GoPro Clone Camera from Turnigy - an $88 Alternative to the GoPro?

8/5/2014

I cam across a Turnigy branded GoPro clone camera on HobbyKing.com that might be an ideal way to lower your cost of flying aerial photography over water or other places where spending less money increases your confidence!  This thing is less than $90!!  It looks like a near replica of the GoPro, but I would not count on it bolting directly into the Zenmuse on the DJI phantom 2.  I have not decided yet if I am going to order one, but if anyone has a chance to check it out please let me know!  There are a few reviews complaining about excessive lens flair, but here is a positive review I copy and pasted from Hobbyking:

Got mine today. Great video and same video resolutions as gopro, quality looks just as good. Nice point is it has a LCD rear panel. Not managed to find a decent user manual yet, I don't think one exists. You also have an option to flip the video for an upside down mount. There is a lot of talk if this supports video out. Well it does. It a complete copy of the SJ4000. It also has the latest SJ4000 firmware installed which is N201405270ZV01 and it's this version that supports video out via the USB socket just like the gopro. Here is an extract from foxoffer web site USB to AV Out Cable for SJ4000 Action Camera. Please notice only the latest SJ4000 camera can support AV out, the latest SJ4000 use new firmware and PCB board. If you camera ordered after May and have the N201405270ZV01 firmware, it should be no problem to use AV out feature with this cable. If you buy this cable with SJ4000 camera from foxoffer, we will test it before shipping, ensure you will get the right SJ4000 version. At $99 this is a steal when I paid for and lost my £300 gopro. Cheers John

If I hear more about this camera I will be sure and let everyone know about it!
