Chilli Technology Bullet Action Cameras

[Distorted Vision]

I was considering ordering this:

I read mixed reviews of the company. Anyone any experiences?

I've got one but hardly ever use it - they're OK, number plates are easily visible etc.

At some point in the next few weeks I'll advertise this and a rear camera light I've never used.

Just because it does 1080p and has up to 4hours battery life, don't be fooled into thinking the 2 things happen at the same time unless it specifically says so.

They are offering a spare battery for an extra £6. I actually want it to use as a rear facing helmet camera. But I think I'd need 2 spare batteries as my rides often exceed 6 hours.

I'd be happy at present if they answered the email, trying to purchase one over a month ago.

No response to the earlier phone call either.

Yeah I read their Customer Service is abissmal which deterred me from buying from them.

I tried to buy from them.

I know nothing about the camera, but I would be concerned about buying from a company that doesn't respond to emails/calls about buying their products, if that's what they are like before you buy what are they going to be like after they've got hold of your money. Go find yourself the same camera from China & save yourself money.

Yeah that's a good suggestion. My searches on eBay and Ali Express have been unsuccessful.

£99 for 720x480 resolution? Nope.

I ordered from them and waited ages for delivery. Eventually I emailed them and the owner actually phoned me to tell me that the order had been sent, but he would send another. They are insured against stuff going missing in the post. He also said he would refund the money for the spare batteries I had ordered, as a gesture of goodwill. My order was delivered a couple of days ago, with a 'Sorry again' message.

I've already fitted a rear facing Garmin VIRB to my pannier rack:

Works well for me.

You can't get much fairer than that , but still would be better if they improved the customer service levels as well

Must admit i am thinking about getting one , seeing as my Virb has packed in again and now Garmin are saying not warranty and not playing ball in admitting the product is faulty and not fit for sale if it can't last more than 18 months at a time with light useage
