Good video quality

by D. Hill from on 2010-07-20
I was impressed with the video quality of this little device. Just as good as my Nikon Coolpix if not better. I hooked it up to my Mac and my PC at work. Shows up like a flash drive where you can drag the videos and photos to a folder. Use it as a flash drive if you want. If this thing lasts for 6 months, I'll get another one. Keep it handy for those times when you don't have your good camera, but need to take a video or photo (car accidents, UFOs, bigfoot, etc). Go to YouTube and type in "Gum Cam" to see the video quality of vids uploaded by owners.

this product was damaged
on arrival and they would
not exchange it.

Bad choice

by RoninUT from Utah on 2010-03-28
Camera arrived today with conflicting information all over the box and the poorly translated manual. No software included in the manual, and several hours of searching online did not yield any downloadable drivers. I am stuck with the incorrect time/date stamp.

If the camera icluded the software and came with a better manual, it would be a much better product. Unfortunately, there is no way to use it as a webcam without the software, and there is no way to put the correct time/date stamp on the images/video.

I am disappointed.

Plain dosen't work...

by R. Farrar from on 2010-03-16
Well... I really suspected as much considering I was buying cheap electronics from Amazon, but I was still rather disappointed when I received the camera and it wouldn't record for longer than 1 second intervals, and the quality rendered the resulting image or video completely unintelligible. I haven't contacted Amazon or the seller with regards to this issue, and really don't see any reason to argue with the seller over $30 or so minus return shipping. I've cut my losses, and to prospective buyers -- just ignore this here item and go to a legitimate seller and find a piece of equipment that you know will work. Purchasing this camera is a mere waste of money.

Service was fine,however the product was Not!

We couldn't get this item to work properly after an Hour of trying. It also came without the Disc which didn't help. The Instructions were vague & the sentence structure/grammer made it worse. The Co. DID supply a Full Refund.

Don't get one if it can be overcharged

by Melissa B from Lakewood, Colorado, USA! on 2010-08-15
If I could have picked ZERO stars for this, I would have. I bought one and they didn't tell me before buying it, that it can be overcharged by the USB port, but when I got it, the instructions warned not to over charge it. Now how can I remember that? Sure enough, I forgot about it on the usb port and it overcharged. That's just a poor design! I was an electronics R&D technician for 27 years and NO ONE should design a product that can over charge and burn out, that's just ridiculous! I wouldn't suggest risking a penny on one of these, unless the advertising says that the overcharging bad design has been redesigned and the product cannot be overcharged! DO NOT BUY unless you see that!

Waste of Money

by Matt in TEXAS from on 2010-07-07
This item does not work. The instructions are written in English by a non-English speaker and are very hard to follow. This product does not work and I had to send it back. Do not waste your time.

cheap but fun to use

by csc4vandy from atlanta, ga on 2010-06-27
OK, I will agree that the instruction are laughable and that the video quality is not great, but what do you expect for the price you paid. I bought mine from another online store and have enjoyed it very much. I didn't expect to use it for anything more than fun uses. Mine has worked fine for months and I have even burned the video to dvds. I use mine to make videos of rocket launches by putting it into the payload section of my Estes Model rocket. I see the world from a different view now high above the ground thanks to my micro dvr.

Since I reviewed this item I took it to a camp for foster children that I work at. I wanted to use it to take video of the children and the camp ground from the air when I launched my rocket.....well the video stopped working and could not use it. When it worked I liked it but the quality is just not there. I had recorded maybe a total of 4 hours video before it broke. Well it was cheap and I got what I paid for.

Excellent stuff

by Tae Seung Kuk from on 2010-02-08
It is a real excellent stuff.

Small size, good quality video and audio recording and still shot.

Easy to use .

And then it's cheap.

I install a camera at my RC airplane. It is a pretty funny work.

False advertising

by R. Schroeder from on 2010-01-04
Product is plainly advertised as a 4 gb product. Wrong. Comes with a 2 gb card, maybe. Recording time is good for an hour, battery life 10 hrs., maximum.
