Okay and your point is ?
 
Gyro Image stabilization sounds very interesting. I'm familiar with the technology as it's been around a long time but I've never heard of it built into a small form action cam before. If it's really gyro stabilization like they claim and works it would be a fantastic feature for certain applications. It could even provide greater clarity for dash cams, especially for someone like me who lives on and often travels on rural dirt roads in hilly and mountainous terrain.

The dewarping feature also sounds appealing.

I would love to know what sensor and DSP in used in this camera.

will keep an open mind but not so sure about this, the stabilisation I've see so far is ok for handheld stuff but can make things worse for something solidly mounted, things may have changed so will wait and see it in action before deciding one way or the other if this is a good thing or not for our applications, could still be ok for sport cam stuff though
 
So is this the 1st budget 4k 24fps cam?

I have one in hand, I will record some testing footage soon.
The 4K is not amazing, as this chipset does not have 4K ability.
 
4k needs to have 2160p vertical (twice the 1080p).
Horizontal can be different in different formats (widescreen).
This just says 4k@24fps.
Does that mean it's at least 3840p wide by 2160p or interpolated?
 
it's possibly frame doubled. when you have twice as much resolution as you need from a sensor there's a lot of options available

Yeah, I see your point, although if you saw the vibrations you can get in videos while driving some of the washboard dirt and gravel roads around where I live, "solidly mounted" in a vehicle doesn't necessarily mean much.

In any event, there are two different issues as I see it, which is why I questioned whether it's really gyro stabilization like they claim and also if it actually works as advertised. I'm skeptical that anyone could produce an authentic miniaturized gyroscopic system small enough to fit inside a camera this size and then, assuming that could be accomplished, whether they can produce something that really functions reasonably well in a camera selling for $128 USD. Another obvious question is whether gyros would make too much noise inside a video camera. Still, I find the idea of miniaturized gyro stabilization intriguing.

my observations (based on viewing the sample video only) is that the field of view on the 'gyro' enabled camera is different to that of the non 'gyro' camera, it appears very much like the picture is cropped and the camera is deciding which portion of the sensor is used dynamically, as in the cropped section is being adjusted on the fly, I find it hard to imagine this is not being done in software and perhaps there's a bit of artistic license being taken with the use of the word 'gyro'

not sure about this one

I agree. The notion of making up product features and technologies that devices don't really have just leaves me shaking my head but we seem to see more and more of it as time goes on. "Gyro" has a specific meaning so artistic license is pushing it. Didn't they use to just call this Image Stabilization?

The Kenyon camera gyro stabilizer I linked back in post #3 goes for around $2500 and up for the 3 axis model plus accessories.

so they've probably miniaturized that and crammed it into a $128 camera I guess, along with the real 4k video etc, quite a feat really when you think about it :cool:
 
Regarding the Gyro, it require add separate Gyro chipset, not just done by firmware.
