Hi Steem people!

I love to shoot with my sj4000 (non wifi) action sports cam, it I pretty cheap version of GoPro easily found on eBay, aliexpress...
The cam was all you would expect from a sports cam in that price range, but what surprised me and made me do this post is an unfortunate event where I left the cam carelessly next to a burning candle; you can guess what happened next. The cam fell on the candle and I have figured it out only 15 min after it already happened.

The case melted pretty bad in the corner and at this time i think there is no rescue for the cam.

On my surprise the safety opening clip works as on first day.

This was all the damage done to the cam itself

And after cooling the cam I have tried to start it...and to my surprise...!

I was amazed! All data on the cam was saved and all functions are working as on day one! And all that in a cam that costs aroud 15$.
