Review: SJCam SJ7 Star from GearBest

(Damn, YouTube has killed the spectacular nature of this footage with its lossy compression!) Wow... this camera really delivers and I am most impressed by its 1080p performance and flexibility. Here's the link to the Gearbest site:

And here's a link to a vlog I filmed with the SJ7 on my XJet channel while I was still getting to grips with it:    • Quick Vlog #8: skies without limits, ...  

Pros:
- 4K at 30 or 25 FPS
- SuperView on most resolutions
- fantastic video resolution even at 1080p
- great build-quality with an aluminium frame
- touch-screen makes operation a breeze
- can use external mic through the mini-USB port
- comes with a good range of accessories
- silicone lens protector is a real bonus
- over 1 hour of operation on a single charge
- replaceable battery
- a plethora of different resolutions and frame-rates
- lens a bit vulnerable if used on a miniquad

cons:
- mounting bracket pushes on touch screen
- no tripod mounting screw
- 120fps modes are pretty crappy

Summary:
I am seriously impressed by the performance of this camera and for under $200 it represents pretty good value for money.
