When it comes to action cameras, names like GoPro, DJI and Insta360 dominate the conversation. But for budget-conscious users or beginners, brands like SJCAM offer more affordable alternatives. The SJCAM C110 Plus promises 4K video, compact portability and multiple recording modes, all at a fraction of the cost of big-brand models. So, is it a budget win or a compromise too far? Let us dive into our full experience with this compact action camera.
2Setup experience: App is required and can be glitchy
To use the C110 Plus, you need to install the SJCAM Zone app. With no onboard display, the app becomes your main control centre for changing settings, selecting modes and previewing shots. It connects through a dedicated Wi-Fi network emitted by the camera. While you can download media through the app or connect the camera directly to your computer, the overall software experience could benefit from more polish.
Sometimes when you hit the stop button on the app to stop recording, it still appears that the app could be recording, when it has actually stopped. Occasionally, you may feel the need to re-establish connection to check whether the recording has ended. This seems to be a software-related glitch and can potentially be fixed through a future update.
