Review: Supremo1 Wi-fi Action Camera

Welcome to the Supremo World

Supremo1's boot up

I just got my Supremo1 from Kimstore. I have been playing around with it is just to get use to it for trip out of town. To be honest the video part is okay, but I'm not so sure about the photos. I'll get back to that. Here are the things you get with the package from Kimstore.

What's in the box 
For less than  five thousand Php, you get the 12MPx interpolated camera, a water proof case, two 1000mAh batteries, a remote control, mounts (both flat and curved), mounting tapes, USB for charging and transferring data and a Jackpod. It's pretty cool that you get all this for that price. I have seen reviews about the cam and I would like to say that this is a bargain.
Close up of the packaging
At first glance, it looks just like the high-end brand one. So, once you have your Class 10, 16 or 32 GB mirco SD, your good to go! Here are some photos of the camera itself. It's pretty small and light weight. It already has it LCD screen you get to preview what you are about to record or take photos of. At the top you see the power and shoot button. You can access your photos via the HDMI port on the side of the camera.

 Let's move on to casings. With this pack you will get the water proof case and the portable frame. You can use the portable frame it is sunny and you're sure that you will not get wet in anyway the audio is clear with this frame as well.

It looks cool on the Jackpod too.

If you're planning on capturing underwater scenes, here is what your Supremo will look like. I have not tested mine underwater yet, if you're planning to test your case you can try what thetequiladramedy.com did to test her camera. I have not yet seen if there are accessories made solely for Supremo so I do suggest that you take good care of the accessories you have now.

You can access your camera via Wi-fi and use your iOS or Android phone to control it. All you have to do is to download iSport Cam. This was the app the lady at TechnoPop! asked me to download, I'm not sure if other similar apps will work. You can connect to your camera by press on the Wi-Fi button, the initial password is 1234567890, but you can change that was well as the name of your device.

I hope this was helpful. Also, I just I had my hopes up that this cam will deliver good photos being it 12MP, but the quality of the photos look like it came from a cam with a lower resolution but you be the judge. I think it is better to just save screen shots from videos. Okay I know you have been waiting for this, so here are some sample images. Please read the captions, yes I have edited some. I'll update this once I have a video up in YT. :)
