Review Blackview Hero 1. Comparison with GoPro 3+ Black
Recently, I dropped my Cheerson CX-20 quadrocopter (GoPro was installed on board) from about fifty meters. I was lucky that the camera was in boxing and did not suffer, but the latch burst on the box. Therefore, for further flights with the camera, I decided to order something cheaper, namely Blackview Hero 1 . And, as it turned out, the camera fully met my expectations.

Comparison The
Chinese counterpart is slightly larger than the GoPro, most likely due to the built-in screen. GoPro is definitely nicer to hold in your hand, as its body is rubberized, and our subject just has corrugated plastic.
Sometimes the camera freezes and you have to pull out the battery, which is not so simple to do. Firstly, it’s difficult to pry the lid off, the focus is similar to that of GoPro, flipping and shaking it doesn’t work. Secondly, after the lid is removed, you need to directly remove the battery, GoPro has a harness for this, which you can pull on or just knock it out of the case, but on the Chinese analogue there is no such mechanism and you can’t remove it either, as the battery inserts upright and sits tight.
GoPro has 3 buttons for control, but in fact everything is done with two (the third is purely for turning wifi on and off), so when I saw “a lot of buttons” on the case, I was very happy, because by the logic of things, switch modes and surf on the interface, it should be easier and faster. But in reality, everything turned out to be very bad.
It would seem that the side buttons up and down should switch the controls, but in fact one of them scrolls in a circle (down), and the second switches to the settings for this mode.
To switch modes (photo / video / gallery), press and hold the up button.

On the left is GoPro, on the right is Blackview
Video with GoPro is clearer and more colorful, but Blackview is not much behind.
Results
Although GoPro has left its analogue behind, I do not regret a bit about the acquisition. I also want to note several advantages of Blackview Hero 1, which will not disappoint its owner. Firstly, this is the price, when I bought it it cost $ 130, and now it’s so tasty in general - only $ 96.73 . Secondly, I want to highlight the large number of mounts that come with the kit, since GoPro packs its cameras very poorly, and this is an additional cost. Thirdly, the display, of course you will not see much in it (because of the size), but it helps to choose the right angle.
