KanDaoQooCam 3 Action Camera with Dual 1/1.55" Sensors, 5.7K 30FPS 360 Sports Camera, HDR Video, 62MP Panoramic Photo, DNG8, F1.6 Large Aperture, Stabilization, Waterproof, Superior Night Shot

This action camera is really nice! I love that it has a true 360 setting - you can capture the entire scenery around you. The set comes with the camera, a selfie stick, and a bunch of different attachments. I got this to use mostly with my wheelchair and one of the small attachments works very well to attach onto my chair. There is an extra battery that comes with the camera and it is ESSENTIAL; the battery life on this is not great, which is the reason I’m giving four stars instead of five. That’s really the only thing I’ve found that’s a downside for me. Other than that I have loved everything else about the camera so far. The speed is perfect, the picture quality is very nice, and the portability is perfect for me.Four stars, and I will update if anything changes. In terms of a bundle, this is really good for the price and I still highly recommend.

I’ve been using the KanDao QooCam 3 Action Camera for my motorcycle adventures, and it performs adequately. The video quality is good, especially with features like HDR and stabilization. However, I can’t help but notice that the build quality feels a bit cheap compared to other brands like Insta360, GoPro, and DJI.While it’s more affordable, the parts don’t fit together as seamlessly as I’d prefer. It’s functional, but the overall feel is less sturdy. Given the unknown brand reputation and warranty concerns, I’m hesitant to fully recommend it for something as crucial as an action camera.In summary, it’s not a bad camera and does what it promises, but potential buyers should consider the build quality and warranty aspects carefully.

The media could not be loaded. I'm enjoying using this KanDao 360 Action Cam with its loads of great features. While I’m experienced using DSLR’s, I admit this is my first foray into 360-degree cameras and my impression is that's it's both fun but also a little frustrating.The fun part: The KanDao 360 Motorcycle Combo kit comes with a slew of items to get started including two batteries, a 48" selfie pole, a fast 64GB V30 Samsung MicroSD card, a handlebar mount and a bundle of mounting brackets with adhesive strips.The camera is durably made and easy to handle and operate. It's weather and waterproof down to about 30 ft. (IP 68 rating), so it's perfect for boating, snorkeling and general all-weather outdoor use. The camera menu and the app are both simple to navigate and I found it easy to locate and switch between the various settings using swipes and clearly marked icons.There are lots of photo and video option and settings to choose from: AEB, (automatic exposure bracketing), interval, time lapse, DNG, loop recording. Under video settings I can shoot up to 5.7K and under photos, up to 62MB resolution which is awesome. The individual components in the kit are well-designed and well-made.The motorcycle clamp and pole system is excellent, very sturdy and allows for significant positioning of the camera in almost any angle. The hardware and 3M adhesive pads allow me to mount the camera on helmets, car windows, fenders, kayaks, motorcycles or plane wings if I'm game.The frustrating: Optical quality is generally good with some distortion occurring at edges of the field of view. One frustrating discovery was not being able to share with friends any 360-degree photos/videos using the QooCam 3 app. I located some online subscription software that will do the job, but don't expect to share 360 photos or videos easily. The software can however, flatten and save images in 2D as shown in this review. Editing the videos can be done via the app but revisions are limited and expect to use additional software to achieve desired results. When viewing photos or videos using the app, they were clear with excellent resolution.One useful feature is that the camera can be operated remotely using an app on my phone which is a great idea to avoid being in a 360-degree picture or video. Unfortunately, I found the effective wireless distance was limited to about 20'-25' and pretty much line of sight.Two batteries are included in the kit and I'm glad they were there. When using the app and connecting to the camera using WiFi, I often found the battery would run low in under an hour. But, when I used the camera without the app, battery life was much better.One surprise was the lack of a case. The camera uses fish-eye lenses that protrude from each side and they must be protected from scratches but unfortunately, no case or soft bag is included in the kit.The camera has a built-in six axis gyroscope that works well but it's not as effective as using a gimbal. Raw videos still show significant movement.I would recommend reading the privacy policy and terms of service that comes with the app as they're pretty expansive. They explicitly state the app collects info such as cell phone number, email, SIM card info, WiFi and much more. If you have an Android phone you can't opt out. The Apple app store says the QooCam 3 app collects no information but inside the app it states it does so what’s the truth?Bottom Line: Well-featured 360 camera that's durably made and built to be used in all kinds of weather and in watery environments. It has a lot of excellent features which can be accessed directly through the camera menu or via a phone app. The app isn't needed to operate the camera but it does offer editing features that are not on camera. The kit comes with a four-foot-long selfie stick and an excellent motorcycle/bicycle handlebar clamp. The camera produces high quality photos and videos but expect to use additional software for editing.

The media could not be loaded. This camera is so much fun. Audio is okay, but I'll be using voice overs most of the time anyway. Image files are huge, as it be expected. App is pretty easy to use both on my Android phone and windows desk top. Surprisingly the desktop app doesn't seem to bog down my computer as I'm using it.The resulting videos are weird and wonderful and great to use in my vlogs and other videos. I cannot wait to strap this onto my bike and get some wonderful ride videos.Video quality is sharp and crisp and really great. I haven't shot in lower light yet, but in the bright sunlight I've been in so far, it's awesome.For file management, when you import the video files to your computer, you must copy all 3 with similar names, 1,2 and proxy; this makes sense when you see them. 1 is the front cam, 2 the rear cam, and proxy is for the app to read them. Delete one and you delete the app's ability to understand the files.Files sizes are large so make sure you have the capacity to handle them. I included and unedited video direct from the cam so you can get an idea of what it looks like raw. I also included a screenshot of the same video.The included selfie stick is really light weight and useful for all my cameras.
