As you may know I have been testing a few of the popular cost efficient Chinese action cameras.
Already looked at the EKEN H8R, and EKEN H9 action cameras.
I’m loving these cameras for crash-cams, where I’m not going to put a GoPro or higher priced camera where I expect it to not survive.
The latest test is another one of these sports cameras from a Chinese company called Elephone. Their EleCam Explorer Elite camera has the Novatek 96660 chipset in it. Same chipset as the GitUp Git2, FIREFLY 6S 4K, and SJcam SJ4000+, and SJ8000 WiFi 4K cameras.
As always I needed to test the camera in mixed lighting conditions, but I wanted to see more if the camera could pull off a half decent 120fps slow-motion shot.
The EleCam Explorer Elite 4K was rigged up four ways: hand held by itself, on a helmet sticky, on a $1.46 super versatile action camera clip grabbed from eBay, and also on my favourite handheld rig right now, the Zheyun-Tech Z1 Evolution gimbal.
The original footage shot is recorded at 720p 120fps then edited and conformed to 1080p 30fps for YouTube uploading.
Now I liked this camera the best out of the three Chinese action cameras that I have played with.
I expected to see a lot of jello and interference from the camera mounted to the skate deck, and I popped it on a few places. So in the end I’m happy with what it recorded. As too are the lens flares I saw spilling on to the frame. The slo-mo came up nice as well, and I’m happy with this camera.
