Cobra Adventure HD 5200 Action Camera Review

This is a follow-up to an earlier video I did where I talked about my first impressions. I've had a chance to use the camera and this is my final thoughts.

Thanks for the review and the helpful information.

Just a heads up, almost EVERY ACTION camera has crummy microphones, if you watch a lot of videos taken by action cams, they typically overplay music, as these are meant for taking B-ROLL shots, or action shots,

also still shots arent grreat on any action camera except for the high end as they have really small sensors (not megapixels/resolution doesnt really matter for camera equipment as the sensors bring the quality)

but would you be able to most more videos youve taken with the camera?

I got mine at Fry's for 20, I agree with your view it's shockingly terrible.

I paid $17 at Here Today. I plan on using it for canoeing.

I got mine at Walmart for only 40.00$ but I ordered it online because normally in the store its from 120$ and online it's $40 it was shipped 4 days later and it was amazing!

Walmart had it on sale for $40 bucks . Good way to see it i get use out of it and use it . Then buy something very good . Good video brother

[GProsperity]

got mine from fry’s for i think $40 recorded 2 hours of my sons birth and had not issue and it says cobra on the screen U probably bought a fake one and over paid I recommend this product cheap decent quality but it does have a fish angle lens

Marcus, if you were here I would buy you a beer. Thank you for saying it is 'junk', instead of beating around the bush about it.

I paid $28.99 and for a camera delivered that I can mount to my motorcycle or toss in my daypack I can learn how to use it and then upgrade at a later time. 30 bucks for a learning tool for me is ok...100 bucks is not ok

[johncelletti]

me again. I just wanted to say I finally received my sd card . I've tried the camera in an outdoor setting on a tripod. The volume is low/muted or wtf. I tried to get on the cobra website and called customer service. They are a poor excuse for helping customers. They transfer you to dead lines that ask to leave a message. The worst product with good customer service is not as bad as a decent product with poor cs. Cobra = Bad product (camera) horrendous customer service. Their FAQ online sends you to a link that is disabled for the 5200 model.

That's too bad. I am with you, I respect Cobra since the CB days. I was going to get this camera, but disappointed by your review. That's too bad.

My video skips and jumps after I watch it

[THEIXDRIP]

IT WORKS GREAT AS A WEB CAM JUST PLUG IN USB IT GIVES YOU PC CAM OPTION

[walterzoomie]

Mine (Adventure HD wifi) sucks. Video quality is terrible and distorted. It freezes, and does everything wrong yours is doing. You'd have better quality video filming with a turnip. Luckily I got it for free. It's not even worth that. There is no "fixing" it. It might be OK for grainy security camera use, but otherwise, straight to the trash can with it. Save up for a GoPro.

[heffptbo]

sure glad I watched your review, I was debating on it looking on jesh, seems they all kinda suck

[IamMunkk]

Anyone know how to use the time lapse function?
