Customer Review: Good Video, but Audio Sucks and WARRANTY IS USELESS
Summary: 3 Stars
HI EVERYBODY,
back in January of 2009 i bought 2 Oregon Scientific ATC3k which i installed with Brackets on my Superbike to Record VideoS while i GO on the RaceTrack.
The Video Quality is pretty good, i was very pleased with it the Refresh Rate keeps up really good with the High Speeds without Freezing the Video, the Audio instead is very very disappointing, you can only hear a squeeky noise like a broken radio that makes Statics Sounds, basically it's better to turn off the Audio feature and save memory to Record more Video because the Audio is totally pointless!
The RaceTrack Season started in March... in August, after recording about 10 Events, one of the Cameras started acting funny, i arrived back in the Pits and it was turned off... i turned back on, started recording, it recorded few seconds and stopped again.
For that day the Camera kept acting like that... i was recording a Video, then the next 2 they were stopping after few seconds, and at the third temptative it was working again.
I thought there was some formatting issue, maybe a corrupted card so i didn't pay too much attention to it.
The day was done, i arrived home and downloaded the Videos which they were all fine.
In September i went on another RaceTrack and brought both Cameras, i had a new "SD Card" for both of them and new Batteries... sure enough the First Video was recorded perfectly, but at the second session, i arrived at the Pits with a funny message on the Display that didn't make any sense.
So i retried to record something but after few minutes it was just blocking giving random Symbols on the display.
I had to give up one of the 2 Cameras for that day, but i decided to call the warranty Department.
I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO DO A WARRANTY CLAIM and this was the answer:
"I am sorry sir, but due to the nature of Extreme Action use of these Devices, our WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO 90 DAYS"
OK so this is my answer:
"Dear Oregon Scientific, when you tell your Engineers to make an Action Device, remind them to make sure that the Device is capable of resisting action stress otherwise: DON'T CALL IT "ACTION CAM!" (i actually used some stronger words but i don't think they are suitable to a public web site)
CONCLUSION:
The Oregon Scientific ATC3k is a Good ActionCam for this Price, but considering i used it for 6 Months and already Broke, i am not pleases at all with it.. fortunatly the Season is over and i don't need to rush to buy a new ActionCam, but for next year i will make sure i will not buy another product from Oregon Scientific that basically doesn't give me a real Warranty
BEST REGARDS
