Noise Play 2 review: Budget action camera with flagship features, tools
From 4K videos, EIS, wide-angle lens, water resistant casing to an
affordable price tag of Rs 9,999, the Noise Play 2 is a great value-for-money
proposition in the action camera segment
Technology News: Having visited many exciting places across India, I wondered why I
never kept a pictorial record of my visits from the first time I started
exploring the unexplored. For action cameras, the Go Pro did cross my mind. However,
considering the price involved, among other factors, I chose not to go for it.
Instead, I started looking for a no-frills and more affordable action camera for amateurs. It was then
that I came across Noise Play 2 action camera.
An affordable price tag of Rs 9,999, optional accessory pack
with waterproof casing at Rs 3,999, and the strength to record videos in
ultraHD (4K) resolution are some of the reasons that went in the Noise Play 2’s
favour. I would have loved to take it out on a ride to the mountains, but that
will be for later. For now, here is my review of the device while running it in
city conditions.
In the beginning, the Noise Play 2’s small frame and cuboidal design made me
question its capability. However, soon after setting it up and pairing it with
my smartphone using the Noise
Play 2 app, I realised how innovative and technologically sound even such
little devices could be.
The Noise Play
2 sports a 2-inch LCD touchscreen, which also doubles up as a
viewfinder. The screen is good enough for changing settings and viewing saved
images and videos. However, due to limited brightness and pixels, it does not
do the job of a viewfinder exceptionally well. When paired with a smartphone
via in-built Wi-Fi, the camera shows live feed on the smartphone’s screen,
which is one way around the limitation. Interestingly, the Noise Play 2 app
also allows fetching videos and photos stored in camera wirelessly, thereby
easing the transfer process.
