Hi!
I'm new in the forum, but just got the new Explorer Pro action cam, and thought I'd write a bit oog my first experiences with it.
I read the specs on the E Pro, Git2 & Eken H8, and decided to go for the E.Pro because of the Diving mode. I will mainly use it for diving, in addition to my Olympus M43, and for making videos and timelapse for my company FB site.
The quality seems not to be as my former flooded GoPro Hero 3, but acceptable. The 4K was a bit of bonus, as I will mainly use it in FHD mode. The 4K is also upscaled, I know...
Lots of accessories included compared to the Hero 3, especially like the cage, so I don't have to use the UW housing to use a tripod.
Lots of menus, EV compensation, etc. But. a hassle to delete photos/videos, as you have to go to the right menu page(10!) using the up/down buttons to delete...
The manual is crappy, you have to find out most things by try/fail.
You can also use it in realtime as a webcam. Have not found out how the SlowMotion feature works....
Bugs I've found:
Date/Time always present in photos, even if you turn it off in the menus.
If you change the Date format, you cant put in day & month in the new format...
So, they need to upgrade the firmware ......
But, I must admit I like the camera Veery cheap compared to the specs.
The SD-card have a folder called NOVATEK, with Subfolders PHOTO and MOVIE.
I'll se if I can upload some more photos later, the include one was originally 4032x3024.
