    Bonus starts 17/11 for 2 days?

    • TRENT86 on 18/11/2015 - 04:44

      The store credit Yep

      • bigpallooka on 18/11/2015 - 04:46

        Thanks. I don't trust my eyes or my comprehension at 3:40am. Grabbed one of the Luxor Action Cams for my boy as waiting wasn't of value.

  • awoff1 on 18/11/2015 - 05:50

    Luxor also available on ebay so you can use cashback.

  • bniko on 18/11/2015 - 06:32

    does anyone know if you can fit go pro mounts?

    • damion on 18/11/2015 - 08:03

      I can't find any further info about that camera online at all.

      What's the good guys returns policy like if it just turns out to be unusable cheap rubbish?

      • bniko on 18/11/2015 - 08:07

        Im want to know the same but then, maybe would be better to get one of those gopros clones, for about 80 bucks….

      • worthy1 on 18/11/2015 - 08:09

        Not sure id be expecting it to be great for $28 (even the $68RRP). Something you throw to the kids to play with for fun.

        • damion on 18/11/2015 - 08:10

          It does say full 1080p and have a built-in GPS though, which is better than a lot of the cheap ones available…

        • CandyMan on 18/11/2015 - 09:32

          @damion: my laptop has a 1.3 mega micro HD webcam. The word full HD is deceiving

        • damion on 18/11/2015 - 09:48

          @CandyMan: Yes, HD can be a variety of things, but '1080p' is a fixed resolution (of course, the video quality is still variable)

        These look awfully similar

        • mt19 on 18/11/2015 - 08:35

          Nice find, from the photos it looks like a standard tripod mount? For $28 I'm thinking of using it as a cheap helmet cam

  • OhMaJuck on 18/11/2015 - 09:15

    Luxor no information what so ever on the net, must be OEM product
    Cheap….. hmmm can it support 64g micro sd even though it says 32g?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2015 - 10:59

      It's a SDHC device, so it supports Fat32-formatted cards up to 32 GB. 64 and 128 GB cards might work if you format them to Fat32.

  • nulled on 18/11/2015 - 11:24

    Does the LCD actually display any image or do you have to point to things blindly?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2015 - 12:24

      It's just a status display, not a viewfinder. The action-cam is designed to be pointed in the direction of interest, not for framing specific objects. It's not blind pointing… your finger doesn't have a viewfinder, but you can still point at things.

      • damion on 18/11/2015 - 13:18

        Maybe, maybe not:

        "What's more, you can get a sneak peak of the amazing footage and photos with the LUXOR LUXACAR01's LCD screen viewfinder."

        or

        "Viewfinder Display: Back LCD display to display the time or distance of the workout activity"

        which is correct?! I guess I'm going to have to get one to find out.

    Worth pointing out it's the same price on their eBay store with that sweet sweet 2.5% cash back via cashrewards.

        Why didn't I see that, I did a search on page for 'ebay' and it came back empty. My bad/derp.

    Any questions?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2015 - 20:58

      Can you post some video to show how the camera performs? Night/low-light, daytime, camera motionless, camera shaking around. Raw files on DropBox/Google Drive/OneDrive are great, otherwise YouTube or Vimeo (but quality takes a hit when the video is re-encoded).

      • damion on 18/11/2015 - 21:01

        I have to figure out if it will mount on my bike handlebars first, if not, i'm going to take it back.

      • awoff1 on 19/11/2015 - 02:54

        Found some youtube videos under the Sport+ RIDO name.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2015 - 14:00

          Unfortunately most of the image is mush not helped by YouTube compression.

          That said, it's not bad for $28.

        • damion on 19/11/2015 - 14:02

          @Thrift: I'm uploading some raw videos now, but they don't look very good.
          I think it needs better optics.

      • damion on 19/11/2015 - 17:54
        +1

        I've uploaded some raw videos here:
        https://mega.nz/#F!b0kFTAhD!cMAxSr2Bezm_AY9tQ_A_FA

        I can't figure out how to intentionally take photos though, so I'll have to read the instructions again.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2015 - 18:43

          Thanks for uploading.

          The YouTube vid shows taking a photo is done by pressing the power button (maybe you hold it for a few seconds to switch on/off).

        • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2015 - 19:40

          Thanks for the footage, it gives a great indication of the quality. It may be no GoPro, but it's not bad for $28 considering the GPS logging.

          Pity about the glitch in 720p_60fps.MOV at 03m 15s. Doesn't seem to be a regular thing though.

        • damion on 19/11/2015 - 22:09

          @Thrift:
          This thing is ridiculous.
          The camera and gps/display turn on and off independently.
          When you turn the camera on, it also turns on the gps/display.
          When you turn the camera off, it does not turn the gps/display off
          When you turn the gps/display on, the camera does not turn on.
          When you turn the gps/display off, i have no idea what the camera does.

          I think the main issue, is the focus is all wrong. The specs say focal length 0.5 - infinity, but after taking some still photos, it's obvious that everything past about 1m is out of focus.

          I'm going to box it back up and take it back.

    • CyberGenesys on 19/11/2015 - 00:41

      No mention of battery life or recording time on a single charge?

      • damion on 19/11/2015 - 07:45
        +1

        Tucked away in the back of the manual it says 2 hours.

  • CyberGenesys on 20/11/2015 - 14:10

    Mine arrived today. I did not expect it to have so many features that were not camera related. In all honesty I see this more as a cycle computer that can be used as a camera.

    Did a brief search, bicycle computers with GPS capability range from about $100 to $600 so I'm pretty happy with $36. I don't how it compares to the more expensive ones, does what I want though.

    As pointed out above the camera and GPS operate separately from each other in terms of power, it seems odd to begin with, but is probably a useful feature and may improve battery life.

    As yet I haven't tried the camera but as it is now I don't really care, camera is just an extra feature I may or may not use.

    • damion on 20/11/2015 - 14:13

      If you figure out how to take still photos, please take a few and check if objects more than a meter or so away are clear or not.

      I'm interested to know if mine is actually faulty, or if they all just have bad focus.

        Possibly not the best examples. Was taken with the camera set to 16MP which I assume is some kind of demon-magic interpolation.

        • damion on 20/11/2015 - 14:56

          Thanks.
          I think mine might be busted…. I don't think my images are as clear.

        • CyberGenesys on 20/11/2015 - 14:59

          @damion: Could you upload a picture of yours, I'd be interested to see what you mean.

        • damion on 21/11/2015 - 10:32

          @CyberGenesys:
          My wall looks blurrier than your fence and chairs: http://imgur.com/AWhNMhZ

        • CyberGenesys on 21/11/2015 - 10:50

          @damion: It looks like blurry only on the right side? try taking the picture with the camera upside down (it has auto rotate) so the picture should look the same but with the blurry side on the left? That should prove it's an optical issue.

        • damion on 21/11/2015 - 18:08

          @CyberGenesys:
          Actually, I thought it looked blurry on the left hand side.
          Maybe I'm just being too critical of a cheap little plastic f/3.6 fixed-focus lens.
          (and should never use the 16MP option)

  • dkstorm on 21/11/2015 - 00:32

    For those that have bought the action cam, does it have an intervalometer function to take a still pic every x seconds?

    • CyberGenesys on 21/11/2015 - 09:16

      According to the manual

      Time Lapse mode captures a series of photos at 10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 minute intervals.
