What we like about Apexcam M80 Air

  • Excellent value for money and highly affordable for budget-conscious buyers.
  • Comes with a generous bundle of accessories, multiple mounts, and a carrying case.
  • Includes two rechargeable batteries, providing a backup power source out of the box.
  • The included waterproof dive housing performs reliably underwater up to 40 metres.
  • Features a user-friendly design with intuitive button and menu navigation.
  • The bundled external lapel microphone provides decent alternative audio quality.
  • Good entry-level camera choice for children, beginners, or high-risk environments.

What we don't like about Apexcam M80 Air

  • Disappointing image quality with complaints of washed-out colours and shifting tints.
  • Advertised 4K resolution relies on interpolation rather than true native resolution.
  • 1080p footage quality appears poor and resembles upscaled lower resolutions.
  • The internal companion mobile application and Wi-Fi interface can be glitchy.
  • The bundled instruction manual is poorly organized and difficult to read due to tiny text.
  • The companion remote control accessory lacks water resistance.

Verdict

The Apexcam M80 Air is a budget-friendly action camera equipped with a 20MP CMOS sensor capable of recording 4K video at 30fps and capturing 16MP to 20MP still images through a 170-degree ultra-wide angle lens. Main characteristics include a 2.0-inch LCD screen, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for smartphone pairing via the Live DV app, and a comprehensive accessory package. Prominent advantages include its highly affordable price point, an included IP68 waterproof housing rated for depths up to 40 meters (131 feet), a 2.4G wireless wrist remote control, and dual 1050mAh rechargeable batteries that offer extended shooting times. However, notable downsides include lacks in advanced stabilization, a micro-USB interface instead of USB-C, and user reports of interpolated or subpar low-light video quality that falls short of premium action cameras.
