GitUp F1: any good for dash cam use?

[SawMaster]

Indeed, and I resemble that remark

Doing anything not recommended by the manufacturer or prohibited by them costs you the warranty as it goes beyond design parameters However it is a very good way of discovering how robust a cam is. With well-designed and well-built cams recording 24/7 usually works OK while less capable cams may fail. Such a failure does not mean that it's a bad cam, only that it could be better

The world isn't always nice, gentle, and kind And anything I buy needs to deal with that world however things are going. I'd rather kill a cam under testing and take the loss than to have one die in use at a critical point because it wasn't good enough

Can it run for 6-8 hours at 4K?

What is the memory card you want to use for F1?

IDK, 128GB if that's enough.

One 64Gb card can support 2 hours @4k resolution according to my experience,so,128Gb card is not enough for 6 hrs recording;

I made a test of 8 hours of recording at 4K in loop mode. The test was in a room and the temperature was about 22C.



For 4K recording is recommended to use only UHS-3 card.

Yes,UHS-3 card is recommended.
Anyway,we experienced it can go with C10 card & UHS-1 card both.

the challenge will be once it has dashcam mode that you'll get someone that will want to run it 24/7

For any cameras that can focus closely, I am in that group. 3D printer diagnostics is best left to a homebrew CCTV type approach, which dash cams are built for Just focus on the printer and rewind to review the time of when the print screwed up!

Funny...on banggood website there is a 20% coupon for 'GitUp Cameras"..they even show an F1...but the coupon doesn't apply to the F1 (which is on sale at 129$)

In my case the 20% coupon only worked in making a preorder when using a Banggoods Android app. It didn't work when using the normal webpage.

What's the price after both the sale and discount?

Arrived this morning - first test run later today, if I can find another microSD card!


I've left a space for it on the Mobius test rig

 

[Nigel]

Seems like a big box for a little camera!

It's a small box <15cm long. A bit bigger than a Mobius 2 box (Mobius 1 comes without a box at all).

They always packed item well as gift package!

Looking forward to video samples and your views on the F1.

Hoping someone in the Southern Hemisphere got one too.

Try to find a UHS 3 micro sd card.
