Action camera X-TRY XTC150 ULTRAHD
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this action camera does not indicate either the type of processor or the quality of the sensor, the only thing known is the resolution of 12 megapixels. This is just enough to shoot video in 4k format. The outer camera is very similar to the newer models.

Action camera X-TRY XTC150 ULTRAHD
Equipment
The package bundle of the 150 model is not as diverse as that of the previous reviewed X-TRY product, but it is still worth a look at it. Components:
- diving to a depth of 30 m in a waterproof box;
- battery up to 1050 mA;
- fasteners;
- tripod screw adapters;
- USB cable;
- manual for use in printed form in one language (Russian);
- warranty card.
The kit is fully packed in a rectangular cardboard box with a plastic window through which you can see the camera. It is pre-installed in a diving case.
The kit also includes a stand, holder, charging cable and instructions. Therefore, the set cannot be called large.
Appearance
Appearance by most criteria is similar to the X-TRY XTC220. Especially when you look at the shape and size. But this model does not have a screen on the front side that displays information. Instead, there are two indicators on the panel, one of which is responsible for the battery level, and the second for camera operation. On the front side there is a 12 megapixel camera and an on/off button.
The case, similar to other models, allows you to use the same devices when working with the camera. In the future, when changing the camera, this will save on equipment and improve performance at no extra cost.
On the right is the button to enable the Wi-Fi function. It can also be used during menu navigation. And on the left are connectors for cables of different sizes, near which are both a microphone and a slot for inserting a memory card. The microphone is on the top and the battery is on the bottom.
Control
The control principle is exactly the same as that of other cameras from the manufacturer. There may be slight delays when selecting functions and browsing menus, but you can get used to them with time, as they are insignificant. There are problems with the translation of the menu into Russian, exactly the same as with the X-TRY XTC220 camera. And users ask only one question: “Why has the manufacturer not solved this problem, although there have been many complaints about this?”. There is another problem in the form of a different design of the three cameras, the manufacturer did not think about this either. It would be easier in this case to bring everything into a single form. Perhaps the problems will be fixed by the new firmware version.
Usage
All instructions for use are enclosed in printed form in Russian and English. During the initial setup, you must select the Russian language.
Suitable for use as a DVR. Meets all his requirements. To start shooting in DVR mode, just switch the normal recording to loop recording in the settings.
Advantages:
- removes during frosts;
- shoots underwater;
- The kit includes a great waterproof case;
- a large number of connectors for connecting cables;
- low cost.
Flaws:
- not the most convenient menu;
- poor translation into Russian;
- small battery capacity;
- the menu is buggy.
Customer Reviews
Buyers are satisfied not only with the price of the camera, but also with the quality of its shooting.I especially liked the video recording mode. All the pluses to a greater extent overshadow the shortcomings, some of which can be put up with because they are insignificant.

- Comes with a case for underwater shooting;
- low cost.
Minuses:
- poorly translated instructions into Russian;

Conclusion
Each of the presented cameras is good in its own way. All of them are distinguished by a low price, which can attract most buyers. Also, the beautiful design played a role. A large number of components are so necessary for outdoor activities (for example, fastening to a helmet or a bicycle), therefore, such cameras are suitable, first of all, for lovers of sports and spending the weekend outdoors. The manufacturer could not ignore motorists, so he made the “dash recorder” mode. It is present on most of the latest models from X-TRY.
