Finally, an SJCAM has gone back to the spirit of the SJCAM SJ4000 and made a cute but simple camera on the cheap. For roughly HUF 20, you get a very livable little thing with 000K resolution, which you can use as a car or web camera, but it can easily handle a competition drone as well. Finally, it's not an overpriced horror like the SJCAM SJ2 Pro was, but it still has its gripes, let's see what they are.

Here is the new Xiaomi Fimi gimbal camera, the Palm 2, which comes with a renewed look, a much better display and handling, a huge joystick, and an operating time of almost 5 hours, which makes it a contender for the category leader. You can get it for HUF 65, from a Spanish warehouse, but the delivery is quite expensive, an additional HUF 000. With delivery from China with the coupon code BGFPV3700, it is only HUF 25, which is an alternative to consider.

Along with GoPro, Insta 360 and DJI, SJCAM is the manufacturer that can show something in the action camera market. However, this does not go smoothly for him, after the SJCAM SJ8 series came the rather weak SJ9, which the SJCAM SJ10 Pro is now trying to forget. Here we already have flash data, 4K 60 FPS, SuperSmooth image stabilization, water resistance without a case, 100 minutes of operating time. In addition, with the onset of winter, the price has also dropped, they ask for HUF 70, and VAT- and duty-free delivery is barely HUF 000.

Riding on the success of the DJI Osmo Pocket, more and more people are launching similar products. Recently, Xiaomi tried Fimi Palm, but it didn't quite make the leap, to put it mildly. And Feiyutech signed in with Pocket, which in principle surpasses Palm in all its technical parameters. It usually doesn't depend on the image quality or resolution - 4K 60 FPS - but on the software and handling, let's see if the engineers managed to pull it off. The price with a coupon is shockingly low, it costs HUF 66 with the coupon code BGYRTUE, which is half of the DJI Osmo Pocket if you also buy the WiFi accessory.

The action cameras of the manufacturer SJCAM are very popular products among those who do not want or cannot pay the horrible price of the current GoPro Hero. In addition, the SJ9 Strike received a significant hardware and software update. Advanced image stabilization, 4K 60 FPS resolution, wireless charging and full water resistance even without a case. And its price remains well below that of GoPro, they ask HUF 75 for it. It is worth ordering with the usual EU Priority Line delivery, which is free of VAT and customs duties.

The first series of Firefly did not steal its way into my heart, which was due to the amazingly weak hardware and poor sound. It felt very overpriced next to the Quelima series, and the Firefly felt this too, so the second model underwent significant improvements. 2,5K 30 FPS or 1080p 60 FPS resolution, analog FPV output, which makes it suitable for drones as well, it also has a silicone protective cover and can display a lot of OSD data. They ask HUF 18 for it, which is quite a bit, but the competing Runcam, Foxeer, and GoPro Session models are not cheaper either.

Without any exaggeration, one of the most brilliant cameras ever made is the Insta 360 One X. In short, what's so great about this device: it stretches the 360K video recorded by 2 180-degree lenses onto a 5.7-degree sphere, which you can manipulate pretty much however you want. . Its stabilization software is at GoPro Hero 7 level, it can remove the monopod you are holding in your hand, so it has all the functions that the competition does not. That's why it's not cheap fun, they charge HUF 122-125 for it, but you'll really blow your mind if you see it in action.

Here is the new ThiEYE T5 Pro, which competes with the current GoPro series and the SJCAM SJ8 Pro. 60 FPS 4K resolution, electronic image stabilization, RAW output, wind noise reduction, touch screen, Live Stream, and 15 other interesting functions. Fortunately, the price remained very moderate, almost suspiciously cheap for HUF 34, which is flown to us by the EU Priority Line service VAT and duty free.

The Xiaomi Mijia Seabird is considered especially cheap among action cameras, and it is also capable of 4K, has WiFi, which gives us a live image, and even EIS was included. All of this is sold on Geekbuying for HUF 25, and it is sent from an EU warehouse, so there is no problem with VAT or long delivery times. You can get an extra battery, a waterproof case with a GoPro attachment, a selfie stick, so you won't be left without accessories, which is very important for these devices. What could be the pitfall? What makes it so cheap?

The SJCAM SJ8 Plus continues a good tradition that the manufacturer started more than three years ago with the SJCAM SJ4000. It was the first action camera that was comparable to the GoPro series, but offered a much more affordable alternative, as our current test subject knows that. 4K 30 FPS resolution, stabilized video, distortion correction, touch screen and countless other services make their product desirable. Its price is HUF 57.000, which is also well below the most famous competitor.
