Oregon Scientific ATC 2K Action Cam Flash Memory Camcorder Review


First off, the shipping was FAST! It shipped out Saturday (got the notification Sunday morning) and it showed up on Wednesday, very pleased with that.

This thing is durable, I used it for paintball the same day I got it to test it out. It took a shot to the lens, and two to the back cap (where the card and batteries are) and it still works perfectly. The back cap has O-rings on it so when they said "water proof" they meant it. Im a pilot and im going to be using this same camera when I go flying, and when i go rock climbing.

It comes with a lot of adapters to mount on anything, handle bar mount and a helmet mount and it comes with Velcro straps and rubber straps.

It also comes with a USB adapter to directly link to your computer and even video cables so you can hook it up to a TV, It also comes with silicon grease for the O-Rings on the back cap.

Now you are getting what you are paying for, resolution is pretty low, frame rate bounces around (only noticed it twice in an hour long paintball test) and the sound is kinda pixelated. The mounting and camera adjustment can be a little stiff and could piss you off if your in a hurry. Mode selection is confusing even when looking at the manual (change resolution, frame rate, sound, etc) stock everything is at the highest settings and if you have a 2 gig card in there you really don't need to change settings (hour long video was just under 2 gigs).

Considering the price this camera is a steal, 5/5.

Buy it here now!
