I received this as a gift and, after a few uses, I will be returning it. Lets see, where to start? The negative reviews above are correct in pointing out mounting problems, but it depends on how you use it. I wanted to use this cam to make videos of me riding my bike - both on the trail and ripping through the streets where I live. Because of the design - a relatively heavy camera sitting atop a pretty small mount results in a lot of bouncing and shaking. Watching the video made me more nauseous than watching the Blair Witch Project. There are a lot of mounting options, but none seem to fix this problem.

Further, image quality is lousy for the money spent on this camera. There are a lot of pixilated black spots that appear where bright spots are filmed - such as the sky or snow.

When I plug the camera into the computer to save my videos, there is no sound.

Lastly, when I plugged the camera into the television to watch my ride to the library, the RCA jack broke off and fell inside the camera. Here is another way to put it: by plugging the cord in (like a headphone jack), I pushed the internal part into the camera.

I had a lot of great expectations when I received this as a gift, but after a few uses, I am not happy with this product and I expect a full refund from Oregon Scientific.Get more detail about Oregon Scientific ATC 5K Waterproof Action Cam Flash Memory Video Recorder with 1.5-Inch Color LCD Screen, Still Image and Web Cam Capabilities (Blue).
