8Ten 5MP SDV 5271 Action Camera

It seems that for the past year or so, the Action Camera segment has bloomed after GoPro started the trend. Other brands have made their own action cams and joined the fray. Now, to make it even more interesting, chinese-esque brands have joined the fray too with their own offerings. This only means more choices for consumers at different price points. You're not stuck with having to fork over an arm and a leg for a GoPro Hero if you feel that you won't need the entire suite of features. Other, more basic options are available.

One of the said options is 8Ten's SDV 5271 Action Camera. I just noticed this in Lazada's page, mainly because it was cheap. Looking at the reviews though is something else. This camera is being raved at by a lot of users garnering an average 4.16 out of 201 reviews. That, to me is a good indicator of value-for-money.

I then checked out YouTube for sample videos and I'm surprised that an unpopular brand has a lot of test videos for the camera [underwater, dashcam, helmet cam, etc]. I just had to ensure that I was watching the video at the highest video setting [click the gear icon at the lower right portion of the video to ensure you're watching the highest quality].

What I can say is that GoPro isn't sweating their pants over this, but this should work as a basic dashcam for cars, and other automobiles. Just make sure your expectations are clearly set, this camera should be a good buy if you need an action camera [underwater, biking, motorcycle riding, etc], and have a limited budget to pool from.

Link below if you want to check it out in Lazada. Available for cash-on-delivery so you don't have to worry about using credit cards or being scammed online. That to me, is a big plus in itself.
