You can take advantage of the very small video that we have made with a test of how it records outdoors and indoors roughly. Although on YouTube we will find videos of the camera in its pure action.

Chamber design and materials

Plastic is the material chosen by Aukey to completely cover its camera, nothing else could be expected, and that is that its lightness and resistance to movement to which it will undoubtedly be subjected can be guaranteed. It is not a material that other brands have not chosen, from the most expensive to the cheapest, Aukey places this camera in a fairly low price range, why are we going to fool ourselvesAlthough it is not one of the cheapest out there either, and that is understandable if we take into account that Aukey is a fairly reputable brand in the manufacture of "cheap" accessories.

Its dimensions are 59 x 41 x 25 mm and a weight of 64 grams. and they have not tried to innovate in the slightest in terms of design. One side of the front is for the large camera sensor that it has, while on the opposite side we have the "Power" button, which in turn serves to invoke the menu. In the same way, one of the sides is relegated to the "Up" and "Down" buttons to navigate through the menu, while the other side is for the microSD card and the miniHDMI.

The upper part is intended for the trigger. Similarly, andn the back we have a two-inch screen with a fairly good brightnessAlthough we remember that these screens are used for little more than seeing what we are recording and calculating the focus. On the front, in addition to a small flash, we will find two sensors that will allow us to take advantage of, among other things, the wireless trigger that we will have (included in the box) and that is luxurious. The sides of the camera are made of grooved plastic, to improve its grip and resistance.

The camera also has a microphone that offers the quality that can be expected from the microphone of this type of cameras, very poor. So perhaps using an alternative microphone is the best option. In terms of recording, we have found a quality that may not correspond to the silkscreened one, although later it does fit in terms of specifications.

Notably Aukey's 4K camera lacks any kind of image stabilization, This is noticeable in sudden and constant movements, the tremor in the recording will be there, especially for those who do not have basic knowledge in this regard. In short, the microphone complies, it can get us out of trouble, but it will not offer us a "good result" when recording outdoors.

The autonomy that the Aukey 4K camera gives us is between 90 minutes and 80 minutess, at least in the recording tests at Full HD – 60 FPS which has been chosen by the team. ActualidadGadget for this test. We can also use the camera while it is anchored to any power source (cable or powerbank), and its second battery will get us out of a lot of trouble.

Editor's opinion

The camera AC-LC2 has everything you would expect from a camera of these characteristics signed by Aukey. If what you're looking for is a sharp and spectacular 4K image, forget it. This camera is designed for those who want to get started with sports or action recording, or those whose budget is not too high, however, it offers good results at Full HD resolution, and is very similar to other competing cameras. On the other hand, its accessories, the fact that it includes the wireless control wristband and the two batteries, added to all this to the confidence that Aukey brings, positions it very much taking into account what other cameras in the same price range offer.
