I received a  Vivitar DVR786 action camera to facilitate this review. I was not financially compensated for this post. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

 

A few weeks ago, Vivitar released their new DVR786 action camera. This is a nifty, rugged and affordable action camera this is great for those looking to capture special moments and travelers that do not want to miss out on any details. The DVR 786 which is available at Amazon, is available just in time for holiday shopping. It is a very small and lightweight camera that comes with a series of attachments to provide users with multiple ways to capture  videos.

The Vivitar DVR786 action camera comes with a wireless remote control, waterproof casing, bicycle mount, and helmet mount. Powered by a built in Lithium battery, this little camera is one tool you would like to have with you during your next trip or adventure.

This action camera is very easy to use and has different modes for the various camera functions that are accessed through different buttons on the camera (5 including the power button).

The Video Capture Mode

This is the default mode while your camera is on…To start shooting a video, all you need to do is aim the camera and press the shutter /OK button located on the top right of your camera and it will start recording. To stop the recording, simply press the same button one more time.

Photo Capture Mode

Your Vivitar DVR786 action camera can also take great still photos! To take a photo, just turn the camera on, quickpress the Power button in order to switch to photo mode, then press Shutter/OK button to take a photo. Really, this could not be easier to use.

To access more functions on this mode, press the menu button.

Playback Mode

You will use the Playback Mode to view your photos and videos. To access this mode, just turn on your camera and quickpress the Power button twice to switch to playback mode ( use the zoom in or zoom out buttons on the side of the camera to scroll through pictures and video files).

 

After the initial charge of your battery to full (the charge light will go off once it is fully charged) your camera is ready to use. I took my camera out to test and was really pleased with the video quality if you consider this action camera is priced at just $59.99. I was quite pleased and it does a very decent job.

I was a little concerned about getting this action camera under water, but the casing does an outstanding job at keeping the camera safe and dry. The DVR786 action camera is submersible up to 30-feet to give you the ability to shoot in water and action settings. Now when you want to take video or photos in the pool or shoot a video of your white water rapids trip to Costa Rica, you’ll be all set.

One thing you need to know is if that while you are using the camera, you need to make sure the microphone is not covered ( the sound is a bit muffled when using the waterproof casing).

Once you start recording, you might notice that the screen goes black after a while of recording and it might look as it is not recording, but it is….I am guessing the camera does this in order to save battery.

Overall the Vivitar DVR786 action camera is an easy to use, handy camera, that is very accessible price wise and that would make a great holiday present for these holidays! I think my 8 year old daughter is going to love it.
