Sam's-Cool Reptiles well for me never happened for something to not be shipped! Yes there are sometime delays if something isn't in stock. But i can live in that, they have good prices and gathering points get me more discount on long run. On other side what i dont like is that in some cases i waited 20 days for item to be shipped ... but its just a way it is. It happens i guess
I don't think the Gyro Sensor would crop the picture since it's Hardware based in SJ5000x, software versions do that however such as GitUp Git2 pro. Can you confirm it cropped?
Definitely thumbs up for the two video reviews I seen of yours. Additional videos covering other features would be well-received and greatly appreciated by all. Several questions: 1. To improve audio recording, does it support external microphones? Is it mono or stereo? 2. How is it in low-light conditions? Is there an aperture rating? 3. Does the software update improve "continuous" recording? How large can each file be in the recent version? 4. Does the camera continue to record in a new file once it reaches the file size limit Once the file maximum file size is reached does the camera automatically continue to record in a new file or is it necessary to restart the camera each time the limit is reached? 5. What's your evaluation of slow motion recording? One of my uses would be in sports for technique evaluation where slow motion HD with detail would be awesome. Thank you for your responses to these questions.
I should have liked to listen to a little piece with the audio on - I count that this camera just have mono, but what about the quality - with and without the waterproof box?
+Pandit Reuvers Thanks for pointing that out, it's my fault for not telling that with this door is not meant to be used underwater. But its still waterproof to some extent (but not underwater)
Hi I've just received the same camera in the post it came without sd card I've ordered the same one you mentioned 64gb how do I format it to 32gb so it will work? Thanks
Nice review. I was wondering what the battery life is like, and also, can you now use large SD cards? If so does that mean they now use a file system that supports large files?
+Jbay2608 Yes you can use large cards now, but its also the same FAT32 file system which means that when file reach 4gb~ size it will split .. In preparing update review because SJCAM pushed a lot of updates and camera is even better now
RewMe Thanks, so if I have it on constant record, it will make many 4GB files? That's a bit of an inconvenience, but not the end of the world because you can join them. I see the price is really good, $159.00 and you get two extra batteries. It says it can do 80 minutes at 2K, so that means probably much more at 720P?
+Jbay2608 A lot more on 720P and yes i it will split files on 4gb when size reach that point. Also latest fw IMPROVED camera A LOT. Stabilisation is really good now, im in process of testing now, and in a week i will post a new video. But in short camera is really good buy for the price and what it can offer.
RewMe Thanks, I'll have to choose between this and the Yi cam because GoPro is too expensive, and if I put it on my kayak and go throught he surf to go fish, then I don't want to risk losing a GoPro. Besides I can almost buy two of these for the money of one GoPro. How is the sound quality when you record with the waterproof case on?
+Jbay2608 sound quality isn't best side on this camera but now is decent and usable. I didnt test it in waterproof case but i will include it in my new video
Ne mozes da pogresis sa 5000x pogledaj moj drugi snimak pa u opisu imas video samples da skines i pogledas. Ostane ti jos za pice sad kad krene sezona i dodje novo meso sa svih strana sveta :)
Hi there, Can you tell me if your videos can last more than 28min? I´ve been having that problem... So, being a noob and being SJ5000X ELITE my first ever camera, beside my mobile phone... let's see how far we've come. From what i found on reviews/blogs etc. the SJ5000X Elite comes with a native 12,4 MP Sony Sensor IMX078CQK and has a sensitivity of 1437 digits and could shoot 4000 x 3000 pixels 4k at 42fps, but even tough it could shoot 4K with 42fps the Novatek 96660 chip is not capable of that. The Sony IMX206 sensor, used in the Xiaomi Yi and in Git2, has a sensitivity of 1096 digits and can only shoot 4k at 12fps. So at least for video application the IMX078 "in SJCAM" is better due to better low light sensitivity and higher fps in 4k video compared to IMX206. Both GIT2 and SJ5000X Elite, have the Novatek 96660 chip, and offer the same video resolition: 4K - max. 24fps - interpolated 2K - max. 30fps 1080p - max. 60fps 720p - max. 120fps We have also to consider the Memory Card, and there are various Micro SD CARDS: Class 10 - indicates that the card provides write speed of at least 10MBs. UHS-I U1 - means that the card is fast enough for Full HD video recording at 1080p - 10MBs constant writing. UHS-I U3 - means that the card is fast enough for shooting videos in 4K Ultra HD - 30MBs constant writing, with devices that support the UHS-I standard. Unfortunatly SJ5000X Elite camera needs the card to be formatted FAT32, and that´s where my main problem was, because in my every videos, they only reached 28min:13sec tops. The fact that it requires a SD CARD formatted in FAT32... which have the max of 4GB per file because thats a FAT32 limit... in practice it means that you wont be able to film more tha 27 to 29min straight... the camera continuous recording, but when you access the files storage, instead of a 90min film i ended with three 30min files. I only have a SanDisk Ultra 32GB class 10 Memory card, as they said it would be enough. Memory Capacity: 32G Class Rating: Class 10 Read Speed: 48MB/s Write Speed: 20MB/s Im trying to find out if other users of sj5000x elite have the same issue with a UHS-I U3 cards, wich are the best class to film 4k and have atleast a 40MB/S WRITE SPEED, or if it would solve my problem of cyclic videos... the new firmware updates 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 claim to solve the 64gb and 128gb bugs, and improved the sound, but there still exists the sound moffled issue, very noisy like grainy/scratching on clothes.
Wich other low cost 4k cameras can prevent that? Can you tell me if git2, elecam, firefly 6s have the same format in card storage? In git2 it can get a 64gb, is there any diference in exfat 64 quilobytes does it change how long the videos last?
+Filipe Aparício Dias it depends on many factors, but i cant give you 100% answer. Maybe on git2 it will not split but maybe it will, i didnt have chanse to test it. But i will test elecam soon, also maybe you look all this from wrong angle, it is normal to take some video editing to make better video in the end, i dont see sense to watch 2 3 hrs bike ride from one part ... there is always something to cut out. But hey im not a biker so maybe im speaking crap :)
does sjcam sk5000x elite have external microphone like the sj6? i read the box it said it had, just curious cuz sj6 and sj5x elite are close in pricing
Hi. I will pick up mine tomorow also get it from gearbest. But i dind't know about the sound problems on the first batch, i hope mine its from second batch. There is any solution if i get the one from first batch. Thank you
Oki, then it aren't as TAG filming... TAG is that it caches the preset time you like, 30sec I use, then when you hit Rec on the remote it records 30sec back in time and 60sec forward, you get 90sec clips with only the parts you really like... Pre edited on the fly =) // johan
Hi just quick question, how can you find the difference between sj5000x and sj5000x elite ?there is nothing on your box or anywhere else stating that you have Elite version,same as on mine.And I know that sj5000x and elite are both using different sensors.When enter code from the box on the website cant see model description just info yhat your product is genuine. ..Could you help a bit please :) thanks
Pozdrav, donmarkon. Imaš li kakvu ideju zašto kad upalim sj500x na ekranu piše custer size wrong, please format. Neznam što bi trebala napraviti. Hvala
hey, you did a mistake, the video says 2k on the screen but when I try to change the video setting for youtube it only goes to 1080p. Besides that great video.
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?
for fast action scenes (moto) 1080P 60fps or 2k 30fps (i prever resolution over fps more details) WDR ON Gyro ON if you put it on helmet but if fixed to bike i would turn gyro OFF. Try and find what fits you best.
+RewMe - well I was hoping for a better more elaborate respond... cause the SJ5000+ is still more expensive and it has 16mpx while SJ5000X has 12mpx in the specs. but never mind. Thank you.
+Marko Knok SJ5000x is have newer chipset and better (sony sensor) dont get fooled by price. Also you can check on SJcam which one is flagship camera :)
Please help. I DONT KNOW HOW TO fix this " custer size wrong please format and memory error" .I did tried all my best to fix it but still didnt work. huhuhu.. please help me
Hello Please help!! I have a Sjcam Sj5000x Elite version it is V1.2-S Date is Dec. 9. Please help my quality is very bad for some reason I filmed in 1080p 30 and my friends sj4000 had better quality, and when I film on 4k it like slows the video down and has terrible quality and looks almost as if its glitching. I don't know what to do. When I film the sky the trees look like they were edited to maximum sharpness but it is actually really bad and looks weird PLEASE Help.
+Ryan Lai ordered many things from them and no problems, only sometimes you can wait more for item to come in stock... But wait for other people comments to confirm you
Info: my SJ5000x Elite firmware v1.5.5 works with Kingston 128 GB SD micro Canvas React (SDXC Class 10 UHS-I U3) card. Formatted by Ridgecrop fat32format/guiformat utility to FAT32 (32k sector). According to the manufacturer, max. 64 GB is supported.
You might note that this company refuses to help anyone that has bought the camera from anyone other than them. I can't get it to install firmware 1.3. they told me to go to where i bought it from. I bought it in Bangkok. I live in Texas USA.
Most companies throughout the world support their products no matter where you buy it. Did you read the part where I bought this in Bangkok while on vacation and now am in Texas USA. So how is seller suppose to resolve this??? It's just info I'm looking for and these dicks won't give it to me. Not good. If you buy a Say Lenovo Laptop...doesn't matter from who you bought it...they will help you.
+Bill Kirchenbauer i know what you speak and i support your words. But i know discussion from on forum where many people had that "problem" . Try to offer to ship it back for replacment? See what they will say. Also can you tell me what problem you get describe me

Man that's not a pre-aplied screen protector. That's like the protector that comes on SmartPhones screens, and they use a bit of glue. You're supposed to peel that off, the glue might make the screen become yellow-ish.
My experience is different. My parents are using Doogee and Meizu i used Xiaomi for 1 and half year in row (two models) and i'm on Samsung now just because of wow effect from S8 scree
RevMeTech do you still owned this cam ? i've read some discussion forum in my country ( indonesia ) and there's pretty much people complaining about this cam. i'm about to buy this sj5kx , but i'm afraid it won't last long, because 100$ is pretty much amount of money here in indonesia. what's your opinion ? the other candidate i'm about to buy is git2 , but it was so rare in my country and it's really difficult to look for its accessories, so i choose the sjcam. :(
It is impossible to include different resolutions in one video so its downscaled. For full 4k samples check out my playlist with video samples ruclips.net/p/PLc-LYDZeLFJ5UKxAF0JbmTlUyxGpKh5CD
BRO, YOU HAVE 100% GOT A FAKE SJ5000X ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your footage is 'SO' BLURY compared to every other persons review of this camera I have seen on RUclips. Your 4k test literally looked worse than 140p quality.

Hi, quick question.
Is the Sandisk Ultra micro sd card 48mb/s 32gb (class 10) compatible with this sj5000x?
Any replies is much appreciated.
thanks.
Nice review. One quick question is their any sign or note on the box for batch 2 supply ?
+Harpal Singh this is old review mate. Check out my new ones.
About batch two, dont think about it that is long gone storie :-)
I should have liked to listen to a little piece with the audio on - I count that this camera just have mono, but what about the quality - with and without the waterproof box?
Nice review, thanks, You made one mistake at 2:35. The second case door isn't waterproof.. It has 2 big holes for the microphone sound.
+Pandit Reuvers Thanks for pointing that out, it's my fault for not telling that with this door is not meant to be used underwater. But its still waterproof to some extent (but not underwater)
Hi I've just received the same camera in the post it came without sd card I've ordered the same one you mentioned 64gb how do I format it to 32gb so it will work? Thanks
+7979dennis no need now it work with 64gb just format it from camera menu
really helpful. good thing that you mentioned that the 1st batch has audio issue. i had to check it when i decided to buy one. cheers.
The sound is fixed on all cameras in latest fw update. So no need to worry anymore :)
Nice review. I was wondering what the battery life is like, and also, can you now use large SD cards? If so does that mean they now use a file system that supports large files?
+Jbay2608 Yes you can use large cards now, but its also the same FAT32 file system which means that when file reach 4gb~ size it will split .. In preparing update review because SJCAM pushed a lot of updates and camera is even better now

Hi there,
Can you tell me if your videos can last more than 28min? I´ve been having that problem...
So, being a noob and being SJ5000X ELITE my first ever camera, beside my mobile phone... let's see how far we've come.
From what i found on reviews/blogs etc. the SJ5000X Elite comes with a native 12,4 MP Sony Sensor IMX078CQK and has a sensitivity of 1437 digits and could shoot 4000 x 3000 pixels 4k at 42fps, but even tough it could shoot 4K with 42fps the Novatek 96660 chip is not capable of that.
The Sony IMX206 sensor, used in the Xiaomi Yi and in Git2, has a sensitivity of 1096 digits and can only shoot 4k at 12fps.
So at least for video application the IMX078 "in SJCAM" is better due to better low light sensitivity and higher fps in 4k video compared to IMX206.
Both GIT2 and SJ5000X Elite, have the Novatek 96660 chip, and offer the same video resolition:
4K - max. 24fps - interpolated
2K - max. 30fps
1080p - max. 60fps
720p - max. 120fps
We have also to consider the Memory Card, and there are various Micro SD CARDS:
Class 10 - indicates that the card provides write speed of at least 10MBs.
UHS-I U1 - means that the card is fast enough for Full HD video recording at 1080p - 10MBs constant writing.
UHS-I U3 - means that the card is fast enough for shooting videos in 4K Ultra HD - 30MBs constant writing, with devices that support the UHS-I standard.
Unfortunatly SJ5000X Elite camera needs the card to be formatted FAT32, and that´s where my main problem was, because in my every videos, they only reached 28min:13sec tops.

I only have a SanDisk Ultra 32GB class 10 Memory card, as they said it would be enough.
Memory Capacity: 32G
Class Rating: Class 10
Read Speed: 48MB/s
Write Speed: 20MB/s
Im trying to find out if other users of sj5000x elite have the same issue with a UHS-I U3 cards, wich are the best class to film 4k and have atleast a 40MB/S WRITE SPEED, or if it would solve my problem of cyclic videos... the new firmware updates 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 claim to solve the 64gb and 128gb bugs, and improved the sound, but there still exists the sound moffled issue, very noisy like grainy/scratching on clothes.
Just google some video joiner and you are good to go :)
...that´s exactly what i was hoping, i wouldn´t need to do...
But there seems to be no way arround, due to the fact of the fat32, right?
+Filipe Aparício Dias as i know no :(
Wich other low cost 4k cameras can prevent that?
Can you tell me if git2, elecam, firefly 6s have the same format in card storage?
In git2 it can get a 64gb, is there any diference in exfat 64 quilobytes does it change how long the videos last?
+Filipe Aparício Dias it depends on many factors, but i cant give you 100% answer. Maybe on git2 it will not split but maybe it will, i didnt have chanse to test it. But i will test elecam soon, also maybe you look all this from wrong angle, it is normal to take some video editing to make better video in the end, i dont see sense to watch 2 3 hrs bike ride from one part ... there is always something to cut out. But hey im not a biker so maybe im speaking crap :)
Can you attach an external mic. And is the 4K really 4K? Btw love your channel.
+Bensgamin no external mic support. 4 k is interpolated you can check my updated review for video samples
Liked its low light performance
Ні, why when the GYRO 1080 * 30 fps and below the picture on the screen is shaking by itself? is it a defect? version 1.51 - s
does sjcam sk5000x elite have external microphone like the sj6? i read the box it said it had, just curious cuz sj6 and sj5x elite are close in pricing
Nope it doesn't
zemljace, does it capture audio while in the waterproof case?
Btw Nice accent, beautiful english :))
Hvala puno, snima ali lose dosta slabo se cuje
...
Hi. I will pick up mine tomorow also get it from gearbest. But i dind't know about the sound problems on the first batch, i hope mine its from second batch. There is any solution if i get the one from first batch. Thank you
Now is second batch, they stated that problem is resolved now ... :-). So you dont need to worry
Thank you for your quick anser. Good to know that is second batch.
Which better to buy sj5000x elite or sj7000 ?
First thing first sj7000 is not Sjcam! Its unknown company which use sjcam brandig. I will always pick sjcam 5000x over unknown brand
Hi,
Can you please demo / Tell me about the loop funktion...
Is it like the Drift Ghost cameras TAG filming?
Lets say you set 5min loop, it will record files 5 minutes long, and when space is full it will delete oldest file and so on ...
Oki, then it aren't as TAG filming...
TAG is that it caches the preset time you like, 30sec I use, then when you hit Rec on the remote it records 30sec back in time and 60sec forward, you get 90sec clips with only the parts you really like...

How long did it take the camera to arrive to your address? I order one & it"s been a little over two weeks and nothing ..
Just be patient, it will come :), for me it is usually a month more or less ...
Is this good for cycling bike ride?
Why not, but i will recommend you to look at newer models. SJCAM M20 and SJ6 Legend both can be found on my channel
Hi just quick question, how can you find the difference between sj5000x and sj5000x elite ?there is nothing on your box or anywhere else stating that you have Elite version,same as on mine.And I know that sj5000x and elite are both using different sensors.When enter code from the box on the website cant see model description just info yhat your product is genuine. ..Could you help a bit please :) thanks

Quite a bit choppy in 4K when you''re panning and it gets blurred. I don't think Gyro works in 4K???? Thanks for sharing: )
watch my earlier review this is quite old camera received many upgrades overtime
How is the battery life? SJ5000 wifi claimed 70mins but only lasted 30 mins. (Screen and wifi off)
Sorry for late replay. 30 mins on 4k? That is not possible i got around 1 hr a bit less
thanks for reply,so our cameras have imx078 Sony sensors ?
imx078 yes
Great thanks a lot :)
which better to buy sj4000 plus or sj5000x? ........

A good, honest review, concise and to the point. Thumbs up from me, well done.
do you notice any major issues with the white balance?
+Lop0pz With 1.2.2 fw update its good :)
can you use an external mic on this camera
hey, you did a mistake, the video says 2k on the screen but when I try to change the video setting for youtube it only goes to 1080p. Besides that great video.
Its not mistake, it is 4k but rendered in smaller resolution. You can watch my other video samples which are rendered in 4k

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?
good Review. how can i control
zoom ?
is this camera compatible with the GoPro mounts and accessories?
I think not
+Rura_Penthe - it is with all mounts but in her own housing..
+RewMe SJ4000 is compatible though
Does the WIFi transmit on 2.4 GHz or on 5.8 GHz ?
+David Burns i think that is 2.4ghz
how to battery life sj5000x
how many hours
yeah I noticed the dead pixels in v 1.2.3. this is fixed in 1.3
+revme tech Can you tell me the best video settings in this cam for car or motovlogging?
for fast action scenes (moto) 1080P 60fps or 2k 30fps (i prever resolution over fps more details) WDR ON Gyro ON if you put it on helmet but if fixed to bike i would turn gyro OFF. Try and find what fits you best.
Thanks alot you subscribed .
Thanks mate :)
Which wud u choose ? This or xiaomi yi?
+Red Rouge Personally i would pick this one. If you are not in hurry wait for few more days im in process of making new updated review of SJCAM 5000x
+RewMe thanks for replying. Another question though, does sjcam have lens rectification?
First batch? I'm guessing you mean get Version 2.0 not Version 1.0? Good to know, thank you! Nice review!
Just ignore that information it is not important today
Are the mounts for this cam good
+Everything Outdoors yes they are
Can someone tell me the main difference on SJ5000X and SJ5000+ or lets say witch one works better?
+Marko Knok SJ5000x is newer and better sj5000+ is old model
+RewMe - well I was hoping for a better more elaborate respond... cause the SJ5000+ is still more expensive and it has 16mpx while SJ5000X has 12mpx in the specs. but never mind. Thank you.
+Marko Knok SJ5000x is have newer chipset and better (sony sensor) dont get fooled by price. Also you can check on SJcam which one is flagship camera :)
does it have a playback mode after a recording to see how it recorded?
Yes it can
How do you know if they shipped you second batch?
I asked support... But in latest fw they fixed sound problem ! So its good news :-)
How do i know the set is 1st batch or 2nd batch from the box?
+Jerry Lerry Watch updated video, there is no more first batch all is good now :)

Hello Please help!! I have a Sjcam Sj5000x Elite version it is V1.2-S Date is Dec. 9. Please help my quality is very bad for some reason I filmed in 1080p 30 and my friends sj4000 had better quality, and when I film on 4k it like slows the video down and has terrible quality and looks almost as if its glitching. I don't know what to do. When I film the sky the trees look like they were edited to maximum sharpness but it is actually really bad and looks weird PLEASE Help.
Tomorow i will upload new video with latest fw. Compare it with yours video
Is Gearbest trustworthy? I feel like the website is a little sketchy...
+Ryan Lai ordered many things from them and no problems, only sometimes you can wait more for item to come in stock... But wait for other people comments to confirm you
Info: my SJ5000x Elite firmware v1.5.5 works with Kingston 128 GB SD micro Canvas React (SDXC Class 10 UHS-I U3) card. Formatted by Ridgecrop fat32format/guiformat utility to FAT32 (32k sector). According to the manufacturer, max. 64 GB is supported.
does this have in-built memory??
+Deekshith Mr it doesn't
what about spherical panorama??
which one is better SJ5000x or SJ5000+
Sj5000x
Okay Thanks
Andreas Susilo Np :)
Hai sorry how about SJ5000x and Bpro5 Alpha or Bpro5 Alpha Plus ? Which one is Better
I didn't test bpro5 so its hard for me to compare
how to know if 1st batch or 2nd batch ?
There is no 1st batch anymore
Thank you
No support for 64 gb micro...that's a bummer as 4k video sizes can be huge.
+Vaibhav Gaikwad It supports now, there has been a lot of updates and majority of "flaws" fixed :)
thx for sharing
Asj q kng after q ma download yun app bkit ndi ko makita kng saan nka save yun pic at video pa help nmn kung paano makkita mga file ng sj5000 sakin
how many fps on 4k recording
+jhonard tagalog 24
+RewMe ahh ok tnx for the info
You might note that this company refuses to help anyone that has bought the camera from anyone other than them. I can't get it to install firmware 1.3. they told me to go to where i bought it from. I bought it in Bangkok. I live in Texas USA.
+Bill Kirchenbauer i know that ... And from my point it is normal. Seller should resolve problems. At least thats how is in my country
Most companies throughout the world support their products no matter where you buy it. Did you read the part where I bought this in Bangkok while on vacation and now am in Texas USA. So how is seller suppose to resolve this??? It's just info I'm looking for and these dicks won't give it to me. Not good.
If you buy a Say Lenovo Laptop...doesn't matter from who you bought it...they will help you.
+Bill Kirchenbauer i know what you speak and i support your words. But i know discussion from on forum where many people had that "problem" . Try to offer to ship it back for replacment? See what they will say. Also can you tell me what problem you get describe me
That's nice, in detailed review.
is 4k interpolated?
Yes it is

Very good review!
Thanks m8 i going straight to the point. With not too much unwanted things
RewMe Can you test also the slow motion modes?
For example the SJ5000 + has an issue at 480p 240fps.
Is it fixed in the new camera?
New video samples are in prepare :) weather here is bad so i need time ... Tomorrow i'm uploading 1080p 60fps sample :)
Man that's not a pre-aplied screen protector. That's like the protector that comes on SmartPhones screens, and they use a bit of glue. You're supposed to peel that off, the glue might make the screen become yellow-ish.
hay man thanks for the video.
+Derek Spencer thank you on support :-)
sve pohvale.. :)
+Mihael Gubina hvala :)
how much is this ?
+Greta Ackerman check out links i posted
E posto sam saznao da si Srbin, nisam razumeo za neku 1. I 2.verziju sto ima problema sa zvukom,pa ako mozes da mi objasnis nesto o tome,unapred hvala
+filip stanisic nema to vise, kupis i uzivas.
Good
i have bad times with chinese stuff, they didn't last over 2 months !
how about this cam ? i hope it can last at least 1,5 years
My experience is different. My parents are using Doogee and Meizu i used Xiaomi for 1 and half year in row (two models) and i'm on Samsung now just because of wow effect from S8 scree
RevMeTech do you still owned this cam ? i've read some discussion forum in my country ( indonesia ) and there's pretty much people complaining about this cam. i'm about to buy this sj5kx , but i'm afraid it won't last long, because 100$ is pretty much amount of money here in indonesia.
what's your opinion ? the other candidate i'm about to buy is git2 , but it was so rare in my country and it's really difficult to look for its accessories, so i choose the sjcam. :(
I would recommend you to go with something newer as SJCAM M20 goo.gl/I7csnV
RevMeTech thank you sir, i also considering the M20 so much.
Maybe i need time to decide which one i gonna buy. :)
nice..
one doubts this camera supports micro sd 64g
+Mechanic Repair it doesn't ... you need to format it to less space ( i did that in mine case)
As if zooming??
Sto ne prawis recenziju na Srpskom kad si vec iz Kraljevaa? :D
the 4k walking is really bad in 2019
recorded in 4k but not uploaded in 4k why
It is impossible to include different resolutions in one video so its downscaled. For full 4k samples check out my playlist with video samples ruclips.net/p/PLc-LYDZeLFJ5UKxAF0JbmTlUyxGpKh5CD
+RewMe just like your video you can also upscale videos to make them all fit into 4k ...yes your 4k video looks well :)
Thanks :-)

BRO, YOU HAVE 100% GOT A FAKE SJ5000X ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your footage is 'SO' BLURY compared to every other persons review of this camera I have seen on RUclips. Your 4k test literally looked worse than 140p quality.
+SKINNY BUDDHA BOY it is not fake it is old review in that time footage looked like this that's why I have two updated reviews :)
