Ok Camera when it works right
This is a good camera for what it is but not w/o some flaws. I originally wanted this over the Mobius but at the time the Mobius was cheaper and went on to be popular while innovv c1s sat on the shelf bc of their high price. They are making the same mistake w their C3 charging too much. $129 you can buy a GoPro Hero w/o any issues. But lets talk about this camera. At $79 it costs as much as the Mobius did almost a yr ago. It shoots great video under bright lit conditions but when shade or shadow is present it shows a blue tint to the shady areas.The contrast is a bit high. You can increase exposure to make it look better but it will white wash brightly lit objects like the sky. The GUI is not as good as the Mobius as there is no positive indications to let you know you've loaded the new settings. There is no contrast adjustment. Firmware updating is a bit confusing to do. Once done i got a brighter less contrast image but there is a red glow or reflection now. Once you do the firmware update theres no going back. Low light is a little on the dark side but its sharp for lit areas. Picture gets a little grainy here and there but not to bad.Audio is loud and clear. However at times theres a little crackling during playback and at times theres a faint beeping noise. Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't. Not quite sure what the ANB setting does but i dont really see too much of a difference especially after the FW update. I have it on day bc the image seems not to turn blue as much. You have 3 choices auto day or night.Clip adjustment can go to 30min segments but mine goes 36min then stops by itself. Thats in the car. At a stand still it operates normally. The motion flip G sensor works pretty good. All things considered this is a good camera not a great camera at $79. Any higher i would not buy this. You can get a polaroid cube at $99 & it has a waterproof case. Form factor is pretty cool but as a camera for video and audio quality the SJ1000 is the king of budget cameras as it does a better job but its not as lightweight or as small as this. I like this camera I don't regret buying this but its a bit finicky at times and the metal shell is nice but a bit slippery.UPDATE: After owning this camera for several months now I am dropping it 1 star to 2 stars. It is really finicky and does not always work the way it should. A lot of times I am recording and go back to look at the files to only see that my computer says it was recorded in an unrecognized file format and that it cannot be opened. HUH? Why does it do this? I don't know but when something becomes cumbersome to use I no longer want to use it. Lost a lot of footage.

Great camera, just beware of it's one failing, and you'll be fine.
I really like this camera! The video is extremely clear, it has a time/date stamp you can remove if you don't want it on your video. It also has something called a "G-sensor" (which gives you the option of mounting it upside-down if you so desire) and comes with a recharging cable (with a proprietary connector on one end, and a regular USB connector on the other end) an A-V cable (for connecting it to your television) and a Lanyard to connect to the tri-pod clip it comes with (there's nowhere to connect it to on the camera itself, as the housing is all metal, and has no openings) The tri-pod clip can slip on and off the case, but if you wish to use it in an upside-down orientation, I would suggest getting some Velcro with adhesive on both sides, (the camera does'nt come with any) Or use super-glue to hold it together, (like I did) only warning, if you use the super-glue, I hope you don't ever want to remove the clip again! Also, the built in microphone is on the front of the camera, at about the 2 o' clock position to the camera lens, and is very sensitive, as I found out when I mounted it on the front of my bicycle. There is also a white (and very bright) LED bulb on the front of the camera, which can be activated with a switch on the side of the camera. One more thing, the camera is NOT waterproof, or even water-resistant! not sure if there's a waterproof case available for it, but keep it away from ANY moisture! It's a great camera aside from that one weakness.

Great value, wide field of view, gets very hot
Works as advertised. Very wide field of view. Great deal.The C1 gets _very_ hot in operation, so plan where you're going to put it - might be prone to overheating, and it might melt some types of plastic.Control and configuration of the unit is handled via button-and-blinky-light, which is a tad cryptic, but gets the job done.

I am very happy with the purchase
Already own two C2 version of this brand that I ordered directly from China. I need a third one but don't have the time to wait to be shipped from China so I ordered this C1 instead from Amazon. The C1 is identical to the C2 minus the lens. I am very happy with the purchase.
