EP7

If your looking for a wearable camera with high quality video, this is the one for you. I purchased it and used it quite a bit for 2+ years. It actually recently broke and stopped working, but after contacting customer support they very kindly helped to replace the faulty unit. This is a company that not only produces great products but also follows through with support. Hence why I can confidently leave a 5-star review!

I paid extra for the better quality camera. I also didn't want a wide angle lens, but a closer up lens, which this one has. The actual filming works fine, but when I want to stop and start the video or pause, the button doesn't work right. When I first got it, it worked intermittnetly, but now not at all. i should have returned it right away but was busy. Now too late to return through Amazon. In the beginning, I could pause it with the wrist controller but often not the camera pause button. Now I have to turn off the camera to stop the video recording. After several months, the wrist controller doesn't seem to work at all. In the beginning, I could control the camera from the app, like start and pause, but that also doesn't work now. Only way to stop video is to power down the camera. I tried to contact the company directly for a refund or new product, but the email address for customer support on their website doesn't work. Email returned undeliverable. Altogether, these are the reasons for one star rating. Essentially, I paid several hundred dollars for cheap Chinese junk. APP: App is unhandy in that as soon as the wifi connection is broken between mobile device and camera, then you have to turn the wifi on on the camera, connect on your mobile device, then connect through the app. I do mechanic videos, so if I leave my work area to go get something, which happens, I have to go through a rigamarole to get connected again, if I want to see what I am doing. I use an ipad, so don't want to carry it around everywhere. HEADSET HOLDER: The camera itself records well, but the camera has some weight to it and the plastic thing that wraps around your head is very light so the camera wobbles with movement. I would think this would be easy to break.

I wanted a POV camera for when I drive because it offers better coverage than dash cams. The Ordro allows me to monitor my driving as well as be an infallible witness for anything that I see happen wherever I'm looking. I mount it on a baseball cap so that the lens will be at eye level for true point-of view. (I did however, have to add an elastic strap to keep it in place.) Mounted that way, the camera can easily see all the mirrors and speedometer. BONUS: If I wear it in public, I thought it would make people uncomfortable with being filmed. But guess what ? NOBODY NOTICES ! People wear so many devices that the Ordro looks normal to them. I was wearing it recently at a haircut salon and got video of my favorite cutter. She never noticed and I took a screenshot of the best frame and edited it into a high-res portrait for her. I charge it after every use and have never run out yet. A 250gb memory card lasts for hours of video at 4k 60fps. The included app can change camera settings but you still have to use a PC or laptop to watch the video. It even comes with a clicker for wireless control. I LOVE this product because it WORKS ! 16-MONTH USER UPDATE : I thought I had a problem with the camera because it wouldn't charge. So I contacted Ordro, got a quick response with an offer to replace it. But then I remembered the instructions said to use ONLY the included USB cord. When I plugged it in, WA LA ! It worked ! It proved to me IN SPADES that the Ordro folks stand behind their products. I'm theirs forever.

The camera works great. The video and audio quality are outstanding. The image stabilization doesn't work as well as I had hoped (it is not like a drone camera) and I will need to practice moving my head slowly to prevent "bird-head" action. Also, it took a while to adjust the camera for a first-person POV that wasn't too high or too low. The camera comes in a nice case with lots of accessories.

There are some things about this camera which are excellent and some things which are less than they need to be. Pros: the main function of this unit is to take video and pictures and it is excellent at this. Works pretty well in low light (although not perfectly) and the stabilizing function is more than adequate. Picture clarity, especially at the higher resolutions is excellent. Cons: I could never get the Wi-Fi feature to work reliably while recording. I use this camera among other things for hikes. But regardless if I am in a static setting like my home where there is good reception and plenty of Wi-Fi or out on the trail were the only Wi-Fi is the phone, the camera would suddenly disconnect from the Wi-Fi randomly every few minutes and when it does so it stops recording but you don't know it. I was using a Samsung Galaxy S8+. Maybe the software works better with Apple? The phone has no problem with Wi-Fi in any other application. The wristband controller has no feature for seeing the current status, in other words you can't tell if the camera is running or not. So the wrist controller is basically worthless in my opinion, leaving you with the only way to control the camera while recording being the Wi-Fi which is also spotty at best (at least while recording). In general the software OD Cam leaves a lot to be desired. Instructions and description make it sound like you can view footage directly from the software but this is not really true because you have to download the clips to your phone before you can see anything other than a thumbnail. If your files are big the Wi-Fi connection is so slow it can take hours to transfer. The only meaningful way to transfer anything but tiny short clips is via USB to your computer. And of course there's no way to view or review footage directly from the camera. The headband will work for some and not as well for others. The one-size-fits-all pliable plastic headband is subpar in my opinion. For some people it will be too big and for others too small. There is no good way to transport or protect this camera without disassembling it which is a pain. The carrying case that came with mine only works if the cameras disassembled into its parts. As for sound, if you are hard of hearing you can forget it. The voice prompts are very weak and can only be heard if you're wearing the camera with the speaker directly on your ear. If you're like me and often use headphones or earbuds when you are hiking or walking this makes it impossible to hear any of the prompts from the cam. And there is no volume control. Finally, the biggest problem I'm having is that for some reason the camera is continually breaking up clips into random multiple files of varying lengths. The length of each file is supposed to be determined by the video resolution, and while this appeared to work the first few times I used the camera, less than a couple of weeks in and the camera has resorted to splitting files randomly, sometimes every couple of minutes, sometimes only a few seconds, and sometimes many minutes. This is maddening and a real belly flop. I've tried resetting the camera and changing resolutions but no matter what this problem persists. And in order to view you must join all the files together and be careful to see that they are done in the proper order. Why you simply can't record a clip without having to go to this much trouble is beyond me. Conclusion: This is a great camera picture wise, but the software and other peculiarities kind of make it a wash. Seriously considering a return. ----- Update A hard reset fixed the file split problem but after barely two months the battery won't charge worth a damn and lasts only a few minutes before recording stops and voice says recharge immediately. Turns out the battery is not user serviceable so this camera is a complete rip-off. 200 bills for a month and a half of service. Can't believe I didn't catch that at purchase. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM.

This is a nice little camera. It fits my head and is very comfortable while wearing and shooting video. The 4K video was my main attraction to this camera and it hasn't let me down. It loads into Video Studio or Adobe Premiere with ease. It works tons better than any of my GoPros and the quality seems better. Very easy to use. The only bad things I've found were battery life and the time it takes to download to my iPhone.

My son and I have been using this to create instructional videos for DIY projects. Picture quality is great and control embedded on to the wrist band has been extremely useful. Controlling using the app is not perferred especially when using the headband. I was concerned about some reviews stating the product gets hot on use but we did not come across this even when using continuously. Lucky me. Came with a micro SD card, that was handy. The battery lasts long but if continuously connected to wifi it does not last as long. Increased battery life could be beneficial. Additionally USB C charging port would be beneficial over micro usb charging port. Considering the picture quality, headband and the control on the wristband, this is perfect to instructional videos keeping your hands free.

Works nice, but the battery life isn't the greatest

Es poco amigable, no tiene buena conectividad con dispositivos para ver y descargar los videos, no tiene buena calidad de video, no tiene buen alcance, No tiren su dinero a la basura no vale la pena el producto.
