Comprehensive evaluation:

Foream Star Shadow X1 is a domestic sports camera brand Foream (Fengyunke) launched a headworn sports camera after acquiring the European sports camera company Drift Innovation (Drift). Foream Star Shadow X1 is a kind of sports camera that is light in movement and has a sense of fashion and technology. The cloud services it carries also enable better integration of hardware and services, and support technologies such as direct link shooting preview/download, cloud storage, cloud editing, automatic synchronization, and live video. Foream Star Shadow X1 supports 8 million pixel photography, up to 1080P high-definition photography, and 1160mAh battery (actually more than), enabling it to stand by for 7 days and shoot high-definition video for more than 3 hours in a row.

advantage:

1、 Headband design, with silicone slip resistance added inside, can be tightly fixed on the head, and will not fall due to intense exercise.

2、 The control mode is simple. Video recording/photographing can be operated with only two buttons, which is convenient for video recording/photographing during movement.

3、 The unique cloud disk service allows cloud storage and cloud editing, which not only does not occupy mobile phone resources, but also allows video editing, music and other operations.

4、 The video recording and photographing are clear. The 720P/1080P video recording and the 8 megapixel camera can meet the needs of sports.

5、 With the live broadcast function, although there is no experience, I believe that the requirements for broadband should be quite high.

6、 The heat is mainly concentrated around the lens, and can not be felt when wearing for a long time.

Disadvantages:

1、 Charging time is too long. It takes 2 and a half hours to fully charge

2、 There is a delay in the preview of direct link shooting, about 2s.

3、 Some functions need to register cameras, and one camera can only be bound to one account. I wonder if it can be unbound.

4、 The anti shake performance is not outstanding enough. If you watch the cycling video for a long time, you will feel dizzy.

5、 It cannot be used during charging. If it can also be used during charging, it can be used as monitoring.
