That is the British spelling, another of your British Seafaring Phrases, it originates from Cantonese, and in Cantonese it is spelt with a "k". It worked for the Coca Cola app, could be a successful strategy for a dashcam app? :unsure: : (I imagine that VIOFO-Support was laughing because...

It will reduce the shutter speed to approximately half, not so good around dusk, but most of the time it results in little difference. I don't think it will have much effect on the sharpening, in most situations. The sharpening is a digital filter that only effects fairly high contrast edges...

I've never worked out why they make most photograph CPLs quite dark? They are not all dark, some are quite close to 1 stop, but most are closer to 2, and some are 3 stops.

It could be that there is an anti-reflection coating on one side, which will work best if it is the correct way around.

It does not matter, there is no advantage in a CPL (circular polariser) over a LPL (linear polariser); potentially the LPL may be slightly better/brighter due to not having the C layer in the optical path, but you probably can't tell or even measure the difference. Sunglasses always work fine...

Polarised sunglasses do not have a CPL, they use an LPL. Could someone test the VS1 CPL to see if it is actually a CPL? Just hold it in front of the camera and rotate it a little, exactly as in the above video, but hold it facing rearwards instead of the normal forwards. If it still works...

Never seems to be a problem for the small things, they will probably turn up pretty fast, assuming they are actually in stock now, and you don't need to worry about taxes on that amount. The cameras do often seem to have more local stocks unless they are very new models.

Err, what he said was "Belay that order", which has a different and more suitable meaning: https://www.dockwalk.com/jobs/career-advice/belay-that-the-origins-of-nautical-words

I have not tested this particular CPL, but in general you will reduce the light by 1 stop, and that is likely to increase the exposure time by x2, resulting in 2x the motion blur and no other changes. There will be times when the camera changes the ISO instead, but it is fixed aperture and a...

First question should have been: Is it a box dashcam? Next question should have been: What storage interface does it use? Of course Viofo's statement can be satisfied simply by: ! I'm hoping for the: with true 170° horizontal FoV and more than FHD resolution. 90MB/s * 8 / 60Mb/s = 12...

The app does use the internet to play downloaded videos, because it tries to display the GPS track on a map, and I assume the map comes from the internet. I don't know what iCloud has to do with anything? Although if you have iCloud synchronisation turned on for your photos then your...

Probably because when they double capacity, they just double the number of memory chips inside the card, and the chips can work in parallel, getting things done twice as fast, however when you reach 90MB/s, you are then limited by the communications rather than chip speed. Good question, most...

That is only a theoretical limit, not a practical limit. In reality you will never achieve the theoretical limit for various reasons. Currently we don't have any dashcams that produce more than 90Mb/s(?), I assume due to memory card issues, so you are already well above what can be achieved...

And I was hoping for 10 bit video, recorded in HDR10 format, for this dream dash cam! :unsure:

Maybe you had better update wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

It is correct that it is a zoomed video, because, if it was recorded on an iPhone, the person recording it zoomed in from the normal lens to use the telephoto lens. If you read Apple's description of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it correctly says that it has a telephoto lens with 5x zoom (relative to...

Normally they appear in the photos app, and from there I can send it to my Apple computer with two clicks using the share button. Maybe you didn't give the Viofo app sufficient permissions to access your photo library? Doesn't make much sense why a smaller video would work, unless you are...

This is a box camera, probably sitting in the glove box under lock and alarm system, so why not just plug in a standard USB drive, then you can use anything from 8GB USB memory stick to many very cheap TB magnetic disk, if that is what you want to use. And when you want to take it into the...

Does the little red light inside the HK3 turn off too, or does that stay on? What do you have the Parking Duration Timer set to?

I have no idea how long that would take, if it only takes 1 day then it would be interesting to have confirmation of Viofo's listing, but it may take 1 week, or 1 month. The real problem with a test like that is that the manufacturers keep changing the internals, so a new one may not perform...
