There is an awesome thing about GitUp, he doesn't like to rush things, we don't want multiple hardware revisions, we don't want parts to change on the retail version, we don't want a crappy firmware with missing options so it's better to wait a bit more and have a good working product from the beginning instead of having a "partially" working one that needs a lot of fixesĪlso the Git2P is available for pre-order, the price is good, just 103$, keeping in mind that this comes with the 90° lens already installed !Īlso we got to hear about the Git3 plans and make suggestions before they had actually decided anything, so it does seem like a long time in development but while Yi left off important things like the hdmi socket and external microphone, the Git3 has almost everything - Dual lens, GPS, 2" touch screen, an extra hour of battery life, still fits in a GoPro size gimbal etc,

It just plugs in series with the USB plug, and I use it with all my cameras and phones, to see how much the batteries take up each time. The USB tester is a great little gadget, only a few quid, and it shows exactly how much current is passing, and also records the amp/hours passed until it is reset. I therefore searched ebay carefully looking for "high speed charging" micro USB leads and bought a couple more, and they also charge at nearly an amp, because the inner wires are much thicker. I then found a couple of my leads could charge, (with the same USB charge plug), at nearly an amp, almost ten times faster. Just in time, I read somewhere about the thin flexible wire problem and tested the actual charging amperage with a USB charge tester, and found that most of my micro USB leads could only charge at a maximum of about a tenth of an amp. They can often take many hours to recharge, and I almost replaced the batteries in mine, thinking they were worn out.
I've also found this problem with tablets and larger battery smartphones. Most micro and mini leads are designed for data transfer and charging, so the fully populated cores are usually of very thin gauge, which limits the charging current. It's not a problem particular to the Git camera however, but very common with most devices that are charged through a mini or micro USB port. I believe that Jagerbomb has made a very pertinent observation there, (certainly the part that I underlined). The duel charger seems to work best for me. Also if your charging the battery inside the camera I have found sometimes it will not seat right on the contacts and had to but a paper wedge to push the battery down farther to make better contact. Just play around with it till you find the right combination that works. I use my kids Apple wall charger and I have lots of USB charging cords better then what the camera comes with. The USB charging cable is hit or miss, throw that away. And should it fall in the ocean and my new floaty handle doesn't float, I'm still ahead at the price.I find the supplied adaptor sucks, throw it away. With over $300 saved by not buying a 4K GoPro Hero, I have been able to afford a pile of accessories and a case to put them in. There are numerous other setting options, all done via a small LCD screen on the back, from time lapse to motion sensing to G-switch (a feature useful when it's used as a dashcam). The 1080p/60fps video isn't quite as sharp as 4K, but the with the digital gyro stabiliser switched on, it takes very smooth clear action shots without any annoying shake.
The Git2 has the advantage over many of its cheap rivals in being the same size and button configuration as a GoPro Hero series, so it not only fits in the same waterproof casing, all the other GoPro mounting accessories fit as well.

plus free postage (total ~$175), and it all arrived in 6 days.

I ordered the Git2 Pro pack from China with a dual battery, charger, various mounts, wrist strap remote, etc. I watched a few YouTube reviews, particularly Techmoan's unbiased assessment with downloadable sample clips, and decided the Git2 was the best of. However, 4K video is nice to watch, but a hassle to provide fast memory for and can take ages to edit - huge files to manage.
There are numerous cheap action-cams available on-line and many, like the GoPro, advertising 4K video. Wanted a GoPro action camera without spending a small fortune on something that could disappear into the deep blue sea or over the horizon attached to a faulty quadcopter.
