We will learn everything about their components, advantages and disadvantages, work opportunities and other technical characteristics. We will also find out customer reviews and recommendations. Let's start with action cameras, which are the market leaders in sales. There are three of them. Let's start a conversation with X-TRY XTC220 ULTRAHD.

Action camera X-TRY XTC220 ULTRAHD

Let's talk right away about the technical characteristics, since this is an important aspect for comparison with subsequent cameras.

Equipment

The X-TRY XTC220 ULTRAHD action camera has a pretty solid package compared to other similar types of cameras. What it includes:

• box to shoot underwater at depth;
• remote control;
• base;
• the back cover is waterproof;
• connectors of different sizes;
• USB cable;

Everything is packed in a small transparent plastic box through which the camera is fully visible. It is located directly in the underwater shooting box and next to the remote control. The lower compartment contains the rest of the equipment.

External components

In appearance, this model of action camera resembles the X-TRY XTC250 PRO. Distinctive details are markings, otherwise they are completely the same. The front panel houses a small display with an on / off button located below it.

The similarity of the case with the previous model allows you to use the same devices.This will help in the future to save money on purchases and secure the use of the camera. You can submerge the camera to a depth of 30 m.

Control

There are three buttons on the camera, by pressing any of which you select a specific mode. In contrast to the older model, delays are noticeable. At first, you can notice slowdowns, but then you get used to it. The problem is translation. It is so large that you have to think over some menu items what the developer meant by this.

Using

All instructions for use are attached in printed form in Russian and English. During the initial setup, you must select Russian.

After setting up, try to figure out all kinds of mounts.

Also, the camera can be used as a video recorder. To do this, select loop shooting in the settings. The mode meets all the necessary requirements of a conventional DVR.

• box for shooting underwater;
• large selection of functionality;
• excellent video / photo recording quality;

• maximum viewing angle of 170 °;
• low cost of the camera, which starts from 3.5 to.

• no stabilizer;
• poorly translated menu;
• sometimes buggy;
• small battery capacity.

Customer Reviews

In general, buyers are satisfied with a budget camera for shooting not only in different weather conditions, but also underwater. The biggest drawback is the poorly translated menu into Russian.

Action camera X-TRY XTC150 ULTRAHD

Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this action camera does not indicate either the type of processor or the quality of the sensor, the only thing that is known is the resolution of 12 megapixels. This is just enough for shooting 4K video. The external camera is very similar to the newer models.

Specifications

When choosing this action camera, you need to pay attention to the exact specifications.

Equipment

The package contents of the 150 model are not as diverse as those of the previous reviewed product of the company X-TRY, but it is still worth a look. Components:

• diving to a depth of 30 m in a waterproof box;
• battery up to 1050 mA;
• fasteners;
• tripod screw adapters;
• USB cable;
• a printed manual in one language (Russian);
• guarantee coupon.

The kit is fully packed in a rectangular cardboard box with a plastic window through which the camera is visible. It is pre-installed in the diving case.

The kit also includes a stand, holder, charging cable and instructions. Therefore, the kit cannot be called large.

Appearance

The appearance for most of the criteria is similar to the X-TRY XTC220. Especially when you look at the shape and size. But this model does not have a screen on the front side that displays information. Instead, there are two indicators on the panel, one of which is responsible for the battery level, and the second for the operation of the camera. On the front side there is a 12 megapixel camera and an on / off button.

The body, similar to other models, allows you to use the same devices when working with the camera.In the future, when changing the camera, this will save on equipment and improve performance without extra costs.

On the right is the button to enable the Wi-Fi function. It can also be used while navigating through the menus. And on the left are connectors for cables of different sizes, near which there is a microphone and a slot for inserting a memory card. There is a microphone on top and a battery on the bottom.

Control

The control principle is exactly the same as for other cameras from the manufacturer. There may be slight delays in selecting functions and scrolling through menus, but over time you can get used to them as they are not significant. There are problems with the translation of the menu into Russian, exactly the same as with the X-TRY XTC220 camera. And users ask only one question: "Why the manufacturer has not solved this problem, although there have been many complaints about this?" There is another problem in the form of a different design of the three cameras, the manufacturer did not think about this either. It would be easier in this case to bring everything into a single form. Perhaps the problems will be fixed to a new firmware version.

Using

All instructions for use are attached in printed form in Russian and English. During the initial setup, you must select Russian.

Suitable for use as a video recorder. Meets all his requirements. To start shooting in the DVR mode, just switch the normal recording to loop recording in the settings.

On the left and right there are connectors for wires, each of which is signed, there is also a slot for a memory card, it should be made separately from the connectors.
