EKEN 4K Ultra HD Sports Camera Review

Photography is one of my all-time favorite things. I love taking photos everywhere I go. However, I’m not taking my Nikon camera anywhere near the water, and I’m definitely NOT handing it over to 5-year-old Alice!! I was thrilled to be offered this little sports action camera from EKEN, a camera that is similar to a GoPro at a fraction of the price. The picture quality is EXCELLENT!!

The first thing that I did was hand 5-year-old Alice the camera and told her to “go make me a video”! The EKEN 4K Action Camera kept up with Alice and took some clean, crisp videos. Okay, so wanna see what’s important to a 5-year-old?? The sound is not very loud because I had this in a waterproof case and on the handle, which explains the rapid spin around. So, remember if this is how amazing a 5-year-old can make a video, think of what an adult could do!!

To switch modes for still shots, videos and to get to tools simply click the button on the front of the camera.

Click the lower button on the right side to connect to your WIFI.  This camera really is super easy to use.

In the tools you can set up so much! Video resolution, looping video, time stamp, exposure, photo resolution, burst photo, time lapse, continuous lapse, power frequency, language, date & time, sound indicator, upside down, screen saver, power saver, format, reset, version.

EKEN H9R comes with a waterproof case that’s well-fitting and tightly sealed. We’ve used this in the ocean and I can say with 100% confidence case truly protected my camera. The case closes tightly and securely, it’s not going to accidentally come open, even when Alice is holding the camera in the water. The case is crystal clear with easy to find and use buttons. EKEN H9R is waterproof to 30M!!

Charging is quick and easy. I found that the camera was fully charged in about 3 hours. Added bonus? The EKEN H9R comes with two BATTERIES!!  Using the 4k feature I can get a full 90 minutes of recording from each battery!

EKEN H9R, Ultra HD 4K Waterproof Action Camera comes with a ton of goodies besides the double batteries. Charging Dock, Selfie Stick and 28 Mountings Kit.

[ReviewDisclaimer]

Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨

Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral.

Welcome to my glamorous life.

Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting.

Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past.

This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge.

“Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”
Poof. Gone.

“That product review with beautifully staged shots?”
Vanished into the ether.

Now posts look like:

Step 1: Do the thing
Step 2: [image missing]
Step 3: Trust me

Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes.

And don’t get me started on the links.

Nothing keeps you humble like clicking a reference and landing on:

Error 404: This business has retired to Florida.

Apparently half the companies I worked with have closed, rebranded, or transformed into something called “Crypto Spoon AI Wellness Collective.” Time is wild.

So here I am, updating old posts like an archaeologist with Wi-Fi. Replacing images. Fixing links. Adding keywords. Whispering sweet nothings to Google like, “Please notice me. I have snacks.”

It’s not glamorous work, but it does make the blog faster, prettier, and easier to find. Which means more crafts, more reviews, more giveaways, and fewer digital tumbleweeds rolling through the pages.

Speaking of goodies…

So if you see me muttering at my laptop and chasing imaginary ghosts with a broom made of metadata, just know I’m not losing it.

I’m “optimizing.”

Which is blogger for: battling invisible spirits, resurrecting broken links, and bribing search engines with fresh content.

Totally normal behavior.
