Review: W8 Ultra HD 2″ Wi-Fi Sports Action Camera (White)

April 7, 2017

I bought the W8 Ultra HD 2″ Wi-Fi Sports Action Camera (White) back in December 2016. It was delivered next day after I ordered it early in the morning – good job Lazada! I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a GoPro action cam so I opted for an alternative product that would not burn a hole in my pocket. This item had good reviews already before I purchased it so I was excited to get it asap and test it myself.

Video quality is good although I prefer using the 1080p 30fps more than 4k 10fps. The audio on videos will be slightly muffled if you’re going to use the waterproof housing (audio is better if it’s without). I prefer using the action camera more for videos than for photo purposes because the photo is usually blurred when taking shots of moving objects or if you have shaky hands.

Here’s a sample photo:

The photo is decent enough already as you can tell but hey, t’s a cheap alternative for the pricey action cameras! Note that you must buy the monopod and microSD card separately as these are not included in the package. You won’t be able to take videos/photos if you don’t insert a microSD into the sports action camera so if you are planning to purchase it, I recommend buying an 8-32GB microSD card also if you don’t have any yet.
