Ok got the first video section of my review finished. Obviously my reviews are on going as I put my cameras through use and abuse before giving a final opinion.
Git1 @ gearbest
Sadly I didnt end up with the full kit, just the camera (and sent a waterproof case separately) as I want to test the remote, but Ill order one soonish.
Has setting to change for inverted recording, g-sensor, loop, motion and so on.
Likes:
-CASE, its not your cheap SJ clone case. Much nicer, the locking clip design is really nice.
-Camera just feels and looks better in hand that the other clones. As said elsewhere, Im noticing the same responses from people that I dont get with the other clones. The "hey, what camera is that? It looks really nice, not some cheap thing"
-the UI: It works, its simple and quick to change about anything. Havent tested the camera time lapse and burst yet (will this weekend) but have no worries about it as everything works REALLY WELL.
-Low light/night time use. Seems to be able to adapt to changes in lighting conditions faster and clearer than my C10. Both look the same after dark for video quality, but sudden light level changes the Git1 seems to just handle a fair bit faster. And video quality is nice for what it is.
-run time: Used it for an hour at one point, only lost one bar on the indicator. Others.....down to one bar left in an hour or less.
Dislikes:
-Only two so far, Ill update if I find anything else, is that there is nothing but the wvga resolution that has 60fps....thats a first for me. 720/60 I thought was a standard for these cameras anymore. Not a deal breaker as I run 30fps after dark anyway, but tight twisty, wooded trails that IM going at higher speeds, the FPS (or lack of) starts to show itself.
-the audio- the wind noise due to the location of the latch makes for and interesting and annoying noise in the videos.
And for the first video: unboxing and "test" rides. This camera I have mounts and such on the way to do a bit more with it than I did with the C10, just because I actually trust the case rear plate not to break and fall off, and the waterproofing I trust better. Goal is to catch a storm on the trip down or trip home and mount camera externally on the car. We'll see though.
