How does this do in Very low light settings? Specifically, a pitch black room with 2 Neewer 176 LED lights pointed on a subject? I don't care about 4k, stabilization, audio quality. I just need an action cam that shoots good video in low to no light. ..and doesn't come out super grainy and horrible.
you're the best sjcam camera reviewer I found so far! great job! keep on showing what viewers want to see, not just your perspectives 😀 you're awesome!
Hello! Thank you for your review! I have this camera and I'm thinking about an update, which camera do you suggest me? I was thinking about a Akaso Brave 6 Plus.
another great review buddy....i already have the SJ5000x Elie, very happy with it...i think comparing the SJ6 with SJ7, i should be be ordering the SJ7....wanted to ask , do they use same batteries as the SJ5000 or their previous cameras?
Does it have anti shake. Recording in 1080 p. Would this be fine for a kids and bike rides, at sporting.events, skate boarding? Under water filming, scuba, snorkle, swiming. 8 know you did not try this part. As afar as it getting warm. Is this a danger? Can you buy battery charger and chage battery that way?
Hi mate! another excellent revie and now i am more undecided: which cam should I go for? This one or the Firefly 8Se (which would be 20 USD more xpensive for me or get for a definitely cheaper one with Campark x20???
Hi, Very good review.Please ask me two questions, if you have time: 1) In an unboxing review, I saw that on the touchscreen plastic protective foil writes: "Notice: Please power off when charging". You can use external power banks or car accumulator during recording? Did you test? Because at that moment SJCAM is "ON" and charging, what it is against the manufacturer's indication. In the manual it does not explain this. I saw 5000X ELITE can do it. 2) For a longer recording, the file is split into several 4GB files, like the 32FAT SD CARD? Or the whole record is saved in a single file, exFAT SD CARD? I'm asking because I have a camera that to read SD cards larger than 32GB requires 32FAT formatting in a computer in advance. And the files are limited to 3.87GB about 30 minutes in 1080p 30f. With a 64GB card it can record 8 hours in 1080p 30f. Thank you very much.
hi, Thanks for watching. You can record while the camera it's charging. For the 2nd question i cannot confirm... i i don't record long files... i always start and stop the recordings.
What action camera would you recommend for under £150? There are so many out there, but I need one with good quality and stabilization? Hopefully I can find a stabilizer and drone for cheap as well!
So I am looking to buy my first action camera. Something under $100. While I have not made up my mind as of yet. I just wanted to thank you for your videos .They are very very helpful.
+Telly Schwartz thanks for watching! Check out the camera i reviewed yesterday, the ThiEYE T5e. Super nice recordings and it costs $109. There is a link and coupon code in the video's description
Can it be used as a webcam via usb? How much of a downside is the missing screw mount? If I always have to have it in it's case, will that get annoying quick?
Best review, on SJCAM SJ7 Star, I have seen so far, thank you.👍Does it come with a bike mount, or do I have to buy one? I am kinda relieved after watching your review as mine is on its way.
I think that problem has to do with slow sd cards. The sj8 pro is better, but you should also check out the Yi 4K+...that is my all time favourite camera
@@RedskullPro yes but i found both cameras at 120 euros.totally different price.thank you.by the way the sj7 have options for different ratios and the sj8 pro has a zoom right?no options for let' s say 4:3,16:9 etc.just a wide angle lens.
Great review of a quality camera that is one of the few that can record at night. With a waterproof case and that watch controller, it would be a great dive camera!
I have now switched to the GoPro Hero 7 Black....My SJCAM SJ8 Pro broke within a couple of months of using it (shut off and wouldn't turn on at all). SJCAM told me to contact the seller which I did who offered to send me a new one...it never arrived. They supposedly sent a second (from Malaysia again) it never arrived again. Then the seller said they would refund me...never happened despite repeated promises. I contacted SJCAM to tell them I wanted to get a replacement and sent them video of the malfunction (like I did to the seller). They erased my help ticket like it never existed...I haven't heard back from them...I'm done with SJCAM...which is sad because I like the SJ7 STAR for cockpit audio when I fly. The only problem I've had with the two SJ7 STAR cameras is that the micro usb port has broken off in both cameras (I superglued a micro usb to usb cable on the second one before it totally broke off so I could keep using it in the plane while charging it at the same time with a USB power supply). The first SJ7 would not record sound after the micro usb port broke (while using the plug in official SJCAM microphone. The GoPro Hero 7 surpasses everything...that's all I'm saying..the only problem is that it's never going to be as cheap as SJCAM. I did all of my video reviewing with the SJ7 and SJ8 but they will be retired soon with GoPro cameras. The hypersmooth technology is what sold me and it is great. I do not have room in the plane to have a gyro. UPDATE: They also took down my 2nd help ticket without anything said....DO NOT BUY SJCAM!!!!....or should we call it SCAM and make the J silent?
Thank you very much for posting this! It's exactly the information I was looking for. I would like to get an action camera mainly for using on my motorcycle. The reviews I read about GoPro cameras were absolutely terrible - especially about their customer service which is apparently almost non-existent. That led me to the SJ7. I have a couple questions. Sorry if their really basic but I haven't done any video in a long time and that was with regular digital video cameras. 1) After watching another video about the SJ7, I was reminded that I will need video editing software that can handle 4K videos. The only video editing software I have is Windows Movie Maker (the old version that came with XP is better and I have that too on my W10 machine) and also a basic stripped down free version by Cyberlink that I've never used. So, I need video editing software but I don't want anything fancy. I just need something basic that can render 4K, add music, and do basic editing. Can you recommend something that would meet those needs? 2) I'm sure this works with the camera but I just want to make sure: I have USB outlets on my bike. If I plug it in, will the camera battery be charging while using it? Thanks again for an excellent video.
hi, i can't really answer the 1st question... back in the day i used to use the Windows movie maker...because i was new at editing and that was very simple...but for the past 2.5 years i moved to a Mac and i am using Final Cut Pro X. For your 2nd question, yes the camera can record while it's charging. Thanks for watching!
I've bought this camera and I'm not happy at all. first of all, losing a lot of videos .. I recorded some places on a trip when I came back with great regret I saw that they did not exist in the SD card. This happens many times (and they do not have an update to fix the problem and I do not think to do it after the sj8 came out) and when I sent a message to the company to give me a reply or some solution to the problem .. just did not dislike it (lot of bad and product support ...) too well the colors, like taking over 60frame is miserable .. (note: Apologize for my English as they are translating from google translate. .)
@@RedskullPro thanks anyway I got a deal in local online shopping site I got sj7 star in roughly 75$ only on 12.12 sale from sjcam official account.....the site is Shopee but it's for Philippines only
Hi i have 2 problems .... 1 I no longer work on the "small one" front panel and I did in the menu I did not know what the FPV was and now I see nothing more I try to turn it on but after 1 second you are back, you could help me
Can this be mounted to your body with additional accessories? I want to get this mainly for when I go hiking and need something that I could use hands-free
QUESTION! what is better? sj6 legend or sj7 star? or is there a other one under 170$? i want to use it for fast movements and sports so the camera may wiggle while moving so it should stabilize and not lagg. thank you ! :)
+Agrossamg Panda the stabilization is better on the SJ6 but the video quality is better on the sj7. Check out my review of the ThiEYE t5e from last week as well
I like your video and subscribed to it. Is the camera good for using as a dashcam? If used as a dashcam, can we read the numberplate at night? Also the camera does not have a 1/4 inch screw mount. Any sugesstion for tripod mount?
Hello Redskull, my compliments for this very informative video! I have two more questions I would like to ask: 1. If you have started videorecording, the recording button on top of the camera will keep on flashing. But there is no indicatorlight at the front which is telling "other people" that you are actualle recording? This is to me a real advantage, cause it's more discrete in some situations. 2. For this camera there is also a clipon available like for the cheaper M10+? Because I would like to clip it to my body (i.e. belt) when walking or biking. Advanced thanks for your answer!
Thank you for the quick response. Regarding the turning off the LEDs on the front: 1. You use the Settings menu for that? 2. While recording, the button on top is still flashing so that the one who is operating the camera, can still see it is recording?
FYI, I just poked around on SJCAM's site and it appears that they rolled out a fix for the poor low light performance with 1080p, as shown in this link, at least in version 1.17 of the firmware update's changelog - support.sjcam.com/support/solutions/articles/9000137160-sj7-star-latest-firmware-update-v1-20 "16. Adds Auto Low Light support for all resolutions. Auto low light mode turned on by default." They are all way up to version 1.20 for the latest firmware update, so anyone updating to that will also get the fix for the poor low light with that.
THIS or ODRVM 4K or GoPro Session 5? I want to buy an action camera soon!! My priority is Image stabilisation, auto exposure adjustment and crispy quality of 2k/4k capture. Thanks!
Redskull That's $327! The gopro session 5 is only $266. I don't want to spend anything more than that. Do you have any other suggestions? In your top budget cameras you spoke highly of thieye 4k, is that any good?
oh...on Amazon US it was $265 last time i checked...that's why i suggested that one. The thieye t5e works great but it doesn't have image stabilization for 4k recordings
Redskull oh right, but does thieye allow IS at 2.7K? If not do you think gopro session 5 is a better option with regards, even though it's 3 times the price? Thank you
Hi I also own the SJ7 with the latest firmware version 1.15, but there is no entry in the menu to change the angle of shooting .......... great review A greeting Eugene
Try to get a different water proof case for the camera. The case they sent with the camera to me let the air to leak inside the case. Due to that there was moisture formed inside the case and damaged the lens. SJCAM shut the door for me over the repair/replacement stating that the damage is due to water and warranty don't cover the water related issues. Now trying to find a solution through seller (GearBest).
Very nice review, thanks! I'm waiting for my own SJCAM SJ7 STAR to arrive from China, so I'm really looking forward to test is and use it, specially riding the bike.
Alex plz do tell me thieyet5e is better than this or not I'm completely confused in both of them. Will gopro mounts will in both of them? Thnkz for helping us Alex i really like ur videos. Plz do help me
Hi redskull! I have a question, so is the footage on the sj7 star comparable to the sj6 legend? Btw I felt like that you could have added footage of it while doing sports in the start of the video, to make this video more interesting!
Brother, i am planning to get sjcam seven star, but accessories like selfie rod, tripod stand, chest mount, head mount are not included..... and i searched amazon for “50 in 1 accessories for action camera” and i could not find any product that has mentioned “sj cam 7 star” it has only mentioned like “go pro 7,6,5,4, sj4,sj5,sj6” but not sj seven star...... what should i do, does that accessories fit on sj seven star ?
guys i have a question i have a sj7 star but when i record is usually doing too much contrast with the light of the sun .. when there is a strong light the recording appear too much lithfull like pink why?i have a 32 gb sandisk is fine?
One of the best reviews ive seen .
+Troy kirchner im glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
+1
+2 Agreed.
Does this camera have any type of Linear mode or Lens distortion correction?
I don't want the fish-eye look for videos
How does this do in Very low light settings?
Specifically, a pitch black room with 2 Neewer 176 LED lights pointed on a subject?
I don't care about 4k, stabilization, audio quality.
I just need an action cam that shoots good video in low to no light.
..and doesn't come out super grainy and horrible.
External microphone makes a significant difference
+VelronTech oh yeah, absolutely, a must have
External microphone in Mono, not Stereo :-(
True
May I know the brand of external microphone.
Can you please recommend stabilization tool that can mount with this camera.
The external mic is SJ Branded... so it is in-house production for their cameras...
you're the best sjcam camera reviewer I found so far! great job! keep on showing what viewers want to see, not just your perspectives 😀
you're awesome!
+Tasker I'm glad you found it useful, thanks for watching!

Hola Redskull, ¿Qué cámara prefieres? , ¿SJCAM SJ7, Xiaomi Mijia o la Sj6 Legend?

Hello i have this cam, and today i buy an external mic original sjcam for sj7 star, and it don´t work, i don´t know how to put external mic work

thank you for the video helped me to decide my options
Happy to help!
Mine camera doesn’t have the hdmi slot ? Just usb and sd card slots? What’s up with that
What action camera would you recommend for under £150? There are so many out there, but I need one with good quality and stabilization? Hopefully I can find a stabilizer and drone for cheap as well!
a cheap one that records decent is the Apeman A80. Check it's review on my channel
Great video as always. What do you think about the price?
Well...a bit expensive...but considering that the other alternative is the Xiaomi Yi...and that's even more expensive.... i think it's alright
probably the best action camera review

THIS or ODRVM 4K or GoPro Session 5? I want to buy an action camera soon!! My priority is Image stabilisation, auto exposure adjustment and crispy quality of 2k/4k capture.
Thanks!
+T check out my review of the Yi 4K+ posted about a week ago. That is the best camera i tried so far.
Redskull That's $327! The gopro session 5 is only $266. I don't want to spend anything more than that. Do you have any other suggestions? In your top budget cameras you spoke highly of thieye 4k, is that any good?
oh...on Amazon US it was $265 last time i checked...that's why i suggested that one. The thieye t5e works great but it doesn't have image stabilization for 4k recordings
Redskull oh right, but does thieye allow IS at 2.7K? If not do you think gopro session 5 is a better option with regards, even though it's 3 times the price? Thank you
are you having black parallel lines on your pics/videos? it usually happens during sunny day. the white sky has some black lines :(
Can we scuba dive with this?
Yes you can
looks like it has a wide angle lens cause i am seeing some fish eye effect in some shots but overall i'm pretty impressed
it's 166 degree, but the field of view can be changed from the settings
Hi I also own the SJ7 with the latest firmware version 1.15, but there is no entry in the menu to change the angle of shooting .......... great review A greeting Eugene
Try to get a different water proof case for the camera. The case they sent with the camera to me let the air to leak inside the case. Due to that there was moisture formed inside the case and damaged the lens. SJCAM shut the door for me over the repair/replacement stating that the damage is due to water and warranty don't cover the water related issues. Now trying to find a solution through seller (GearBest).
thanks for sharing
Very nice review, thanks!
I'm waiting for my own SJCAM SJ7 STAR to arrive from China, so I'm really looking forward to test is and use it, specially riding the bike.
Daniel Conde China se lene par custom duty kitni lagi ?

Great detailed review, I think I may have to pick one up.

Alex plz do tell me thieyet5e is better than this or not I'm completely confused in both of them. Will gopro mounts will in both of them?
Thnkz for helping us Alex i really like ur videos. Plz do help me
i personally prefer the sj7 star but it is more expensive. gopro accesories fit both except for the waterproof cases
Alex does the package gives only one battery or two????
Awesome vid alex
+AJMakesVids thanks for watching boss!
Hi redskull! I have a question, so is the footage on the sj7 star comparable to the sj6 legend? Btw I felt like that you could have added footage of it while doing sports in the start of the video, to make this video more interesting!
Im not a very sporty person :) The footage from the sj7 is better than the one from the sj6
Oh ok, thx : )
Brother, i am planning to get sjcam seven star, but accessories like selfie rod, tripod stand, chest mount, head mount are not included..... and i searched amazon for “50 in 1 accessories for action camera” and i could not find any product that has mentioned “sj cam 7 star” it has only mentioned like “go pro 7,6,5,4, sj4,sj5,sj6” but not sj seven star...... what should i do, does that accessories fit on sj seven star ?
they will fit
Can you please show or write the setting about timelapse?

+Rahul Singh only one i think
Great Review! Thanks for the hard work.

For 200 usd there is Sony HDR-AS50 in my local store.
Redskull, what would you recommend: SJCAM SJ7 or Sony AS50?
i never tried that one...i can't say
