EKEN H8 PRO/PLUS/H8s - True 4K Actioncam for 120$

fatpig

This cam is pretty cool. IMX 117 Sony sensor (used on GoPro 3) and true 4k30p , as well as a load of other good framerates. It supposedly has the same shape as the gopro and is therefore compatible with all accessories. But it comes with every accessory you could imagine already included ( 20 pieces or so) Here is a comparison of the different models: http://elproducente.com/eken-h9-h8-h8-pro-h8-plus/

And here is a test vs The Xiaomi Yi 2:

I ordered my H8 Plus (with 720p240 and 1080p60 stabilized) for 119$ on banggood. There is a "ProTune" mod in the works here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/eken-h8-pro-finally-real-4k.21605/page-2

Adding a 36$ 90°FOV lens, and some higher bitrates, this thing is a brilliant bang for the buck! Anyone have any experience with it?

Btw, one that I see on BangGood is for $149-12% coupon - http://ali.pub/jrns9

Yeah I got it on banggood on sale. but the h8s and h8 pro have slightly lower prices. Andoer AN7000 is a nice one. almost same price but more resolution features and framerates. the 4k video you posted seems stretched horizontally though.

Do you think Andoer FW can be flashed onto EKEN? Same sensor&chip..

What bitrate does the hack add? No info available on the bitrate... Here is the info from the hacked firmware...

I dont know about this one, but there is another mod that upps it to 42mbits. Seems it is still early days.

ThiEYE T5e

fatpig

both videos are 1080p60. the t5e seems to be a little expensive at 180$ - almost yi2 price . I dont get this superview feature. it seems horizontally stretched.

fatpig

Andoer AN7000, seems identical to C5 but cheaper, can be found here http://www.cafago.com/en/action-cameras-2547/p-d4256s.html for 110$ with coupon code AKAMERA . Does anyone know why 4k25p is only available in superview? 4k30p is available in normal view.

Hacked firmware confirmed working: https://www.goprawn.com/forum/main-forum/1475-eken-h8pro-h8plus-h8s-thread - no sharpening, no CA correction and flatter colors.
