Verdict

The Crosstour CT9900 is a high-performance action camera capable of recording native 4K video at 60fps and capturing 20MP photos through its 170° wide-angle lens with a bright f/1.8 aperture. Key characteristics include a responsive 2-inch IPS touchscreen, 6-axis electronic image stabilisation (EIS) that functions even at maximum resolution, and 8x digital zoom. It is highly praised for its extensive accessory bundle, which includes two 1350mAh batteries, an external microphone, and a waterproof case rated for depths up to 40 metres. While it offers excellent value, notable cons include poor low-light performance due to a lack of built-in flash, an exposed memory card slot and ports that lack protective covers, and a protruding lens that is susceptible to scratching if placed face-down.
