Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?

Kitvision says:

To venture is to dare; to live, discover and collect experiences. Our cameras are small and robust enough to document every adventure without changing the way you explore.

Ultra HD adventure is yours for the taking with the Venture 4K Action Camera; just mount and go; forget you're even recording, freeze the action in 16 megapixels, and share your shots via Wi-Fi.

From Kitvision:

Native 4K resolution video

Mount it or pocket it, then capture it all in an instant without distraction. The Venture 4K records in Ultra High Definition, with a premium image sensor and 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. Plus, with the included waterproof case the Venture 4K records in UHD to depths of 30 m so there's nothing stopping you from jumping in now and reliving the feeling later. Experience the action again just as life delivered it, in high definition.

Wi-Fi connectivity

The Venture 4K has Wi-Fi built-in giving you wireless connectivity and ultimate control at your fingertips. Use the 'app' to control and play back footage, live stream the action or use your smartphone or tablet for ultimate shot setup and shooting control.

Capture 16 Megapixel photos

Capture the biggest moments; the Venture 4K Action Camera has an impressive 16 megapixel photo mode and 170° ultra-wide angle lens for full capture wherever you go. Mix it up with multiple photo modes, including Burst Mode and Time Lapse, and freeze the action as it happens.

Built-in 1.8 inch Touch Screen LCD

The built-in 1.8' touch screen LCD allows you to find and view your shots or line up the next. Easy touch screen navigation means you can navigate quickly and optimise the settings to match every experience.

Waterproof case

Use the included waterproof case when you're riding the waves, when your adventures take you to depths of 30 m or record from your handlebars on the muddiest trails.

Mounts & accessories

The Venture Action Camera comes with an extensive range of mounts and accessories so you're prepared from the word go. Whatever the action, the Venture range is small and compact so once it's recording you can forget it's there and capture for ultimate high definition playback later.

Very similar to a lot of other action cams out there, buttons feel more solid than cheaper units.

Video quality is poor, sound quality is poor.

You can buy a camera for less than half the price that's much better.
