A129 Pro Duo Power Consumption Test

[gabilondo77]

As I promised in the A129 thread,I've made the power consumption test with the A129 Pro Duo too,these are the min/max in Watts:
Firmware V1.2ACC.T
Bitrate Maximum
Power cable connected to GPS mount

1.Front 4K 30fps 3.45W-3.61W---On 2K 60fps power consumtion is about the same.
2.Front 4K + Rear 1080p 30fps 4.47W-4.86W---On 2K 60fps + FHD 30fps power consumtion is about the same.
3.Parking Mode 5fps Front 2.40W-2.58W
4.Parking Mode 5fps Front+Rear 3.19W-3.37W

Wonder if H265 mode will draw more power thus lead to higher temperature?

No, it is almost identical, although the memory card is slightly cooler due to less data being written.

Thanks for the clarification. Am just trying to find a suitable bitrate in h264/265 that can survive the heat in parking mode during daytime
