Presentation of ELE Explorer ELITE Action Camera 4K - WiFi

banner

Are you an action type, and you want to immortalize your every activity on video without being limited by various environmental factors?

Definitely YES!

Are you interested in an inexpensive action camera with the ability to capture up to 4K in 24 frames.
Then you should definitely take a look at the ELE Explorer Elite Action Camera 4K - WiFi.
And do not be fooled by its small size, as it has enough to offer you.

This camera is essentially an upgraded version of the simple Explorer that we presented in our previous Review.

But let's start from the beginning.
Packaging and accessories.

We received the camera a few days ago, and the first thing that impressed us was its beautiful packaging.
It comes in a beautiful - neat and solid packaging that catches your attention from the first moment.
Its box is a beautiful combination of white color with beautiful red stripes and legible letters.

It is easy to open and slide, and when you open it, you can immediately see the 2 separate packages, in which you will find the camera itself in its waterproof case, while in the other box, there are a variety of accompanying stand bases for each type of base and use.

There is even a spare door - glass for its waterproof case, along with a cleaning cloth - adhesive tapes type 3E, along with a manual - a warranty card and of course a USB cable to connect to our PC, to transfer files and charge the camera battery.

It was a really pleasant surprise to find that the camera in its original packaging, has everything you would probably need to place it where you want, from a helmet - to the camera - to the bike - to the car - to the hand - to a tripod, or even and anywhere else imagine with the help of the lace laces contained in its packaging.

 

All of the above is good, and well done to ELE for its very complete packaging, but since the camera should be judged not only for the above,
Let's move on to its features and capabilities in the field of Video and Photography.

Camera performance

 

Before we start our report, we need to remind you that we will judge the camera based on its price, as do not expect with so little money to have the performance of a Go-Pro camera or the Action Camera (Xiaomi Yi) from Xiaomi.
The camera is honest for the money it asks you for, it does its job quite well, but of course it also has its drawbacks, but if you are not very demanding you may not pay attention to them.See two samples of 1080p recordingSo the camera shoots quite well when it comes to 1080 Video with a balanced color palette, and relatively fast focus.
I could tire you with the presentation of the various features and capabilities of the camera, but since I am not the most expert in cameras, I will stick to the basics, and the experience I gained from it as a simple user.So the camera can capture video in 4K, but at 24fps, which is an upgrade over the simple Explorer camera.
In 2.7k resolution it can shoot up to 30 fps, 60fps in 1080p, and in 720p Video we can have up to 120fps, which is ideal for slo-motion shooting. The shooting angle can reach up to 170 degrees, and the image sensor that the camera has takes up to 16MP photos.
There is also Burst Mode and the ability to produce Time Lapse Video.
At manual We can adjust the white balance, exposure, and more. the appearance of the noise. The stabilization of the videos is done through a gyroscope which does a pretty good job, as all it creates is a "ripple", keeping the video in very good condition, something that impressed us!The screen is also helpful which is at the back and serves us to see what we are filming. Of course it is not a quality screen but the purpose of its existence is to show us in general where we aim and not to enjoy movies.

As I mentioned above, I am not the most expert in cameras, but in general I can say that I was quite satisfied with the result, and of course since the camera comes with its waterproof case, it will accompany you comfortably on your sea voyages in summer is coming, as it can withstand up to 30 meters depth.

The camera do not forget how it can be connected to application its management via WiFi, which we can download for free from the Play Store and allows us to operate the camera from our mobile phone. With its help we can see what the camera sees, start a recording, see the videos it contains in its memory and change some settings.

The app was not found in the store. 🙁

This presentation is not finalized, and I will add some samples of Video and photos that I will take later, and I will give them to you here as an update.

Its autonomy on the other hand is considered somewhat poor, as especially if you use Wifi, it empties very quickly.
If you do not turn on Wifi, it may give you up to 2 hours of video at 1080p as long as you do not have its screen on for a long time.

This particular camera can easily be turned into a Car Dush Camera, recording Video automatically from the moment you put the key in the starter.

If we take the camera out of its waterproof case, we see that we hold in our hands a tiny camera, which has in its body all the basic control keys and the connection and input ports of microSD card, which can be accepted according to the company, up to 64GB cards.

 

With the side keys we can navigate the camera menu, and change relatively easily any of the settings we want.

Conclusion.

 

Honest camera for its money, with good features and characteristics and a number of accessories,
but of course with mediocre performance but which is absolutely acceptable, for the price category to which it belongs.We recommend it to you, as an honest purchase, especially for all of us amateurs with the sport.Thanks again to GearBest for providing the product.You can get the camera from GearBest by clicking on the link below.

Mention that the camera is available in their European warehouse.
