I haven’t written a single post in a long time. I decided to write one now for the next 18 years, just to make a good start for the new year.
I love digital products and also enjoy taking photos. One day, while watching the crowdfunding campaign for the Flu CSCloud S2 on Dog Dongdong, I heard about GoPro’s name in the sports camera market. However, the high price was enough to make me not consider it seriously. The idea of moving around with such an expensive device felt a bit too much. But then I saw that the Flu CSCloud S2 crowdfunding price wasn't too bad. I had used this brand's surveillance cameras before, so I had a bit of trust in them. I ended up buying it with a "just for fun" mentality, thinking of it as a toy for the next single.
The crowdfunding has ended, and they sent the purchase link for S1. It's expected that S2 will be released soon.

I opened the box on the day I received it. This is a pseudo unboxing.
The box design is somewhat similar to a phone, but the craftsmanship feels a bit cheaper, which makes sense given the low price.
There's a simple function introduction on the side.
Inside the box, there are stickers, a manual, and the device. I chose the sports version, which comes with a waterproof shell. There's also a driving version available without the waterproof shell.
Other accessories are quite basic—just a lens cap and a power cable, which aren't shown separately here.
The waterproof shell looks decent, and the official price is 119 yuan.
After opening the box, this is what I saw.
Side buttons.
Host debut.
On the side, there’s an HDMI port and a data line interface. At the bottom, there's a standard camera screw interface (I think it's called that).
On the right, there’s the power button and the settings button. At first, I thought the top button was the power button, and I couldn’t turn it on for a while.
Under the battery, there’s a TF card slot.
At first, I thought the capture button was the power button.
Removing the lens cap.
Trying to boot it up.
The screen is a touchscreen. Sliding to the right starts recording or taking pictures.
Swiping up brings up video settings.
Sliding left opens Wi-Fi and settings, and you can also choose driving mode.
Some settings interface screens.
The camera supports Wi-Fi connection to your phone via the Flu CSCloud app.
The first connection process was a bit complicated, but once connected, it worked smoothly.
After connecting, you can use your phone to take photos.
You can also adjust the camera settings from your phone.
You can trim the video, but the features are far from what was advertised. Functions like filters, background music, and others aren’t available yet. I guess these will come with future firmware and app updates.
Video playback on the phone looked very high-definition.
This is what the camera interface looks like.
**Experience Feelings**
Today I tried using it as a dash cam. The video was edited and compressed, but the original footage was still very high-definition.
However, the camera's performance is average. Although it's called a camera, its main purpose is still to record video.
It doesn’t have good focus.
Just kidding.
Even in low light, the quality isn’t great.
**To Sum Up**
As a sports camera, the build quality and video performance are worth the price. Its configuration offers advantages compared to other similar-priced devices. However, there are some drawbacks: the app functions haven’t caught up, and the battery life might be an issue in winter, as it drains within an hour. Also, the official battery is quite expensive. Still, if you're looking to try out a sports camera at this price point, the Flu CSCloud S2 is definitely a solid choice.
