Dragon Touch 4k Action Camera Review (cheapest GoPro alternative?)
There is a whole market of GoPro knock-offs. This is because GoPros are absurdly overpriced. In the market of GoPro knock-offs, you don’t have to put much effort into picking one — they are all the same (just with a different design). They literally come with the same accessories.
Accessories include a car mount, an extra battery, a dual battery charger, 2 helmet mounts, bike handlebar mount, helmet side mount, and more. it also includes a remote control, allowing you to take pictures and record videos from far away.
More technical specifications reveal that the batteries have a combined recording time of 180 minutes. The batteries are 1050mAh and are rechargeable through an included charger (with micro USB). Waterproof up to 100ft or 30 meters.
Overall I am impressed with the look of the camera. Though it feels cheaply made — mainly plastic. Pictures are ok at 16MP:
I am very disappointed at 4k though. Only recording at 30FPS the recording looks awful. I would never use the 4k option. Though 1080p/60FPS looks much better on my bike ride. I used the included helmet mount. It was very shaky but the quality was ok.
A GoPro alternative?
GoPro’s are very expensive. Anyone would consider a much cheaper option such as this Action Camera. If you are looking for premium quality I would go for a GoPro — almost flawless it is the safest option.
However, if you don’t mind cheap build and only 1080p recordings I would go with a knock-off. They are incredibly cheap ($20+) and although they don’t provide the best, they give the user what they need.
If you have the extra money I would go with a GoPro — larger community, customer support, etc. If you are on a tight budget I would go with an Action Camera.
Coming in at only £30 — Vision 3 is my camera of choice:
Seriously though, buy a GoPro for the best quality, however they come at an expensive price tag of £380.
