thank you for watching.
@@HayesTech I got the class 10 micro sd card, and the dragon touch 4k still won't recognize it.
@@smoke-kesbbq1260 then there is something wrong with the card. I use Sandisk only. It's in my opinion, the best of the best. But any card should work, as long as it's a class 6 or higher, so I would say that something is wrong with the camera now.
@@HayesTech So i got a sands Class 10 sd card. plugged it in the right way and still won't accept the card. says there isn't enough memory space in the card. I am returning the two camera and sd cards back to amazon
👍✌️in, keep those videos coming great review.
Thanks John. I have a lot more planned. This is really the only thing keeping me same since I can't work... Lol...
Good video but I believe that the extra back cover is also water proof
It is not it has two big open slots on the extra cover.
😅
Hey David I was wondering with that camera will the camera power up without the memory card and if so you can view on phone or tablet does that mean you can save on other devices without memory card?
You can power it up without a memory card but if you try to use the camera you get a notification telling you the memory card is missing, to put in the memory card before recording.
So it only works via a memory card. There is Bluetooth on the new version but it's only to work the remote controller.
DragonTouch just released another device that's about $75.00 that has inmage stabilization and wifi. As soon as I can afford to pick one up I will test it. For right now the Akaso V50 Pro is the camera I would recommend to everyone who needs GoPro like features but are stuck on cheaper action camera budgets.
I see it is no longer available, good grief
hey could you buy a mic from amazon and put it on the go pro
You cannot, amazon reviews state it doesn't support external mics.
HEY that's the one i have, not too bad , the stabilization not too good but for the price its a good one.
You should check out the vision 4. It's about $10.00 more but has image stabilization and an external microphone. If this is all you can afford, it's well worth it.
I put out a couple videos on it too. Just check out my channel for the video and don't forget to get in on my big giveaway. You don't have to do anything but comment in the video and be subscribed.
I will also be updating this video to go head to head with another cheap action camera and my GoPros. So be looking for that video. I am planning some other giveaways too, they will be for the Logitec and No Name PC web cameras. So watch for that video soon,
what do i use when i’m swimming underwater and is the remote waterproof
You need to use the water proof housing to put the camera into, before submerging it into any water. The remote does not work under water either. You will have to physically push the record button. All camera control buttons are accessable through the water proof housing too.
I hope that helped and don't forget to get in on my largest giveaway too. There is still time and link is pinned here in the comments section
Also, audio is going to sound terrible, in the case and under water.
David Hayes okay thanks, also does it come with a headband thing to put around your head underwater
@@maddie3113
No. But it does come with many attachment pieces and like 4 or more Velcro strips. I'm sure you can do something with what you get in the box, to be able to mount it to your forehead.

I bought a Dragon Touch camera on Amazon about 2 months ago. It sucked really bad. I won't bore you with the details just read my review on Amazon. It's the review that complains about Dragon Touch harassing me for days with a bombardment of emails, trying to get me to delete my negative review. They're a bunch of clowns and their products break down and are NOT reliable.
jesus why you shaking.
You talk 2 much and says nothing....what about the instructions?????Lets go straight to the point !!!!
lol... too bad you didn't like it. You aren"t forced to watch you know. And instructions to what? You point and hit the record button. They are made to be pretty much idiot proof. Thanks for watching, I guess. And for commenting.
I just purchased this camera and THIS VIDEO AND THE FOLLOW UP VIDEO IS THE BEST ON RUclips !!!
@@vsetkoumiera7683 thank you. I really do appreciate it.
So if you card is over 64GB it won’t except it?
It should accept it, but it will only show the highest amount that the camera accepts. So if you have a 128Gb card and put it in it will show that you have only 64Gb.
