Verdict

The GoXtreme Impulse is a budget-friendly action camera capable of recording real 4K video at 30fps and capturing 16MP interpolated images via its 12MP sensor and 170° ultra-wide angle lens. Its main characteristics include a 2-inch rear touch screen, built-in WiFi for smartphone control, and a removable 1050mAh battery, with versatile shooting modes like time-lapse, slow motion, and burst. Key pros are its extensive out-of-the-box accessory kit, including a 30m waterproof housing and a wrist remote, as well as its clear high-definition output via HDMI. However, notable cons include limited high-frame-rate options for 4K and a restricted external memory capacity of only 64GB.
