There are three buttons on the camera, by pressing any of which you select a specific mode. In contrast to the older model, delays are noticeable.

Action camera X-TRY XTC150 ULTRAHD
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this action camera does not indicate either the type of processor or the quality of the sensor, the only thing that is known is the resolution of 12 megapixels. This is just enough for shooting 4K video. The external camera is very similar to the newer models.

Action camera X-TRY XTC150 ULTRAHD
Equipment
The package contents of the 150 model are not as diverse as those of the previous reviewed product of the company X-TRY, but it is still worth a look. Components:
- diving to a depth of 30 m in a waterproof box;
- battery up to 1050 mA;
- fasteners;
- tripod screw adapters;
- USB cable;
- a printed manual in one language (Russian);
- guarantee coupon.
The kit is fully packed in a rectangular cardboard box with a plastic window through which the camera is visible. It is pre-installed in the diving case.
The kit also includes a stand, holder, charging cable and instructions. Therefore, the kit cannot be called large.
Appearance
The appearance for most of the criteria is similar to the X-TRY XTC220. Especially when you look at the shape and size. But this model does not have a screen on the front side that displays information. Instead, there are two indicators on the panel, one of which is responsible for the battery level, and the second for the operation of the camera. On the front side there is a 12 megapixel camera and an on / off button.
The body, similar to other models, allows you to use the same devices when working with the camera.In the future, when changing the camera, this will save on equipment and improve performance without extra costs.
On the right is the button to enable the Wi-Fi function. It can also be used while navigating through the menus. And on the left are connectors for cables of different sizes, near which there is a microphone and a slot for inserting a memory card. There is a microphone on top and a battery on the bottom.
Control
The control principle is exactly the same as for other cameras from the manufacturer. There may be slight delays in selecting functions and scrolling through menus, but over time you can get used to them as they are not significant. There are problems with the translation of the menu into Russian, exactly the same as with the X-TRY XTC220 camera. And users ask only one question: "Why the manufacturer has not solved this problem, although there have been many complaints about this?" There is another problem in the form of a different design of the three cameras, the manufacturer did not think about this either. It would be easier in this case to bring everything into a single form. Perhaps the problems will be fixed to a new firmware version.
Using
All instructions for use are attached in printed form in Russian and English. During the initial setup, you must select Russian.
Suitable for use as a video recorder. Meets all his requirements. To start shooting in the DVR mode, just switch the normal recording to loop recording in the settings.
Advantages:
- removes in frost;
- shoots under water;
- the set includes an excellent waterproof case;
- a large number of connectors for connecting cables;

Customer Reviews
Buyers are satisfied not only with the price of the camera, but also with the quality of its shooting. I especially liked the "DVR" shooting mode. All the advantages overshadow the disadvantages to a greater extent, with some of which you can accept, because they are insignificant.

- Includes case for underwater photography;
- low cost.
Minuses:

Output
Each of the presented cameras is good in its own way. All of them have a low price, which can attract most buyers. Also, beautiful design played a role. A large number of components are so necessary for outdoor activities (for example, attachments to a helmet or a bicycle), so such cameras are suitable, first of all, for sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts. The manufacturer could not ignore the side of motorists, so he made the "DVR" mode. It is present on most of the latest models from X-TRY.
