WOLFANG GA420 Action Camera Review 

The wolfang ga420 is awesome, I think I know why the audio was at a low level, wind reduction was on

I bought this camera in large part because of your review, and I must say, thus far I'm very impressed by its performance. Based on the cheap price, I was expecting a subpar build quality with decent video capabilities. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the camera is really beefy and well-built with a good weight to it. Definitely feels premium in the hands. Performance - especially for the cost - is above average. While it obviously isn't GoPro quality, nor was I expecting that, it DOES come pretty close...at about a quarter of the price. This great little camera is perfect for anyone looking to record video. With some practice, one can get REALLY good footage out of this thing. Tip: It's not about the gear, but what you can do with it. Pluses: dual screen, touchscreen, external mic support (included in the box), waterproof, above average image stabilization, can shoot 4k (even though it's interpolated), comes with two batteries, a lens cover, and more accessories than you'll probably ever need. Minuses: there aren't any, IMO. Though, I will say that the low light performance on most of these action cams is pretty awful, so don't expect a lot in that department. MOST action cams are terrible in this regard. This Wolfang camera will surpass the expectations of 99% of people. Of course, if you're in the 1% that requires super high-end visuals for pro level type of work, this obviously isn't going to cut it. But for most average folks, the footage you'll get with this camera will be extremely good. Thank you for your reviews. You are very talented and have a great camera presence. I enjoy your slow-paced, detailed approach when it comes to the presentations, in addition to the lack of fluff...you jump right into the action from the start. Ladies & gentlemen, this camera is a STEAL at its price! A rare gem of a cheaper product that far outperforms its cost.

You do a GREAT review of these cameras, I really appreciate it!

I really love your reviews, I am very impressed with your youtube channel! :) I just ordered the camera and I am sure I will love it thanks to your great review!!!

Wat een geweldige review! zo duidelijk uitgelegd. Bedankt .

Thank you for your helpful review! I was looking for a camera for my trip to Okinawa this week and for me (a student on limited budget) this camera seems perfect. I don't know anything about cameras but your video helped me a lot!

This review is very well made. Thank you. This information helped me a lot.

Excellent, detailed review. Great work.

excellent video. Gave us the info we needed .

Wohoo at last a proper unbiased concise review of this camera, to the point, informative and extremely useful and helpful, thank you. Our old GA100 is fine but without a front screen its hit and miss for where I'm pointing lol. Its going to be ordered for sure

Thank you! I’m looking forward to purchasing an action camera for shooting similar videos that are on your channel. Thank you for showcasing the potential of these different cameras. New sub here👍

Thank you! for what I'm doing this will work nicely! The external microphone quality was the clincher! thanks man!!!

Thanks for the review which budget comers you recommend dear

Well done,good job! Excellent review!!! Two thumbs up!!!

Very good and detailed review, thank you👌👍I just bought one for the holiday etc. Will use it for additional footage next to my drone. Liked & Subscribed. Greetings from 🇳🇱

Hello. Thanks for the review...really helpful. I've just bought this Camera and took it out last night to have a go at recording video. When playing back through the Camera, I couldn't hear any sound. Are you able to hear back what you have filmed? Also, when using the front screen when filming, it kept going blank. Is there any way of keeping the screen permanently on when filming? Hope you can help. Thanks.

Perfect review! Thanks a lot... 👍

Thank you!

Great review, thank you!

Beautiful video. I have not seen any better from more expensive cameras. I think I will try this camera. Thank you. I did hit the subscribe button and the like button.

At last! This is what a REVIEW video should look like. Top Marks!!!!!!!!! Camera ordered . . .

Top notch video! Well done.

Excellent review. Thank you. I bought one

Good job of presentation 😊 A hello from France 👍🏻

Hi. I have the Wolfang GA300 and I would like to buy a gimbal to have more stability in the videos. What cheap gimbal do you recommend? Thanks

Best review I've seen so far!! Just ordered it 🙂

I might have missed it, but I would like to know if it's possible to switch between picture and video mode while diving and using the underwaterhouse.

Hello, I know this video’s a year old but I have one question in relation to battery life. Comparing the GA100 that my friend recently brought to the GA420 that I’m looking to purchase in the near future. How is the battery compared between the two cameras? Does the GA420 have a longer battery life than the GA100 or do they both have the same one battery usage? Thank you.

Very useful review thanks - I’ll be buying 420 in a few weeks. Has anyone used this camera to record running? If so, any advice re a decent chest harness?

Brilliant mate. Great review. Can you upload your vids and pics to Facebook once they are on your phone or do you have to upload to PC? Many thanks.

Great review, one question, what range do you get on the remote and mobile control? Thanks

What is the best helmet attachment

This may actually replace my secondary camera, my old buddy GoPro Hero HD 2 (yes, two). It may even be better than my primary, a Sony HDR AS30V. Of course it's not as good as the top models from DJI and Insta360, but at least I get an upgrade alot cheaper. If I'm happy, I replace the Sony as well. The editing came to a halt due to the challenge I face with adding the telemetry (mainly speed) which is useful in upcoming clip.

nice review ! I have also seen you review of the XTU S3 ( pro ) which one is the best ? I have a Surfola SF530/ Wolfang GA 200 ?

Thank you for an Excellent review: my question is the EIS is it like gopro and dji. Really enjoyed the video, the quality is awesome. great job hope all can appreciate from this video. 14:15 answered my question thank you

Would you recommend this one over the izeeker ia800? Or what action cam for $150 or less would you recommend?Sound is not really an issue for me, though good sound is always a bonus. I am mostly using for scuba diving videos and still pictures. Currently have an apeman trawo (a100) and love it but the waterproof case broke and they don't sell just a waterproof case for it and manufacturer won't send me one.

Hi, thank you very much for the great review! Is it possible to use the camera while charging for long time-lapse videos?

I'm going buy this I am from Malaysia, order it from Amazon I will do unboxing and testing soon thanks for the update

Question about the distortion correction: is there any case where leaving it distorted (so disabled) is better? Or is it always best to just habe it enabled to correct this distortion?

I'm curious to know.... What size is the USB plug on the external microphone? Is it USB C or MicroUSB? I have a wireless microphone with a USB C receiver and am trying to find out if it will work with the GA420. I can't find any clear images online, and the documentation in amazon listings doesn't clearly say.

Great job. All reviews should be done this way. Just one more thing. How is the low light performance?

How do you activate voice record? I can't find any information on the manual. Does this function allow you to start/stop video recording with a voice command? If so, do you know what that command is?

Can anyone answer .....how long would the battery last on 1080p at 120FPS ?

Hi, you say it takes stills up to 20MP but the advertising on Amazon UK says it's 24MP, please advise.

Great review going to purchase this. What sd card do you recommend

Great review, is it possible to seperate internal/external mic. Only use external, and shut down internal mic per-erik johansson

Please the remote control works from the box or you need to do some settings change? Whats the communication with the remote, Bluetooth or wifi? Is there anything written on the remote? Like serial number or so. Im asking because I got it without the remote, need to buy it separately and Im wondering if any kind 2.4ghz remote will work. Thanks for the info.

How long is the battery life? How rugged is it? Would it survive a couple of drops and some direct hits from football and stray bunker and pitch shots around a green in golf?

Thanks for the review 👍 A used Gopro Hero 7 is in the same price range as this, should I consider buy that or have the benefits of returning the Wolfang incase either one of them stops working after 6 months?!

Thanks for all this information. I'm sorry if you answered this and I missed it, but I do have a question: does it use the same batteries as the ga300? As in, are they interchangeable? Not sure if I'll upgrade any time soon, I'm on a tight budget here, it's for sharing my off grid move into the mountains with my dogs, for friends and family to get occasional updates. I definitely won't make the money back, so I must really consider my expenses, and most of my money is for much higher priorities. I got the ga300 for it's low price as a real luxury item and a test, and I'm quite satisfied, I did not expect to have so much fun with it, hence why I'm considering MAYBE upgrading, especially if this ga300 model would eventually wear out.

I can't get Bluetooth because of some kave error with smart dv2!!!! I use pixel 7 phone.

Hi. Great video, very informative. I actually bought the camera after looking at the couple of reviews on here. I have a question. Mine doesn't have EIS. It has everything else. Have you any idea why not? I'm surprised with this.

How easy was it to upload the film and photos to your computer for editing? Is it a simple plug and load or do you need other software for it? Is it an easy transfer process? Thanks.

I really like your reviews, thanks. Can you tell me, is it possible to run EIS and distortion correction together, and is there any option for a narrower field of view than 170°? Thanks in advance.

Can you record while charging ? if you have the microphone connecting to the camera ,camera out side the car driving ,and the microphone cable inside the car will not record wind noise is that correct? thanks

Can you use any external microphone on this camera. Thanks

hi for the same price i can buy akaso v50pro , or brave 4pro , or wolfang ga420 which one you recomend ?

Good review my friend 👍👍

Where is the "distortion correction" please? I can't find it in the menu. Great review, that's why I bought it. 👍

İs there a gps integrated ? İf you take a photo, is the location info also saved in the photo ?

You know you have a real talent for this. You make it look easy. It aint

I have a question I bought the camera 1 week ago and tested it. But I saw some diffrences between the shown features. First of all in the settings: everithng is yellow that is red in your video. Second When you watch on the normal screen on the right site there is no 4k and a hand. If you dont know what I mean 7.41 in your video. I ordered my Kamera from Amazon and I dont got the remote control in my box. I also made sure I ordered the ga420 and not another camera. Is that a new version of the ga420? And a very good review. LG Niklas

What app do you connect to your phone with? Tia.

May I ask, there’s a little static noise play in the background 11:39

Thank you but I wish you tested it in night mode / low light

How long does the battery last on constant record ! I want to leave it in a tunnel and see what crawls through .?

Es la mejor reseña que evysto lo felysito 👍👍👏👏✌️

Which memory card should I choose for my camera? The manufacturer does not provide much information about this on the website...

thank for review , icon menu & osd lookalike iCatch V35AX series , quality is same all of family of iCatchTek chipset V35/V37/V39 A/AX sereis

question does it film in secions off 10 minutes our does it film continues for as long you intend too??? I'm looking for one hue does continue Filming for RU-vid content

I bought the Wolfgang 420, and I am having a problem With it already . First , it does not connect well to the internet which makes is very hard to rely on downloading the content . 2- I tried to record on a sunny area the picture is blur and very bright which does not make the recording well at all it’s like it has a film over it ( yes I removed the plastic cover ) . Still the recording is not nice and crisp , it does not have a good light as justement in the sun . You have to be in the shade and film the content in the shade if you turn it to a sunny area the cam can not cope with the brightness. 3- it does not also cope very well with dark area or lack of light , I filmed it with 4K 30fs. Any advise on how to compensate this lighting problem ? Thank you

Hi which sd card did you put in? The one is bought isn't compatible apparently

I have just bought one of these and find that the only way i get it to turn on is when i plug in the power supply, once it is in, I can take the power lead out and it stays on, so I know the battery has been charged enough. I think I am going to return it

does it have dashcam function

Does it have motion detect

Bought this one on november 21 at a 100 euros, for Christmas. I used it on july, the second time snorkeling water spill in and camera dies. Not feel good at all.

I have the Wolfang GA420 too. Got it last year on January. I did paid below 100 Euro back then. I think for the price the camera is decent. Sadly it's fake 4k 60fps. Maybe Wolfang did update the newer models. But on mine the 4k/60 looks really really bad. But 4k 30pfs and 2.7k looking pretty good. Special compared for the price. A nice first action camera for example for your kids or so. Compared with the footage of an Action 2 for example the video footage of the Wolfang GA420 really don't look good anymore. But after youtube compression and without any side by side footage to compare, i think the cam is good

Battery duration?

HD review for 4k camera? OMG!

I just bought this camera and i dont seem to have distortion calibration. At least i cant fin it.

Same camera as the Akaso Brave 7 LE except this is 4k60 where the Akaso is 4k 30,looks like the same company makes them for others

Hello how much

Добрейшего здравичка. Спасибо за обзор . Купил эту камеру, специально для дайвинга ( если бы затопило, чтоб не было жалко больших денег). Реально неплохо, правда на глубине, гле освещение похуже - слабовато. А в целом очень не плохо. Кому интересно можете зайти в гости посмотреть эти видео.

Internal microphone is crap catching wind even with noise reduction on. Camera is pretty good. Problem with battery after 18 months use battery lost more than 50% of capacity.😟

It’s not really a 4K 60fps, you can tell , I don’t know why they advertise something that is not on the camera

Thanks. You do excellent reviews. I Am subscribed. Blessings, and Respect.......Joshua Seven Thunders///////

This is video quality not good

Seriously dude? You do a review on a 4 k 60p camera and upload in 1080 30P? Can't you think of a slower way to destroy your credibility?

I’m not rich to buy a cheap stuff !
