1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:08,920 I'm not going to sugarcoat this every Chinese GoPro wannabe makes these 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:15,240 unbelievable claims about great full HD or even 4K video recording for 60 bucks 3 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:21,279 or whatever but every single one of them that I have ever touched has been 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:26,359 obviously converting the data from some horrendous 5 00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,840 640x480 sensor if you're lucky not to 6 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:33,920 mention that many of them have a completely unusable UI 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,360 so to call my expectations going into 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,079 this review of the ye action camera 2 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:46,600 low would be very generous so then to 10 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:46,600 say that I was blown away would be an 11 00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,600 understatement cooler Masters masterc case maker 5 features their free form 12 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,720 modular system allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours through 13 00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:12,119 the link in the video description let's start with the basics I've got the 14 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,080 selfie stick kit which includes the E2 camera as I'll be referring to it for 15 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:21,560 the rest of the video a battery a kind of cheap feeling clip-on plastic shutter 16 00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:25,400 button and a surprisingly robust selfie 17 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,320 stick with a locking telescopic well I 18 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:32,360 guess it's a stick terminated with a quarin threaded post and a Smartphone 19 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:37,600 holder bracket that screws onto the one side down here at the bottom it's not 20 00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,439 perfect by reversing the gender of the threading or including an adapter it 21 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:47,320 could have been used to put a phone at the end of the stick when you are not 22 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,280 using the E2 and the top swivel could be 23 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,880 a bit more flexible which would both be welcome improvements to its General 24 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,640 usefulness but I can't fault the selfie sticks build quality overall which 25 00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,920 brings us to the camera itself it's pretty plasticky feeling another or two 26 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,240 would Inspire more confidence in this product but hey as long as she's got it 27 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:12,319 where it counts right at the bottom is the battery and Micro SDXC compartment 28 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:19,840 along with the female quarin Mount at the front is the f2.8 7 element 155° 29 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,519 wide-angle lens covering a Sony IMX 377 30 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:28,720 12.35 megapixel effective seos image sensor capable of 4K video or 12 megapix 31 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:34,519 Stills along with a status indicator light on on the side is a micro USB 32 00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:38,040 charging port on the top are the Dual 33 00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:40,080 microphone ports and a speaker Grill 34 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:46,959 wait a minute why would it need a speaker ah yes because on the back the 35 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:51,239 entire back of the unit is taken up by a 36 00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,480 640x 360 pixel wide format 37 00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:58,760 touchscreen and if you've ever had a major video project riding on correctly 38 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,239 framing a shot with a GoPro Hero 4 black 39 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:05,879 you will surely appreciate apprciate this inclusion and the implementation 40 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,959 isn't halfast either the viewfinder is 41 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:11,879 butter smooth and so is the menu navigation so whether you're changing 42 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:16,599 settings or reviewing a clip you just shot all of which is doable over Wi-Fi 43 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,040 with the GoPro app by the way eliminating this step especially with a 44 00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:26,159 multicam setup where things can get jostled mid shoot like we frequently 45 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,400 find ourselves in a lot of time and 46 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:30,840 guesswork can be saved and the E2 47 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,599 actually supports changing all those settings and previewing your shot live 48 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,239 through their mostly stable app on your phone if you prefer that approach as 49 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,560 well though none of that would be valuable if the shots from your 50 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:50,159 perfectly positioned camera looked like trash would it so let's have a look at 51 00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:52,680 some 4K 30fps footage first compared to 52 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:58,799 the only camera from GoPros lineup that also shoots at that resolution the Hero 53 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,360 4 black so overall whether we're talking 54 00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:07,360 about low light Performance Auto whitee balance scene brightness change response 55 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,120 or really anything else I was really 56 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,599 impressed by this little camera and that's without having access to some of 57 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,639 the modes that only work at lower resolutions the Sixaxis electronic image 58 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:25,040 stabilization that only works if you're shooting at resolutions below 4K and no 59 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:30,320 higher than 60 frames per second is freaking cool and probably worth it for 60 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,520 some people to drop all the way down to 1080p in order to take advantage of it 61 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:41,080 though on that subject I really wish that 2560 by 1440 was a shooting option 62 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,840 since it would be a balance between having some sensor left to enable 63 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:50,400 anti-shake and also having the ability to crop and punch in your footage though 64 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,600 I'm not going to deduct too many marks for this given how impressive this 65 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,320 camera is at half of what we paid for the action cams that we use for most of 66 00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:05,000 our projects with the biggest shocker yet to come the battery life we are used 67 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:10,560 to taking a case load of replacement batteries on any GoPro shoot and 68 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:15,960 switching over to a fleet of e2s would cut in half the frequency with which we 69 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:20,560 need to replace them with sound quality being yet another strong point I mean 70 00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:24,560 sure it's not perfect it's not as good as a lav mic or a boom mic but when 71 00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:29,319 you're speaking directly into the camera from selfie distance even with a fair 72 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:35,680 amount of background noise it's a fast and easy way to get surprisingly usable 73 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,800 audio so I'm in China courtesy of ZTE 74 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:44,639 ZTE can never keep track of what the Canadian way is check out this hotel 75 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,639 room all right press conference is over 76 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,960 so it's time to uh join back up with Brandon and see where he's at on b-roll 77 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,960 for the C camera with the camera as long 78 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:59,160 as you're not using the waterproof case though I've yet to find any action cam 79 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,759 that has really solved that problem on 80 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:06,880 that note their 40m polycarbonate and glass waterproof housing is not included 81 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:11,199 with the kit we got but while I don't have pricing for it yet based on the 82 00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:16,360 last generation ye camera it should land in the $10 to $30 range it doesn't allow 83 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:21,400 the use of the touchcreen obviously but the top button lets you do all of the 84 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,639 essentials power start stop record and 85 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:28,680 power off and this is great it uses a 86 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:31,120 GoPro compatible mounting system which I 87 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:38,120 guess leads us right into the usual issue with any action cam that isn't a 88 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:41,240 GoPro the relatively immature accessory 89 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:44,120 ecosystem now some stuff that's not 90 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,840 available for the E2 can be ignored the waterproof case accessory makes it 91 00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:53,840 compatible with many GoPro mounts including head chest and even scuba suit 92 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,919 Etc but the first- party one anyway 93 00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,360 lacks a more acoustically friendly backing for audio recording while using 94 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,000 those GoPro accessories and I also don't see an obvious solution for non- 95 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:09,360 mounting related accessories like external battery chargers nothing seems 96 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,240 to be available at this time meaning that you will need to charge your 97 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,080 batteries in your camera which is fine for casual users but Pros are going to 98 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:21,680 want something a little bit beefier so they can charge more of them at a time 99 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:27,039 however if that drawback in your mind is easily overcome by the price the screen 100 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:32,639 the footage quality and that quarter inch Mount I won't entirely disagree 101 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:37,400 with you of course it remains to be seen if GoPro will come storming back with 102 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:43,080 the Hero 5 lineup later this year in the meantime though I'll be watching the E2 103 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,680 very very closely tunnel bear is the 104 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:51,960 simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse the web privately and enjoy well 105 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:54,360 a more open internet and the best part 106 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:59,039 about it is that it is easy to use and free for your first 500 Megs of data but 107 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,120 what does it do exactly well when you hit the button that turns tunnel bear on 108 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:09,919 two things happen number one is that your connection gets encrypted with AES 109 00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:11,560 256bit encryption and number two is that 110 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,800 based on whatever you selected in a drop- down up to 20 different countries 111 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:22,560 you will appear to the websites and web services that you use as though you are 112 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,840 browsing from that other country so you 113 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:29,000 could be from the UK or America or 114 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,440 whatever the case may be now if you try 115 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:36,599 out time Tel bear we've got a link in the video description that's tunnel bear.com LT and you go wow gee this is 116 00:08:34,279 -->
