GNARBOX - Portable Backup & Editing System for Any Camera, 128GB

Got this through their kickstarter campaign. Totally worth the wait this box is lightning quick and so easy to use. I have loads of photos, GoPro vids and drone footage that I never get round to looking at, this just makes it so easy to sort and edit on the go. Great for traveling and with new features been added weekly it can only get better.

Mine arrive quickly but was faulty. The battery was past the point that it could accept charge, something that hadnt been checked before sending out. The original manufacturer would not accept it for a replacement under warranty so i am sending it back to amazon and waiing for a refund as they do not offer replacement as far as i can work out.

Easy to manage backing up, with the option to preview and edit files using proprietary software. Wish I could go beyond this though to edit and create jpgs on the drive using lightroom.

I received my GNARBOX after waiting almost 2 years on Kickstarter, while it is still in its infancy and I can see the potential for it in the long run. I hope the team can push out updates quickly to make the editing more rounded, including things like titles, more audio options, copying from phones, support for larger HDD's and maybe even some accessories.I can see this begin used by anyone who goes camping or traveling and wants to be able to do some quick edits to put online, for a slightly more involved video workflow like basic blogs, vlogs etc there is much work to be done by the Dev team at GNARBOX. I can see them ramping up this tho once they have got all the backers products out and it is adopted by many more folks.I do however have one issue is that there wasn't a green lanyard in the box like there are in many of the pictures and videos during the KS project but this is so minor tho.

This has so much potential to be a superb tool for quick video edits in the wild and deserves to be a successful project but if I am honest it's not there just yet software wise. I'd been excited to try and this and so far I'm relatively impressed with it. However I personally wouldn't pay the full price for this in it's current state because it's missing some crucial functions and features for my use of it. Those features though are purely software and can be resolved hopefully.The device is compatible with SD cards micro and regular, USB ports for attaching card reader or hard drives, can even be connected to a PC to use as storage or to transfer backed up footage. You can view and store footage from many sources and watch them back on the phone or tablet. This isn't just a drive its a tiny computer without a screen. If a laptop is too big to carry around this is a great compromise.The editing is functional if a little clunky on a phone, selecting the clips you want isnt quite as good as it could be but its useable. .For me it's lacking some basic features that are a must have if your videos include any kind sound or speech.Editing photos is also possible and from what I can see raw is possible, you have good control over all aspects of the image which as a photographer means I can get the most from a photos with ease (although chances are I would export to my phone or tablet and edit in something else but at least I have that option with the gnarbox).Sound editing: So far it seems you can only have videos without sound together and put some music over the top. What if I have footage of me talking or want the sound included? Not currently possible (or my app is bugged).Sharpening/Structure: Basic feature that is sadly missing, for example my drone footage is shot with particular settings that require sharpening in post, the colour correcting is all there which is awesome but why no sharpening?Some more advanced features it needs in my humble opinion:More advanced sound features like levels on clips etc would be great.Transitions instead being restricted to a jump cut.With those updates I would happily give this 5 stars, its potentially a brilliant piece of kit for my uses. If you're just editing action footage with some music over the top you will be very happy. Anything slightly more advanced you may feel restricted.

Very happy, still getting to grips, but so far, perfect

It did not work

I bought one from the states before it was launched on Amazon. I had a problem with the heat sync and they quickly swapped it out. So 5 Star for service. I would have preferred to buy on Amazon because I got a bill from customs on an imported product and shipping costs. Ended up costing more than what Amazon is charging.The company are great to deal with, very informative and ready to help. They are taking ideas and converting them into software that works. Hardware is forever but software changes can happen weekly. Id say the hardware is great and the software is improving all the time. This for me is where it loses a star.Like other reviews here on amazon, I love the idea and I think it will be great. I have some reservations about software at the moment. At least that is being updated all the time.One thing to consider is carrying an external hard drive. I have a 4TB hard drive. I use Gnarbox to swipe all the files for the days fottage then back that up to the External Harddrive. This means that the Gnarbox is a great computer engine when used with my phone but I am backing up all the files to another drive when Im in the field. It means 128GB or 256GB doesnt really matter.

Recomendaría ampliamente este producto para todos aquellos aficionados a la fotografía y el vuelo en Drones, es el mejor producto para respaldar imagenes y fotografías sin necesidad de molestos cables.

Ok, i’ve Not had my Gnarbox long and am still finding my way around but so far I love what I see. I run a small B&B and accompany guests on motorcycle ride outs, skiing etc. I normally have a few GoPros with me. The cameras are running most of the day generating hours of unwanted footage. I like being able to edit out that unwanted footage while it is still fresh in my mind during say a coffee stop rather than wade through it at a later date when I have to go through it all again. Being able to pick out a few high lights to post on Social Media at the time is also a bonus. I know you can do it with GoPro Quick etc, but you still have to wade through all the footage and transferring large files from a GoPro to my phone via WiFi during a coffee break isn’t really an option. You can do that on the Gnarbox, edit in 4K and just transfer the bare minimum for uploading - brilliant.The Gnarbox has some neat editing features for both video and photo. I’d like to see more such as Video Transitions but the Firmware updates are ongoing so fingers crossed.The Gnarbox itself is well built and has a Tactile feel. Battery life seems good although I am always topping my mobile deviices up from a Power Pack or two so never run short on battery life.With me space is a premium and even on overnight or longer trips a Lap Top has given way to an iPad mini. This was a problem when it came to basic video management.The Gnarbox has solved that in one go, even allowing me to edit in 4K to boot.Mine is the smaller 128gb version but I have paired it with a popular brand mini 500gb SSD which solves that issue and takes up no space to speak of.Built in Card readers, USB 3, USB C are great features to compliment the latest Tech and get the most out of it. Then, when I do get home being able to plug straight in to my Desk Top and treat it like a Hard Drive makes transferring the saved content a breeze.At the moment I have no idea how it will cope with sub zero temperatures as our ski season is still some weeks away but I have my fingers crossed that it will Not let me down. I’ll update when I find out.

Arrived super fast! Easy to set up, had some issues with my gears compatibility and tech support was ace and speedy at helping me out with it. Everything is awesome, the only thing I can use a bit better was the editing software, but there is option to export into other more familiar editors to edit the RAW files. And tech took my impute for future software updates that they are working on. Was great to get my work edited and posted hours and days before the competition. Standing in the dirt on the side of a mountain, shoot, edit and post in minutes! Gets toasty when transferring large amounts of files, so don't stash it inside a bag or pocket.

J'ai été un peu déçu, car les photos de l'annonce laissaient penser que l'appareil possédait un écran de contrôle, or, il n'en est rien. Je cherchais un appareil pour décharger simplement mes cartes SD; Ce n'est pas le cas. Toutefois, bien que complexe, en utilisant son smartphone, on arrive à s'en servir.

juste parfait ! enfin des sauvegardes gestions et visualisations photos videos musiques documents rapidement et secure partout et en tout temps. Le PC devient accessoiresExcellent produit d excellente facture.
