Are you hankering after an action cam, but cannot justify the cost?
Well I might just have the answer for you.
We were sent the MUSON Action Camera to review over the summer holidays and unlike some of their more expensive competitors it comes with a handy carrycase and some fabulous accessories and mounts and costs less than £50!!
First of all you need a microSD card. We bought a class 10 32GB one to take on holiday which was perfect to deal with the speed the camera needs.
The case is made of a strong, water resistant material which covers the outside and the inside is full of sponge cushions to keep the camera safe from the shock of carriage.
Inside the case you will find the WIFI Camera, 2.4G Wireless RF Remote waist, Carrying Bag, Waterproof Housing, Handle Bar/Pole Mount, 7x Mounts, Clip1, Clip2, a Helmet Mount, Bandages, 2x 1050mah Batteries, 1x Tethers, 1x USB Cable, 1x Charger, 1x Lens Cloth and a User Manual.
The camera itself came with a full battery so could be used straight away.
The camera is compatible with the Ez iCam app which is available on iTunes and Google Play and connects to the camera through the Wifi settings.
We used the camera to take footage of our day out at Typhoon Lagoon at Walt Disney World and to take film of some of the shows we watched during our holiday.
It comes with a 2.0″ Inch Full Colour LCD Display at the back of the camera, which allows you to see real time images on the camera, although the menu can be tricky to see in bright sunlight, so it is best to set it up in a shaded area before you need it.
I have to say it works better in brightly lit situations, so was perfect for the waterpark as it was brilliantly sunny all day. The camera in its casing is waterproof to 30m and has a 170 wide angle lens to make sure you catch all the action. It did well with the fireworks and light shows too.
My only disappointment was the battery life and it lasted around 90 minutes on a full charge, however, the camera does come with a second battery for backup and can be charged with a portable usb powerbank, so unless you are doing an activity where you can’t change the batteries over this really isn’t an issue.
For under £50 I really cannot fault this Action Camera and Muson have offered me a fabulous discount code to get another £11 off. Simply head to amazon and enter code: QJAS3UEC
This looks like a great alternative to the GoPro and at least it has a viewscreen on the back which makes recording easier.
Wow what an incredible price and the quality looks really good! Shame about the battery life, but I guess it can’t have it all for less than £50 🙂
Oh this looks great! As does the quality 🙂
What an incredible little camera, I am loving it especially since it’s affordable and easy to use.
That looks fab, and so cheap compared to other makes! The battery life is a bit of a let down but with a second battery it really isn’t an issue, looks great!
Thats a great price and it looks really good quality too.
It is great that it is so cheap and can help you record videos when abroad. I need an action camera x
Great value and good footage from it. We have a GoPro, but don’t get on very well with it at all. Think that may be more us than it though!!
We’d happily stock up on extra batteries for it. It looks like a great action camera 🙂
Great alternative to a GroPro might look into one of these
Oh this sounds fab I have been looking at these type of cameras for when we go on holiday but found them so pricey. We will only be using it for in the pool so I think something like this would be ideal, bargain price x
Just when I was about to give up on my search for a nifty little camera, I came across this blog post! Thank you so much, this will go straight to my personal recommendations. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to check out my blog where I teach people how to become Youtube vloggers.
Maybe this post of yours can be an inspiration for me to produce more children-oriented guides.
Thank you so much!
I cant get my camera to record more than 2 videos at once please help im a bit of a techno phobe. Thank you
This 4K gopro is awesome. This thing shoots 4k videos and takes 20MP photos which are really awesome. I absolutely love it . Comes with a really cool box made of transparent cover , which reflects the camera so cool. Spending $90 was so much better than spending $300 worth of camera. This one has all the gadgets needed for adventure.
This will help some.
I think GoPro is better than all of these cameras!
I love to read that this can record videos when abroad. Can’t wait to try this soon. I hope it would an amazing experience for me while filming. Thank you so much and keep writing!
