Eken H9 4K Action Camera Specification



Image Sensor: 
The OmniVision OV4689 is a native 4MP sensor. (picture is upscaled to 12MP)
That’s the same sensor used in the SJ4000+ by SJCAM.
The 4 MP sensor is smaller than the ones used in other new cameras like the 12,4 MP Sony sensor in Firefly 6S and SJ5000X Elite or the 16 MP Sony sensor used in Git2 and Xiaomi Yi.
Chipset:
The camera uses a Sunplus 6330M chipset, that’s a rather unique one. Most action cams rely either on Novatek 96660 or Ambarella A7.
Frame Rates:
  • 4K – 10fps – 25 fps (depending on firmware)
  • 2,7K – 15fps
  • 1080p – 60/30 fps
  • 720p – 120/60fps (depending on firmware)
Be aware that the labelled “4K” is not native 4K, it is interpolated. Easy to tell for this camera as 4K is more than 8 MP and the camera just has a 4 MP sensor. Other cameras such as SJ5000X eliteFirefly 6SSJCAM M20 or Elephone Explorer Pro also offer interpolated 4K.
Here’s my comparison of native 4K action cameras including the new YI 4K Action Camera:
Video recording:
.mov files; .h264 codec
data rate 35-44 MB/s tested while 1080p 60fps recording.
Lens:
The camera has a 170° lens, like most action cameras.
Connectivity & Ports:
Wifi is built in to connect with the app (Android & iOS)
It also offers a HDMI as well as an USB port.
Mic in via USB & A/V out via USB are not available!
 Recently the EKEN H9R was released which features a remote control
Battery:
The Eken H9 features a 1050 mAh battery.
The battery is a little larger than Xiaomi’s (1010 mAh) but the largest capacity still has the GoPro Hero 4 (1160 mAh). The SJCAM lacks behind with only 900 mAh.
Update: Earlier Eken models like this one have a squared battery, new models have rounded batteries! They are not compatible with SJCAM batteries any more!
Storage:
microSD of 16 or 32 GB are recommended; selected 64GB cards are supported, but not guaranteed; class 10 is recommended.
Display:2” Screen (320×240 resolution)
So that one is larger than the SJ5000+ 1,5″ screen.
