Action Camera WiFi, Dual Screen Sports Camera M40TRW Review: 5K 30FPS Video & 50MP Photos

Introduction
The Action Camera WiFi, Dual Screen Sports Camera M40TRW promises a lot: stunning 5K video, high-resolution photos, impressive stabilization, and convenient features like dual screens and remote control. But does it deliver on these promises in real-world usage? I spent several weeks putting this camera through its paces, from capturing underwater footage to filming fast-paced action sequences. This review shares my honest findings, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the M40TRW.
Features
The M40TRW boasts a compelling array of features. The standout is undoubtedly the dual-screen design. The front-facing screen is perfect for vlogging and selfies, ensuring you always know what you’re capturing, while the 2-inch rear screen offers easy navigation and playback. The 5K 30fps video recording and 50MP photo capabilities are impressive, providing exceptional detail and clarity. Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) using a 6-axis gyro does a fantastic job minimizing shake, resulting in incredibly smooth footage, even without a gimbal. The included remote control adds to the convenience, offering wireless control up to 10 meters away. Wi-Fi connectivity allows for easy smartphone pairing, live view, and quick social media sharing. Waterproofing down to 100ft (with the included waterproof housing) makes it a versatile option for various activities. Finally, the 170° ultra-wide angle lens captures expansive views, minimizing distortion thanks to a high-quality 6-layer glass lens.
Performance
In terms of performance, the M40TRW exceeded my expectations in many areas. The video quality is truly outstanding; the 5K resolution captures incredible detail, and the colors are vibrant and accurate. The EIS is surprisingly effective, minimizing camera shake to a remarkable degree. Photo quality is also excellent, with the 50MP sensor capturing sharp, detailed images. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable and quick, making it easy to transfer files and view the live feed on my phone. The remote control worked flawlessly within its advertised range. However, I did notice some minor limitations. While the waterproofing works as advertised (with the housing), the camera can feel a little sluggish when processing high-resolution videos, especially when recording extended clips. Battery life is also a bit of a concern; you’ll likely need to pack extra batteries for longer shoots.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent 5K video quality, impressive EIS, high-resolution photos, dual screens, reliable Wi-Fi, included remote control, waterproof (with housing), 170° wide-angle lens
- Cons: Can be slow to process high-resolution video, limited battery life, slightly bulky.
Final Verdict
The Action Camera WiFi, Dual Screen Sports Camera M40TRW is a strong contender in the action camera market. Its exceptional video and photo quality, combined with its useful features and impressive stabilization, make it a worthwhile investment. While there are minor drawbacks regarding processing speed and battery life, the overall performance is excellent. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a versatile and high-performing action camera that can capture stunning footage in various settings.
