iON Air Pro Lite + WiFi Action / Helmet Camera - REVIEW

Single button operation makes it very easy to record and with the optional WIFI PODZ, you can share your video through a simple upload to your smartphone or tablet (A free app for the iPhone/iPad or android device is available).
Shockproof and waterproof straight out the box with no separate housing required - can it live up to the quality of its competitors? Lets find out!.......

That information was very helpful I got the camera yesterday for my b-day. It is the perfect camera because I don't need super high quality.

I have both. I like the Gopro (Hero and Hero 3), but the Ion actually produces nicer video results overall. You can view plenty of tests that show how washed out the Gopro looks in comparison. However, you can fix the video of the Gopro in post. But if you want nicer looking video straight out of the camera, the Ion is superior. The shape of the Ion is streamlined. Anyone who runs, bikes or surfs may prefer the Ion. For underwater I like the Gopro better. Audio of the Ion is also better, unless you take the Gopro out the case. Bottom line: Ion was designed to provide superior out of camera results and it does this in many cases.

This device should be interesting as a car dashcam, considering the low price of used ones at ebay :)

I bought one on clearance at Wal-Mart about 4 years ago for 20 bucks, never used it with an app was happy with it but where you plug the charger into it somehow got pushed in and won't connect.

Hey, Is the ion battery built in? and in long time can the battery start lose capacity just like  It happens with batteries of cell phones?

[firemedic]

The AV port on the Air Pro Lite is a 2.5 AV jack and not a 3.5 for external microphone. The Air Pro 3 has the 3.5 external mic jack.

Buona sera volevo sapere il prezzo della Telecamera. Grazie

[knucklesmotovlogs]

I just bought this camera the other day. is there a way to use an external mic?

I am trying to find a helmet cam that loop records but also let's me protect the last X minutes when I press a button. So when something interesting happens, I can press the button and then when I get home I don't have to search through hours of footage...

This has only MOV format recording...( HD & WVGA) . is there a way to convert it into MP4 ?

[stuartcaldwell]

Good sales video, but doesn't help if there are issues with setting this up. The wifi set up is not as straight forward as they say it is still working on this one, no solutions yet.

[Mikenopolis]

just got one for $20 on clearance at Target (after a $10 coupon and Red Card). Not sure if I even need it but too good of a deal to pass up.

I am looking for a secondary camera to supplement my GoPro Hero 4 Silver that doesn't break the bank. My first choice is the Hero 3 White for $199 since a lot of the Hero 4 accessories will work with the Hero 3 White. My 2nd choice is this ION Air you just reviewed....however it just looks awkward to use? My last choice is the Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V which I do not know much about but it does have good reviews. If you had to choose which camera would you choose as a secondary camera? Thanks! Good review of the ION!!!

[noahtshirt]

I recently scratched my ion air pro lens, is it possible to replace the lens. If so, does any one know where I can buy a replacement??

[rollfablife]

I need help with my ion air pro! can I use multiple ion cameras with WiFi?

[tomvandeplassche]

Great review! I would definetely prefer to buy the standard GoPro Hero, it is cheaper and better. A big downside i see on the Ion is the lack of a little screen. I tmust be terrible that you have to take out your phone, turn WiFi on, open the app and then be able to change settings while whith the GoPro you are able to do that immediately with the little screen. The GoPro also is sooo much more versatile and has so many more useful accesories and aftermarket batteries you can buy with it and in the end you will just prefer the GoPro. 
Since the GoPro came out so many brands are trying to compete with it, but yet, non has succeeded in my point of view.

[ZekePolarisBSH]

I am trying to find out what happened to ioncamera. They claimed to have a Twitter but their Twitter never existed.

[deadmanao]

How can i find the ion at the app store?

[staceyjones]

Can you record & download videos without the wifi

[benjaminmason]

What's the difference between this and the kitvision rush HD100W, witch you can bag for £59.99 on Amazon.co.uk
