[Camera] finished blasting millet! Fluorite S1 Sports Camera Field Video Evaluation Report

Test preface:
In recent years, sports cameras have gradually begun to enter the field of vision of everyone. The first reaction to mentioning sports cameras may be the gopro, and then there are all kinds of thrilling extreme sports scenes that come to mind. In fact, the word "sports camera" restricts the imagination of ordinary people to such products. Due to its special attributes, the sports camera can capture many angles that cannot be captured by ordinary cameras and mobile phones. Some people have tied it to bicycles to record along the way. The scenery, some people put it on a quadcopter to achieve aerial photography, some people stick it on a rotating timer and made a stunning time-lapse documentary, some people threw it into washing machines and dishwashers and people know that they are How it works. Sports camera gameplay is not limited to sports. It is not just a wonderful moment for recording extreme sports. It can enter everyone's life and work to record the hard-to-capture images of mobile phone cameras, adding more to our lives. Interesting content. Today's evaluation not only introduces you to the simple and easy shooting of the fluorite S1, but also introduces a comparative evaluation with the small ant sports camera. I hope that today's assessment can give you some valuable insights and choices in the sports camera. help.

Product introduction:

First, static display and evaluation

After unpacking, it was found to be a suit, fluorite S1, selfie stick and a 32G memory card. This is the basic standard. Here we must explain that the sports camera is generally used ultra-wide-angle lens, shooting range of non-mobile phone can be compared, the self-timer range is outstanding without worrying about people and some small partners are not squeezed into the lens, so self-timer is still essential.

Fluorite S1 unpacking, accessories are all in addition to the charging kit and the manual also added a waterproof shell, Bluetooth remote control and remote wristband. Not many things, but basically can meet the general shooting needs.

Next is the time to look at the value of the color, S1's appearance has a relatively strong motion camera elements: Founder, compact, raised lens. The front face is spliced ​​with two materials and the diagonal lines are highlighted with contrasting colors. The overall visual effect is quite good. The body is plastic and the lens part is wrapped with a matte texture coating process. The splicing of the two materials adds a rich sense of sight and touch.

Fluorite S1 has three keys on the whole body. The top is the shooting button and the side is the switch button. The use of memory requires sequential memory, but it can be used skillfully without complicated operations. It does not require much time to learn.

Around the fluorite S1, knurled granules are used to treat the surface, which not only improves the sense of slip but also enhances the tactile sensation. At the same time, the change in light and shadow caused by the visual texture adds a lot of points to the overall color value.

Fluorite S1 side is a variety of interfaces, protected by a rubber cover, HDMI, Micro SD card slot, Micro USB, a total of three. Micro USB is mainly used for charging, HDMI interface is directly output to the TV or monitor for viewing, but this feature is slightly less useful.

The bottom of the fluorite S1 has a standard 1/4-inch screw hole that can be attached to a wide range of accessories such as tripods, selfie sticks, bike racks, helmet mounts, and more, providing more choices for unique shooting angles.

Waterproof shell, S1 can be used underwater 30M, this level is absolutely enough for ordinary users.

The waterproof shell is slightly larger than the S1, and the lens position is more closely guarded.

With the waterproof shell after the button on the fluorite S1 can still be used, but according to the pressure slightly larger than the original point.

There are two buffer rubbers inside the waterproof shell. The waterproof shell can be used not only in underwater applications like some muddy water environments, but also in large sand and sand environments. It can also protect fluorite S1 well.

The sealing position of the waterproof shell is on the side, and the operation is a bit like the seal box of the lock, but the pressing force is relatively large and the opening is slightly laborious.

Bluetooth remote control can directly control the opening and closing of S1 and modify and replace all shooting modes and parameter settings. Although it is not possible to view shooting samples and viewfinders in real time, it is more compact and convenient and saves power than connecting to a mobile phone. The remote control is connected via Bluetooth. The operation speed is far faster than the wifi connection of the mobile phone app. There is almost no delay. The user experience is refreshing. You can use the remote control to wake the camera directly. (The camera will automatically sleep for 2 minutes without operation, and maintain it for 20 minutes. Bluetooth send).

The Bluetooth remote control has a built-in battery that can be charged via the Micro USB interface. The remote control supports IP67 protection against short-term water soaking. The official stated that the standby time is 30 days, and it takes about 45 minutes from powerless to full. It is not realistic to set the discharge of the remote control for a long time, but more than 1,500 pictures have been taken since fluorite to hand testing, and the video has more than 20 hours of power. The power of the remote control is still 3 cells, and it can only be said that endurance lasts a long time.

The Bluetooth remote controller is equipped with an arm strap made of foam cotton + webbing + Velcro + fasteners, which feels good.

Take off the Velcro to be torn for a long time, visible Velcro fixed to the remote control is very strong.

Wearing a tie-pointed watch, the control was ergonomic, and there were no anti-human bugs. Overall, the operation experience was smooth and comfortable.

The quality of the selfie stick is very good, it's awesome to get acquainted with the lightweight grip, and the full black color of the surface paint compels the full force. With the quick-locking lock, the visual inspection is the same as that of Admiralty tripods. The reliability is no problem for such a compact sports camera.

The self-timer lever comes with a pan/tilt head, and the standard 1/4 screw hole at the bottom of the fluorite S1 is installed directly.

The self-timer lever is also compatible with a waterproof case. Simply remove the head.

The PTZ removed does not know where to put? I'm afraid I'm lost. It's okay. Don't worry about the standard 1/4-inch screw hole at the bottom of the selfie stick.

The bottom of the selfie stick also has a standard 1/4-inch screw hole that can be attached to many accessories, such as a tripod that is not long enough for the self-timer lever to be used.

Second, use the show

As the above video shows, the use of fluorite S1 is still very simple. The shooting operation of the APP is relatively simple and the shooting material of the S1 can be directly transmitted to the mobile phone through the wifi. The video of the fluorite movement can also be directly shared to the Internet. However, the connection of the APP is not very stable, and the transmission is often stuck or dropped. There is the connection procedure of the APP is very troublesome, need to set WIFI and can not control the opening and closing of S1, there is no sleep, if the standby S1 is still within two minutes, it will automatically close and then disconnect. Then continue to shoot again, turn on the phone, turn on the wifi, and connect the phone •••••• In contrast, the user experience of the Bluetooth remote control is great, and the operation speed is far beyond the wifi connection of the mobile phone app, and there is almost no delay. The connection is simple and the user can experience a cool touch, and the user can directly wake the camera with the remote controller (the camera will sleep automatically if there is no operation within 2 minutes, and maintain the Bluetooth transmission for 20 minutes).

Third, waterproof test

The use of the location in the environment of the wet cave, waterproof shell 30M waterproof depth can almost meet the general needs of all players waterproof.

Fourth, the comparison test

The above is a comparative evaluation of the fluorite S1 and the small ant sports camera. The parameter settings are the same, as follows:
Fluorite S1 can shoot up to 1600W pixels wide-angle 152-degree proofs, supports the fastest 30 photos / second proofs shot. Up to 1080p resolution 60 frames per second high resolution video.
The small ant can shoot wide-angle proofs with a maximum of 1600W pixels and 155 degrees, and supports the fastest shooting of 7 photos/second. Up to 1080p resolution 60 frames per second high resolution video.
In the continuous shooting experience, the fluorite S1 almost completely explodes small ants, which is superior to the shooting of dynamic objects.
The proofs in the video were suppressed when compared to the clips. Here is a look at the original image.

For taking pictures:
Through the comparison of the proofs, we found that the overall effect of the small ants was cool, and the adjustment of the fluorite S1 was obviously warmer. In contrast, the color reproduction of fluorite S1 is more realistic, and the darkness of the small ants is not. The advantage of fluorite S1 is that the camera's high color saturation makes the picture look more beautiful under outdoor lighting. The scene shot by the small ant's lens is very vague and it feels like a problem, but after contacting customer service, customer service reflects this is normal! Normal! Not dealt with. There have been many users on the Internet who have reported problems with the lens of the small ants, and some users with strong hands-on ability have disassembled themselves. The small ants on the hand are visually obsolete.

For video capture:
The imaging performance of the video is also the fluorite S1 complete explosion ants, both using 1080P 60fps for shooting, but the small ant imaging is still very dark, whether it is in motion or capture the details of high-speed moving objects small ants have lost serious . Although the two machines have no optical image stabilization, they are still very rich in the details of the motion shooting process of the fluorite S1 under the condition of algorithmic image stabilization. However, the picture of the small ant can not be seen at all and the details are very serious. Low-light nighttime shooting environment The image of the small ant is very dark. Compared with the fluorite S1, the dark details are almost completely lost.

V. Photo display

Although fluorite S1 is a sports camera, but for us in daily life, extreme sports is not a popular project, but fluorite S1 still has its advantages, the above is some shooting sample imaging effect is not lost to the general Card machine and cell phone. The 152° ultra-wide-angle lens of the fluorite S1 allows us to see more details of shooting with ordinary cameras or mobile phones, but it is definitely overwhelming advantage over the general camera fluorite S1's portability, but with Compared to the performance of the S1, the card machine does not lose or lose.

Six, video shooting display

For sports cameras, outdoor sports can play its true attributes. Whether walking in the dense woods or exploring in a wet cave; whether it is sitting in the car watching the scenery, or holding a rope to play the rock fall. Sports cameras record unique and exciting images. It is hard to imagine how many years later they will see this video will show how rich memories.

Seven, delay shooting display

Another fun feature of the fluorite S1 is the time-lapse shooting. The above is a video made with the time-lapse function of the fluorite S1. First of all, science time delay shooting, time-lapse shooting is a kind of time-compression shooting technology. It is a group of photographs that are later used to concatenate the process of several minutes, hours, or even days of several years in a series of videos compressed in a short period of time to play the video. In a time-lapse video, the process of slowly changing an object or scene is compressed to a shorter period of time, presenting an extraordinary and wonderful scene that is normally undetectable with the naked eye.

Eight, use summary
A advantages:
1. It is easy to operate and can be started quickly. It does not require much time to learn.
2. The interactive experience of the APP is very good. Only in the main interface, you can switch the shooting mode with one hand and adjust the shooting parameters.
3. The control of Bluetooth remote control reflects very fast, almost no delay, user experience is cool, and you can use the remote control to directly wake the camera (camera will automatically sleep for 2 minutes without operation, and maintain 20 minutes of Bluetooth transmission).
4. The accessory comes with a waterproof case, and the outdoor performance is very good. It can basically handle some extreme environment shooting.
5. Whether it is the shooting of sports or the capture of high-speed moving objects, S1 has a good ability to capture images, and the details of the screen are rich.

B is insufficient:
1. The battery can't be removed, and the shooting time is about two hours even if you don't open wifi and Bluetooth. It's a real injury that you can't replace the backup battery when the battery life is not long.
2. Although the interactive performance of the APP is very good, the connection of the wifi is very unstable, and the captured images often get stuck or distorted, and the shooting delay often occurs.
3. Although the wide-angle lens of 152° can capture a wider picture, the distortion of the picture edge is still more serious. It is hoped that the software processing in the later stage can weaken the edge distortion.
Although the shooting ability and the quality of the explosion of the small ant, but the picture clarity, purity, wide-angle anti-distortion ability, low light shooting capability, white balance, etc. or have a distance with GOPRO, after all, input and output still have to proportional.

C Comprehensive experience:
A technology product or any product whose primary value is to serve people’s lives or areas that people like, to help us explore a new way of life, or to broaden our perceived boundaries, then it should Is an excellent product. Fluorite S1 is such a product that can capture the wonderful pictures of outdoor sports, and can also record the bits and pieces of life. Although the fluorite S1 has a lot of room for improvement, but for a mid-range sports camera, its existence can indeed bring some unusual surprises for most players with inadequate budget. It is a very happy thing for us to have a sports camera. It is like our third eye in a certain way. After we have it, we will unconsciously explore the mountains and the sea, the grasslands and the sky, and go to places where we have not gone or visited before. It can also help us to re-understand the new face of familiarity or discover the angles we haven't seen before. Its appearance can add more interesting content to our lives and may even change our way of life. The world we can see with its help will not be what we see now.
