As we have watched this market evolve over the past years we have seen one camera after the next hit the market, each just a little better then before... Until now! The X170 has ticked every box for features which we look for in an extreme sports camera!
Some of the headline features include:
- The X170 delivers DVD quality video and 5Mp photographs,
-
These functions can be controlled by a wireless RF remote control,
-
The camera lens can be rotated through 300º,
-
A 1.5" screen helps you to line up the perfect shot and to playback your video right away,
-
The wide angle lens of 170º will get all the action in your shot,
-
All the mounts that you need are provided, plus it has a metal 8mm thread
-

-
The price tag for all of this is incredible!
Once you set up the camera using the various mounts included, you can rotate the lens to ensure that you have an upright picture. Now that you're ready to go, strap the remote control onto your wrist or handlebar; this remote is all that you need to start and stop the video. If your X170 is in photo mode then the remote will take stills for you at 5Mp.
Having a high quality screen on the camera itself gives you the benefits of being able to review your videos right away. If you are in training then you can learn from watching the footage before going out again. It's also great fun to show off your videos to your friends.
The Action Cameras Bottom Line:
The X170 is the first camera to tick every box that we look at when deciding on a helmet cam to buy. There is so much packed into this small camera. We've tested it to the limits, showed our friends the amazing quality video, and have loved every second of it. We highly recommend the X170 Action Camera!
