Third-party reviews

What customers like about Nilox Dual S

  • 4K at 60 fps gives smoother motion than 30 fps.
  • The touchscreen makes settings easy to change.
  • A second screen on the front helps with selfies.
  • At 68 g it is light enough to carry all day.
  • A dedicated bike mount is included.
  • Slow motion at 240 fps makes fast moments dramatic.

What customers don't like about Nilox Dual S

  • The 60 min battery runs out quickly on a long day.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so the phone cannot control the camera.
  • Night footage is poor, so low light is a weak area.
  • The microphone barely picks up speech.
  • There is no USB Type-C port, so charging needs an older cable.

Verdict

In full daylight, the 4K clips from the Nilox Dual S look sharp, and 60 fps adds smooth motion. A second screen on the front lets you check your framing for selfies, and the touchscreen makes settings easy to change. At 68 g it is light, and the 170 ° wide angle takes in a lot of the view. The 60 min battery is short, but a second battery in the kit helps on long days. There is no Wi-Fi and no phone remote, so every setting is changed on the camera. Night footage is poor and the microphone barely picks up speech, so daylight rides suit it best. It suits a daytime rider who wants a light, well-equipped kit and is not planning high-adrenaline sports.
