The YACDELO APEX is designed to make everyday action-camera recording more accessible.
Its compact 43g body, magnetic mounting system, 4K video recording, six-axis stabilization and Wi-Fi connectivity cover the essential workflow—from capturing footage to transferring it to your phone.
This beginner-friendly guide explains how to:
Prepare your camera
Select an appropriate recording resolution
Mount the camera securely
Improve stabilization
Connect to YACDELO CAM
Transfer and protect your footage
Maintain the camera after use
Menu names and available settings may vary slightly depending on the app or firmware version. Refer to the product manual if a setting appears differently on your device.
1. Charge the Camera and Charging Case
Fully charge both the camera and charging case before using APEX for the first time.
Starting with a complete charge helps prevent interruptions during:
Initial setup
Wi-Fi pairing
App connection
Camera-setting adjustments
Firmware-related operations
Test recordings
When used with its charging case, APEX provides up to approximately 240 minutes of extended runtime under specified test conditions.
This figure includes the additional power supplied by the charging case. It does not necessarily represent one continuous camera recording session.
What Affects Recording Time?
Actual runtime may vary depending on:
Video resolution
Stabilization settings
Wi-Fi use
Recording duration
Ambient temperature
Battery age and condition
For longer outings, record shorter clips and turn off Wi-Fi when it is not required.
2. Prepare a Compatible Memory Card
Use a genuine, high-speed memory card that meets the capacity and speed requirements listed in the APEX product manual.
A slow, damaged or unreliable card may cause:
Interrupted recordings
Corrupted video files
Card-error messages
Slow file saving
Missing footage
After inserting the card, format it through the camera or YACDELO CAM before recording for the first time.
Formatting permanently removes the files stored on the memory card. Back up anything important before starting.
Memory-Card Care Tips
To maintain reliable performance:
Do not remove the card while the camera is recording or saving a file.
Back up important footage regularly.
Reformat the card periodically after completing a backup.
Keep the card away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
Replace the card if recording errors continue.
3. Choose the Right Recording Resolution
YACDELO CAM supports compatible recording options including 4K30, 2.7K30 and 1080P30.
Each resolution is suited to a different type of recording.
4K30 — More Image Detail
Choose 4K30 when:
Image detail is a priority
You are recording scenery or travel highlights
You may crop or reframe the video during editing
You have sufficient storage space
4K files are larger and may take longer to transfer or edit.
2.7K30 — A Balanced Option
Choose 2.7K30 when you want:
Good image detail
More manageable file sizes
Some flexibility for editing and cropping
A balance between quality and storage use
1080P30 — Practical for Everyday Recording
Choose 1080P30 for:
Longer recording sessions
Faster Wi-Fi transfers
Easier smartphone editing
Everyday social-media content
Reduced storage use
The highest resolution is not necessary for every clip. Select a setting based on how you plan to record, edit and share the footage.
4. Mount the Camera Securely
APEX supports magnetic point-of-view mounting for quick, hands-free recording.
Position the camera so the lens is level and the subject sits naturally within the frame.
Before You Start Recording
Check that the magnetic mount is fully attached.
Make sure clothing, straps or accessories do not cover the lens.
Use live preview to check the recording angle.
Test the mount with gentle movement.
Add a safety attachment for fast or high-impact activities.
Magnetic mounting is convenient, but the attachment method should always match the activity.
Do not rely on a light-duty attachment in situations where a falling camera could be damaged, lost or cause injury.
5. Improve Stabilization Results
The built-in six-axis stabilization helps reduce visible camera shake, but mounting and recording technique still affect the final result.
For smoother footage:
Keep the mount tight and close to your body.
Avoid loose fabric that allows the camera to swing.
Use smooth turns instead of sudden direction changes.
Keep the lens clean.
Record in adequate light whenever possible.
Review a short test clip before beginning a longer activity.
Low-light scenes often require slower exposure, which can make movement appear less stable.
When recording in darker environments:
Reduce rapid movement
Walk or turn more smoothly
Use available lighting where practical
Check a test clip before continuing
Stabilization improves moving footage, but it cannot remove every bump, vibration or sudden movement.
6. Connect APEX to YACDELO CAM
The YACDELO CAM app allows you to control compatible camera functions from your smartphone.
You can use the app to:
View a live preview
Start or stop recording
Capture photos remotely
Browse camera files
Download photos and videos
Delete selected files
View downloaded media
Adjust compatible camera settings
How to Connect
Power on the APEX camera.
Enable Wi-Fi on the camera.
Open the Wi-Fi settings on your phone.
Select the camera network, usually identified by a YACDELO name.
Enter the camera’s Wi-Fi password if requested.
Open YACDELO CAM.
Select the camera and connect.
The camera creates a direct Wi-Fi connection and may not provide internet access.
If your phone displays a warning, choose to remain connected to the camera network.
If the App Cannot Find the Camera
Check the following:
Camera Wi-Fi is enabled
Your phone is connected to the correct camera network
YACDELO CAM has the required permissions
Nearby-device, Wi-Fi or location access is allowed
A VPN is not interfering with the connection
Automatic mobile-data switching is temporarily disabled
The phone and camera are close together
Some Android versions require location or nearby-device permission to detect Wi-Fi networks. This permission is used for the camera connection rather than physical-location tracking.
7. Use Live Preview Before Recording
Live preview helps you check the composition when the camera is worn or mounted where its screen is difficult to see.
Before recording, confirm that:
The horizon is reasonably level
The lens is not covered
The main subject appears within the frame
The camera angle matches the activity
Important details are not too close to the edge
Clothing or equipment will not block the view during movement
Wi-Fi preview may show a slight delay. It is most useful for composition and setup rather than precise timing during fast action.
Record and review a short test clip before beginning an important or lengthy activity.
8. Record Short, Purposeful Clips
Beginners often leave an action camera recording continuously and later have a large amount of footage to review.
