First Impression / Accessories 
Action camera in very compact size. 
The first thing you notice when unpacking the JOBO JIB2  
is the comprehensive accessory package included. In  
Addition to the water-proof housing and head strap JOBO has 
even included a bicycle mount, a helmet mount, and a universal 
bracket. It is also far above standard to find included both a 
home-charger and a car-charger. An additional advantage is the 
fact that the included accessories seem compatible with other 
action cameras. Even a small bag for camera without housing is 
included. An AV cable, which allows for direct connection to a 
regular TV is equally included. This is often offered as 
optional accessory only by most other manufacturers.  
 
 
 

Product appearance 
At first glance the small and handy design 
remind of the market leader GoPro, but the 
finish of the camera makes a better and more 
solid impression. 
The water-proof housing (60 meters) is very 
strong-built and also protects the camera 
against drops during the action. The buttons 
are clearly marked and easy to use. The camera 
appears well designed and suited for heavy use 
in rugged environment. All connectors are 
protected with rubber covers, which gives good 
resistance to dust and spray-water even if the 
water-proof housing is not being used. 

 
 
USE 
Until today I have been a GoPro user. The user interface (UI) 
of the JOBO JIB 2 is an obvious plus. The UI is divided into 3 
sections. This is very helpful and allows for quick 
adjustments or for instant playback of new recordings. The 
well-placed buttons allow quick and intuitive handling for 
anybody – even in the frenzy of hectic recordings. This is a 
big advantage compared to the prevalent “ t wo button design ”  
of many other action cameras which inevitably leads to a 
cumbersome search for the requested feature. The built-in 
monitor also helps to find, adjust and control the proper 
viewing angle of the capture, just as much as it allows for 
instant playback of the recordings. 

 
I took the camera along for the snowboard 
holidays. Since playback is accessible with the 
press of one button it was always possible to 
view the last down-hill recording on the way up 
in the ski-lift to allow for better adjustments 
and fine-tuning for the next down-hill 
recordings.
