Veho Muvi KX-2 Pro Action Camera | KX-Series | Handsfree Camcorder | WiFi | 16GB microSD Card | 4k Action Cam | 12MP Photo | 4k30 / 1080p100 | Waterproof Housing (VCC-009-KX2-PRO)

This action camera is a decent entry level camera for those hoping to get into action filming - it's easy to use, sturdy and nicely designed, and is certain to provide an easy start for newcomers to this kind of thing, whether it be from documenting or creating Youtube content. Picture and sound quality are excellent as is the stabilisation feature.

Do not buy this product under any circumstances - you will be 100% disappointed! I bought this item brand-new in July 2019 and from day one the battery life has been very poor. It was advertised as a 4k camera with battery life up to 2hrs. At 1080p it only ever managed 1hr 12mins at best from new. Currently today set at 720p it only manages 47 mins! I have contacted the Veho UK support team via email several times and also registered the issue on their website - their response has been poor throughout - one reply told me to alter the reduce the rate down, to improve the battery life - I told them it was already on the lowest setting at 720p, I got no response to that... Today June 16th 2020 I have again contacted the support team who have basically just told me 'sorry they cannot help further at this time' Pay the extra money and get a Go-Pro, Garmin or other make as this Veho camera is fiddly to use and has a battery that will disappoint.

My initial impressions are quite good. It's really, really tiny and solidly made. You'll need a micro SD card. Read the instructions because there are a couple of things that aren't totally obvious, like how you press the power switch to start the video and the red video button to stop it. But it's easy enough to master. There are quite a few settings, but the touch screen makes changing them easy, even though it's very small. I like the various interval setting to capture stop motion movies, and you can do things like automatically take a still photo during video every two or five or more seconds. You can record just video and not sound (sound is poor), or both, or set it to start recording when it senses camera movement... a useful armoury of settings. You can connect by wi-fi to your phone too and see what the camera sees and access its controls and settings – very useful if it's attached to a helmet or something. This works very well for me. You can also transfer videos and photos to your phone this way. You can also connect to a remote shutter release (like on a selfie stick) with Bluetooth. For video, Veho recommends the 1080p60 (60 frames per second full HD), which gives good, sharp, smooth results. The f/2.5 lens means it not going to be too bad in low light or underwater. You can also record at 720p100 for super smooth or slow motion, and then there's the 4K10 setting... Hmm. Ten frames per second? That's poor. So this is a 4K video device in name only, so don't be misled. Ten frames is unacceptably jerky and awful. There's electronic image stabilisation though, which works 'quite' well but is no replacement for a gimbal. It records still photos at 12MP but stills look mediocre. Use your phone instead. I like the big, chunky plastic carry case with foam inserts so you can take all your accessories safely with you. And it comes with quite a few. The best is a crystal waterproof case good for 40m depth. There's also a slightly flimsy 'quick release' 'case' that like the waterproof case clicks into one of the included mounts; these have adhesive pads so aren't re-usable – once you've stuck them on something, that's it. And there are some small soft pads and an orange rubber thing that doesn't have any obvious purpose. What it lacks is a tripod mount, or any kind of temporary means of attaching the camera to things. You'll have to delve into the wonderful world of accessories for these! The obvious comparison you'll make is with the GoPro Hero series. GoPro costs a lot more actually but does 'proper' 4K60 video with really good image stabilisation and is waterproof without an extra case, though not to 40m. But this action cam takes fairly solid 1080p60 video and is cute and super tiny (even in its waterproof case) and easy to use. Wi-fi works well and the accessory case is a bonus. You pays your money and your takes your choice, as they say.

Unlike many action cameras which supply no extras and which have to be purchased separately, with this you get a good 'starter pack' with several bits and pieces (two sticky mounting bases plus a frame mount and waterproof case mount). It's good that you get a hard carry case with it, but the case is rather on the large side - nearly half of it is taken up by an unnecessarily large foam block to hold the camera, and there is quite a thick foam surround in the bottom half and thick padding in the lid, all of which could have been much smaller and thinner allowing the case to be more compact. You need to supply your own micro SD card (it will take up to 64GB). Charging is via the supplied USB to USB Micro B cable. There is an access panel for inserting and removing the battery; I assume you can purchase extra batteries to replace when you are out in the field. (Don't make the mistake I nearly did of very nearly pulling the tape off the battery thinking it was a protective strip that needed to be removed before use - will teach me to RTFM first.) Video and image quality seems quite good. Sound quality (if you choose to record this with your video) is not great but then that seems as far as I can tell to be a bit of an issue in general with these kind of compact action cameras. The set of instructions is quite good and clear, and it's generally simple and easy to understand (though I do find it a bit odd that the on/off button on the front doubles as the start recording button and there is a separate stop recording button on the top). There is a very useful mobile app which connects to the camera via wi-fi so you can control it remotely and even use it to send images and video straight from the camera to social networks.

Very compact, very neat. Picture seemed very clear. Problem was they {I tried 2] don't work. First one was always in record mode and recording, stop button had no effect. I could get into the menu but as soon as I came out it started recording. Only way to stop was turn the whole thing off. 2nd one not much better, I could at least get into the menu and still photo mode but switch to video and it would record non stop, again stop button useless. Wifi would not connect on either. I wanted one of these to replace previous model which I had for 18 months, touch screen stopped working and although I replaced the screen it never really worked again. Contacted Veho - ignored, contacted them again re new ones to ask for the advise of a technician who contacted me via email but as soon as he realised the cameras were faulty no more communication. After sales service NIL points. I shall order a Go Pro.

We have been using this action camera for a while and sharing it with the family. The children have really enjoyed using it to make films and recording action shot and videos whilst on holiday and at home. The camera is compact and quite straight forward to use, with the images easily saved to the SD card, which can then be edited or the movies shown on the TV screen. The camera comes with a sturdy and stylish and compact case and a protective waterproof case for the action camera itself.

Camera is dependent on separate app to view and download the video's. The iPhone app is unusable making the camera unfit-for-purpose. In addition the battery life at 4k resolution appears to be about 10 minutes from a full-charge when running the WiFi connection attempting to download the content! A shame as this could of been a could little camera...

I've had a few 4K action cams over the past few years and all of them have felt flimsy and mercenary. They are designed to be put through a lot of punishment yet stop working so easily. I must also warn you against the action cams sold in holiday resorts as they are often assembled from cheap parts that are over 10 years old and cut to look like modern action cams. One look at the photocopied box art ought to set the alarm bells ringing. So far I am quite skeptical and cynical about the action cam market and it's hard to figure out which manafacturer is legit. As with any hardware, you pay for what you get. If a camera seems like a steal at £40 then £40 will surely be stolen. I'm happy to report that I am so far quite impressed with this Veho action camera. Anything less than 4K resolution, no matter what kind of camera you have, is just not worth the investment these days. The footage is crisp and colorful, with a wide range of colors and good contrast. The package comes in a sturdy tool box with a small amount of accessories for mounting on handlebars, helmets, dashboards, etc. as well as waterproof casing for those of you venturing into swamps, sludge pits, and the Thames estuary. The stills camera is a bit grainy though. I won't be using it for that anyway, but it is something to keep in mind. Of the three action cams I now own I can see myself getting the most use out of this one.

I have used this camera extensively to film tennis matches and it has performed well. I hook up an external battery and have filmed up to 8 hours straight, using three cameras at a time. Could have gone longer. I understand the other reviewers comments though about the wi-fi, but it has since been fixed and works fine. I can't say about biking or boating or whatever, but for tennis, it's great. Picture is crystal clear and the lcd display on the back makes it easy to control. By way of full disclosure, I sell this camera as a package with my camera mount for tennis players at MyTennisTools.com and my customers find it is performing fine for them. No complaints so far!

The camera arrived in a slick case, all components present. User's manual is barebones and marginally helpful. I had problems with the battery charging. The only support option was to Email the company in England - which I did and three weeks later I have yet to hear from them. In spite of downloading the app, I am unable to sync my phone with the camera which makes using the camera much less efficient and practical. My impression is that this is a cheap 'knock-off' of the Go-Pro and a regrettable purchase.
