Able to shoot in 4 k, the Tectctc XPRO2 improves its illustrious predecessor with new features and an increasingly versatile design. It does not take more for our editorial to decide to be interested in this action cam and give you an objective opinion on its qualities and defects.

TECTECTC XPRO2: Design and external design

Despite its price at affordable prices, the construction of the Xpro2 Tectctc is nothing short of serious. The camera adopts a more compact and light frame than its predecessor released a year earlier. Thanks to a good assembly, but above all to the waterproof box that derives from it, the CAM XPRO2 action can drop up to 30 meters under water and resist dust or sketch. So you won't miss anything about your underwater adventures.

In addition to the waterproof box, many other accessories are delivered with XPRO2 TECTECTC and allow you to be used in different situations. You can therefore correct the camera on any type of support: helmet, bike, shoulder, surfboard or windshield of cars … The fixing system that equips XPRO2 is intelligent and allows you to put the bonds with great ease.

XPRO2 TECTCTC has a 2 -inch color screen, LCD display. The latter offers comfortable visibility to have a real -time return or make the different settings (sound acquisition, time, contrast, etc.). We appreciate the intuitive of the user interface, available in French. Another reason for satisfaction. Few (only four), they are easily accessible, which simplifies the grip.

Image quality

For its affordable price, the visual rendering of this camera that can film in 4K is generally satisfactory. On the material side, the XPRO2 TECTCTC incorporates a wide angular lens capable of sweeping 170 ° and therefore immerses in the heart of the action. To this goal is added an accredited sensor with 16 MPX. Their combined action allows XPRO2 to be able to film up to 4 k at a speed of 15 IP.

Other definitions are also available: 2.7 k at 30 IP, 1080 p at 60 IPS and 720 p at 120 IPS. For quick scenes, we are forced to drop from 1080p to 60 IPS or 720 p 120 IPS, to obtain a satisfactory surrender, the video flow with the other modes is limited. As for the photos, the XPRO2 TECTCC is going well, with a resolution of up to 16 MPX and a fairly faithful return of the details.

The stabilization of the image is not there. The quality of the sockets is therefore influenced by tremors and vibrations. Overall, the Tectectec XPRO2 camera does not make miracles, but still offers a performance proportional to its price. This is also valid for photos and videos, but also for the acquisition of the sound, even if the manufacturer has made a sound quality at the level of effort compared to XPR1.

TECTECTC XPRO2 dedicates the arrival of new functions compared to XPRO1. Therefore, depending on the conditions of acquisition and what is being taken up again, you can choose between the sports methods in 1080 p at 60 IPS or 4 k at 15ips, as well as some other options. In addition, this camera offers slowdower features, loop recording and timelaps mode, which allows you to put beautiful videos from the shots made at predefined time intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds.

You can also improve the quality of the catches by adjusting the parameters such as exposure or white balance. The addition of the delay and the Burst mode are other possibilities offered by XPRO2 and allow you to enjoy a complete user experience.

Another novelty: energy saving mode. This, combined with the integrated 900 mAh capacity battery, allows you to use the camera for more than an hour. By encouraging Wi-Fi connectivity, the TECTCTC XPRO2 can be controlled remotely via an Android/iOS smartphone or smartphone.
