Why We Like This Product (Reviewed by the YPC Team)
At our activity centre at YPC, we often see first time buyers looking for an action camera that is easy to understand straight out of the box. What we like about the Xilecam model is how approachable it is. The dual screen setup makes framing and playback simple, especially for younger users or beginners.

A range of mounting accessories is included, making the camera compatible with helmets, bikes, skateboards and other equipment. This allows users to experiment with different angles and setups without purchasing additional mounts.
The included 32GB memory card allows immediate use straight out of the box.
