Third-party reviews

What we like about Crosstour CT9700

  • Native 4K video recording up to 50 frames per second
  • Generous accessory bundle including an underwater waterproof housing up to 40 meters
  • Comes package with two long-lasting 1350 mAh batteries and a dual charging dock
  • Responsive rear touchscreen interface providing highly intuitive menu navigation
  • Solid, high-quality physical construction featuring crisp and clicky hardware buttons
  • Built-in software distortion correction that removes lens fisheye distortion distortion
  • Excellent native 4K time-lapse sequence creation functionality
  • Multiple lens perspective modes with adjustable wide, medium, and narrow fields of view

What we don't like about Crosstour CT9700

  • Extremely low, muffled internal audio volume that is practically unusable
  • Lack of a built-in dedicated external microphone input port
  • Electronic Image Stabilization yields a visible edge-wobble effect and handlebar jitters
  • Highly pixelated, soft, and mushy video output quality when dropping down to 1080p
  • Accompanying smartphone companion mobile application crashes frequently during configuration
  • Lack of standard built-in tripod mounting threads directly on the base camera chassis

Verdict

The Crosstour CT9700 is a high-performance action camera featuring native 4K video recording at 50fps and 20MP still photography, powered by a Sony IMX458 sensor and HiSilicon HI3559 chipset. Its main characteristics include a 2-inch IPS touchscreen for intuitive navigation, advanced Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), and a waterproof rating of up to 40 meters with its included housing. Key pros include its versatile field-of-view settings (Wide, Medium, Narrow), Lens Distortion Correction to eliminate fisheye effects, and a comprehensive accessory bundle featuring dual 1350mAh batteries and a remote control. However, notable cons include poor internal microphone audio quality that is often described as unusable and EIS that can produce a 'wobbling' effect or jitters during intense vibrations.
