Amazon knows me. I’ve got a new tarp but more importantly I have bought a new camera. I’ve never bought a camera priced over $200 Canadian and I’m always looking for a sale. I’ve been running an Akaso Brave 7LE for three years and I am quite happy with it. Two years ago I added an XTU S3 and an XTU Max Pro. The 7LE does not take an external microphone, the XTUs do. Amazon kept putting the Wolfang GA420 as a suggestion in my feed and I was intrigued that it looked just like the Akaso 7’s and the XTUs so when it came up at a fantastic price I thought I would try it. It’s looking good. It’s batteries fit the XTU and the 7LE. I’m not saying it’s the best camera on the market but it looks like a good bang for the buck!

That's a good deal on that camera. With a few mods you should have the batteries all fitting well. Well done Jim.

Just saw you on Bryan and Holly channel so I had to drop by for a visit and I like what I'm seeing so you have a new subscriber. Great review on the camera, I like your philosophy on buying a cheaper camera that still has all the functions and work just like the more expensive because it will hurt less when you break or lose it .... I'm on my third one lol, and I didn't learn that until now lol.

@tuckerandi 6 месяцев назад

Looking forward to checking more of your videos

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

Lots of travel, camping and motorcycling. It was great to visit with Bryan and Holly. I don't need broadcast standard and I don't shoot higher than a 1080 resolution so I find anything in the $200 Cdn. range meets all my needs. I have abused my cameras in rain, snow and falls... they keep working. A couple are not as water resistant as they used to be lol.

@codraven57 6 месяцев назад

Just like xmas when the Amazon box shows up Jim. I retired from the cheapy cameras and paid too much for a GP9 and so far it has been flawless. I must say you have great luck with those cheapy camera though. That's awesome! You do a lot of voice over which is great for these cameras that don't have great mic performace. You are right, the audio on this one is not the greatest. These cameras are great for your travel vlog style of videos.

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

I was too far away in a very noisy room. All camcoders and even my DSLR have some trouble with audio pickup unless you are upping your external mic game. Will be trying a few tricks in the next little while. I'm quite pleased with the video performance overall though. Much more testing to come.

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

My whole 106 day series was shot on my Akaso 7LE and the XTU S3. The XTU was my helmet cam. This camera is feeling like it will be as good as those 2. I've only done some indoor shots so far. Will do more tests this weekend. It's no new DJI or GoPro but at 1/4 the price it is a damn goo cameera. So tempted to get a 2nd. @@johnclark812

They went on for 120 CAD! It's supposed to be delivered today. Just checked and they're back to 190 (but there's a 50 dollar coupon so 140). Thanks for the video!

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

@OldGuyonaBike 2 месяца назад

@@donsmith2833 I have to admit that I have been far busier than I expected. I am quite impressed with Wolfang 420. I have done a number of rides with it as my helmet cam and very pleased with the video and audio. I am going to use one as my main helmet cam this summer. Very good bang for the buck. You have now reminded me that I have to do an actual review.

@johnrichardcleland4493 6 месяцев назад

As a novice and following your channel, You've got me almost convince to order 2 of these cameras along with 2 of the charging packages that you mentioned. I'm just a little confused on the SD cards they say they support up to 64g but you inserted a 128g, so will the 128g work???

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

The manual stated up to 64 gig but the newest info now says 128. No problem with the 128 so I guess they upgraded the software before reprinting the manuals. Pleased enough with the camera to have ordered a spare at the sale price. More testing videos coming up in the next week or so.

Please tell me how to get back to shooting view after wifi connecting. When I press power button after wifi connecting I lose the wifi

@OldGuyonaBike 5 месяцев назад

It seems that when you have the wifi on, you need to use your phone to view what the lense sees and control it for turning it on and off, take stillls etc.. You can change settings from your phone as well. The camera keeps that wifi connect screen displayed and yes, mine would only change by using the power button to shut the camera off.

Lead in wearing shorts... thought you'd be showing the snow fall and crappy weather! The finger looks good,or is this pre-surgery?

@OldGuyonaBike 6 месяцев назад

That was just last week, so the finger is coming along quite well. My father, making a sound home movie, sat at our picnic table that was covered in 4" of snow... reading a newspaper... turned to the camera and said, "it's mid February - time to go south" while wearing only a bathing suit. I can be tempted to do strange things.
