I only looked at the US site and it's $89.99 there.

I just checked the 2nd UK link and it's £49 so that's cheaper.
Maybe price mistake on the 1st UK link.
 
It was you who posted the Amazon UK link .....lol in your initial post at the top of the thread.

I know but I didn't check the site.
I had the links from supplier's email that I posted here.
 
Ah... right and just shows you how we get shafted here in the UK.
 
Video samples on a bicycle: I used handlebar mount from a different action camera and it was not very tight so you'll hear some mount rattling sound.

That is what I was thinking and I'm going to be honest here all the clips look terrible.
 
do the raw files look better than the screenshots posted?
Not much better.
I think the lens is OOF on this sample plus it has heat focus shift issue in 4k mode.
I will post more videos as a dashcam and you'll see rain drops on windshield sharp but everything else oof.

Yes, it doesn't seem sharp compared to my other 4k action cameras.
For example, here's Firefly 6S 4k in the same streets I reviewed last year:Firefly 6S 4K sample
 
Another JPEG 4K camera? They should sell such things only in China.

enjoy,

I don't like any of the videos you posted if I'm being honest unless you have a faulty copy If looking at my post where it tests the camera along with 4 others models looked the best in the bunch .

Yes, I think lens on this one is oof to begin with that gets worse after it gets hot.
I'll do a side by side with another action camera to see how it comes out.
