Nexgadget 4K Action Camera

I received this Nexgadget 4K Action Camera at no charge in exchange for this review.

Let me start by saying that this camera is not close to the quality level of, say, a GoPro Hero. It also costs approximately 20% of what a GoPro costs, so it really is not fair to compare the two. The four-star rating I am giving this camera-package is most definitely taking the very low cost into account. There is a huge difference between a $65 action camera and a $350 action camera, as well there should be.

The Nexgadget camera is small and compact. It is about--perhaps even exactly--the size of the GoPro Hero 4. (I have not compared them.)

The menu functionality is fairly intuitive, so the camera is easy to set and use. The image quality seems fine, with one huge caveat. The zooming functionality is essentially useless. Rather than zoom smoothly, each time you click the button to zoom in or zoom out, the camera zooms a set amount. There is also a very audible "click." You really would not want to zoom at all while creating a video, which is why I say the zoom functionality is essentially useless.

You will need a Micro SD memory card to use this camera.

The camera does come with a whole slew of accessories and mounts. I did not test the waterproof case, but it seems as if it may be waterproof, as advertised.

I can't recommend this camera for anyone looking for something similar in quality to a GoPro. However this camera could be perfect as a first action camera for a child or young teen. If a camera like a GoPro is not in the picture for you (pun intended) and your options are no camera, or this camera from Nexgadget, the price is certainly attractive enough to make this camera a reasonable option.
