Polaroid Cube+ 1440p Mini Lifestyle Action Camera with Wi-Fi & Image Stabilization (Red)

I love the new cube. Certainly worth getting the plus version. Having built in WIFI hotspot and Phone app allows you to check the positioning of the device via your phone when setting up. It also allows on the fly settings changes such as "Continuous Mode", "720/1080/1440" video modes, plus ability to play back footage directly to phone.I've been using the phone as a dashcam which is working very well. I purchased through Amazon a box of different mounts for around £25. Inc Waterproof casing and numerous fittings that are gopro compatible. (The water proof case featured a gopro fitting underneath)I mounted a stick on hinge fitting on my car dashboard, but superglued a small metal plate to the top to allow the magnetic cube fixing to be used. (Means I dont need the waterproof case when inside the car) It holds very well.The cube records well as a powered dashcam using continuous mode at 720p. It creates a new file every 5 mins at 330mb size. Continuous mode will wipe older files when the SD card is full. When I leave the car I just place the cube in my pocket. Also, the cube works continuously when connected via USB lead to the car power outlet. No issues being powered while recording so great for long journeys. Also, its fully charged when you arrive.Stabilisation seems good on my motorbike and mountain bike. The battery is currently lasting around 1.5hrs. (May need to test more to get accurate figures)My main criticism is the audio playback. It can sound either faint or very scratchy at times. Sound is the devices main weakness.

Pro: Small, Light, Cute.Con: Useless piece of rubbish that doesn't work. No battery life. Overheats constantly. Can't cope with motion & corrupts video- mostly when its getting hot so seems to record the audio OK but records mainly video artefacts and glitches. Adding WIFI makes it £50 more and the camera worse! WIFI range is about arms reach so pointless anyway.I thought it would be a good 'action cam' to put on a (racing) drone as its small, light & relatively aerodynamic (better than the massive block of a Go-Pro or similar form factor). I got the WIFI one purely to help find my drone if (when) i crash, but has always dropped the connection by the time i land whether ive crashed it or not because the wifi range is 9 metres. After disconnecting it seems to switch off (whole device not just the wifi), so i cant use the wifi signal to help locate the drone. I'm not entirely sure if this is some power saving behaviour it thinking its disconnected so should shut down or if its overheated again. It can overheat just doing a timelapse sitting in an open and fairly breezy window! The magnet on the bottom seems to be a heat sync because its too hot to touch most of the time. 128GB card is presumably for those that never bother emptying their card and just want to record in chunks of how long it takes to turn off / overheat.I think saying it can do the resolutions and framerates it can apparently do is a bit optimistic, as I think you would need to have it plugged into the power and have cooling to record 1080@30fps for more than 20 mins with this thing let alone the 100 mins they say it can do with the wifi off, but then why buy the wifi one not to use it? That is £50 more for a feature that makes the camera worse! I'd love to try 720@120fps but i think it would break.I guess given its 'cuteness' its only intended for a kid to use in an area the size of a small patio for 5 mins before they get bored / lose or swallow it. OK so it isn't actually that small that they could eat the thing but it is really small, which is why it has all these problems. Maybe if they made a metal cased one the whole thing could be a heat sync rather than rubberised insulation and maybe there would be a bit more room inside. There definitely would be if they got rid of the door on the back and used the extra space for battery ... this thing needs every mAh it can get and the volume of the door would probably be enough to double the battery life.

Love this little camera - for it's size, it's incredible. Not expensive, so I can forgive the image stabilization not being up with the big boys - but that wouldn't be realistic anyhow.

The wi-fi don’t work very good. The signal stop ever time. But the image is good, and is easy for use !

When I fight got the cube it was easy enough to get use to the functions seeing as it had no screen. The camera quality was good when recording footage but the pictures when taking a photo were not great and it was what I expected because I did a lot of research. However since I have had it I have used it three times, on the first occasion the camera recoded but then after around 15 minutes of clips it said storage was low I found it easy to use the fuctions, the second time I used it the slot for the micro SD had an issue and the memory card I bought is now stuck in there (I purchased a 128gb one rather than the 8gb that comes as standard). The third time I went to use it was on holiday, we arrived at a water park and was ready to use the camera along with the accessories I bought to go with it and it then froze and I had to let the battery run flat. Now charging is patchy at best and so the camera isn't really useable. I bought it through Amazon warehouse and hoped I had got a bargain but in fact I have wasted £55 and I wish I had just got the go pro hero instead.

Not the best action cam for the money. I ordered the red model and the blue one arrived instead. Not the best settings / mods. Nice and easy to use app. Very bad audio. Limited support. Overall 3 stars out of 5.

Third one purchased. My son's think they are amazing. The quality is very good.

Arrived on time and as described. No problem
