Hi all
First post here but I just wanted to try get more information on peoples experiences of the 612GW
I’ve just upgraded my 512 to the 612 and, to be fair, it’s not that great for me. Has anyone else had experience correcting these issues?
1. The video quality is poor, ok it’s 4K but it’s so blurry and bouncy I actually feel a bit queasy watching it back.
2. I cannot for the life of me get my 612 to successfully either transfer files via the WiFi or watch clips streamed. Each time it takes so long I give up or it does! What’s going on? One of the reasons I upgraded was for the WiFi transfer to the phone. I have an iPhone 8 Plus running latest firmware. It’s so frustrating at not being successful I’ve gone back to card in the computer retrieval.
3. If I hit the protect button it gives me 30 seconds of the clip. No option to change it either. I compile my clips into YouTube videos and I’m finding it hard to work with just 30 seconds! Surely there must be a way of giving the user the choice like how long the segments are on the loop record.
4. Low level contrast/dark clips. Now I’m hasty to mention this as the winter sun in the uk van plays havoc with lense flair and light levels, but this thing records DARK! I’m going to have to mess with the colour levels when I edit, but am I missing a setting somewhere?
5. Night recording. Ugh! Grainy as hell and nowhere near enough exposure to see anything outside the beam of the headlight. The 512 did a better job
I’m seriously disappointed with this thing so far. The worst is the blurry wavy type effect on playback, I almost feel drunk! There must be some way of reducing motion correction as it’s almost gimble like but in the worst possible way!
Looking forward to anyone’s experience of the 612gw, and I noticed nextbase float around a lot. Hey nextbase gimme a call - I’d love my YouTube videos to use this thing but at the moment I wouldn’t say it’s any better than the 512.
Change my mind or educate me - I’m ready! Lol
Cheers guys
