Awful: Avoid
The potential is there...but no one wants to pay for potential results when actual results are what matters. And as this camera goes, the actual results are underwhelming. The camera itself is decent but unspectacular. However when considering the price point, unspectacular equates to bad value for the money. Hardware-wise, the camera has good build quality with some gripes around usability. It feels like a well-built Nikon product. Where it counts with image quality though, the results will not blow you away. It is definitely a step up from the Ricoh Theta S, but then that is a pretty low bar. Camera shake issues when helmet mounted or handheld seem to impact shots badly. I don't recall having the same issues with GoPros or the Ricoh Theta. Battery life is good in the cold of the Sierra Nevada winter (especially compared to my GoPro Black). Camera control through the app and/or post-editing using the 360 Utility may however drive you to frustration. First off, I found connectivity issues between the camera and the iPhone-based app particularly unreliable (even with the latest firmware update). The shooting controls on the camera itself are pretty limited, so app use is essential for activities like setup and download. The Mac-based app for post-processing is a fairly minimal affair. You can do some basic trimming and other essential adjustments. If you are in the market for a 360 camera, then I'd wait for the next generation or for them to mature the firmware. I just don't think this camera is ready for prime-time. Updated: Feb 2018 - I now think this camera is just awful. Image quality is really not very good. And to me, the camera is incredibly frustrating to use. The iOS app and MacOS app are both unacceptably bad. There are always issues connecting to the camera. Firmware updates haven't seemed to fixed any of this. As a long time Nikon customer having purchased lots of cameras and lenses from them, I have to say I feel pretty burned by Nikon on this dog. They produced an utterly miserable product that after being out for a long time still fails to even reach the bar of being mediocre.

Exactly what I expected. Great outdoor 360
I admit, it took a little playing to figure out how to connect to my phone... but I had no issues. It's a little confusing, because it has quickly disconnects wifi when not in use. You have to manually reconnect every time. I had no issues using iOS apps to view photos and videos with Cardboard saved to my gallery and on my HTC Vive. I went 4 stars because low light quality is very grainy, but I'm impressed with the outdoor dhots I made. It was much like indoor GoPro (Hero 4 black) images. I can't wait to do more... heck I'm going to go 5 stars to try to balance all the negative reviews.

Let a Husky Musher tell you why this camera is actually great
As a videographer and photographer, I have chronicled my outdoor adventures for the past 20 years. I am an urban musher, which means I harness my team of Huskies to a cart and travel on trails and streets. I don’t use a snow sled for mushing in Alaska; instead, I use modified bicycles and mush with my pack from Baltimore to California. They call me the WooFDriver. And while I might be an expert on all things Husky, I am equally an expert on the equipment that I use to record our epic adventures. I’m usually the first one to buy a new kind of camera to test it out so that I can be an early adopter of any kind of technology that pushes the boundaries further, since I myself push boundaries. I will pioneer news ways of using equipment to get the best shot possible and with enough trial and error I’ll make sure I get that shot. There are links to all the shots I talk about in this review: Just search the internet for “WooFDriver Reviews” and you’ll find the page. When Nikon released their KeyMission 360, I was very excited because I’d been using virtual reality cameras for better than two years already, perfecting my skill with them and learning their bugs. Nikon is one of the largest and most respected camera manufacturers, so when it got involved in the GoPro-type camera market I jumped on board to see how they’d taken videography and photography to the next level. Competition and availability of any technology is always a plus for consumers, and the KeyMission seemed like it was going to add to the virtual reality game. I ordered it as soon as it was released, took it out of its box, connected it to my mobile phone, and I was off to the races — literally. The Huskies were raring to run and I experimented with ways to capture spherical, 360-degree images of our trek as we headed outside. The camera had a learning curve, as they all do, but I loved it. As I began to plan my review of the KeyMission, I checked Amazon and was shocked to see so many negative comments and reviews. This camera is NOT worth all of the negative attention it’s receiving; in my opinion, the camera earns nearly 4 stars out of 5. It has plenty of pros, a few cons, and compares favorably to the other two cameras I’ve used the most: the Kodak SP360 models and the Ricoh Theta. I had started my VR journey with the Kodak, then jumped into the Ricoh and was pleasantly surprised with its simplicity and the results it yielded. The Ricoh Theta is an excellent camera, and when I then moved into the Nikon market, I found the KeyMission held its own against the Theta. I actually travel with both of them now, using them interchangeably as I record my adventures with my dog team. The KeyMission has the advantage of endless memory. Instead of containing non-removable (and therefore limited) interior storage, it takes memory cards. My storage is limited only by how many memory cards I pack with me on a trek. This is a huge advantage over the Theta which has 8 GB, something I can burn through very quickly. I do not want my shooting capabilities to be hampered, especially when I’m 20 miles deep into the C&O Canal path with four Huskies who don’t want to stop. I can shoot and collect footage without visiting my computer for days. Another huge advantage of the KeyMission is its ability to let the photographer view his own content without downloading it first. This means I can review my footage at a campsite at night without having to wait until I am back home from my journey. I don’t have to download my footage on a computer and convert it to 360-degree format in order to see it; that process is painstaking and time-intensive. For this reason, Nikon has vastly improved the process over Ricoh. Some of the negative reviews of the KeyMission focus on its connectivity, so I’ll share my experience with that. The connection requires a two-step process of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for full functionality. It will have limited functionality with a Bluetooth-only connection. In my extensive use of both Android and Apple mobile phone platforms, I discovered I had fewer inconsistencies connecting the KeyMission to an Android than an iPhone. In a second note about connectivity, I further discovered when the battery level neared depletion, connectivity suffered on any platform. I recommend carrying spare batteries to avoid this problem. Because Wi-Fi connectivity can be problematic, I always like to have a backup. For when the connection to a mobile phone fails, Nikon offers a remote control which I really like. I am all about the failsafe solutions – driving my dogs outside and sometimes mushing miles from anything, I always look for failsafes and backups. And usually a remote control that is dedicated to a particular brand, in this case Nikon, is a pretty failsafe solution. With that being said, people have commented about not being able to see what they’re videoing or taking a picture of – the remote doesn’t frame the shot for you like your phone does – but my solution is to try to frame the content you’re trying to film with a quick connect to your phone, adjust the position of the camera, then proceed on using the remote. Plus, as you get a feel for 360-degree photography and videography, you eventually won’t need the visual aid as you will be able to anticipate the shot you’ll get. As far as picture quality, it’s excellent. The KeyMission offers a higher resolution than the Theta, but I wouldn’t say the pictures are necessarily any sharper. That’s not a complaint – the pictures and videos are beautiful with both devices. Some of the negative reviews have been about Nikon’s stitching; photographers report that they can see the seams when the KeyMission creates the sphere, but for me that’s not a valid complaint. Folks, that’s called “missing the forest for the trees,” as they say. Sure, a seam may not be 100% perfect but it’s dang near close enough, and LOOK AT WHAT YOU’RE GETTING. You’re getting a limitless virtual reality experience in a 360-degree sphere of awesomeness, and all of your friends, family, and fans can experience the video you’ve captured as though they were sitting on the dog cart next to you while you were flying through an old railroad trail! Wait… that’s just me! What’s YOUR passion? Remember, this is new technology, and it’s improving constantly. When this technology was nascent, I was stitching the images myself on the Kodak, so I have zero complaints about Nikon doing it for me. Another huge improvement Nikon made over Ricoh is the KeyMission’s weatherproof and waterproof capabilities. The Theta can’t compete. The Theta takes a waterproof case, which works, but the case distorts the scene and the stitching, bringing the imagery down to a just- acceptable view. I filmed fish entirely underwater using the Theta in its waterproof case so you can check out that video and its quality on my website (remember, just search for “WooFDriver Reviews”) whereas the KeyMission is waterproof without a case so there will be no distortion. So if the KeyMission is so amazing, then what’s the downside? Well, here’s one. The Theta’s stitching is better, if that’s the hill you must die on. I encourage you not to focus on the stitching with any camera because you’re missing the incredible immersive experience of virtual reality, which is 99% of the experience (the stitching being about 1%, in my opinion) but if stitching is your thing, then stitching is your thing. The Theta’s is better. Also, the shape of the KeyMission doesn’t lend itself well to handheld shots without using a monopod or selfie stick, which I would consider a negative over the Theta. The Theta has a built-in handle, more or less – it’s designed with a long narrow shape that fits in your hand and is definitely superior for handheld use. Finally, the biggest problem with the KeyMission is the same as with all virtual reality photos: There’s no real place to catalog photos, and any video cataloging is limited to YouTube. YouTube allows a video gallery but for photos, there’s no easy photo album or gallery that can be created. Why do we use 360-degree cameras? Why do we capture the entire height and breadth of our adventure? To share, of course. And with no easy sharing platform, we’re often without a good way to upload our spherical stories. Facebook will usually exhibit the VR style, but depending on your device’s capabilities, you may not always see the full experience if the computer you’re on (or tablet, or mobile phone, etc.) doesn’t support it. Personally, I’ve found the best way to display these images on a website in any kind gallery fashion is to use a plugin on the WordPress platform which seems to work well (you can see examples on my website). You might ask yourself what this has to do with a review, but I think sharing the videography and photography that chronicles our lives, jobs, and passions is a window that’s now open to us. We can keep in touch with friends and with distant family; we can build a fan base; we can create documentaries of our travels; we can transmit our experiences for business purposes. The applications are endless. But websites on the Internet need to catch up. Sharing an entire scene of what we’re seeing on social media outlets like Facebook works for a moment, but users will find it hard to scroll backwards through memories, going through old posts to try to find a really cool photo or video. Hopefully Facebook someday will offer an album feature – an organization where VR photos can be catalogued. As of now, Flickr offers some VR display capabilities, but not as adequately as I would like. The most desirable way to display these photographs and videos are in a format that automatically spins and auto-displays the entire view, but also allows you to interact with it to look higher, lower, or back the other way. This technology is unbelievable, but you have to ask yourself what you want to do with it. With any of the cameras I’ve used, I am truly wowed by their capabilities at being able to capture an entire scene, but my options for sharing it with the world are different. For example, after the journey and back at home, the Nikon is actually the easiest to use when sitting at a desktop or laptop computer. I can insert all of the storage cards straight into my computer to review and edit anything I need to, then post all my footage online. This process is best for a guy like me, who is a heavy photographer and videographer adventuring out all the time who is really into the Nikon for the endless storage. My uploads at the end of an adventure can be massive. However, for posting on the fly, during an adventure, the Theta is best. It connects to a tablet or smart phone for quick posts and sharing from the field. I love, and use, my Ricoh, but as for the Nikon, I wouldn’t take a trip without it. Thanks for reading! Good luck with your decision, and have a wonderful journey! If you’re still comparing the Nikon to the Ricoh to the Kodak, please check my WooFDriver website to see all the different images and videos taken in the past two years on all three cameras, ever since I entered the world of virtual reality. If you want to know more about me, just use Google and Facebook! I am the only WooFDriver!

Not as bad as many reviewers say
------INTRO----- I got my preordered KeyMission 360 today (November 1st). I've had a few days to read the reviews piling up. I was really getting bummed that it appeared the camera wasn't even functional. I read all the reviews and watched all the youtube samples/info i could find. Here's what i've learned from now having the camera; ------APP & Connecting----- First of all, I own the Gear 360 and now the KeyMission 360. The Gear 360 is hit and miss when connecting to the app on my S7. It syncs most of the time but fails 20% of the time. The data transfers take 30-45 minutes for 8 minutes of video. I believe it's processing the stitch during this, plus bluetooth is slow anyways. During the long transfers the camera would overheat, then i'd have to start the transfer over (a house fan helps keep it cool). Transferring files off the camera to the phone was a long process. The KeyMission 360 stitches the footage in the camera itself. The app couldn't sync to the phone but i only tried for 15 minutes or so. There is software (Nikon KeyMission Utility) that installs on my PC and when the camera is connected via USB, it syncs to the PC perfectly every time. In this utility software i can make any adjustments to the settings that i need to make. I can access the camera media via this app too but I can easily access all the footage on the camera without any app or software, just like all my digital cameras and android phones in the past. I simply plug it in to the computer with a USB cable, the camera comes up as a drive in "computer" or "my computer" just like a flash drive or another flash media type. Then it's as simple as drag and drop all the files i want off the camera. Works great. The phone app would be a nice accessory but i really don't need it. Everything i need to do to the camera i can do with my computer utility. It would be nice to be able to adjust settings while on the go but i don't find too many situations where i need those adjustments. If i thought it would be necessary, i'll bring a laptop. -----Image Quality----- The actual quality of the image is low. I guess that's my number one complaint. Another reviewer mentioned that 360 video should be shot at 8k and i think he's right. The quality is similar to the Gear 360. I think Samsung has a better dark shot. -----Over-heating----- I read of others having over-heating issues. I think someone said it overheats in 10 or 15 minutes. I recorded a concert in a room that was probably about 80 degrees. It recorded for about an hour without any overheating. Of course this was just one example. As i use the camera more, i will update what i discover about the overheating. So far i haven't had any overheating with the KeyMission 360. 2016-11-24 Over-Heating Update. I have not had this camera overheat, not even once. I haven't used it in 100 degrees, but 80-85, no problems. About 5 or 6 times i've hit record and just let it go. I've recorded over and hour numerous times. Works great. -----Social/Web Sharing----- Some reviewers were complaining about not having some easy social sharing built in. The way i see it, who cares, as long as i can snap shots, transfer it off, i can compress/edit it later, then post it wherever i like. -----Summary----- I was torn between rating this camera 3 or 4 stars. The reason i chose 3, 1) Darker/Night shooting is too low of quality, it really should be improved. 2) Apps on phones don't work. 3) The Stitch is usually quite obvious. The Samsung Gear 360 stitches better but takes quite a bit longer to accomplish this. If i were deciding between the Samsung Gear 360 and the KeyMission 360; If you absolutely need waterproof, shock proof and freeze proof, go with the KeyMission, else go with the Samsung Gear.

Nikon will need to go on MISSION to FIX this product
I am a hobbyist with passion towards landscapes and portraits. I am using Nikon products for almost 6 years now. lets see details about Nikon KeyMission 360: Built: Very Good Very nicely built, feels rugged after applying silicone jacket ,at the same time it feels delicate. I felt it little heavier in hands( which feels good when you know you are going to attach it in windy environment / going to attach on your car. ) Performance: I did not like..can’t believe its Nikon quality Video : lets divide it in to low light performance and bright light performance. If you look at all Nikon sample videos, most of them are recorded in sunny environment, which gives OK Performance in reality not as close to product videos ( not near to 4K quality ). Quality in center is good but 1/3 of the screen is always blurry ( all the corners ) and hazy like vignetting. It does stitch videos and photos very good, occasionally I see overlapping but Nikon has already mentioned about that in their initial advertisements. Can not expect VGA digital photo quality from Nikon in 2016. Low light / indoor videos are super grainy - lot of noise. Looks only little better than VGA quality. I think I came across a number for ISO, it is only 1200. ( not sure though ) Photos: I found OK quality of photos, they look sharper compared to videos. But not as sharp as 23.9 megapixel. Average file size they generate, is 11-12mb. Photos do not look that hazy at corners. Snapbridge360/170 App: minus 10 points Snapbridge App to use with DSLR had real bad reviews, I think Nikon has not learn anything from that mistake. Its tricky to connect your smart phone to camera. ( I found it easier to connect on field /outdoors rather than in house, don’t know why ) . Initial attachment to Wi-Fi and password need was super exhausting on top of that I was keep getting error that camera is still not paired. As I mentioned , on field/ outdoor it is easier to connect to camera. It still takes more than 30 seconds to attach and drops connection couple of times. I could never figure out that after connecting phone remotely once you start recording video you can never stop recording remotely. If anyone could figureout that, please mention that in comment. Desktop software/App – Key Mission Utility: Minus 10 points Photos/ videos taken from your own company camera should look excellent at least on your own company software. Quality looks TERRIBLY BAD on this Desktop /laptop software. It cannot even run videos smoothly ( my only 20 second video was super grainy, looked like taken from VGA which I could not rotate in 360 smoothly and it kept on hanging up 3-4 times ). I opened it in regular Windows video viewer , quality looked much better but not 4K for sure and of course it was flat panorama. Share ability: Minus 10 points Videos does have Meta data that can be read by 3rd party software and online website, it recognized by popular website for 360 videos easily. But photos somehow failed that test. I was keep getting flat panoramic photo uploaded everytime when I tried to upload it as VR photo. There is not any easy way to share your photos ( which are better compared to Videos ) or videos with your friends – family. You can’t ask everyone to download snap bridge ( and that even won’t work without having a camera ) so you end up showing them flat panoramic photos/ videos. Quality on FB / youtube drops drastically but Frankly speaking it looked much better compared to Nikon Key mission Utility software. Value for money: Not worth $500 It seems truly entry level 360 camera. When VR cameras are out in market for roughly 1.5 years, Nikon should ( could ) do better. Verdict: Avoid it. There are not many choices for 360 video cams and of course not action cameras. It’s a good step towards it by Nikon but it seems like product is still not mature enough to perform in real life. Only thing I liked about camera is its sturdy built and no need to Post process (- stitch) it in any software. It seems Nikon is on step 1 while we all expected it to be on top level. I would NOT recommend it to buy. It will be worth waiting for better 360 action camera. may be Nikon will come with better one as a successor , you never know.

Disappointed
As a foreword, I build application and spend time thinking about user experience and interface on behalf of my users. I consider myself pretty technical and was super excited to get the KeyMission. On paper, the form factor is great, it seems like a good product, rugged and waterproof with good specs. I preordered a few weeks ago to get the accessories. Fast-forward to yesterday and the arrival of the package. Like a kid on xmas day, I started with the accessories pack. Those were great. It includes a battery, a small tripod, a telescopic selfie stick and mounting for helmets with 2x3M bases. Next came the camera box. Simple and efficient packaging. Camera was smaller than I expected - good. I then find 2 extra lenses and get curious. I grab the manual and find out something that was not advertised: the camera is waterproof, BUT you have to use those underwater lens protectors. Those lens protectors restrict the field of vision, plus the magnifying effect of the water means that your videos will NOT be 360 degrees. This means that you would not be able to shoot 360 outside the water, jump in the water and continue shooting the rest of you adventure underwater. First disappointment... I then started setting up the camera. The battery was almost completely discharged: frustrating when you get a new toy and want to start playing with it. Next, it does not come with a charger (not even included in accessory pack), so I placed the battery in the 360 and plugged in the USB using the provided cord. Annoying, but I can get over that. While I was waiting for the device to charge I downloaded the SnapBridge 170/360 for my iPhone and then iPad. While it was charging I was able to switch on the camera, pair it with my phone and start using the SnapBridge app. The iOS version works over either Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. From my understanding Bluetooth is for the basic functionality, while Wi-Fi is for streaming video from the camera to the phone or downloading large media files. For connecting via Wi-Fi, it asks for the network password. The default password was nowhere to be found in the manual and required a couple of Google searches to find the right information. The password can be found/set in a network menu buried several levels deep in the SnapBridge app. Ok, Wi-Fi password entered and the connection established. I can now get a cool "low-res" view of what the camera is seeing. Pretty good, with the option of moving the picture around by swiping. Note: the image does not move when you move your iPad, you need to swipe or use the provided arrows. From that screen you can start recording or taking pictures. It works. Tweaking the picture or video settings is clunky and very limited. Using the frame of reference of an iOS device, it feels like I'm looking at the first iteration of the iPhone photo app from 10 years ago. I should have direct access to photo, video, time lapse, 360, 180 but you have to access a settings menu. No way to only use one of the cameras for 180 mode. When navigating around menus, the Wi-Fi connection to the camera seems to drop without warning and I have to go back to phone Settings to reconnect to camera's Wi-Fi network. Next I wanted to download a video and picture from the camera to the phone. There's a gallery at the Camera level where you can select the files to download to the gallery at the iOS level. So there's a gallery for the device and then another for the camera... If I've confused you then I succeeded in conveying my impressions using SnapBridge overall. Once the photos I wanted to download were selected, there's a button to download. Once pressed a strange message appears to inform me that download will resume when bandwidth is available. Not clear if my request to download succeeded, so I tap another couple of time with same result. No feedback in the gallery of anything downloading. Go back one level and there I see that some files are downloading. So I wait. And wait. After 10 minutes I have 0/8 files downloaded. Seems like nothing is happening! I try again. At some point in my retries one file makes it across. Success. Where are the others? I decide that its maybe my phone, so I try again with my iPad that has 80gb free space and get the same result. It's now late and I'm really frustrated so I decide to download the SnapBridge app for both OSX and Windows to see if would get better results getting to my files. I connected the Camera using USB to the Mac and was able to download the file and play the movie. Download speed was super slow, but I guess that should be expected with large files. I wonder what the connectivity is, USB2 no-more. -- Ok, before posting the above I decided to take it out on a family trip. Without thinking about it too much, I decided NOT to use the iOS apps, but instead only to record using the camera buttons. Like all action cams, you're working blind with only the read "recording" lights coming on when filming. In the evenings I tried to connect to my iPad to review my work and ran into connectivity issues. I got to connect via Bluetooth and then Wi-Fi once and think it was because I went into settings and "Forgot" both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings and reconnected from scratch. I decided not to persevere and to wait until I could get back to my desktop. Back at home connecting the camera to the computer also did not seem to work. I ended up just taking the memory card out and transferring files to my system that way. I was then able to view the files in the desktop utility. The only option available in the menu is to save the file for YouTube which I did on a couple. I then uploaded the files to YouTube and was able to view them. YouTube also provided the Cardboard/VR/Split view option. Looking at the result the movies shot outside with good lighting provided good results, while the low lighting ones were grainy and unimpressive - think about your first cell phone videos. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the stitching is apparent. You need to take that into account when filming: if the subject is in the stitch area it will be distracting. -- Conclusions: Nikon seems to have done an okay job with the camera itself. Outdoor movies look decent to good while low lighting could be better. SnapBridge seems like it was a rush job. For the price of this camera, I was expecting a polished interface with simple to use interface. Future versions of the app may improve the overall experience, but I won’t be there to find out. I'm returning the KeyMission 360 and will wait for a more polished product to reenter the 360 action cam arena. ------------------------- The good: Looks good Waterproof The not great: Waterproof, but no 360 underwater. The bad: SnapBridge application functionality Clumsy connectivity Wi-Fi connectivity keeps dropping Downloads don’t seem to work No sharing to social networks
P**N
All around disappointment and the lack of polish at this price is a slap in the face.
Missing 360 data: This one is huge, they did not make the camera write the data to the image to make it so websites display the image as a 360. You have to edit the meta data on each image before uploading. Both Google and Samsung Gear VR could not read the images until this data was manually added. This was such a basic thing, every other 360 camera does it. It would just take a few lines of code in the firmware to do this but yet they left it out. Build: Build quality seems great. The device has good weight to it and feels solid. During my testing I did not run into overheating but some have reported it. The buttons on the device are not intuitive so you will have to read the manual. Having replaceable lens protectors is great and a reason I would never buy the Samsung gear 360. Image quality: If it is overcast forget about it. You need direct sun for this device to produce anything that does not look like mud. There are tons of compression artifacts and there is no sharpness to anything in the images. Even in well lit rooms it preforms poorly. Software: AWFUL- I am using a Note 4 and the connection drops every time the application is not in the foreground. If the screen locks the connection is lost. I have to reboot the camera to get the connection back. The software also does an awful job of displaying images. They look extremely distorted in all of Nikon's software (mobile and desktop). No testing went into this software. The camera also takes a photo every time I turn it on. Image Settings: Extremely bare bones. With how poor the images are you will be looking to try to tweak the settings but you can't. I don't know how Nikon could be so far behind the competition in this area. There is also no HDR setting to help deal with the poor performance. The most worrying thing about the lack of HDR is how easy it would have been for them to implement in camera, it was just lazy. Stitching quality: The stitch is rather large and uses a blur to mesh the front and back images resulting in some noticeable areas of blur. In my testing even when keeping well above the recommended distance between the camera and subjects the blur line was visible on areas that contained details. It was less noticeable outside with things very far off in the distance. Video: Don't expect "4k" quality when talking about 360 videos since the image is stretched all the way around. I went into this understanding that and it still looks awful. The lower frame rate on an action cam is also odd. For $500 you would think they could put enough horse power in there to pull off a full resolution 30 FPS option. They also did not include a h.265 recording option. I don't think I could show anyone the resulting video without some degree of embarrassment. Sharing: Their sharing platform is a joke and not worth using. 360 degree images don't work out of the box so it is a pain to share them the right way on better sites. Final thoughts: DO NOT BUY. They rushed it out or just did not care. The lack of the most basic features and missing meta data shows how little effort went into this device. Also never hope for a firmware update to fix problems after you can no longer return something, once they have your money they don't care. Nikon, you took a dump in a box and then charged me $500 for it. I have used Nikon my whole life and this feels like a betrayal.

arrived quick and as expected. I had trouble getting it initiated at first but Amazon tech people helped me get it going! It will not initiate until it pairs with your phone or iPad or tablet. Green flashing and no red flashing, means the pair was not successful. but once you pair, BAM, it's a little gem! Thanks Amazon tech guys and thanks vendor!

Buen producto
Buena calidad de imagen y del producto, tengan en cuenta que es una cámara de acción, creo que hay mejores para uso profesional que esta, el wifi falla mucho debería de ser mas estable, ya que al no tener display y manipular todo desde el teléfono, se hace todo lento.
