2 Seasons Down - and still impressed!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

I purchased the Oho goggles prior to the 2022-2023 ski season and have now used them for about 30 days over the last two seasons. Ive found the videos to be very high quality and easy to use (turn on off, change mode, record) with ski gloves (and sometimes mittens) on my hands.

The in-goggle LED light makes it easy to tell if the device is on and recording without needing to look anywhere but straight ahead and noting the color in your peripheral vision.

I've used them through varying conditions - cloud windy sub-zero days to warm sunny days and have found the battery and on/off record functions didn't waiver, diminish, or flake out as the weather changed.

ts great to always have the camera with me and ready to take a picture or record a video - unlike say trying to remember to bring an external go-pro like device.

All in all - I'm very pleased with this purchased. Definitely would buy another one day!

Pretty good, but some issues

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

I just received these OhO 4K Ultra HD Ski Goggles and I immediately discovered that the provided "silver mirror" lens is only appropriate for sunny conditions. The lens is much too dark for cloudy/stormy conditions (compared to a typical orange tint lens for such conditions). There does not appear to be any alternate, lighter, orange or contrast-enhancing lenses available for sale from OhO. (Even my old Liquid Image camera goggles provided lenses for both sunny and cloudy/stormy conditions.) It also doesn't look like there's any chance that any lenses for other frameless goggles will work with these goggles as there needs to be a cutout in the top middle for the camera.

I contacted the seller/manufacturer about this and they thanked me for the suggestion but there is no lighter lens available yet. I've rated the goggles fairly low because, without a lens suitable for cloudy conditions, I often won't be able to use them. (I often find myself skiing in overcast or stormy conditions while the fresh new snow is falling.)

Testing the camera functionality: It's a bit strange that the only way to power up the camera also starts a video recording! This is contrary to what the user manual says. You're supposed to press the camera button once to power up and press it a second time to start a video recording but that's not what happens. It always starts recording (with a red blinking light) whenever you power it up. That's a bit inconvenient if your intention is to take a photo.

Secondly, the double vibration to signal the start of the recording is loud, long and obnoxious (and yes, it's quite loud on the video recording too). They really should provide an option to disable this vibration signal as it's not necessary with the very visible red light inside the goggles. Or they should at least shorten the vibration signal so it's not so obnoxious.

Thirdly, the camera lens tilt feature is nice to have but, unfortunately, it's easy for it to get bumped down without you noticing. I'm going to squeeze a little adhesive pad in there to keep it from moving inadvertently.

Fourth, the camera doesn't always keep time. I haven't figured out when it happens, but the internal clock resets to like Jan 1st, 1999 or something (I don't recall the date) which of course screws up the timestamps on your recordings and makes it hard to find the footage you're looking for. Is it swapping batteries that does it? Don't know yet.

Regarding video quality, I've been using it at 1080p/60 for a few days in various mostly sunny conditions. (I can't use it yet on stormy or heavy overcast days because of the goggle lens being too dark to see well through.) Overall the video quality seems pretty good – however, I've discovered that on very bright sunny days, it will tend to overexpose – losing all detail in the snow. I've uploaded a sample 30-second clip of this. I found that I could adjust the exposure a bit in Final Cut Pro to make the footage usable, but it is over-exposed. It only seems to do this in very clear blue sky days with full sun.

One last thing I would ask for, it's just wishful thinking for a camera jammed into a pair of ski goggles, but it would be really great if somebody could incorporate some sort of good image stabilization functionality because of course you always end up with jerky videos while skiing/boarding.

Great Video and Easy to Use

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024

Color: Mirror Silver Lens -No WifiVerified Purchase

In my opinion, this camera goggle is the best way to capture your ski memories. It is easy to use and takes great video. My only complaint is that the reflective lens that comes with the goggle is too dark, otherwise I would have rated this product with 5 stars. OHO offers an orange lens that is great for all light conditions. Some of the purchase options on Amazon offer the orange lens. Get the orange lens. The field of view is restricted a bit on both sides due to the electronics of the camera, but I do not find that bothersome. The battery is replaceable and lasts for 2-3 hours of skiing if you are just capturing the skiing. I requested new batteries for my older OHO camera and their customer support sent two batteries right away, which was awesome. Overall, I highly recommend this product as long as you get the orange lens.

The strap broke out on my first use. It worked around my house fine, but when stretched over my helmet, the pin on the end snapped and i don't know how to fix it, rendering the whole thing useless. I do not know how to reach customer service. help!!!

Best video goggle I've owned.

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020

Color: Multicolor- No WifiVerified Purchase

After using these goggles for a full ski weekend, I would happily give a 5 star review. They are lightweight and comfortable, unlike the last set I owned. The buttons are easy to use, even with ski gloves. The audible beep and vibration make the recording process seemless. Downloading the SD card was effortless and the video quality was also much better than I was used to. Set up was easy as well. Battery life was excellent, I only needed one charge per day, but it was nice to know I had a backup if necessary. If I could make a suggestion, it would be that I would like to have some different lens alternatives. Other than that, these did exactly what I hoped, and a great value for the money.

HOW TO MAKE THE WIFI WORK

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2024

Color: Multicolor With WifiVerified Purchase

I bought the Wifi version and followed the included directions, but couldn't make it work. I couldn't even get the blue WiFi light to turn on. Thinking it was defective, I returned it and got another pair. Same problem. Finally an Amazon associate showed me how to contact the manufacturer via Amazon Messaging. After a few rounds back and forth, I got it working!

FWIW, the Customer Service at Oho was super helpful during this process. Very responsive by email (albeit during Asia hours) and helped me sort this out quickly. Thanks, Oho!

HERE'S THE MOVE:
1) DO NOT follow the directions that came in the package.
2) Turn on the camera as usual. This will start a video recording automatically. (This is a silly feature, but it's manageable.) Go ahead and stop the recording; you can always delete it later.
3) Press and hold the PHOTO button (lower button on the front of the camera) until the blue light comes on. It should vibrate two or three times in this process. The red power light will also stay on.
4) Go to your iphone's Wifi settings and join the camera's Wifi network.
5) Open the Vizen Cam app on your iphone and click on OmniDash. This should link to your camera.

Boom! Live video on your phone.

I think they finally got it mostly right

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

So I've bought 3 or 4 of these types of goggles over the years and have never really been satisfied with them, but this one seems to have finally figured out some of the major problems. For one, I can finally clearly see the light that lets me know if it's on or off. The buttons to turn them on or off are bigger and there's just one for video and one for photo. I like the feature where you can change the angle of the lens up and down. Both positions are too extreme and I've been afraid to try anything in the middle because of other reviews saying it gets shaky. I bought the wifi feature and thank goodness I bought the Asurion insurance because the directions that came with this goggle of course were horrible as usual. They didn't explain how to actually hook the phone app up to the goggle. But I called the insurance hotline that also offers troubleshooting helpline and they were able to explain it to me. It was nothing like the directions. I still had some issues connecting to bluetooth consistantly. The only reason I wanted to be able to connect to my phone was so that I could more easily tell whether I was actually filming or not, but since this model makes it obvious without hooking into your phone, I would have bought the cheaper model without this capability had I known. All in all, this is by far the best camera goggle I have ever used. Video quality is very good!!
