REPORT ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS
The rotating lens of the SOCAM Ultimate HD Action Cam is a great feature but with no visual feed back (screen) you have no idea if you are shooting upright or upside down. We suggest that you set the camera up using the live view before shooting. The camera is compact, light weight and can be mounted in several ways, using the screw on the tripod mount or the sticky mounts. The slim design allows you to easily carry the camera in your pocket. The pictures and video shot were crisp and clear. You can use the app to adjust and select various settings for the camera and video.
Additional accessories including a detachable LCD screen, a watertight housing, more mounts, and a battery extension pack are due to be released and will enhance this cameras functionality. There is a sentence in the operating instructions booklet under the “First Steps” that states ” The SOCAM Ultimate has a learning curve”, which means you have to practice for some time. This is definitely the case. Put the time in with the SOCAM Ultimate and you will get full use and enjoyment out of it.
