SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!

[phlovley]

[m1guel1010]

[19celo99]

[SUPERDAVIDLEVINE]

[xPrimeGFX]

Hey reply did u ever get a black screen ive had it a month and its broke

[Bairindo]

Hi, what does each of the settings mean? I can't really figure them out and don't understand them that much :-/

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@Bairindo It's pretty simple... the higher the number, the higher resolution the video is.

[JustMeYepMe]

Please Reply I Love Filming Skaters And Stuff And I Just Got It But How Do You Take Pictures?!

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@JustMeYepMe When you're in filming mode, hit the left or right toggle button and then use the up or down buttons to select 5 MP

[HesAPooka]

I just picked up this cam along with the Panasonic HXDC1. Both are great cams. Just posted test footage of the HXDC1. I'll be posting footage of the Z5 soon.

[JoelScottTV]

how did it break? im hoping to take my toshiba camileo s30 back and get this camera the toshiba sucks! i just wanted to know how it broke so i can avoid doing that :D

[Blazingspitfire]

I ordered a zx5 few days ago for 99.99

[ThePrinceOfHeroes]

oo im getting that camera for christmas :D ☺

[1bmxjosh]

how much was the sd card

[baker100ful]

I have the same water proof zx3

[MrRFFV]

Nice house.. And Cactus. I assume you live in AZ, Phoenix or Tucson?

[robbiepayne97]

@CrazyiPodReviewer I'm sorry. I have the Zx5. Before the 1.06 update it froze up on me once. And now it doesn't but I think on 720p 60 frames I don't know but it makes it go really fast and then it goes normal speed so I think it was before the 1.06 update but I do not know but Everything else I love this camera. You should get this one. A lot less bugs on this one.

[robbiepayne97]

do you still have this camera?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@robbiepayne97 This camera sadly broke a few months ago...

[1bmxjosh]

@CrazyiPodReviewer i just bought one is it easy to break

[Kreeper510]

@CrazyiPodReviewer y did it brake?!

[ntr245]

@CrazyiPodReviewer how did u break it? Did it break by itself or did u do it? im thinking about gettin one!

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@ntr245 I rarely use this camera but one day I pushed the "on" button to turn on the camera and nothing happened. I threw it in the trash... it's total rubbish. Stick with a good brand like Canon or Sony.

[robbiepayne97]

Do you still have this camera?

[leticiasatin]

i dont like this camera, today i going to staples to return , becouse is freeze yesterday.

[KforKYO]

[5casey4]

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@5casey4 Yes it does :)

[5casey4]

@CrazyiPodReviewer would a fair trade be this for a flip ultra hd 3rd gen 4gb cuz i wanna trade my friend for his

[nerdbird614]

[specopsteam]

Fantastic crotch shot man I really enjoyed that. I look forward to the next one o ya the camera was nice to.

[TheLassieShow]

I bought this camera and I have it on super HD but when I upload it to my computer it has crummy quality? Why?

[KianMusicPratten]

[MrYokokurama1]

[hawaii007]

HAHA HE SAID "IM NOT OBESE"

[sciguy88]

is there any way of locking the buttons like you would on a phone? i got one and its really anoying because when i mount it to my leg using the strap you can get for it, it presses all the buttons when moving about

[fettesps]

I have this same camera. I grabbed about 10 spare "batters" off eBay for $3-4 ea. Great for canoe trips as it's waterproof and the extra pile of batteries allows me to bring many along and not have to worry about the lack of electricity.

[DravicBlazeHD]

@TeleFridge Yes there is I own one of these.

[blastjamyo]

yo i stole this shit from walmart and sold it to some dumb ass on ebay for $150

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@blastjamyo I wouldn't do that again if I were you ;)

[blastjamyo]

@CrazyiPodReviewer and why the hell is that i steal everything from those ni

ggas

[kulyon]

@blastjamyo lol

[joshua0327980]

@blastjamyo Yo howd you do it without getting caught?

[KezVanBeck]

Should only really buy this if you actually train or do a sport that relies on it, like for parkour its amazing

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@KezVanBeck hahah hey now... sometimes I do parkour things

[KezVanBeck]

@CrazyiPodReviewer GOOD MAN! :D

[KezVanBeck]

@CrazyiPodReviewer GOOD MAN! :D

[joshua0327980]

@KezVanBeck Oh i do parkour videos but the camera got messed up. Getting a new one when my sister comes home from Jersey haha

[RedPipeMario]

i just got one!

[FlyingIronFrog]

I have this camera since December very good camera...

[fluffffyheart]

does it have a camera flash?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@fluffffyheart No it does not.

[jfw657]

Why did you buy a waterproof camera when you live in the desert? / : - D

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@jfw657 There are lots of lakes and pools in my area :)

[arabianwaffle]

$118 at walmart im probably gunna get it

[cmills14etf]

@arabianwaffle dude i have that camera :D

[actfray]

Is this a good camcorder to use indoors? I need to record some upcoming wedding receptions, and I need it to look presentable. If this isn't the appropriate model, what would you recommend? Thanks!

[aarontheairsofter]

If anyone is interested i film all of my video with the playsport for aarontheairsofter take a look.

[spinoboy301]

i have 2 and there bolth broke

[ollieollieono]

Great video! Thinking about buying it but does it have a screw on it so I can mount it onto my gorillapod? I'm using my iPod to film and I have to put a suction cup on it to film lol

[DanMikaVideo]

bought the KDPS for a big trip abroad. It now doesn't charge properly, seems to be a common problem, google this problem before buying.

[gamerdude309]

So, I can't get videos from the camera onto my computer, can somebody help me?

[dandiezal]

Not true, I recorded 40 minutes of video without any pauses or stoppages.

[NOTguineapigeon]

That would be cool if you could plug in a 1000 GB external hard drive into it.

[baker100ful]

did you try holding the button

[baker100ful]

hay i have that camra

[DLSS]

offended by wind noise ?

[CIBOYPRODUCTION]

tHIS KODAK PLAYSPORT IS CRAP I HAD IT SIX MONTHS AND IT DOES NOT  WORK I PAMPERED IT BETTER THAN A BABY AND THE SHIT HAS THE NERVE TO BREAK ,,

[FishingAlberta]

@CIBOYPRODUCTION Works awesome for me. Maybe u got a defective one? Return it and get another one. =)

[HTGMods]

mine wont turn on can u tell me y. i charged it for 2 days.it randomly shut off and wouldnt start up again.

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@HTGMods You probably have a bad unit. Contact Kodak customer support and they will send you a new one.

[Reggo333]

@CrazyiPodReviewer i have an orange one

[FabrickProductions]

I just got this camera through a promotion and I am in love! I immediately went in my back yard and threw it in my pool (I'll upload the video as a response). I haven't had a freezing problem so I think it is his SD card. I have a newer model than the one shown here, but it is basically the same. Message me if you have any questions.

[TheUnknownJakob]

Do you live in Phoenix? I saw the saguaro cacti and was wondering.

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@TheUnknownJakob

Yes I do :D

[TheUnknownJakob]

@CrazyiPodReviewer cool. me too

[BackpackTek]

can it be mounted to a tripod?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@BackpackTek Yes :D

[BackpackTek]

@CrazyiPodReviewer winner winner. im sold!

[audiocable]

i work in retail, kodak makes really shitty products

[dandiezal]

Some questions that you guys may be able to answer. How long can you record at full battery life 720p resolution? Can you film and recharge the camera at the same time? Would there be any problems playing a video in a media player if the camera was to record for over 30 minutes continously. Thanks in advance.

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@dandiezal

You can record about 45 minutes of video with a full battery. You can film and recharge at the same time. Since this camera uses a SD card it cannot record any more than like 5 minutes of video at a time without freezing. You'll find that to be true in all cameras that use SD cards.

[tedflb]

@CrazyiPodReviewer er my kodak camera's never freeze when recording on SD cards :S

[estunum]

@CrazyiPodReviewer I've been looking at getting this camera for a bit and was pretty much sold until you mentioned about it freezing around 5 min. I don't like the sound of that. I've only been a flip user. So I must ask, do you think this problem is related to the camera's hardware or the SD itself? What class SD card are you using? Would a class 10 for instance resolve this problem since it'll record data faster?

[JayKillz93]

lmao "if theres an wind noise please i hope you are not offended or disturbed." funny guy... very helpful video tho my friend

[MrJewPigeon]

Anyone know if this is good for recording rock/metal concerts?

[bigbang695]

@Daryl7798gaming yes you can, i did it and recorded the wrestling matches for my little brother, check them out if you have time to see the camera quality in real life!

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@SamTheSheep01

You need to buy one ;) 

[theJAZOSH]

Thanks for the informative and friendly video.

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@theJAZOSH

Thank you so much!

[unknowsniper14]

is there a stud on the bottom for a Gorillapod

[TheLassieShow]

I got 2 questions. 1. Does it come with a editing studio? 2.Can it convert to Windows Movie Maker?

[gedd11]

IS this a good price? 111 To 126$ at best buy Please reply

[missycjazzy]

Can you import vids to youtube with this camera?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@missycjazzy

Yes you can! very easily too!

[sm4rt188]

But will it blend?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@sm4rt188

I bet it would :D

I love will it blend xD

[1Kromann]

It's pretty great in use underwater :)

I have some underwater footage under my uploads :)

[martinthespartian]

NO NO NO! The flip slide HD is better. It can take 4 hour videos, you can slide the screen like a phone to watch full screen videos, it's all touch screen, has a USB port already inside the camera, and it's the top selling camcorder in the US. Like this for the flip slide HD

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@martinthespartian

Get one while you can I suppose considering Flip Video is getting shuttered :0

[stellablade]

@martinthespartian The Flip Slide doesn't do 1080P though.

[CrysisLTU2]

@martinthespartian 1. With a 32GB card you can record much more than 4 hours of video 2. If I want to watch movies, I will use a PMP 3. What's the point if it has a touch screen? It's even harder to use the damn thing. 4. When you use a USB cable, your camera wont be hanging off the side of your computer, wich it can fall of off the USB port 5. The quality sucks and the camera is overpriced.

[thescaryjunk]

if the sd card slot opens..........underwater.....­,ur screwed

[misssparklingsiren]

Does it have white balance option? or just automatic?

[lilguillen]

i have a question! does this camera have a flash just in case ur in the dark?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@lilguillen

The Playsport does not have a flash. 

[bartdrum26]

i got just got one. form walmart.com . four $115.00 with ex. things. i love it so far

[zapronthe22nd]

[wooffer69]

[JimmyBsChannel]

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@JimmyBsChannel

Yes it has a tripod mount

[CIBOYPRODUCTION]

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@CIBOYPRODUCTION

[BlogsbytheDay]

[Karinin75]

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@cookeemonstah

[daninite23]

[theDERKISHkneeTRUNK]

[KanersTheMan]

Latest version has:

1080p Video and High Quality Pictures

Auto Focus

Its Shock-Proof and Dust-Proof as well as Water-Proof (3 metres)

Has HDMI Cable And AV Cable

Same Price as well.

Thumbs Up Please :)

[sackboylovesLBP]

@KanersTheMan It has auto focus? :D but does the playfull have one as well?

[KanersTheMan]

Why do all white tech reviewers talk the same?

[keylea123]

can i upload this to movie maker

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@keylea123

Yes, this camera works with movie maker

[hwi118]

also i think the h2o mode protects the mic under water. i have the camera and i used it under water and the first time i put it in h2o mode an the sound quality was fine, but the second time i forgot and the sound was really cracked and messed up so i let it air dry for about 2 hours and it was working again

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@hwi118

I'm pretty sure H2O mode has no impact on the hardware of the camera.

[FranksTube86]

does it have a swivel in the bottom to mount it on a camera stand?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@FranksTube86

yes, there is a tripod mount on the bottom!

[FFAarrOw]

Nice test :) for more tests of the new kodak playsport zx5 check my channel :)

[kiteaust]

does it play in Pal ?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@kiteaust

I think it does pal! I'm not sure you better ask Chrisc74. He lives in the UK and he has this camera too

[BlackKitty5841]

I've got a vivitar flipshare, I'm going to get this camera soon *in purple :D*

So my question is:

Will the memory card I bought for my flip work for the kodak? :3

Thanks <3

[martiniXboy]

can it be mounted on a tripod ? ... i want to make youtube videos

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@martiniXboy

Yes there is a tripod mount on the camera.

[martiniXboy]

@CrazyiPodReviewer ty i will try to get that camera

[AnythingLoud]

"It wouldn't be bulging... Like something else..." haha

[fleursqueen]

Is this worth the money?? And do still have it?? Is it a good buy?? Please Reply ASAP!

[260717]

@fleursqueen hi i have it too since a year almost, it's a very nice camera for the price its definately worth the buy

[belcijan15]

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@belcijan15

There is no microphone jack on the Playsport 

[belcijan15]

@CrazyiPodReviewer

[ThePurpleDrumStick]

wich is better to record drumming video's? this camera or a jvc everio?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@ThePurpleDrumStick

This camera would be better.

[Wafuller]

@ThePurpleDrumStick How do I record for drumming?

[ThePurpleDrumStick]

@Wafuller with a camera

[BazarBro]

Please, please answer to this question! What format does the camera record in?

For example: AVI or WMV

[dinodon1]

Nothing but trouble since purchase ,software says it will upload to you tube or facebook but i was unable to upload in hd without separately converting videos with different software ,has shakey EIS feature . You get what you pay for i guess.

you also cant upload more than 100mb to you tube with the Kodak software.

[urbanboatbuilders]

Can you download video to Macs? I have a MacBookPro and I do video editing with iMovie.

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@urbanboatbuilders

The Kodak Playsport works great with iMovie!

[iklmmm]

how long can you record for with the memory card, and where do you buy the memory card?

[BiggerThinking1]

Hows the night vision?

[CrazyiPodReviewer]

@BiggerThinking1

There is no night vision on this camera. Check out my lowlight test video however
