First off, the Apexcam blew me away with its 4K video quality. I took it hiking, and the footage of sunset over the mountains was so crisp, my friends thought I used a professional drone. That 170° wide-angle lens? Perfect for capturing entire landscapes without missing a detail.
The waterproof case is a game-changer. I tested it snorkeling, and even at 10 feet deep, the colors popped—no fogging or leaks. The remote control strapped to my wrist made it effortless to start/stop recordings mid-swim.
Battery life surprised me! With two included batteries, I filmed a full day of kayaking (1080P/60FPS) and still had juice left. The charging case is clutch for road trips.
Downside? The 4K/30FPS stutters slightly during fast motion (like biking downhill), but switching to 1080P/60FPS fixed it. For $40? Worth the trade-off.
Accessories galore—the lavalier mic was a sweet bonus for vlogging. Pro tip: Format your microSD card IN the camera to avoid glitches.
