Thank you @GearBest for providing Amkov AMK7000S action camera for review.
Amkov AMK7000S is available for $99.99 (or less when on sale) at Gearbest here: ***************************************************
Review Summary: Pretty good action camera for the price.
Daytime video quality is very good.
Night video is not that great with grainy yellow patches but not too bad and is enough to show objects.
I think it overexposes night to have better visibility and thus also brings in those grains and yellow patches.
4K is only 10fps so not much benefit but 2.7k @ 15fps and 1080p @ 60fps work very good.
There is anti shake option in the settings.
As a dashcam, you can't use this because of no looping option.
There is "Video Seamlapse Duration" in Wi-Fi app but even that doesn't make it loop.
I got card full error and had to format it to record further.
Audio is pretty good.
Wrist Watch remote works good but only from the front as that's where the RF receiver is.
Haven't tested underwater but I expect it to work fine with the waterproof housing.

CAR is probably for car mode with loop files but I just tested it in default settings so the files are under VIDEO folder.

Video 28.1 mbps and audio 128kbps.
