This seamed like a good value alternative to the higher priced alternatives on the market. It is compact, takes very good videos and comes with a very comprehensive selection of accessories. After only a few months of use the micro USB connection snapped off rendering the camera totally useless as it could not be charged up or connected to anything. I tried taking it apart and re-soldering but it was just too fiddly. ended up throwing the wole thing away. I bought it from a long-gone private seller on eBay so no hope of getting it replaced. Searching on Google revealed that this is a common problem with this camera, and many users have suffered build quality issues. I would not recommend buying this product. Pay slightly more for a GoPro from a reputable UK retailer.
