Cheap Camcorder from Amazon, Review and Test 

thats exactly what i am looking for lmao

😆😆😆 me thinking this is perfect

Yeah i want that old vhs look

This is the comment I was looking for lmao sold.

Hostage ransom footage comes to mind

This comment is gold

Outlast vibes kicking in !!

👍🏽

i bought one of these cameras used it twice and it just stopped working for no reason. i didn't drop it or anything. Definity not worth the money even though they are super cheap

@Sandra Woodruff mines is long dead i gave up and bought a vivitech 4k action camera for $40 usd off of walmart. Works great socfar

The one i have is a CofunKool Video Camera Camcorder 1080P 30FPS

I'm glad yours is working well for you. I assure you I tried all the settings and I had it set to 1080p resolution.

I'm so glad you posted this I just bought one today is this only for a video recording or can you take pictures with this as well?

PrettyLittle Pam let us know how it works! I’m looking for one myself

Are you a salesman ?

The main camera I use for RU-vid is a Sony AX700. Had it for a while now and it is great. I use PowerDirector for editing my videos. It definitely has its limitations, but it is fairly easy, and I’m used to it. I consider trying something else once in a while, but PowerDirector works okay for the simple stuff I do.

right people are saying it's a sucky camera when they haven't even bought it or even tried to do anything. He was just showing the Raw footage when u first get it. People are acting like there aren't any features that can fix those things.

@@indigotv56 how do you fix them? I’ve seen many comments saying it’s bad, but saw th reviews on Amazon and bought it anyways, it’s coming on Monday, so I just want to know how I can fix those things, before I get it

@@LilPaconot When the camera comes the instruction manual doesn't really have many details. The camera setup may be confusing but you have to kinda get used to using the setting area inside of the camera opening. When you open the camera click menu and then you'll see a whole bunch of settings. Some of the settings are unnecessary unless you need them. The camera is actually not bad the picture is good but sometimes the video quality can be sucky sometimes. Also, the camera may change color because of the natural lighting. Make sure you stay in a well-light area (very bright). Hope this helps! I tried my best to explain lol. :)

Granted, they would likely have seemed pretty great 30 years ago, but these days there is just SO much better everywhere.

may I ask which model u have specifically?

@@opinionation571 I picked up an old 2007 Sony HDR-CX7. She's an old cam but the IR night vision is pretty awesome and is the one thing no phone cam has, making it still worth buying dispite how outdated it is. The built in microphone is pretty nice also. There are definitely better Sony models to choose from but this one suits me fine for recording things in the dark that go bump in the night.

hiii what camera was it ? :)

Does this one have a record limit? And if so can you by pass it

Of course it would to you you have shit covering your eyes cut the guy a break.

Omegelfilebusters Tv bruhhhhh. The channel owner even says the quality is laughable...

@@dezznutsinurmouth7548 I believe he was referring to the camera that the guy said was laughable in quality.

@Pixel yeah , luckily i was able to get a refund

u get what u pay for

Yea it’s more aesthetically pleasing

@@bennyagainsttheworld3123 PERIOD.

then get a vx1000 and not a hd Camcorder

Y'all are gonna have to make them start making video tapes again if you actually want to go back to the 90s. These are early 2010s at best, even the 2000s still had tapes and DVD started being used too.

I agree that’s exactly what I’m looking for tbh

If your looking for that vintage VHS look than just pick up a standard definition camcorder, they're not only going to be way cheaper but they're going to give you a way better effect and look

@@mrrobert1301 "Way cheaper"? These are regularly available for $70 with free shipping on Amazon.

Aside from low resolution, this has no similarities with VHS. If you want low quality video, just buy a $20-$30 video camera in a different form factor. It will look the same as this.

There may be an optional external charger, but I don't know of one. As it comes the only way to charge the batteries is in the camera via USB.

Do you know how to upload the videos onto your phone. I thought you would know since you just got yours.

@@blaisezabini8094 I Know nothing about Smart Phones, Except if You want Wide Screen Quality Turn it Horizontal. I Only know that because of a Picture on a Birthday Card. I got a Camcorder For Christmas. Now Laptop Webcams I just Record Myself, and When I'm done, I go to Studio and Upload what I Shot.

Yea man I agree . I have a Sony 6400 it’s amazing!

I started with PowerDirector. I thought it was pretty easy to use. I'm sure there are others out there, but that's the one I started with. I've tested out several generic cameras like this and some of them have problems with the memory card being read properly in the computer and I've even had some that create odd file formats that won't read properly in some programs. So it's possible you are running into an issue like that, but PowerDirector was pretty good about recognizing just about any file type.

what ur price range

I bought one of these as I am just started RU-vid as well. I am 67 with no tech experience and my video came out okay for me. Cheap price was my draw. My first video didn't have sound but that was my fault by not pushing the mike cable in far enough. Click on me David Cobb and view my video.

What do you mean by that

Does it come with a remote, tripod and microphone?

Is it worth it?

I feel ghosted

Mackaylia Mctaggart no

Also still looking to keep the budget under control.

What is your budget? Are you in the US?

Yes, in the US. Budget is $100-$150 for now. Biggest need is audio, but video would be helpful.

You could get a perfectly good audio recorder for that price, but a decent video camera for that price will be a little more difficult. If you want, send me an email at bigtbcontact@gmail.com and I'll see if I can help you out.

Excellent, thank you!

Are you having trouble physically mounting the camera to the shoe mount? There should be a knurled ring on the microphone mount that will unscrew to allow the mount on the microphone to slide into the shoe mount. Once in place, the ring can be screwed back down to tighten against the shoe mount to hold the mic in place. If you are having trouble in another way let me know and I'll try to help.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. The focus is permanently fixed and the minimum focus distance is close to 3 feet. Zoom is purely digital, so any softness due to being too close will only get worse when you zoom in.

I would guess they would be very similar. The Kmashi looks to be pretty much the same, with mostly small differences. For Victure I can mostly see action cameras, security cameras and trail cameras.

It uses a standard size SD card, there is no memory built into the camera itself. This particular model doesn't have filter threads as far as I can remember. But on any camera with filter threads can have filters attached which can tint/darken the image or add colors, etc.

Here is a video I recently did where I showed some options that are decent. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9C9X1MYPqM.html

What is your budget? Here is a link to a comparison I did with multiple cameras. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9C9X1MYPqM.html Are you in the United States?

I think it came with the card, but I don't remember for sure. On many of these cameras I have much better luck and reliability using a 32GB or lower card. Some of these cheap camcorders don't work well with 64GB and up cards.

I hope it works for you. Happy new year!

@@bigtb1717 thanks.! Happy New Years.! 🙏🏾

Lmfaooo🤣

Haha True 😂

This particular camera was around $80. Last I checked it was no longer available.

I probably should have showed other white balance settings, but I left it in auto for the video. I did try other settings. Strangely, the "daylight" settings gave much warmer color in my booth, with the "cloudy" setting probably being the most accurate. Both gave warmer colors than what I showed, but the daylight setting in particular was way too warm making my skin a bright, reddish orange. The cloudy setting was probably the most accurate, but my hands still looked like I had an overdone spray tan, lol. Overall, none of the settings give particularly accurate color in my sound booth.

@@bigtb1717 An overdone spray tan, huh. Should we call you Ross Geller or Stuart Bloom? 😁

It doesn't have great quality, but if you can make it work for you, then that's what matters.

Yes, it does. It has standard 1/4-20 tripod mounting threads.

Unfortunately I can't imagine any particular settings making any real difference. There are barely any settings to begin with. In terms of other camcorders, the Canon HF R800 seems like a good value. I'll be reviewing one as soon as I get a chance. You don't have to answer, but just curious what you will be doing on your channel. Either way, good luck.

I have a memory card reader for my computer. I remove the memory card from the computer and copy the files to my computer with the memory card reader.

I have a review of an Ordro 4K camera, if you are interested. Not a 4K version of this exact camera, but it's a similar type of generic brand camcorder.

It depends on what type of videos you will be making. If you want to record things closer than 3 feet or so from the camera, nothing will be in focus due to the fixed focus with a minimum distance of 3 feet or so. It also has no image stabilization and the digital zoom is pretty terrible. Also, depending on which exact model you got, some of them 15fps, not 30, which can give a bit of a stop-motion look to the footage. Many of these types of cameras also have major audio limitations of one kind or another. But those limitations aside, it will technically record video, so if that's what you have, give it a shot and see what you can get done with it. If it doesn't work for you, try to get a refund and save up for something a little better. Good luck with whatever you end up with.

@@bigtb1717 Thanks!

For 80 dollars, you can get a used Sony handycam or a Vixia HF R600/700

Sure. You can record audio with an H1n and sync it after the fact. That is how I record most of my audio. I record it separately and sync it with the video later.

What settings did you use, exactly? If you are happy with the camera that's great. I agree that the camera works, I just think that the quality is poor, the advertising around it is often misleading, and the value isn't very good. I also wouldn't recommend spending more to upgrade the microphone, as the camera itself hampers the audio quality to the point that an upgraded mic won't help very much.

Yes I did. I had it set at full HD, 1080P. This particular camera didn't have 120FPS or 60 FPS. It only had 30FPS in full HD. There are different versions of this camera. You may have a different one.
