Any views on what model now excels at night ? Thanks
Thanks ...for action cam that would probably be the GitUp Git1, the IMX322 sensor is good in low light situations
The Git1 makes a good dashcam too, although it has a battery and so maybe not the best for daytime in Australia. Not heard of any overheating issues though and it is one of the more efficient cameras on power consumption so shouldn't get as hot as most.for action cam that would probably be the GitUp Git1, the IMX322 sensor is good in low light situations

My dashcams are mounted on an Arkon weighted bean bag style pad & taken off the dashboard when not driving so they are not "cooked" in the sun. So far the Mobius battery models are going well after a few years but the Innovv C1 has probably been affected as it does not record.for our climate I wouldn't suggest it as a permanent solution but for occasional use it would certainly do the job
Will get a Git 1 asap , your experience is much appreciated .if you take it out while parked is half the battle
even if you have the aircon running, a camera sitting on the dash while driving during the day will still get cooked. i just about killed an old smartphone using it as a dashcam. yes, using it as a video camera made it heat up, but having it sit directly in the sun got it hot enough to turn itself off via thermal protection.My dashcams are mounted on an Arkon weighted bean bag style pad & taken off the dashboard when not driving so they are not "cooked" in the sun.

supercaps in the git1? do tell! and a picture is worth... lots of words. but if you do share, please put it in the Git1 forum, not just general action cam area.Supercapacitors now installed. And one is mounted on the passenger headrest post aswell as removable dashcam base on dashboard.

no worries - threads move fast here. welcome to the forum!Mobius . Sorry now off topic ,first time poster.
I put supercaps in my Git1, it didn't work! So I put my supercap battery in my Git2, and that did work but doesn't seem to check for low voltage often enough and occasionally doesn't shut down in time. Not sure what was wrong on the Git1, it just behaved like there wasn't a battery plugged in although it did charge the super capacitors to the correct voltage so I don't know how it could tell the difference between battery and super cap battery.supercaps in the git1? do tell! and a picture is worth... lots of words. but if you do share, please put it in the Git1 forum, not just general action cam area.
Much depends on how well the video settings in the firmware are balanced...Any views on what model now excels at night ? Thanks
Since the time when the Git1 was new, all action cameras have moved to fake 4K and now real 4K, small pixels and low sensitivity, none of them currently have sensors designed for low light.If I needed to choose an action camera right now, to use as a dashcam, what would theses days be the best option for, say, 60 USD or less? I've been chasing Gitup Git1, not found.
Reliability, sharpness, and low light are key, obviously... Doesn't HAVE to be 1080/60fps, but would be nice. 1080/30 should do just fine, 4k, 2.7k mwah... not so needed.
