I realize there are tech forums where this would be answered but I'm already a member here and some of you probably use these things daily.
I just picked up a cheap(retails for $50.00) "GoPro" style camera in a trade. It's NIB and branded CCBETTER. You know the kind, 2"x2"x1" with the waterproof case and all the mounting gadgets. It's suppose to record at 1080p.
Here's the problem. It plays back fine on it's tiny little screen, though the audio is very low volume from the even tinier little speaker. When I plug into the computer and play the stored movie files, the audio is real time but the video is slow mo at 1/3sec(1 second of video takes 3 seconds to play).
I tried transferring the files to the computer hard drive on the logical(to me any way)thought that it was a cable transfer lag or something. It was even worse when played from the computer hard drive. The video was at about 1/5sec but he audio was still 1/1.
Any help from anyone who uses this type of camera? Would recording at a lower resolution help, maybe? The test above was recorded at 1080p.
On the plus side, I was very pleased with the audio performance. I tested it with a motorcycle ride video with the camera clipped to the head band of a reversed baseball cap and the wind noise was not ridiculous and you could hear my voice quite clearly over the ambient noise even at 55mph.
