    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.

    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'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.

    Quoted from luvthatapex2:

    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.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    The fastest transfer is to pull out the SD card, and plug that card directly into your computer.
    Same as a DSLR Camera. It takes too long to transfer a day's worth of shooting to your laptop by WiFi. Swap memory SD cards, and do a fast data dump.

    Same with DSLR Cameras, they also only shoot in MOV for hi-rez video.
    Don't worry, Youtube accepts all these formats:
    .MOV
    .MPEG4
    .MP4
    .AVI
    .WMV
    .MPEGPS
    .FLV
    3GPP
    WebM
    DNxHR
    ProRes
    CineForm
    HEVC (h265)

    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?

    Here’s a video I took with my Aokon camera, which is very similar to this one. I had exposure on -2/3, iso on 400, glass off with an led spotlight shining from the back. The higher the exposure, the more glaring the leds become..
