BOBLOV 5K W5 Body Camera, 64GB Mini Action Camera with External Microphone, 270° Rotate Lens, Camcorde for Video Recording, Clip/Strap Options, EIS Stabilization for Meeting, Vlogging, and Daily Use

This review is for the Boblov W5 pocket camera. This camera is sturdily built compact pocket sized camera capable of filming in 5K resolution, 4K at 60fps, 4K at 30fps, 2.7K at 30fps, 1080P at 60 or 30fps and 720K at 120, 60 or 30fps. It also takes photos at 16, 13 & 8 Megapixel and saves in JPG format. It has electronic stabilisation at 4K 30 frames per minute downwards but no EIS at higher resolutions. 5K is very good if you use a tripod or if you are filming a scene standing still. The camera has 2 microphones. One built into the camera and one which you plug into the side of the camera for better audio when blogging etc. The camera head is manually rotatable so you can have the image sensor facing outward to film general scenes or can be turned to face the person holding the camera so you can see yourself in the screen. In this it makes an excellent vlogging camera. Do not expect the quality of the best Go Pro or DJI Osmo and the stabilisation is obviously not up to that standard but then again, its nowhere near the price you would pay for that type of camera is it! For the price you pay, its an excellent camera for vlogging or general video of family outings etc. The battery lasts just under 2 hours of continuous recording before a recharge which takes about 2 or 3 hours from flat or less if there is some charge left in the camera. It comes with a fixing strap, a clip to clip to your clothing etc and it has a standard screw fitting for a tripod. I have seen a few reviews that complain that the external plug in microphone does not work and a few saying there is no image stabilisation but you can ignore those as those reviewers have clearly not bothered to read the owners manual. If they had done so, they would have seen that there is a menu item which you set to switch between the internal & external mi and another menu item to switch on the image stabilising! (Subject to my earlier comments on image resolution). The content is easily transferred to a computer or phone using the supplied lead and you can also take out the memory card and put it in the supplied card reader. For the price, this camera is extremely good value at less than 60 pounds. It is not waterproof and has no night vision infra red but it works well as a security camera in the daytime or anywhere with normal indoor lighting plus the image is far more stable than most body warn cameras. Want to start making Youtube videos on a budget, this is the camera to get. Very versatile. I visited someone today who lives in sheltered accommodation and made video on the way filmed at 4K 30fps with stabilisation on and show you a small clip of this longer walk. My hands do shake quite a bit and the EIS seemed to smooth this out and my walking pretty good I think. Finally, I did not do this review as part of a promotion like some reviews are done, I bought this handy pocket camera with my own money.

Good picture and sound quality. Easy to use as safety camera for horse rider.

Only had it a short time. Superb pictures/video. Recording takes little space on memory card. On/off switch not positive click need to keep checking it's 'on' and not accidentally switched off. good value for money. I use it on cycle rides after cars pulling out in front . Used it some months now. Very impressed with this. Good image, battery lasts over two hours on our regular cycle rides which is what we bought it for. 32Gb SD CARD has plenty of capacity. Recommended body camera.

It's not ideal, don't get me wrong, but I'm sure image quality is one of the best out there for 2021 time of writing.. read complete review for all cons, like I said it's not ideal, but I would definitly buy the same again or even another one if needed to be. For price/quality I can't see anything better at the moment. I paid 45 for it. IMAGE QUALITY: it's crisp, nice and true colors even at dark. It's really 1080 or at least it's great, not one of those fake advertisements when you get some old TV quality recordings while they say its HD. I bought couple of 1080 CCTV cameras, the quality 10 times worse crap comparing to this body cam, or I bought similar price range action camera, also claiming 1080 or even 4k, also crap comparing to this body camera. We took old (very old to be honest) PANASONIC TM900 1080 (nearly 1k price at release time) and comparing to this body camera it was not a winner.. for both image quality and colors.. and colors at dark. So will you be able to see faces clearly on this one? yes you will.. Will you see number plates? yes you will. NIGHT VISION: no night vision that im aware of, but it can see very well in semi dark.. so street light may be sufficient for it to show good quality faces etc IMAGE ANGLE: it's not the widest, but it's wide enough to capture what is in front of you, it's not narrow either, so it fits a huge bit, don't know if it's the widest on marker though. But it's a bit fish eye.. So anything directly in front of you will be very well and clearly represented, but anything that falls on sides will be stretched in a way that it will look stretched.. still good quality, but fish eyed.. so not sure if faces would be recognizable or number plates either. We were recording our 1 year old son walking, very happy with results.. when camera is placed on a knee pocket. IMAGE STABILIZATION: ye it's not the best.. if you plan to place it on the dog, I guess then forget about it.. it's not an action cam.. when you are stationary you will get great quality, so for our purpose it's great, I usually stop when my son is doing something, so seems image stabilization doesn't matter for us, or at least it is sufficient for the purpose.. as I put it on my knee I don't really know if image stabilization is not existant or it's just bad as no action cam could cope with being placed on the knee.. SOUND QUALITY: it's really good, but if it was very windy not sure.. as when I walk (it's on my knee as you remember) you barely can hear anything apart from noises of the pants robbing on the camera.. but still can distinguish some talking. if it was on the body pocket I assume you would get good sound during walking. when stationary it's great.. may not capture things far away though.. so like 10meters away will either be quieter or I'm not sure if you would hear anything at all.. i'm really happy with sounds, as when we walk we can hear exactly everything we want. EASE OF USE: very easy for me.. just a switch on it that makes it start recording.. can be plugged into computer to transfer images directly, no need to remove SD card of it.. and easy to charge same way.. battery indication may be a problem.. I never know if it got charge or not.. but just charge it all the time.. that's it.. ADJUSTABILITY: you can just slide it in two ways.. that's it.. it's not adjustable.. you can't turn it at specific degree/angle and keep it like that.. if your fabric on the pocket moves, the camera moves as well.. SIZE: nice and small and descrete.. when on my pants knee pocket my wife only able to notice it half way walking.. so it's not very noticable which is the main reason I bought it. fortunately it's sooo good in so many other ways! Definitly one to try!!!! If the price changed then maybe there would be something else to consider, but at this price range that's my choice 100%. After using this camera I would also look at BOBLOV brand in future, as I'm very happy so far.

Although the quality of the images is good because it doesn't have an image stabilisation function, the videos are bumpy and not good. The on/off switch and other controls are poorly designed, and they could be easily moved to another position without you knowing. I have almost lost this device a few times because it can be easily dislodged. It needs a slot so you can use a string or lanyard to secure it to something. In short, it's quite basic and ill-designed

Small, easy to use but, the link and instructions to get a date and time stamp does not work! I’ve tried 5 times! I wanted this camera incase of issues with bad drivers but without a time and date stamp it won’t help convince the police. Update. I’m returning this product as there is no way to add a time/date stamp. Shame as it was a perfect size to use

Thank you for my order...In short it does what says on the tin and even more....I was just about to send it back as I thought battery is faulty when in fact I've forgot it open in my pocket and recorded nearly 2 hours of video/audio ...I'll keep this little devil - Good budget camera with micro SD card included, nice resolution, good sound - Happy with my bargain, Thank you 😊

Telecamera fatta discretamente bene,in plastica con clip anteriore molto debole per l'aggancio, se si forza si spezza subito.Vomeve capitoto a me.Regge bene la carica col tempo ed è di facile utilizzo.Accessori da poter portare sempre al seguito,piccolo e discreto.Cmq soddisfacente.

Questa piccola bodycam funziona molto bene e riveste ottimamente il suo ruolo di apparecchio per filmare e registrare, è essenziale per documentare gli avvenimenti della vita quotidiana. Segnalo molto positivamente anche il supporto datomi dal Customer Service per aggiornare il time-data dell'apparecchio, nello specifico la signora Felicia, gentile, premurosa e professionale. Cinque stelle!

Absolutely incredible picture and sound capture for $90. Easy to use and sync with my computer. If you know how to download a file from a trusted website and open a file on your computer it’s not hard to change the time stamp as well!

Fonctionne bien, et remplit bien son rôle

Tiene una gran calidad de imagen y de grabación de audio. Ideal para grabar reuniones y atención de funcionarios. Permite también, gracias a sus dos ganchos, que se quede bien fija a la ropa o a un sistema Molle. Se podría usar como equipo de seguridad discreto, aunque existen modelos de esta marca mejores para ese cometido. Como pega, no tiene visión nocturna y una batería relativamente limitada, pero es el modelo más barato de Boblov y la discreción de su tamaño va unida a la pérdida de características. No depende luego de ningún software ni cosas raras, como otra cámara oculta que tuve que comprar. Es muy sencilla de usar y operar. El botón de instantánea no para la grabación de vídeo.
