The Problem With Cheap Action Cameras | TecBean 4K Action Camera Review

Key Takeaways

what's going on guys I just picked up this cheap $40 action camera off of amazon.com and I thought I would just do a quick review of it to show you this product and talk about some action cameras cheap action cameras and whether or not they might be worth it for you as an alternative instead of buying a GoPro which could be upwards of four or five hundred dollars this action camera was only $39.99 on amazon.com there's lots of sort of GoPro ripoffs if you would out there on the Internet you can buy them on Alibaba eBay Amazon and so I picked this one up on Amazon and apparently it shoots 4k video which is what got my attention because shooting 4k video is extremely rare for something that's less than fifty dollars I mean this was $39 so it kind of seems too good to be true and so I wanted to go ahead and check it out and give a review of this product so this is the tech bean HD action camera and as soon as I got this package I did notice that the first thing was this waterproof case is very scratched up already you probably can't see it from here but the front part of this is very scratched up it looks like it's almost used probably and then as well I'm probably not going to even use this waterproof case because after reading a lot of the reviews of this action camera it turns out that a lot of these waterproof cases don't even work for these these cheap action cameras they just leak and there goes your your camera but you can turn on this camera and like I said it apparently shoots 4k video but that's a little bit kind of hard to like get on on a camera like this and so I went ahead and I I tried to insert a micro SD card into this because that's what it takes and the actual slot for the micro sd card is broken it does not work and so I will actually be returning this camera and so that's basically my review here I'm gonna tell you straight up buying these cheap action cameras it seems too good to be true to have a 4k video camera for 39.99 and that's because for the most part it is too good to be true if you want to really get a great action camera I suggest going with the GoPro or going with maybe like a Yi camera but getting these cheap action cameras this is the second one that I've picked up and the first one had problems as well I had problems with the screen but you know I would stay away from these you can try getting one but you might as well just buy like five and then maybe one of them will actually work but even if it does work it's probably not gonna last very long and the video quality well I can't even test out the video quality because the camera is broken but just by looking at it it it really does not look that amazing and it and I would not expect it to be that amazing for a price of $39 but with that being said this camera does come with a lot of accessories I'll just kind of sort of dump these out here it comes with all kinds of stuff it's it's too bad I will be returning this but I don't think I'm gonna be picking up another one I think I'm just gonna go with a GoPro camera which I have had a GoPro in the past and have never had any issues with it had it for years so that's what I'm gonna be going with and thanks for watching guys I know this was a quick short video but hopefully you think about whether or not you are willing to pay that extra money for a GoPro to get much better quality much better customer service and it overall just better experience using an action camera because the worst thing in the world is when you do something really cool with an action camera maybe it's jumping off of off of a cliff doing BASE jumping or maybe or skydiving or or you're skiing or something and then you finish and you're like wow I'm gonna watch this video it's gonna be great and turns out that you're a cheap little camera that you cheaped out on broke or wasn't working when you were trying to film and you didn't film the most exciting part of your life doing some really crazy awesome things so that's why I think it's important to have a reliable camera instead of something like this one thanks so much for watching and I'll see you next time guys don't forget to subscribe for more videos and give this video a thumbs up if you thought this video was helpful I'm just trying to help you guys out so thanks so much bye
