Kaiser Baas X300

VIDEO. The Kaiser Baas X300 takes good video, at a quality like nearly all Action camcorders. Pictures were sharp though not as much as the better models, which means you can see much but not all details and subtle patterns in the image. In low-light situations, the video was good: quite viewable but not as bright or clear as the better models. It captures Ultra HD video at 3840x2160 at 30 frames per second (fps). It has an above-normal frame-rate mode 1280x720 at 120 fps.

AUDIO. It captures fair audio in mono.

PHOTO QUALITY. In Photo mode, it captures at best 12-megapixel stills with merely fair quality.

LENS. The lens has a fixed focal length; it has no zoom capability.

IMAGE STABILIZER. Shooting in well-lit scenes, this model did a good job of minimizing the effects of camcorder shake.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. It survived our repeated-drop test. It has a large 2-inch LCD, which has good quality that lets you compose your shots and has decent playback of video. This model is smaller and much lighter than the average action camcorder.
