sjcam c100+ video test riding my Java Veloce road bike

SJCAM C100+ Action Camera Sports 4k 30FPS Video WiFi 15MP Cameras EIS Stabilization Small Underwater Waterproof Cam with Wearable and Mounting Camera Accessories for Sports, Travel, Vlog

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a cheap SJCAM C100+ action video cam to record while I'm riding my mountain or road bike. But, I'm kind of disappointed because it's too shaky. Well, I can't expect much from the stabilization department since it did say on the box suitable for making tik tok or Instagram videos.

I did look at other product offers but decided to try the C100+. The video quality in 2K is actually not bad. I didn't try the 4K as I wanted to save space and quick download. As I learned that for youtube, it's better to record in 4K than downgraded and upload in 1080p instead of the other way round.

I had some problem connecting the cam to my phone as I didn't know how to activate the wifi. Only after watching their youtube video instruction that I learned you just need to press the power button longer to start and double press to connect via wifi.

The procedure is actually the same for my Nikon P950 camera. When you want to start recording, just press the power button once and press it again to stop. Of course, you can't watch what you're taking as it doesn't have any LCD screen in front or at the back.

You can watch what you're recording once you download and start the SJCAM app on the google play store. Just click the button to connect via wifi and click the special sjcam wifi. You can then use the app to record, take pictures and replay them back from the album section.

You need to remember that once you connect to the cam via wifi, you won't be able to connect to other wifi and go to the internet. You need to disconnect or use mobile data. You can download the pictures and videos to your phone. Once downloaded you can do whatever you want with them.

I tried to download the files to my computer but it seems you can't. My computer didn't recognize the cam or the MicroSD card inside it. I thought I'm supposed to be able to use it as a webcam. Apparently, not. Of course, I can just take out the card and use an adapter. Kind of a hassle.

I haven't looked up if I need to download any kind of software for my computer. As I've said, the quality of the pictures and videos are pretty good. It's only you can't record while moving or it'll be all shaky. You can definitely use it as a Vlog or take holiday videos. As long as you're the one moving.

What I like about the C100+ is how small and portable it is. Definitely a good size for clipping on your backpack or shirt. Which I did when recording my ride on my JAVA Veloce road bike. Again, the stabilization isn't good enough. It even shakes when I'm wearing it and walking around my house.

I need a really good action camera with good stabilization for taking videos while I'm cycling and decided to look around again. I was divided in choosing the GoPro, Insta360, and DJI Action 2. Everyone has their beef about them so I end up making a 'safe' decision by buying the GoPro Hero 10.

Buying a GoPro is a safe choice for me because I've been wanting to get one since the first iteration of the product. Decades later, I'm finally owning one although it's freaking expensive. Well, to me getting one is a good investment for my youtube channel. Especially now I started cycling.
