We recently gave you our full written review of Sony‘s 4K FDR-X3000R Action Cam which impressed us, and at the same time, left us wanting in some aspects. If in case you want to see more of it, here’s our video review showing its image stabilization, wind noise reduction, and more.

The FDR-X3000 is priced at Php27,999 which comes with the Live-View Remote.
