Advantages: Design, price and quality
Disadvantages: not
Comment: I have been using this camera for a month now. Despite the budget price, the camera has a good resolution and image quality. I also liked the length of the video, about 90 minutes, which is cool. Although the memory card is not so much, but it is solved when using a flash drive. Its appearance and color is something very original and stylish. The body is made of high-quality rubber, as I have not dropped it, it still works. In general, in this case, the ratio of price and quality is excellent.

Advantages: the ability to shoot Full HD video, strong and reliable body, 5 megapixel matrix
Disadvantages: Colour
Comment: Excellent handy camera for athletes and extreme sports. Made on a CMOS matrix, 5 megapixels in size, it has its own 32 MB of memory, as well as support for Micro SD. Acquired for shooting video in Full HD, for which this camera came at an opportune moment. After buying it tested under water, everything went well. The case is sealed and reliably protected, the video turned out very high quality. Happy with my new purchase.

Advantages: Design, Full HD, dust and water proof housing, compact
Comment: I take a great interest in photo, video filming and my parents made me a long-awaited gift of the Polaroid Cube. Design is just a bomb! Envy all friends! Full HD in this baby conquered me, and even at that price. In addition, this Lala has a 120-degree wide-angle lens that captures the whole world around me and the dust and moisture protective body. I do not know how to 5 meters, but in the rain we make great walks with her. Photos look like 10 pixels.
Very easy to use - just one button at the top. If you hold it for three seconds, then turn it on or off, one click - for a photo, two clicks - for a video.

Comment: Four Polaroid Cube cameras were checked (two returned to the store, one accidentally crushed during operation). At all, the polaroidcube application did not work to configure some parameters.
The application was tested on three card capacities - 2G, 8G and 16G on Russian-language systems: Windows 8.1, Windows XP and Mac OS (version unknown). Find this application on the official resources failed.
I contacted representatives of Polaroid in the Russian Federation a month ago. They said we understand. There is no result at the time of writing this review.
As a result, an English-language MacBook was found and the necessary parameters were set (time and cyclical recording)
The camera was considered as a DVR for a bike and will be installed directly on it.
Due to the inaccessibility in local stores of native mounts, you will have to invent fasteners yourself, since the cubic shape of the camera gives you a lot of imagination;)
The camera of their money is definitely.

Comment: Wonderful little camera, with the cutest design and excellent video shooting quality.
It is a pity that the quality of photos is quite unsatisfactory. In addition, I was among those "lucky ones" who do not start a PC application (Polaroid forums are full of fellows in misfortune): as a result, it’s impossible to turn off the horrible squeak with which the camera accompanies its work (such as a start or shooting signal)
As a result: an action camera, excellent for its price, with a shockproof and waterproof casing

Comment: Last Saturday I bought myself such a camera. I managed to test it already and I want to share my impressions. It's great that the battery can work for a long time without recharging, and the camera itself has 32 MB of internal memory. I shot underwater and was very impressed with the image quality. Cool! Then he attached to his helmet and rode a motorcycle. Despite the high speed, the video was very high quality.

Comment: A normal thing, bought for fun, but in everyday life it will come down as a registrar on a car, buy a mount and it's ready. The camera shoots perfectly, both photos and videos. Even with good shaking, the picture is not shaking, everything is almost smooth. The very appearance of the device is gorgeous, live this cube looks much cooler than the picture and its dimensions are very compact, which is a big plus for traveling and relaxing. The back cover was a minus for me, I don’t know why, but it gives me alarm at each opening and closing. There is no gap, everything fits snugly, but suddenly appears. And so pleased with everything, with this gadget there is always something to take off and the quality is excellent.

Advantages: Excellent design, size, convenient management, price.
Disadvantages: The dependence of the quality of images from external lighting.
Comment: Super camera, you can carry it with you anywhere and anytime. Made of excellent impact-resistant plastic, has a good angle of view, waterproof, can be attached to any metal object at the expense of magnets, which is very convenient to use. Another advantage is its tiny size. Despite her small parameters, she takes pictures in a cool Full HD resolution. The possibility of increasing memory. Good camera for a relatively low cost.

Advantages: Shock-resistant, moisture-proof, microSD 32 GB of memory, the presence of a magnet, small size, 90 min of continuous operation
Disadvantages: 6 megapixel camera
Comment: In general, satisfied with the mini-camera. I got a fixture and skiing with it. Nestrachno if it falls into the snow, it is waterproof and keeps the blow, her body is rubberized. The quality of shooting and photos suits me, although the 6 megapixel camera and the dimensions of the lens and sensor are quite small. I am very pleased that you can use a 32 GB removable microSD card and enjoy the 90 minute shooting.

Advantages: Price, video quality, all functions of the action camera are performed perfectly
Disadvantages: Not found
Comment: Very cool camera, has long been waiting for its release, and was not at all disappointed. For such a small amount of money for an action camera, the quality of shooting is very good, really 1080p, plus a wide-angle lens. All winter I took her with me when I was snowboarding or skiing, the videos are super! The magnet holds up well, even at high speeds, the camera is really waterproof and shockproof, as stated.
