    F500LHD best color settings for video recording?

    I prefer not to play with informal updates. And "washed out" colors is the correct description. What software were you referring to? Thanks.

    F500LHD best color settings for video recording?

    Hi, I'd appreciate any recommendations regarding improving color quality and sharpness for video filming. I have compared video filmed simultaneously with this camera and a GoPro Hero2, the Hero2 shows far better colors while the F500LHD shows very grey colors and somewhat fuzzy video. The...

    F500LHD experience

    I have used the cam twice to record my flights. Both times it was paced in the inside canopy using the suction holder. The 1st time was 1 hour long actual flight time, the 2nd time about 02:45 hours of actual flight time, but the camera was turned on for about 5 hours, maybe longer. Movie...

    F500LHD movie recording orientation?

    Today I used the camera in a 1 hour flight, using the settings you guys recommended. Movie quality is very good (daytime conditions). The holder turns out to be very good as well - I attached it to the top (inside) of the canopy, the picture was steady even though the air was turbulent at times...

    F500LHD movie recording orientation?

    I intend to use the dashcam while flying, to record the flight. After each flight I copy the files from the card so I don't expect to have to recycle. Maybe I just need to turn the recycle to OFF, so the early moments of the flight don't get erased.

    F500LHD movie recording orientation?

    Sorry but I still don't understand. If I set it to 1 minute, then all clips shall be 1 minute long? Sounds strange. I want the clips to be very long (duration) and the cutoff period (recycle) between them to be say 1-2 secs (this would equate to ~30-60 frames, imperceptible to the eye). What...

    F500LHD movie recording orientation?

    Just above the "recycle" I have "duration", which can be set from "no" to 45 minutes. Seems this would be the correct option? Recycle has "no" to 15 minutes. And what can I do now to flip the existing videos? Thank you.

    F500LHD movie recording orientation?

    Hi received my new F500LHD, purchased from the recommended ebay seller. I used the camera for the 1st time in the movie recording mode, seems pretty good quality in daytime. I used the provided windshield bracket and the camera was "face down", ie with the lens in the bottom. Upon returning...

    F500L HD with latest firmware?

    Hi, I see that the latest firmware for the F500L HD is v8.9 T2L-KH while the recommended vendor (estore009) has only v6.9T2L-KH. Is there a comparison chart showing the differences between the two software versions? Reading the detailed review of this camera, I see that: "Upside down image...

    Car Mount Holder for F500L HD from eBay?

    Hi, I'd appreciate recommendations for car mounts listed on eBay. I've seen the 4 items recommended here listed at AliExpress, but I prefer using eBay since I can pay via PayPal. The camera will be used most of the time in a small aircraft, so there'll be a fair amount of vibration. Thank...

    F500LHD - 2nd or 3rd version

    Thank you, guys. I'm completing flight training and I want a good quality camera to record my flights. I won't be flying at night so this functionality is less important. But I do want 1080p. So unless you guys recommend a different product, I'll purchase the F500LHD from estore009 in eBay...

    F500LHD - 2nd or 3rd version

    Now the 3rd gen is back to ~$100 so there's only a couple of $ price difference between 2nd and 3rd gen.

    F500LHD - 2nd or 3rd version

    Here's the eBay listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3rd-F500L-HD-Fu ... 1e6cb25d39 I see that he has updated the price back to ~$100. Until a couple of days ago it was ~$200. So again, just to verify, this dash cam would be my best bet?

    F500LHD - 2nd or 3rd version

    Hi guys, After reading through this interesting discussion, I'm still not clear on which version to buy. I was set on buying v2 and emailed the recommended vendor in late Jan 2013. However he wrote that they would be shut down for the Chinese new year and wouldn't be shipping anything for a...
