Hands-off Head-Cam REVIEW - ORDRO EP6

A review of a budget head-mounted POV HD video camera. It’s a bit shaky.

This video has been uploaded in 1080p60 as most of the clips from the camera are in this resolution.

AFFILIATED PURCHASING LINKS:
(There's no Amazon UK link as it's not showing on there at the moment - it's always likely to be cheaper on ebay though).

Note: My camera took approx. four weeks to arrive from China - deliveries are a bit slow at the moment for obvious reasons.

I still prefer the look of having the suction cup action camera on top of my bald head.

"Sir, are you recording?"
"No..."

Thanks for your tests, based on EP6, we've improved the auto-focus, 4K/30fps resolution, and gimbal anti-shake functions, without distortion.

I have absolutely no use for this but still want one.

I think the camera is perfect for someone who needs to take descent hands free video of something they are working on like a mechanic, or wood turning or a repair specialist. Not really suited to walking around. Good review though as usual :-)

As a u.s. viewer, it's just after 5 and I've been driving for fgor hours. This is exactly what I was waiting for. Love your videos, man.

[rkgaustin]

Your action cam reviews are why I started watching you so it's great to see you getting back to the "roots". Thanks!

[Nostalgianerd]

I've been looking for something exactly like this for my "Thrifts" videos. I reckon this fits the bill; so thanks for that Mat! Although I'll wait for your opinions on the EP7 first!

So if the camera has a native 4 MP sensor it isn’t shooting real 4K video anyway. A frame of 4K video is roughly 8 MP. The 20fps spec could be caused by the internal upscaling it’s performing while recording. 4 MP comes out to about 2.7K in video terms, so presumably that mode is the one using the sensor’s native resolution.

"Who would shoot vertical video?"

Oh, don't get me started! Does anyone else shout at the television when one of those ridiculous portrait video clips turns up on the news?

For anyone else wondering who Simon Yam is he "is a Hong Kong actor and film producer"

[photonicpizza]

This seems pretty much perfect for a technician in the field, for things like electrical installations, or even something smaller like electronics repairs and mechanics repairs. It's a very useful kind of documentation for backtracking and finding potential errors, and GoPros are far too expensive for something like that.

Missed the dashcam reviews, your dashcam videos are the best most comprehensive and well thought of

Am I the only one now searching YouTube for EP7 reviews?


Image stabilization is a MUST.


EDIT: Yep, The EP7 does have better stabilization but the field of view 'FOV' is considerably narrower. Just like Techmoan said.

[SuperLordpig]

I can't wait to see all the POV stuff on Xhamster filmed using this.

*Update* working great now! Thanks Techmoan, love your videos!

That awful moment that I realised one of my favourite YouTubers was literally 30 feet from my work place and I didn't see him :(

[kurootter]

OMG that battery life announcement! xD

[StarkRG]

I think it's always worth mentioning that there IS a purpose to saving images with a resolution higher than the native resolution of the sensor, particularly if you can choose a resolution that's EXACTLY double the native resolution. To be honest, I kinda forget WHY it's useful to do this, but I think it might have something to do with image compression and noise filtering. There is diminishing returns, of course, and tripling or quadrupling the native resolution won't get you much better pictures than double.
