    YI 4k+ quality issues(or editing software)

    First off, nice videos! Looks fun!! So it's obviously a compression problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact I blame YouTube. Try watching your final edited video file directly on your tablet. I bet it looks a hello f a lot better than the one on YouTube, right? You need to...

    Help! Camera will not turn on...

    I can confirm that this works. I don't know how it happened or why, but the problem is the perfectly working battery stops sitting against the pins properly. Removing the sticker fixes it.

    Alternative dashcams of Viofo A119S having Parking Mode

    If you are lucky enough to not receive one with physical defects from the factory, and you are running firmware version 1.01 which is still the only version without bugs turning on the camera, it does its job well and reliably. If you update or are unfortunate enough to receive a newer revision...

    Yi 4k+ bitrate mod and firmware unpacker.

    @irungentoo interesting development with the framerate increase. What's the bottleneck here, just heat? Think 2.7K 4:3 could be pushed to higher frame rate as well?

    Alternative dashcams of Viofo A119S having Parking Mode

    you'll probably better off asking here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/forums/what-should-i-buy.71/ as far as I can tell the Thinkware F50 is the closest competitor to the A119S, although its video quality isn't as good. F50 hardware is from around the same time as the A119S though. I'm really...

    Yi 4k+ bitrate mod and firmware unpacker.

    This happens occasionally even without the bitrate hack, at Medium bitrates which my cards are more than capable of handling. It's pretty random but still happens sometimes. I think also the fact that it writes three files simultaneously to the card in the beginning (mp4, sec, and thm) then...

    A119S firmwares

    I run 1.01 every revision has been one step forward two steps back, so I stick with what I know works. with 1.01, the camera turns on every time, the oversharpening is not too bad, and the files are properly marked read-only when you hit the button. both of these are much more important than...

    Screen mounting, Silly question time.

    I just eyeballed it. In at least one of my cars it's visibly crooked. Makes zero difference in terms of usable footage. Trust me when I say that the angle it's mounted at is the least of your worries. Make sure you test the camera outside of the car as explained.... somewhere in this post by...

    Do you have to install some specific codecs for a correct dashcam clips playback?

    https://mpc-hc.org/ is also free, uncluttered, and lightweight. works great on my ancient computer!

    F50 chipset, auto shutoff, & parking mode

    Does this mean it doesn't work for hybrids? I don't think there is a voltage drop between ignition and accessory power in my car because it's a hybrid, and the engine isn't started by the 12v battery. I was thinking of picking this up for a rear cam, may have to keep looking...

    new nikon key mission 4k action cam

    The Sony cams are fantastic, but the form factor, UI, and mounts are absolute garbage.

    Yi Ultra Dash Camera

    seems they have learned nothing from their previous venture in this market: it has an internal battery

    What's the point in 4k or 2k cameras?

    Allow me to clarify: there is no debate about motion blur and frame rate when it comes to available dashcams. It has been claimed thousands of times, but never once has it been substantiated. Feel free to provide an example of a single dashcam that has ever used that long of an exposure...

    What's the point in 4k or 2k cameras?

    bold part is false. @OP, all else being equal more resolution = more detail, more "options" for post-processing.

    new nikon key mission 4k action cam

    once again Nikon leaves its owners in the dust... 3 cameras in their action camera lineup, one year later and not a single software update. it's really a shame because both the Keymission 360 and 170 have excellent, unrealized potential.
