OK. I actually don't mind it currently. Will try to see if it improves... 1mm or 10mm down?Suggest that you turn its lens a little down, just a little
I like to have the horizon in the centre of the image, but I've not noticed the B1W being fussy about where you point it. It will affect the exposure a bit, but not much on the B1W.OK. I actually don't mind it currently. Will try to see if it improves... 1mm or 10mm down?
Your sunset video has starburst on the lights, is this from locating it where both windscreen wipers pass the lens leaving scratches in the glass?
I have/had a G1W for over 2 years. I bought the B1W as an upgrade a couple of weeks ago from aliexpress Smartway Technology.
The camera came with focus fixed to 30cm and is faulty. Even if it was not faulty, I agree it is not very good compared to the G1W.
The lens is fish-eye, very distorted around the edges, bottom the screen and dash are almost U shaped and so things also appear further away and so number plates etc.. can't be read at a distance that they can on the G1W. The video also seems more compressed and a bit jerky. It also slides out of the mount sideways too easily and I think even in a small side crash it would just pop straight out. I also agree about the light metering being better on the older G1W, it just didn't overcompensate so much for brightness in the sky.
Looks like the issue is with the glass. Fine scratches on it. It is more than 10years old the car. I have attached video of cleaned windscreen inside and outside. Sorry no audio as music I had on radio was picked up for copyright.Let me clean that section and do the same run on Thursday and see.
What do you of the adjusted angle?Not sure of it yet, might 3mm?
Looks a lot better, the starburst only goes in one direction now. There will always be some scratches on older glass, you could try polishing it gently with a paint cutting polish but it will never get back to new.Looks like the issue is with the glass.

Agree with estore009, the B1W lens has very good focus for the price, also the B1W has a much better sensor for low light conditions than the G1W.What are your thoughts so far on the B1W vs G1W in terms of video quality and overall?

The important part being "good focus for the PRICE"Agree with estore009, the B1W lens has very good focus for the price, also the B1W has a much better sensor for low light conditions than the G1W.
