Has anyone got one of these go faux waterproof cameras I’m thinking of getting one but would like some honest feedback first

not come across that brand before so cant really comment.

but i can vouch for SJCAM SJ4000 cameras. i own several and use them regularly. they are as good as the equivalent gopro model (search youtube for "sj4000 vs gopro" for comparison videos)

amazon/SJCAM-Water...ec60d83a5d7d00

or their M20 if you need a 4k camera

amazon/SJCAM-Under...87c9eb92ed48dc

they also do an sj5000 ultra model, which is the same form factor as the sj4000/standard gopro... cant vouch for it personally though, but based on their other kit, i'd say it would be just fine too

I have an Akaso. Bought it specifically for the water parks.

Its brilliant. I would advise buying a charger and a couple of spare batteries, but these are only about a tenner.

If there was a negative, I would say that the sound quality when in the waterproof case. The case blocks the noise to the mic and its very quiet. But, I think this is more caused by the cases as opposed to the camera itself, though Id be interested to hear Waynes thoughts on the sound quality of the SJCam when in its case?

yeah, pretty much all action cameras have these issues inside the waterproof housing. the newer cameras are fully waterproof so dont need the extra case, so don't really have this issue, but its never really been an issue for me...

Thank you Wayne, I thought that might be the case (No pun intended!)
