Let me start by saying this little camera surprised me. The Hiicam Speed 60 packs serious specs for the price - 4K/60fps video, dual screens, and waterproofing without needing a case. I took it hiking last weekend and was genuinely impressed by how much camera you get for under $150.

The touchscreen is super responsive (way better than my old GoPro Hero 5) and that front display is a game-changer for framing shots. I mounted it on my bike handlebars using the included mount and the EIS stabilization worked surprisingly well on paved trails - footage stayed smooth even over bumps.

Now for the not-so-good: The microphone might as well be decorative. Even moderate wind completely ruins audio quality, which is frustrating when recording outdoor adventures. The field of view also feels narrower than advertised - my motorcycle test shots missed important peripheral action.

Battery life is decent (about 90 minutes of continuous 4K recording per battery), but here's a pro tip: The charging case only charges one battery at a time sequentially, so plan ahead if you've got a big adventure day planned.

Underwater performance was where this camera really shined for me. At a community pool (about 8ft deep), colors remained vibrant without that awful blue tint cheaper action cams get. The anti-fog lens protector actually works - no condensation issues during my 45-minute swim session.

Would I recommend it? For casual users who want good video quality without GoPro prices - absolutely. But serious creators needing wide FOVs or clean audio should look elsewhere. This is essentially a premium 'starter' action cam with some impressive highlights and understandable compromises.
