Topic: GoPro knock off for $40.00

Hi All,

Just wondering if anybody has ever used the Pyle Action Camera.  Woot is having a deal, so it might be OK to pick up as a spare.

Re: GoPro knock off for $40.00

I have one that looks eerily similar in price and construction, emerson made mine, video quality was great, audio seemed to self adjust unacceptably low, battery life is just over a hour and it will not record while plugged in to charge.

Your results will undoubtedly vary but the lesson was I got what I payed for.

Re: GoPro knock off for $40.00

well...I got one ordered before it sold out.  We'll see.  Figure it will fit the whole Marina theme...unfortunately, they didn't have it in purple.

Re: GoPro knock off for $40.00

I did a little more digging, and the Pyle Action cam is actually a re-branded Emerson.  I found it at Amazon:

I have one they sell them at big lots , not bad for what it is battery life of about and hour . It will not charge if plugged in so you have to have 2 or 3 to last a day swapping out . I am doing a set up with an iPod with camera using track addict . Has speed , location and lap counter built in . Check out fairlylame on face book I put I short test clip on there

Re: GoPro knock off for $40.00

For anyone wanting a emerson unit I bought 2 and never opened the second one, I would gladly sell it to someone interested, it does not suit my needs.

As for the first one I plan on putting it in more and more dangerous places till it gets crushed ,suspension cam, front air-dam cam, endless possibilities when the equipment is so cheap!
