    SG9665GC (v2 - 2016) mounting

    I appreciate the ongoing support. I ended up just ordering (via amazon for the free weekend delivery) the mounting tape for the base, and yet another cable cover. It's probably cheaper for everyone involved to let Amazon deal with shipping it. I am curious - is the cable cover made with ABS...

    SG9665GC (v2 - 2016) mounting

    A couple of years ago, I purchased a SG9665GC (from pier28? via amazon)... this was back when the CPL was a brand new thing and I had to order it separately. Anyway, a year ago (early March, so nearly exactly a year ago) I had my windshield replaced and the installer was able to salvage the...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    I agree, though to be completely honest, neither one is all that bad. It's not exactly a scientific test, though, with only one pass (three minutes apart) each time. A single cloud passing under the sun could change a lot with lighting and exposures. As with most of my samples posted, they...

    Low cut vs average... These were taken on the same day, same morning, same road, etc. The youtube clips are for the exact same part of the road. Near the end, there's a huge blowout on both videos. @jokiin, please expect a PM with a link to the raw mov files in a few minutes. Low Cut...

    You're right, of course, in what you didn't say. ;) I hope you and the rest of the folks in this thread will please pardon me.

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    Will do, but I probably won't be able to get any results uploaded until Thursday. (I'm taking tomorrow off work, so no good reason to drive around in the morning sun.)

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    Thank you for making my point for me. As for the rest of your post, you've clearly demonstrated your ability to jump to conclusions (that are incorrect) and completely misinterpret what is or isn't obvious. I'm glad that my participation in this thread is for the overall product good, and...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    Did you watch the video, or just comment on my mention of brake lights? I only mentioned the brake lights because it seemed like an interesting side effect of the high contrast. The point of the video is the high contrast scenarios. Wow... this isn't the first time you've completely...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    It isn't terrible at all. My post wasn't complaining or suggesting "mine is bigger than yours." Jokiin has asked several times for us to continue to provide samples of high contrast scenes so that they can continue to tweak things, so I'm providing samples.

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    Another sample with high contrast... (@jokiin, will send a PM with a link to the raw file in a moment.) In a couple places, the contrast seems to play tricks with the color of the brake lights of the car in front of me.. almost making them appear white (at times) instead of red.

    How to run cables when using optional cable cover ( video + photos )

    Oh, so I wasn't suppose to chop off the ferrite core and solder the USB connector to the remaining wire? :D

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    I don't think that'd work out due to the length of "day" being different depending on the season. It would be even worse up there in Canada where you guys have nice long summer days, and super short winter days. Adding daylight savings time would only complicate things more. Where I live...

    Idiot brake checks a tanker truck

    So, it appears that the actual FL statue (linked from your first link - direct link is here: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0300-0399/0316/Sections/0316.081.html) states that the tanker driver was completely correct in his driving...

    Idiot brake checks a tanker truck

    First, I am so very sorry (not really) for this post. After dealing with US politics for all my life, the news this morning made me feel better. Misery loves company. Are you referring to stuff in the road, or membership in the EU? Oh... I see. I think you misspelled "exits." Isn't it...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    mini 08xx. EDIT: Actually, that isn't fair of me. There are a few samples of each mini model that work great. Otherwise, the QC seems to be lacking. I suppose if the mini devices had excellent QC and international support, they'd have something the quality of the GC... (and have to charge...

    Idiot brake checks a tanker truck

    You keep citing FL law, but no actual references. Which statute/section? A direct link to an online reference would also be good. (I grew up in FL, and didn't leave the state until I was well in my 30's... and I've never heard of anything like that... unless it was some dumb-ass F150 driver...

    Not the same as what I saw. At night (only headlights) in an area probably darker than @niko's "pitch black" example, I compared 0.0 to -2/3 and -1.0, and I saw no difference at all. I do see a difference in his images. It might be that I have a CPL installed, or it might be the different...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    You know, I really need to re-do that test (where I change the EV values while parked on a road at night.) If it comes out the same (no visual difference), I can post the two videos here and nag @jokiin about it. ;) Perhaps this weekend...

    Idiot brake checks a tanker truck

    That's a very interesting interpretation of "impede traffic." If he's doing the speed limit (which he claims in the youtube comments that he's doing), then he can't be impeding LAWFUL traffic unless that traffic has the right to exceed the speed limit (and I didn't see any emergency vehicles...

    SG9665GC firmware updates and pre release access

    Globally? With the EV setting? I have my EV set to -2/3 on the theory that my observed video has more loss of detail in highlights than in shadows. However, I haven't been able to determine yet if that's having a detrimental impact on night (dark) video. At least in a still camera, AE...
