Review: Ordro EP8 head mounted camera
Added 2022-06-19 10:02:00 +0000 UTCUPDATED:
A tidied-up version of the video is now the one embedded above. I also took the opportunity to add on a a public service announcement starting at 17:27 in response to a spate of lunacy.
I’ve been using this camera on and off over the last few weeks. It was a way to make a video without having enough time to make a video. I grabbed clips whenever I could. As a result there’s quite a bit of footage of me just going about my business edited into the review.
As you’ll no doubt notice in the video, the audio quality is this camera’s least impressive aspect. There’s little point attempting to EQ this during editing (even if I could). That would be missing the point. It’d be like doing a review of a terrible stills camera but then fixing up any demonstration photos in photoshop.
Anyway - that’s it, I’m thoroughly knackered now, take care and have a good week.

I wouldn’t waste your time - they’ll be something new along soon instead. This shows why I don’t review cameras any more though. The ad revenue just about paid for the EP8 - but overall it’d have been wiser to stay in bed for the week.

2022-07-01 19:20:04 +0000 UTCThanks for the review! I may purchase one of these as it'll fit my use-case perfectly. The previous model's video quality was far too "sharpened" and "contrasty" with a strange colour to the video, but audio problems aside, this one is good. Suggest to manufacturer if they contact you, to limit the volume as you said and also put a higher audio bitrate as it sounds terribly compressed.
