Try the next version, Clip 2, it may be better
by Sweekruth (2 out of 5 stars)
December 21, 2015

The marketing video really intrigued me last Thanksgiving and I ended up buying it this year. The roadblock was the price point.

Positives
- Build quality is good. The feel is nice.
- The clip stays on its place, doesn't slip away or tilt.

Negatives
- I used it for two days: 1 day at my work and 1 day one my domestic flight and meeting with my friends. Of the 1840 photos, I am yet to find a single worthy photo.
- I have still not been able to view the pictures on the iPhone Narrative Clip app. (I have to first copy the photos to my computer and then connect it to internet to be available on a cloud, from where I will download it to my phone?) I guess that is the process.
- I am still not able to reset the clip to factory default.
- In Windows 7 all raw images are tilted by 90 degrees.
- The clip occupies 1.33 GB of space with 11 days of use (see screenshot)

I hope they have fixed all these issues with the new version.

Six Months of Candid Photo Fun
by PJL (5 out of 5 stars)
April 17, 2015

Although I was skeptical at first about whether I would use it much, I have used it much more than expected. I now have over 23,000 Narrative shots (albeit I need to trash a few). I have used it in the US, South America, and Central America. The candid nature is spectacular. Very few if any ask what it is. None have objected so far. Some think it is a medical device.

Unfortunately, I have stored most photos locally and not used the service. That is because I am usually in a high cost Internet environment or none at all. I wish I could load them locally and then upload the batch when I got home.

Reviewing the sequence of shots makes your brain recall things it otherwise couldn't or wouldn't.

Thanks for a nifty device. Now to Clip 2

A kind of wearable "found art" endeavor
by Mindme (4 out of 5 stars)
January 26, 2015

More of a 3.5 stars. The narrative clip is fun to use. It's a kind of found art endeavor. Download the photos to your computer and the browse and see what you got. You'll get a lot of blurry photos. You'll get a lot of grainy photos. But you'll get a lot of shots you would never be able to get as you walk around your city. The clip on the back is pretty robust but a couple times I've had it pop off my backpack where it was clipped. I've since attached a lanyard to the clip and then use the lanyard to help secure the narrative clip.

Not many people really know what this device is and most people assume it's a fitbit device. Certainly there are many ethical issues involved. Don't be a jerk and ruin the "life logging" fun for the rest of us.

Small but takes great pictures!
by JiffyJoe (5 out of 5 stars)

This is a great little camera. it took a few times of using it to figure out the best place to wear it and get the best pictures. I have used it around the house, at parties and while hiking through the Arizona Painted Desert/Petrified Forest. The pictures are remarkably clear and the camera is so light that you forget you are wearing it. It's easy to turn off, I just put it in my pocket or turn it face down on a flat surface. The uploading to the Narrative website is painless and you can edit the pictures before posting them to a shared folder. I love it and am looking forward to taking it on vacation this summer.

Very fun!

I've been using the Narrative Clip for a few days now and I love it. I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of sample photos before buying and I'm very happy with this product. I feel a lot of the reviews are harsh. People need to remember that this is the first version of this product and it will only get better with time. I feel it's pointless to have the Clip on all the time while at work or when doing mundane tasks, instead I clip it on when I go out and about. I've gotten some great shots while bike riding or just walking around a mall. It's true that indoor photos are grainy, however I typically turn them to b&w with instagram and increase the sharpness and it gives the photos a very nostalgic look. Being an avid photographer, people would often get irradiated with me always pulling out my iPhone to snap shots or lugging around an SLR so this has corrected the issue.

I find that clipping the Narrative to my sleeve is actually better then in the middle of a shirt/jacked like recommended and I get more straight on images. I decided to go the rout of not using the software and uploading to the servers, instead I just dump the images to a temp folder on my desktop and weed out the ones with potential. I'll then sync to my iPhone where I can add filters and upload to instagram. This might be tedious for some, but I can take a few minutes and post/tag a batch to upload when I have time. I've even clipped this to my dogs collar and have gotten some very cool shots. I welcome the odd distorted images that some times occur when a lot of movement is happening. My biggest worry was actually people asking me what the device is. When it's on my sleeve, people don't even notice it and if/when asked I just say it's a pedometer so I don't have to answer a bunch questions or get weird looks.

Some things I would like to see is the ability to adjust how often the images are taken. Would be nice for 5, 10 or 20 sec intervals that can be set with the software. The double tap feature for taking forced photos is very finicky and rarely works for me, but then again, that's not what this was designed for. Check out my instagram for samples: IdeaAttic

Not a gadget for me.
by KJuice (2 out of 5 stars)
March 2, 2016

I thought this would be a good gadget to chronicle my trip to Prague. It simply did not do the trick for me. Photos were blurry, and it rarely captured anything. I thought it was supposed to be a photo every 30 seconds. It took one like every 5 minutes. I also attempted to double tap many times and ended up with nothing. I returned it.

Great idea, poor quality pictures
by Matt Schneider (3 out of 5 stars)

Great idea, poor quality pictures.

I love the idea of this and even though I'm not horribly happy with the picture quality, we continue to use it for fun. The indoor pictures are very grainy; outdoor high sunlight photos are better, but still not even cell phone quality.

The iPhone app leaves a lot to be desired, it's hard to flip through pictures slowly. You can download to your own computer, but the orientation is not fixed before export so going through thousands of photos that are rotated all differently is not very fun.

Awesome Camera!!!
by World Traveler (5 out of 5 stars)

I was skeptical as I have been debating on buying this for months. I wish I would have bought it sooner. I took this to Hawaii this past month and I was amazed at the quality of the pictures. Yes you will get some shots you don't want but who cares. You will get some great pictures that you will have missed. I am truly glad that I took the chance on this device.

I guess I'm not the target buyer (but who is?).
by Patrick D (1 out of 5 stars)

The makers of this product believe people want to be constantly recording the mundane events of their daily lives. If that's what you want, it's a perfect product. If you are thinking, like I was, that this would be great for travels and adventures, don't bother. This requires regular access to a computer and internet connection in order to be anything but a major pain to use, meaning its only real use would be for everyday wear, when you can regularly connect to the cloud-based system it requires (and which they want to charge you for after the first year, by the way). Basically this camera is a good idea but the company misunderstands how a large market of people might want to use it.
