What ISO settings does it have, especially for lower light rooms?

Rob

Wow, that is great! Hope Aldi Australia will have these too (fingers crossed)

Is it sold out?

Come on vid, comet is a sys9.

Well, this is a strange state of affairs. I am getting so used to wanting to go buy something and the local store (take your pick, Cabelas, Home Depot, Sears, Lowes, etc.) and all of the stores are trying emulate Amazon with buying online and having the item shipped in with no local stock. Sometimes I do like cash and carry.

And here is this Aldi link and you can NOT buy online, as far as I can tell. So now I have to make a mad rush to see if one the the 3 stores in my town have any of these that I can buy.

EDIT: It looks like the sale starts on July 18 and it looks like my local Aldi's are stocked up. I know where I will at 9am on 7-18.

With no online buying it looks like if you live in Bum F Egypt you are either in for a long drive or just SOL.

Is this the same thing? If someone needs to buy it online, it looks like it doesn't even sell for $44 shipped on eBay.

I have a similar device, you can't stream with them and pulling files off them, at least mine, is a PIA as you have to physically connect to a PC to do it. Not ideal when you are out. My Pixel xl2 does a much better job.

Prices for these cameras are dirt cheap. They really only seem to be useful for action shooting and as alternatives to a gopro, not really for stationary pinball video.

This is the one I have, not really happy with it. I can connect to my phone via WiFi, but it doesn’t work well. Maybe the one you show is better. I see the price on mine went up, I got it for $49.

Thanks for the heads up.

I picked one up today. It was the last one on the shelf. No idea if they are going to re-stock or not.

I checked with my east side store this morning and the employed said "tomorrow".

I checked with my west side store this afternoon and walked out with two of them. From what I could tell they had 12 units on the shelf with empty space behind. When they are gone that are gone.

Thanks for the heads up, Vid.

I got one yesterday at the Morristown, Tn. Aldi. About a dozen in stock. Rang up at $69. Thanks again Vid.

Lotta stuff in that box.

Sorry. I thought it was some special effect Apple added to iOS that I did not know about

Hey. The boxes my little cams came in say on the side that there are 2x 850mAh batteries included. I bought two of these cams and there is only one of these batteries in each box.

I should have 4. Anybody who bought 1 cam should have 2 batteries.

To those of you who bought, how is your count?

Where can we buy these little suckers, anyway? Google ain't being very friendly.

There is one battery in the camera, and one loose in the box.

Correction: I have three. I forgot about the battery when I opened the 2nd box. No loose battery in 1st box.

And where can you buy replacements? A Google search does not look encouraging.

There's a lot more under suggested products as well. I don't recognize the brand names, though.

I do good at making myself look like an idiot. I found battery #4 laying under something else on the floor.

And I am not having any good luck with the apps from the Apple store. There are 3 apps that I see: AC777, AC400, and AC-800W.

I have downloaded all 3 apps onto my iPhone 4S.

When I try to add a camera I keep getting the message
"Connection Error. Wi-Fi connection with devise not found."

Anybody have an idea what is up with that? Is my iPhone too old?

I have no ideas. And there re no instructions.

Thanks

EDIT: When all fails, find and read the instructions. The oldest iPhone that can be used is the iPhone 5. I like my 4S (sigh).

Try turning off your mobile data. Took me a while to figure that out. I have a different camera, but it is similar.

Also, i use the finalcam app.

I stopped at aldis again today, since they usually restock on wednesday, but no cameras in sight.

Though, I did get some parts containers for $3.49 each, and some sort of collapsible bin cart.

Clifton Park store had half a dozen when I went today to pick one up FYI

Gotta check the island tomorrow. Thanks vid!!!!

I'll be interested to see how this camera takes pinball video and the feedback on it's use. i have an Aokon, which is also 4k and I think is similar, and it's kind of glaring. It also only takes movies in .MOV format, which means I have to convert it to MP4 to get it up on youtube I believe. downloading from the camera to my phone also takes a long time and if the phone goes into sleep mode while you are doing the download, it stops and you have to start over. What I have to do is download it to my pc and then use third party software (freemake) to convert it MP4. Below is a sample of the video I took this morning.

I didn't realise you could record the whole pinball machine with LCD/DMD display with one overhead cam. I should have picked up the Aldi. If anyone has purchased one, I'd be keen to see a video recording of one of your machines.

I used a tripod extended to its highest level. My camera (and Vids) come with a tripod mount.

Thx Vid. As you can tell I am green on using it. I can’t figure out how to remove the camera glare from the leds. Any thoughts?

Flood the game with light from the sides pointed down on the game.

I use these on a stand next to the game.

Boom!!!! Snagged the last 3

Why... 3?

Why 3?

One for the pinball shoot, one for the whipped cream shoot, one for a spare.

One for the dmd, play field, and me. Going to see how they do. Only opening 1 first to get a feel for whether or not I’m keeping them

Here’s a video I made last night. Had it in the water proof case which probably muffled the mic. Not terrribly bad...trying to find a way to stream live (which I don’t believe I can with this cam)

If you want to do pinball streaming or recording, grab some c920 webcams. They are about $50 on amazon and do a great job.

will these do 1080p/60?

In my view you really need 60fps.

Love it when you talk dirty lol

If you want to be super cheap for diffused light, I saw an artist's setup for photographing her art and she a few cheap clamp lights in a couple of cheap, translucent Rubbermaid type type tubs. She got GREAT results.
