THE EGO

The egg-shaped EGO is quite smaller than most action cameras we've ever encountered and so it measures 63.5mm in height, 30.5mm in length and 40.6mm in width while it weighs just 74g.

Here we placed the EGO right next to the Chameleon by Oregon Scientific and the S-50 Nitro Circus Edition by Rollei to showcase the difference in size.

The 3MP lens can record both Full HD and HD video at an angle of 135 degrees.

The mono microphone hole is placed right beneath the lens and right next to the activity LED (green for 720p, red for 1080p and blue for still pictures).

At the top we see the start/stop recording button, the power/on off button (can also be used to change modes and turn the WiFi on/off) and a small screen which indicates the current battery life, mode and the state of the WiFi.

On the right side there's a small rubber door which is used to cover the microSD slot, mini HDMI output, microUSB port and the reset switch.

Information regarding the EGO is printed at the rear.

Worth noticing is that the EGO includes a 8GB microSD card by SanDisk that allows it to record up to 85 minutes of Full HD video (not many models include a card in the bundle).

For this review we used the car mount send to us by Liquid Image (although the camera is inverted if used on the dash).
