" ... I know the S7 Edge plays back the 4K videos with no issue however my MacBook Air can not playback the 4K videos even after I upgraded to High Sierra that was supposed to have support for that format, codex or whatever. ...

" ... Note: Always make sure that you have the right supported SD card. ... "
" ... The battery life sucks, even with the ONE recommended memory card (make sure to check and get the right one, don't' use samsung evo). ... "
" ... You have to have the specific SD card that works with this camera. ... "

" ... It's a great camera and I got it strictly for the image stabilization but it only works in 4k 30fps. ... 4k 60fps also requires some HVEC or something. ... "
" ... Since I don't know what I'm doing, I used the default video settings at just a basic 1080p. ... Even the simple 1080 default setting looked really good watching the clips I took on a 24" 1080p monitor later. ... "
" ... Make sure the card can record in 4K. ... "
" ... The resolution is insane. ... "
" ... Underwater video (720 resolution--the "old" high-def) is amazing. ... "
" ... And the most amazing thing is the variety of resolution and fps settings. ... This thing can shoot 4K in 60fps! ... Or 1080p in 240fps! ... "
" ... I haven't tried 4k yet because it's a lot of memory usage, but 1080 is crystal clear and uber HD. ... "
" ... I've since bough at YI 4K+ and it's performance flawlessly. ... "
