On one side are a power button and a button for linking to the camera from your iOS device using Wi-Fi and the free Action Cam app. The DVR794HD uses a fixed focus 2.9 mm lens at F3.1, so it certainly fits the bill there. Of course, the point of cameras like this is that they're supposed to shoot incredible video through a wide-angle lens. That case is good to 30 meters (about 100 feet), so it shouldn't have any issues with taking a dip in a swimming pool or going snorkeling. The waterproof case goes on easily, with a nice snap-on lock that keeps it securely shut.
Setting up the camera is simple and fast you just pop the included battery pack into the back of the unit, plug the camera in until a small blue LED goes out, and then you're ready for action. However, those are really quite inexpensive, with a 64 GB Class 10 MicroSD card selling now for as little as $25 online. They don't include one necessity - the MicroSD card that photos and videos are stored on. There's also a helmet mount for capturing your skydives and heliskiing, and a handlebar mount for those times where you're racing through the pines on your mountain bike. It wouldn't be an action camera without being waterproof, so Vivitar ships it with a clear plastic waterproof housing. With the battery installed, the bare camera weighs just 2.8 ounces (79.4 grams). Read along to see how the DVR794HD works (or doesn't.) in the Apple ecosystem.Īs with most of the action camera genre, the DVR794HD is tiny - just 2.44 x 1.57 x 1.26 inches (62 x 40 x 32 mm).
So I was fascinated to hear about a much less expensive Wi-Fi enabled action camera from Vivitar - the DVR794HD (US$99, £75.99), and quite happy when the venerable camera and accessory manufacturer offered to send a review unit, even when it's not available yet in the US. But at US$500, it's a bit on the high side for someone who doesn't actually engage in a lot of activities that would would benefit from the high definition video - I don't skydive or scuba dive, and I'm not a snow or skateboarder. Like many TUAW readers, I'm one of those people who has been drooling over the GoPro Hero4 Black action camera since it was recently released.
