Audio is pretty good you say. What makes this model's audio not good instead of just pretty good? I understand still great, but look for more info.
Thanks.

AMKOV Amk7000s Is really good. You know i am totally satisfied with this. You know if anything have good side that must be have a bad side. Also AMKOV Amk7000s have some bad side that are given below:

Good Side:

• Lower price
• Better connectivity
• Better display

Bad Side:

• Worse camera
• Worse battery

You can also know about AMKOV Amk7000s http://www.china-prices.com/camera/5534/amkov-amk7000s also this http://www.china-prices.com/camera-versus/5534-5570/amkov-amk7000s-vs-firefly-5s site give you a good info about AMKOV Amk7000s.

This post almost seems like spam for the China price site, but whoever it is, they're doing a crappy job selling the camera. So you're saying it's really good, except for the camera part, and the battery part. But it's cheap, so that makes it OK? Lol

Eken H9 is similar to this Amkov camera, so open this facebook group https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1721251831425533&ref=br_rs
and talk to Ron Shaw.

I believe you can use the "FRM" flash program on a Windows computer to load firmware into a camera. But installing SPCA6350 drivers is sometimes tricky. I tried to do a backup of the firmware from camera and save the .BIN file, but I was not successful. Anyway, see the links below.

Hm, no, not a "good" cam, but a nice cam for the low price now. Because 4k is upscaled from either 2.7k or 1080p and looks strange, and 2.7k also looks strange even though the OV4689 sensor can make 4 megapixels. Both 4k and 2.7k video has a MJPEG codec (but not h264 AVC codec). The 1080p 60fps and 720p 60fps modes have fake 60fps in low lighting. The "60fps" is something like double 30fps. The 120fps modes are probably not great either, but I have not tried those. The gyro/EIS feature works but just a little bit. So the difference between gyro/EIS ON and OFF is difficult to see in video footage.

I paid only about ~$46 USD total on Aliexpress for this camera this month (January 2018) and really "I got what I paid for". So i got a 1080p camera that has acceptable to nice video quality at 30fps, but if I'm in bright lighting scenes then the 60fps works well too.

For about $20 USD more, I recommend a different camera (that has a Novatek SoC) such as the Hawkeye Firefly 7s (and use modified firmware from Goprawn forums). The Firefly 7s camera has the feature to force real 60fps.

Here are some unprocessed video samples from the camera. Note that some video files were stream cut by using Avidemux http://avidemux.sf.net software. click - http://pc.cd/CjkctalK

My 7000s firmware version is 1.20, and date is 2016 / 08 / 27

It was my first time to check the reviews on this brand. Surprising that it's good.
