Try the next version, Clip 2, it may be better
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.

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

Doesn't live up to the promise in the description. In good light the picture quality was pretty good. However, the pictures were always of the ceiling or tilted. If it was dark out, you might as well not even use it. There was no way to see if the pictures being taken were at a good angle until you synced it to your computer. It took forever for pictures to sync to the online service, which I was not impressed with. I went for a long walk to see what kind of pictures were being taken when I was constantly moving. Not having high hopes, I was outraged to find out that it didn't even take any pictures for the whole 2 hours. I brought this to capture random moments while hiking or on vacation and I can't even trust it to take pictures. Plus everything was at chest level and not really good for POV.

Very cool concept with very poor execution.

The Narrative Clip is maddening. I wanted to love it. I loved the concept of it. But it's a disaster, especially at the price point. But once you realize that the price point isn't the end of the money you'll need to sink into this thing, you'll wish you'd never ordered it.

Let's start with the hardware:

- It's small. But still really obvious.
- The lens is not wide angle. This is a real problem. It will only take a shot of what's directly in front of it.
- The image quality is poor, even in bright light. In dim lighting, the photos are useless.
- The 'double tap' thing to take a photo / check battery remaining doesn't work particularly well. You'll find yourself having to do it a lot to get a response from the device.
- There's no off switch! Seriously. Supposedly putting it in your pocket turns it off, as does placing it face down on a flat surface. I have 500 black photos that indicate otherwise.
- It's not waterproof. So don't lifeblog if it's raining. So much for using it in Portland.
- Uploading can only be done via a micro USB cable. Better have wifi on as well. More on that later.

Thought that was bad? Let's talk software!

- Only apps for iOS and Android. The Android app is unstable, and not particularly intuitive.
- CLOUD BASED HOSTING ONLY! $9/month forever. Seriously. That's the only way to interface with the photos in a reasonable manner. What happens if Narrative goes bankrupt or gets acquired? What happens to thousands of your photos should either of these events occur? What if they decide to raise their monthly pricing even further?
- You can save them to your hard drive, but the EXIF data isn't shared! Nice! In other words, your photos cannot be organized automatically in software like iPhoto. Want 1,000 photos in random order? Then this is the device for you.

There are so many ways this can be improved, and I'm hoping the team at Narrative listens to the feedback.

Suggestions:

Improve the image sensor
Add an adjustable wide angle lens
Create desktop software that allow modification to certain parameters including shooting intervals, resolution (I'd rather take more photos at 2MP than be stuck at 5MP)
Allow desktop software to build time lapses of the photos shot.
Wireless charging / bluetooth or NFC based photo transfer.

Business Model: $239 for the device and $9/month for service? No. How about giving the device away for free with a two year contract? Charge $14.99/month for unlimited cloud storage w/ local backup via Narrative Clip for desktop. There's nothing new here. Cellular providers have used this model for decades. Take a page out of their playbook FTW.

In short, I'm tempted to give it one star, but I do like the concept of the Clip. Here's to hoping that v2 is a winner.

Sending the Clip back for a refund.

I gave it 3 stars because of the technology. Impressive! But... I doesn't come with any instructions! You have to track those down on the internet, and even then, they're pretty sketchy. Apparently, it's always on, unless you put it face-down or in your pocket, and then it's supposedly off. Why have I gotten over a thousand black frames, which I had to delete? If one wears it for 2 or 3 hours, it takes a half-hour to "download" to your C-Drive, then you have to find where it went. Then it takes forever to "create moments," which is done somewhere in the cloud. Nothing onscreen tells you anything except "creating moment;" it just putters on and on and on, until I unplug it after about an hour. Then, I find the "Meta" whatevers, 1, 2, 3. And voila, photos! Lots and lots of photos, which I have to cull down to 10 or 20 that are worth keeping. The photo quality is surprisingly good. So, the Narrative is a hassle to use, but it is fun to play with. Use it a lot and you will gradually get the hang of it,
