No battery charge indicator
Only 8090 minutes of battery life
No memory card space indicator
Random compatibility with different Micro SD cards
MOV format not always recognised
Video sometimes saves without the sound
Mic saturates quickly
Video seq
Video doesn't “auto rotate” when positioned in a non horizontal axis you'll have to do this in software
Limited configuration of the cube (only a few basic options)
Not the highest bitrate for video (though quality is good)
Microphone prone to pickin
The only mount included is its built-in magnet. No microSD card is included for storage. Video quality is just OK considering the price. Video is split into 5-minute clips while recording
Abstract: This ridiculously simple but effective HD action cam is one such. It doesn't do as much as GoPro, but it is so compellingly straightforward and cool that I love it. The one-button operation is genius and the idea of equipping it with a strong magnet is cl...

Marketing: it's a beautiful thing, but only in small doses. Because when it takes precedence over technical understanding, you get the Polaroid Cube, a minimalist action cam whose three main qualities are, although appealing, lost in an avalanche of desig...
Easy to use, Compact and lightweight, Inexpensive, Easily mounted to anything metal
No conventional mount included, Video quality less than some phones
With its low price tag, we didn't expect the Polaroid Cube to perform miracles, yet we were pleased with the video quality (just try to keep things steady, unless you're actually in the middle of some action sport). We like the magnetic mounting idea, bu...

Who on earth is the Cube made for? This is not going to replace anyone's ultra-high-end action cam. GoPro does not need to worry.It's reliable for shooting stills and video — but so is your smartphone.I feel like this is the kind of thing that would be a...

Abstract: Photo by Anthony KarczWhen Polaroid sent me their minuscule Cube video camera, I was at a bit of a loss as to how to show off what it can do I run, which is about the least extreme sport ever My hobbies include writing and painting miniatures, and I doubt...
