CRN ey 2 i talentwerk External Product test Jobo Jib2 Feb 2012 First Impression Accessories Action camera in very compact size The first thing you notice when unpacking the JOBO JIB2 is the comprehensive accessory package included In Addition to the water proof housing and head strap JOBO has even included a bicycle mount a helmet mount and a universal bracket It is also far above standard to find included both a home charger and a car charger An additional advantage is the Fact that the included accessories seem compatible with other action cameras Even a small bag for camera without housing is included An AV cable which allows for direct connection toa regular TV is equally included This is often offered as optional accessory only by most other manufacturers Product appearance At first glance the small and handy design remind of the market leader GoPro but the Finish of the camera makes a better and more solid impression The water proof housing 60 meters is very strong built and also protects the camera against drops during the action The buttons are clearly marked and easy to use The camera appears well designed and suited for heavy use in rugged environment All connectors are protected with rubber covers which gives good resistance to dust and spray water even if the water proof housing is not being used USE Until today I have been a GoPro user The user interface UI of the2. JOBO JIB 2 is an obvious plus The UI is divided into 3 sections This is very helpful and allows for quick adjustments or for instant playback of new recordings The well placed buttons allow quick and intuitive handling for anybody even in the frenzy of hectic recordings This is a big advantage compared to the prevalent two button design of many other action cameras which inevitably leads to a cumbersome search for the requested feature The built in monitor also helps to find adjust and control the proper fvewing angle of the capture just as much as it allows for ant playback of the recordings I took the camera along for the snowboard holidays Since playback is accessible with the press of one button it was always possible to view the last down hill recording on the way up in the ski lift to allow for better adjustments and fine tuning for the next down hill recordings talentwerkay If in need of a bigger screen the JOBO JIB 2 can be attached to any modern TV by means of a mini HDMI cable for full HD playback The on screen menu is also shown via HDMI connection The JIB 2 has two separate buttons for video and photo This Saves precious time when adjusting between these 2 modes The required flash card format is micro SD I would always recommend a large capacity as changing such tiny flash cards can be a bit of a challenge in cold environments Both the camera and the waterproof housing have a tripod bush This is extr
