THE SJ6 LEGEND

Just like most action cameras the SJ6 Legend is shipped inside its waterproof housing.

Since the V8S by EKEN is among its competition we placed both right next to each other in their waterproof housings.

As you can see from the above picture the SJCAM housing is slightly better compared to that by EKEN since it has a secondary lock/release mechanism.

Without its waterproof housing the 82g heavy rubber coated enclosure of the SJ6 Legend measures 59mm in length, 41.1mm in height and 21.1mm in depth/width.

Although in terms of size the SJ6 Legend is almost identical to the V8S by EKEN its build quality is slightly better.

A total of 4 activity LEDs are placed at the front and top of the SJ6 Legend.

At the top we also have the start/stop recording and take stills button.

The 166 degrees wide angle lens is mostly used when using the SuperView feature (1080p resolution).

The power on/off button and its LED are placed on the right side right over the settings/WiFi enable/disable button.

Moving on the left side of the enclosure we find the micro HDMI video output, mini USB charging port (can also be used to mount an external microphone) and the SD card slot (supports cards up to 128GB in capacity).

The 2 inch rear LCD screen is nothing new in terms of size but it's not every day that we see touch ones used with action cameras.

At the base of the SJ6 Legend we find a 1/4 tripod mount and the battery compartment.

Unlike the EKEN V8S the compartment cover is connected to the enclosure of the SJ6 Legend.

SJCAM has used a 1000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery which according to them gives the SJ6 Legend a total of 130 minutes of life.
