Took delivery of this fine chinese (well, somewhere in asia) piece of equipment after watching a positive video review of it on youtube.
Here's a short clip from the footage I took yesterday to give you an idea of the quality.
Sj4000 test "4k quality"
Good points:
- Well packaged
- Marked as gift with low value (no customs/vat etc)
- Ridiculous amount of mounting pieces supplied, 2 helmet mounts and many more
- Cheap spare batteries (I ordered 2 extra, 3 total)
- For £70/€80 the quality is half decent
- Appearance wise it's a clone of the GoPro, that means it will fit into any of the GoPro mounts out there (readily available)
Bad points:
- It's no gopro in terms of video quality
- I went for the free shipping, ordered on the 6th of February and delivered on the 12th of March. (Was shipped on 22nd of February)
- As you can see from the video the sound is pretty poor, no option of external mic either
Here is where I bought it from: http://www.foxoffer.com/sj4000-full-hd-w...p-659.html

I've only used it for about 50 minutes recording time and the file size came out around 6gb total. I've a 16gb Class 10 micro sd card in it. Overall I can't really complain, for the price that it is the quality is about what I would expect. It's around 1/5th the price of the top end go pro and quality is about half as good maybe. You can be the judge of that.
As an added bonus, I ordered this on my phone in the scratcher one morning and the order went through twice by mistake (though only one paypal payment was sent) and it looks like this place has sent me two packages. The first package arrived with everything I ordered, waiting patiently for the second to arrive right now :lol
