Chinese knock-off "GoPro" - SOLD

$95 USD plus shipping

I'm selling a Chinese "GoPro" knock-off. I was given this camera as a gift at a recent corporate function. It is fully functional and for all practical purposes new. It is similar in style, function, and size as a genuine GoPro and is fully compatible with all GoPro accessories.

Here are the specs:

Video:
1080P 30 fps
720p 60 fps

Photo:
12mp 4000 x 3000
8mp 3264 x 2448
5mp 2560 x 1920
2mp 1920 x 1080

Memory Card:
2 GB micro SD (you'll want to get a bigger one)

Battery:
3.7V lithium ion

I am not trying to pretend this is a GoPro and I'm not asking a GoPro price. This is an acceptable camera at a very reasonable cost. It would make a good first camera for somebody on a tight budget or a decent additional camera for somebody looking for more angles for video composition. Please look here for a video i shot with it at 720p 60 fps:



The camera comes with a water resistant case, mounting hardware and a charging/downloading cable. You can charge the battery from a wall socket or a USB port on a computer.

Is this the same size as any other GoPro? Will the GoPro brand attachments fit it like original.

Video quality is fine, however if not for the moving kite, I would swear you were in a studio with a painted backdrop. It all just looks so perfect... ;)

Yup, parts are completely interchangeable. It appears to be identical in size to the GoPro. It appears to be a complete knock off. I suspect they saved some money on the electronics as the picture quality and color control dont seem to be quite as good. I'm offering it at a price that is less than 1/3 the comparable GoPro, and I'd say it is more than 1/2 as good as the original.

Yes, but only after you've had enough medication to make the PL and Rev start to glitter :lol:
Many knock-off cameras however, frequently of much cheaper construction, are still able to produce a good image. (Hey, put it in a waterproof case and enjoy the price difference.)

Comes in a "waterproof" case that seems for all practical purposes a complete knockoff of the GoPro case (shown in picture).

Come on somebody, you know you want some chicken! :duh:

If I didn't have 3 already this is a great price.
