Great action camera

Have this camera for more than a year now. Really love it. Extremely light and high quality. Use it for scuba diving, traveling and vlogging. Wherever I go, I won't leve home without this in combination with a gimbal.
Can't wait to see the next generation or firmware updates to see other features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Actioncam

The Camera creates excellent quality movie Clips. Mounting options are good. The remote turned out to be very useful. The wrist band of the remote however is poorly designed. It is too short if wearing a jacket. It fell of in a jump during a Canyoning. I'm trying to buy a remote only, but I'm not sure if this is possible.

My everyday companion on my trip to Greece

Straight to the point.
Video quality is fantastic. Day scenes at 4K will blow your mind. Stabilizer does excellent job and after a couple of days you will realize that that the use of a viewfinder is not necessary since the wide angle gets it all. Night scenes are OK and nothing special.
Now the sound.... As long it is out of the protective case, audio is great, but when it is inside that case, you hardly record anything.
Menu is not difficult to master, and the battery will keep up nicely.

Great cam - needs wireless audio
on February 2, 2019

Great video and stabilization. OK battery life (80 minutes @ 1080p60 50mbs).
I motovlog (motorcycle Vlogging) along with hundreds of thousands of others and need (in future models):
1. Wireless audio input. It would be great if the audio could come from the PlayMemories control app where the smartphone could combine/mix audio sources. Bluetooth audio input would also be a great option. You'll steal GP market share with this.
2. Better mounting options. GoPro-compatible mounts dominate, so compaitble mounting or a simple adaptor is important.
3. More battery life (2+ hours). Also, consider an (optional) small separate snap-in pack that connects via the USB.

My first brand new unit would overheat after only a few minutes of recording. I did not have it inside the waterproof case and it was about 40 degrees outside (we were hunting). I had it replaced with another brand new unit that did the exact same thing. I even did a recording test and placed it next to my HDR-AS50. The HDR-AS50 ran about an hour an a half before the battery died. The FDX-X3000 powered off in 9 minutes of recording.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
