Another newbie needs help choosing an action cam

[dreja]

Hello,
my name is Andrej and I'm searching for an action cam.

I would use it mostly for capturing motorbike videos.

Apart from video quality (with realistic colors and sharp image) I expect from the camera:

- Good handling of transitions (for eg. changing from sun to shadow)
- Image stabiliser
- Stable software ( working out of the box ) with no need for adjustments. For e.g. I can't adjust white balance, exposure, ... during driving. On the other hand I can upgrade the firmware.

First I saw Hero Session, but the price is too high, the battery can't be changed, and there is no image stabilizer.

I was looking after sj4000+ gyro, they are priced around 100 euro.
As I read in the reviews white balance does not work well in auto mode ?
There also seems to be the issue with black frames - is this present at all resolutions ? I would mostly use 1080p/60 or 1080p/30 .

Do you have any other suggestion for around 100 euro ?

Thanks
Andrej

Git 2 does 1080p60 and has good gyro stabilization. Removable battery, fits gopro cases so you have a billion options for cases and mounting. Regular firmware updates that always add features. I love mine!

Thanks.
Is there any European web shop,which has a good deal for Git2 ?

maybe @niko can help. i'm not sure what's available to you since i'm in the states. i do not recommend buying from chinese vendors - they seem to have issues with shipping - takes a month or more, and if you have to return it, it's a waste of time.

Maybe worth to ask @gitup if they have EU distributor ?

Thanks for suggestion, I have contacted @gitup, but no answer yet...

What do you thing about Sony AZ1 ?
Image quality should be in the same range as Hero Session (except underwater).
The version without remote control is about 140 Euro...
Thanks
Andrej
