      There is now a GoPro hero edition 2014 for £99. This is an amazing camera with 1080p 5mp and 720p. I'd definitely go with this if u have the budget. Check it out at www.gopro.com

      The black version is great when you want to film incognito. Filming who is messing with a friend's chained bike outside every night. The black Cube was oriented, sitting on an iron gate/fence pointing to the bike. Since it was black, and the fence is black, and it's night, you couldn't even see the thing sitting there! And yes, we got clear video of the vandal and turned in the video to the cops...

      I love the magnet. It sticks anywhere on my car. It sticks to the railing for my stairs. It sticks to the cubical walls at work. It will even stick to the corner of dry walls (the corners use a metal strip on them). It sticks to my adjustable arm desk lamp! Plus, you can get a tripod fitting magnet with the similar curve and mount it, magnetically, to a tripod! I have the waterproof housing and take this snorkeling! It's quite a nice camera to play with! I glued a neodymium magnet to my kite and sent it up into the sky!

      @@Dogmom27 I can't use it to read license plates from my bike when both the bike and the car are in motion so it's not a good after-incident safety cam. But it's pretty good for recreational purposes, the plastic bike mount that goes with it is not very good but with a rubber band to reduce the vibration it works nicely for "fun" videos. Think back 10 years and imagine what kind of video camera you could get for $30, pretty amazing really even if it's just a toy.

      Calida I wasn't complaining - just clarifying. Many people really think that the Polaroid products must automatically be good because of all their years of history making cameras. I get similar emails about the Kodak action cameras that are identical models to the ION and Monoprice cameras - I believe it's important to ensure that people know exactly what they are buying and why the names and logos are no guarantee of anything (good or bad).

    The magnet is a great and useful part of this camera. Lots of stuff in my life is metal. I stuck it to the roof of my Jeep and drove down the road at over 60mph and it stayed on the entire 40 minute drive! On my Kayak, I have a metal plate under the carry handle. The camera sticks quite well to the plastic kayak magetized through the kayak and holding onto the metal plate. I took the metal plate that came with the packaging and epoxy'd a 10X20 nut to the plate. Now, it has a threaded camera mount! I went to my local hardware shop and purchased some metal sheet and cut out my own metal squares. Now I not only have a camera mount, I have a velcro mount, a 3M quick release mount, a suction cup mount, and a special mount I created that allows you to use rubberbands or bungies to hold it in place!

    We had a couple of those that we used to use for field aid research at university. The lack of auto stabilization on video wasn’t much of a downside since we used a small mechanical stabilizer mount we adapted for it but it was still a big hassle. The cameras themselves were also not stock, for one we changed the magnet for a stronger one and put a protection film between it and the camera to prevent EMI and because the process of changing that was mostly destructive, we commissioned clear polycarb shells as replacement for the original pastel color shells they came with. All because we didn’t have access to the optionals for it at the time. Eventually the original couple got given away to one of the group members for another study and we got a new set of them with polycarb protective shells and used something akin to SwitchBots to record video from a distance (basically a RF receiver on a solenoid that activated a small piston to do the button presses required for recording from a few feet away). Pretty nifty thing, that camera. But let’s say that they are not that blast proof.

    Just get the new cheap gopro. It is superior to this piece of crap. Gopro is waterproof and has tons of accessories. Gopro has replaceable batteries and a screen.

      If you bought a waterproof case with the Polaroid it would still be cheaper than the session.

    One thing that stands out is the makes have obviously taken some time on design.
    Right down to the Interface.
    A nicely designed product, aesthetically pleasing, and packaging above the norm, with good day to day functionality without having some of the latest features - Sort of like an iphone. Steve Jobs would have been proud.

    Most of the steel you find outdoors is stainless, because stainless is designed to resist corrosion (ie rust). It does that very well, but it also isn't very magnetic.

    As always Mat thanks for the upload!
    I own a Mobius and for me the most annoying thing is the 3 buttons, I find them unnecessarily complicated. I'm tempted by this Cube purely for the ease of use with the one button. As a biker yourself I'm sure you will understand how hard it is to press things when you have your gloves on. Another thing that tempts me is the range of mounts that will be available, as I would use it to put on my helmet or mount to my handlebars etc. The issue of no tripod thread doesn't bother me because if I do ever mount something to a tripod I generally use my AS-15....hmmm, very tempted indeed, you've given me food for thought!
    Thanks once again

  • @TheDudes115

    So I'm not sure if you would be able to answer this but I would really appreciate it, so i recently recorded with the cube and at the same time i was recording my audio with a mic through the application Audacity. When I try and sync the audio i recorded with my to the video captured with the cube, the audio overtime becomes out of sync. I'm not really sure why I've had this issue before and it was a easy fix of running it through handbrake and changing the fps to constant but that didn't work this time. Does the camera record at a variable fps? This is extremely frustrating

  • @brianmi40
    @brianmi40 4 года назад +1

    OK, this thing is old now (2020), but also down to $26 shipped, and appears to have better image quality than some of the cheap chinese action cams on Amazon depending on your use, besides the "useful" magnetic mount (i didn't have trouble imagining steel mount points that aren't stainless...). Note that most any decent video editor can flip the image for you any way you need to...
    You can now also get the tripod mount, a suction mount, a sticky mount, and a bike mount all about HALF the prices shown in the video, so that means, for example a $36 version of this can include a tripod mount...

  • @theomiz3
    @theomiz3 9 лет назад

    Thanks for the review! I've had the cube for over a month and I had no idea about the orientation option when you power it on or that the back piece will stick to the magnet. So thanks, man. Nice work.
    And like some other folks you've spoken with, I do love the magnet. Not so much for finding steel out in the world to stick it on, but the fact that you can find bits and bobs in your garage to make your own sort of mounts.

  • @Khum4r
    @Khum4r 10 лет назад

    I love the design. It fact that it's only got one button which is simple and straight forward to use. It's got a magnet which is REALLY smart design decision. The camera.looks cute and something I would not mind carrying around. Seems like a kind of product Apple would design. Simple, Elegant and Smart. call it the iSight Shuffle lol

    Ordered one of these from Amazon and it was the magnet which sold it, for me. Reason being, I have little self adhesive metal disks, about the size of a 10p. Going to stick one on my cars dashboard and use it as a dash cam. Saves messing about with suction cups and clipping cameras in and out of mounts.

    I never thought in my life i would see such good images and video coming from a thing smaller than your pinky!. I`m quite impressed. Although the sound was indeed a little low quality.But coming from a little square toy , i guess it`s okay for now.Who knows 2 or 4 years from now.

    Many thanks for the download link! I have 2 Mobius cameras, one I use as a dash cam with a super capacitor swapped out for the battery. The big reason I may buy the Polaroid is that it just went on sale for $69 and since its weather proof, will hold up better than the Mobius. But the Mobius has so many more features like time lapse!

    Didn't know they finally got the scaffolding off St Anne's church! Might have to pop by later and take some pics.
    And this camera is a bit tempting, it's footprint is much smaller than the gopro; so it's great for mounting onto a hotshoe or something like that. Is not too wide.

    The new revision ( Polaroid CUBE Act Two ), though allegedly sporting reduced
    Video Quality... is only $29 !!!
    As for the magnet, it's actually better than a Tripod Screw Mount Hole. Just use
    a magnet with a hole in it as a Tripod Screw Mount Adapter. They cost like 25¢.
    I have a bunch of them around & when I just bought 8 of these Cubes, for my
    Studio, I was stoked to realize this solution!
    Thanks Techmoan!!!
