great 4k wifi sports cam

Many people have reviewed this camera showing all the equipment you get and some imagery. I'd like to review this compared the GoPro Hero 4, as it's something I was trying to match when buying this.

I bought my GoPro Hero 4 in 2015 and I've used it in lots of situations. The video quality is amazing and I'm sure it's worth the £300+ I paid for it. I now use it for cycling mainly and have it mounted on the front or rear of my road bike. But I wanted front AND back at the same time, so I started looking for another action camera. I didn't want to fork out the same amount of money though. I watched many Lightning Deals on Amazon and bought cameras one by one, tried them out, and sent them back. These cameras didn't have what I wanted. I was looking for a camera that would fit in my GoPro housings (I have a lot), would easily show me the status and whether it was recording or not, and would take the same capacity of microSD card that I use in my GoPro.

Then I saw the Dragon Touch Vision 3. The front LCD was similar to the GoPro, the LED lights were also similar (if in a different place), and the side/front/top buttons were exactly the same in position and function. I bought the Dragon Touch Vision 3 on those points alone, and the fact it stated that it would take up to 64GB cards good, even though I can get 128GB in my GoPro.

When it arrived I tried the 128GB card in the Dragon and it worked. I fitted it to my rear saddle, and my GoPro to my front bars and went for a ride. The Dragon (with 128GB microSD) was recording in 4K and the GoPro in 1080p (with 64GB microSD). I knew both cameras were recording as I could see the red LEDs flashing on both units.

Halfway through my ride (1 hour) I stopped for a coffee and changed the batteries in both. They weren't flat, but I knew they wouldn't last for another hour. With the LEDs flashing red and loaded again I set off for home. When I arrived both cameras were still recording. The Dragon on the rear had picked up some road dirt, but the housing had protected it damage.

On reviewing the video I noticed that the Dragon had recorded 30GB of data (at 4K) and the GoPro had recorded 50GB of data (at 1080p). When I viewed the video I could tell the difference. The GoPro is much better, I can read number plates from further away, the colour balance is better, the white balance adjustment happens quicker, and the pixel density is greater.

But, in the end, I publish my video with the front camera as the main video and the rear camera at a 15% size in the bottom right of the main pane. If I was to use my videos for professional productions I would choose the GoPro, if I wanted to post a video on social media or try to get £250 on You've Been Framed then the Dragon is fine. The best part is that I can use EVERY accessory I have for my GoPro with the Dragon, including the housing. Even better, I can use a 128GB card with the Dragon, and if it's recording 2 hours in 4K using 30GB then I can possibly record 8 hours with the 128GB. The only problem is that it's not really 4K in my opinion.
