Overall, a solid camera. Got this for trail walks and although some fo the features are a bit overkill for this, it did make me smile.
You’ve got plenty of attachment options, I prefer the clip thats included as it reduces the bounce of the footage.
The camera easily rotates for a range of quick shots, and the mini screen helps ensure you can set this us remotely and capture the desired image. For trails solo this is great, as it makes taking solo photos easier, or recording solo videos with this propped up on a rock. Worth mentioning that you do also get a small tripod in the box too.
Some settings seem a bit overkill – like the police lights and siren. Maybe good for attracting attention if I need help, but otherwise just quite funny to use, and terrifying when I accidentally press it! Video footage has little noise, and the stability is good. Comes with a good size mini SD for transferring video content.
The body camera set includes the body camera, tripod, user manual, back clip, lanyard, and 128GB micro SD card. The net weight of the camera itself is 60g which makes you feel like carrying nothing even if you are hanging it on your neck or clipping it anywhere on your body. A complete charging time is approx 3 hrs and it can continuously be used for approx 6 hours.
The operation is very easy and the user manual helps a lot. The little screen on the camera is 1.3 inches and is 1080 HD resolutions with night vision capability. The camera can rotate 180 degrees which is an interesting feature. Other than using it as a body camera to enhance security, it is also a good casual video shooting gadget. It comes with a little tripod where I can set it up on a hard surface to do video shooting. The default video length is 15 minutes but I can set it from 5 minutes to max 20 minutes intervals. When the space of the micro SD is full, it will auto-overwrite the oldest video. The video contents can transfer to windows, iOS using a memory card reader. I find this small little gadget useful as a security body camera or a little video shooting gadget.
The Mini Body Camera has been incredibly useful for me, especially when entering homes where there might be issues. The 128GB storage ensures I have ample space for recording, and the 1080P resolution provides clear footage. The rotation lens is a fantastic feature, allowing me to adjust the camera’s angle easily, and the night vision capability is a great addition for low-light situations. With 6 hours of video recording time, I can capture detailed records without worrying about running out of space. It’s a reliable tool for protection and documentation, ensuring accurate records of interactions and preventing any potential false accusations. Highly recommended for anyone needing a dependable personal body camera.
My partner pestered me for this Boblov A26 Mini Body Camera. He had the idea he’d be able to video night walks and take pics of barn owls and other nocturnal wildlife. However, though it displays on the screen, night vision cannot be recorded but ‘low light’ can be.
‘It’s a handy thing to have though’, he assured me. ‘How so?’ I said. ‘Well, you know I’d quite like a bike? This camera could be used like a dash cam to get footage of….well, of incidents.’
‘You know, I get the feeling there’s something you’re not telling me…’ I said. ‘Have you bought a bike?’ ‘No’, came the reply. ‘I reckon I could turn this into a small business. You know, become a private investigator.’
‘Would that involve a bike? I mean, I’m not ferrying you around in the car.’ ‘Hmm – well only on big jobs, I thought you might’, came the reply. ‘So, Columbo, what do you think of the camera then?’ I said.
‘It’s inspirational’, he said. ‘Easy to use, decent quality footage. Well, it gets you thinking, doesn’t it? I could be ‘Incognito down the Lido’. Lost dogs and dalliances a speciality. Actually, I’m working on an ad for the local rag as we speak – ‘Trust The Shadow to sort it’…
This little camera comes in a sturdy little cardboard box with a picture of the camera on the front and some of its features on the side.
Inside the box you will find the body camera, a charging wire, a mini tripod, a clothes clip, a strap and an instruction booklet and there is also a 128GB micro card included (already inserted in the camera).
The camera is very small and lightweight and the buttons are small and because the it is hard to see which button does, because the signs on the buttons are the same colour as the buttons themselves so you really need to learn to memorise what each button does.
The camera has full 1080 HD recording and can record for roughly 6 hours, it also has night vision and a 180 degree rotatable lens.
The memory card is very small and a bit fiddly to get in and out but luckily you don’t have to worry about this too much.
The screen gives a small clear picture that you can see if you are hand holding the camera or using the tripod. When you use the clothes/pocket clip depending which way you put it on the camera you either can’t see the screen and some controls because they are covered by the clip or because they are at the front and you can’t see them because the lens is facing that way.
You will need a a memory card reader to be able to transfer any footage to laptop/PC/ tablet etc which you will need to do if you want to keep any footage because when the storage is full and you are recording it will start overwriting the videos that are already stored on the card.
This little camera can be handy in multiple situations and would also make a nice gift for someone that likes portable tech or needs something that will help them feel safer when out and about.
This is a great protection camera, video quality amazing, night vision and motion sensor as well. Easy to use, good quality video and audio. Can use as a dashcam also. Very practical and reliable. Easy to download onto computer. Light weight and discreet.
As the world has gone crazier and crazier, you can easily take the blame in different situations unless you can prove your innocence.
I like to carry this camera with me almost everywhere I go, for personal safety, which will potentially save me a lot of headaches if involved in unpleasant situations.
The camera is very light and comes with a clip-on adapter which allows for the camera to be hooked on my clothing or anything else I would want it to be attached to.
It is very easy to operate and its main functions which you would want to quickly activate in case of an emergency, like taking photographs, videos or voice recording, can be activated at a press of a single button.
Anything the camera records gets stored on a memory card which can be easily taken out and connected to a laptop via a memory card reader/ adapter.
The camera produces full HD images, of 1080 megapixels resolution, and can rotate 180* to cover almost every angle in front of me.
A very interesting feature of this camera is the emergency button which sets off red and blue lights accompanied by a police siren which can be a deterrent in emergency situations.
It is rechargeable via its USB cable and also comes with other accessories like a flexible little tripod and a strap to make the camera even more portable.
I am happy with this camera and I like to have with me almost all the time ready to be used when necessary.
I have had a number of very close calls in the past where drivers have not seen me, and calved me up so badly that I have to take emergency evasive action to avoid being knocked off my bike. Most of the perpetrator’s just drive off when the lights change, or there’s a gap in the traffic, as if nothing has happened.
Using a couple of one and a half inch Jubilee clips, I have now fixed the small tripod that comes with this brilliant little body-cam to the handlebar’s of my bike, and I simply screw the cam on to the tripod before I set off for work and simply unscrew it when I get there.
(I did try wearing it clipped to my jacket lapel but it moved around way too much, and the handlebar solution turned out to be much better)
There is room for about 6 hours footage on the 64GB micro SD card that is included with the camera, so it easily covers all my trips to and from work for the whole week, and it’s reassuring to know that if something nasty did happen, that wasn’t my fault, I would have the crystal clear, 1080P footage quickly available to show to the police.
Very happy to recommend this versatile little body-cam.
-very lightweight, barely notice it clipped on my jacket
-rotating lens takes care of the typical security camera problem of “clipped in, pointing too up/down, can’t adjust” problem
-decent battery life
-good build quality
-not the highest quality footage (or photos), but good enough for vlogging or light safety uses
-a pretty good value
CONS
-removable memory card: this means this isn’t a camera suitable for law enforcement (or even security guards)
-no protection for the ports (a silicone flap would be a better idea)
-buttons are small, and don’t have the best labels (so a little memorisation work is necessary, if you don’t want to take it off and squint at the buttons, especially if it’s dark). Voice prompts can be helpful (but also a hindrance, if you are trying to be unobtrusive)
-putting on the clip obscures the screen (an issue with every body camera I’ve used)
NOTES
-I appreciate the tripod, but it really is too small and flimsy to use in anything but the most ideal of conditions (quiet room, solid surface)
-I can see this being used for vlogging, more than I can see it being used for security purposes. The IR illuminators are something that most vlogging cameras don’t have, they could be used creatively.
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros

The BOBLOV A26 Mini Body Camera is an excellent gift idea for those in need of reliable recording and evidence collection. With its impressive 128GB storage and 1080P resolution, this compact camera delivers clear, high-quality footage, while the rotation lens offers versatile recording angles. Its night vision capability ensures dependable performance in low-light conditions, and the 6-hour video recording feature makes it suitable for extended use.
Designed for ease of use and practicality, the BOBLOV A26 comes with a tripod, enhancing stability for various recording scenarios. Whether it’s for someone in a service profession, delivery work, or anyone who needs to document activities, this mini body camera is a thoughtful and functional gift. It combines advanced features with compact convenience, making it a valuable tool for personal or professional use.
The camera comes with an instruction manual which is generally clear and understandable. Operating the camera is quite intuitive once you have found and identified the control buttons. These buttons are very small and could be an issue if you have large clumsy fingers. You get voice confirmation or beeps as you perform actions.
The camera has a good solid feel to it. It is compact and easily portable. A carrying strap is provided along with a mini tripod. The tripod is sturdy and stable enough for indoor use but not really suited for use outdoors.
Using the camera for audio, video and image recording is easy. The quality of all three is good. I couldn’t see how to review or delete recordings. However once connected to a PC (via the USB type C to type A cable), the PC treats it like any other USB storage device, providing full access to the files. You could also remove the included 64G memory card and connect to the PC with a card reader. But why bother. You can upgrade the memory card up to 256G if needed.
There is a menu button the front which provides access to configuration settings. The only one I used was the date and time. Unfortunately you have to accept the US Month Day format. The only way to exit the menu appears to be by powering off the camera.
I hope you found this review useful.
If you have a question, I always try to respond when Amazon forwards them to me.
Review of “BOBLOV A26 Mini Body Camera 64GB with Rotation Lens, Tripod, 1080P Small Body Cams with Night Vision, 6 Hrs Video Recording, Personal Body Worn Camera for Service, Delivery Recording, Collect Evidence”, currently at 39.99:
This is a good quality bodycam for the price. It comes with 64GB MicroSD card, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, removeable clip mount (that can go on front or back), and a lanyard.
The camera swivels 180 degrees so you can adjust it to your requirements, and it also has IR emitters to help in low light situations. It records at 1080P, it is a slightly low bitrate, but it is good enough for its intended use – it doesn’t have any motion stabilisation, so this isn’t an alternative to an action camera like a GoPro, but this it is a fraction of the price.
Overall good product and good value.
Body Cam
Camera comes with clip, 128Gb TF card, USB lead, strap, belt holder, mini tripod and instructions.
Camera is very small (11*4*2cm) and lightweight (65g without clip). Screen is tiny (2.5*2.5cm) and gives a clear picture and settings. The ports (USB-C, memory card) are uncovered.
Simple buttons on each side & front to activate key features – audio, photo or video footage. These have small symbols – so not easy to see (& rely on experience). Lens will rotate through 190 degrees at the top.
Picture & video quality at 1080P is good enough for the price,
Only real negative is lack of lock button, so to easy to switch on/off. Generally the buttons are very small.
Arrives in plastic liner in cardboard box. Instructions are ok – diagram pictures a bit small.
