I have made comparison test of Panorama II Beta FW v1.11.13 vs official v1.08.05
FW v1.11.13 is Beta version where developer added GPS time zone option, extra folders and removed violet background at night. Due to this a video recording at night made darker where there are no or little street lights.
Also I have tested power-on and gps lock speed:
- v1.08.05 took about 5 sec. from power-on to start recording. GPS lock is instant upon it started recording.
- v1.11.13 took about 8 sec. from power-on to start recording. GPS lock is 1 sec after it started recording.
If comparing to other high-end dash-cameras, both results are very good, especially instant GPS lock upon recording starts.
Again, just to remind - v1.11.13 is Beta version ( for test purpose only, it's not final version ) and developer working on it to improve night vision recording and taking back to 5 sec from power-on / recording start time.
Below is video test about start-up / rec / gps lock :
Also side by side test of both firmwares:
For those who maybe don't have time to watch 16min video clip and doing paus / play to compare different scenes, I have selected collection of scenes where can see difference, so you can quickly scroll through comparisons and see result.
In first post I will upload 10 scenes where there are not much differences.
Then followed by 30 scenes where you can see a difference.
P.S. About GPS data location and speed please remember it takes few sec. to update and lock, thats why you may see on photos very little difference in this data.
10 scenes where there is no or very little difference between 2 firmwares.
