Same people own both companiesVIOFO will add functions in new firmware for GITUP camera's?
Are you sure?
I saw on another thread that jokiin was calling it a Viofo F1, maybe there is a plan for Viofo to sell it as a 4K dashcam while Gitup sell it as an FPV 4K Action Cam?VIOFO will add functions in new firmware for GITUP camera's?

We will add the function in the new firmware

My mistake, unless of course they do that, then I'll need to collect royaltiesI saw on another thread that jokiin was calling it a Viofo F1, maybe there is a plan for Viofo to sell it as a 4K dashcam while Gitup sell it as an FPV 4K Action Cam?
Gitup commented on rcgroups that a 90degree version will be available - like the original Mobius A-lens. Too narrow??
It also seems to have a built-in lens protector that can be removed and replaced with a CPL. Nice linked up thinking about action and dash cam functions.
If you use the 4K then the licence plates will be "far better readable" anyway since the pixels/degree will be about the same as 1080 with a 90 degree lens. The 90 degree lens will be for FPV use on drones.I'm not sure, I have a Mobius (1) with ("old") A type lens and it's really a bit narrow, but then again, obviously license plates are far better readable than with a 165 degree lens ....
That assumes that a) the lens can resolve 4K detail, and b) the subject is not moving quickly across the field of view. Motion blur (movement across pixels) can be more noticeable when you have a higher density of pixels. When reviewing my dashcam footage, most of the time car number plates are blurred due to relative motion between my camera and the other car during the exposure, rather than a lack of image resolution. Having said that, I haven't tried a 4K camera side-by-side with 1080p to see the difference with a moving camera & subject.If you use the 4K then the licence plates will be "far better readable" anyway since the pixels/degree will be about the same as 1080 with a 90 degree lens.

Point a) is true, no point having a 4K camera with a poor quality lens, or with a poor quality windscreen!That assumes that a) the lens can resolve 4K detail, and b) the subject is not moving quickly across the field of view.

For this reason I'm thinking about relocating my Mobius1 with A-lens (90deg) to the front windscreenyeah that part with plates / things suffering less from blur at a distance i have noticed, but then with the 1080p cameras i still cant read it, and skip forward 10 frames or so then you cant read it due to motion blur.
I dont quite know if this is why i like to have a long range camera in the windscreen and why they seem better at resolving plates as a 8 - 12 mm lens can do that out there before the motion blur kick in.
I got a new megapixel lens in the mail as i was never quite happy with the 8 mm lens i use to put on a camera, the new lens are also 12 mm so even less FOV on it.
Focal Length - 12.00mm
35mm Equivalent - 66.60mm
Fish-eye Distortion - YES, minimal
Black Vignetting - NO
Horizontal Field of View (HFOV) - 30°
Aperture (f Stop) - 1.60
Back Focal Length (BFL) - 6.45mm
Installed Filter - Daylight (IR-Cut)
Native Camera Sensor Support - 1/2.7"
Native Megapixel Support - 2MP
Thread Material - Metal
Optics Material - Glass
I am looking forward to testing it for sure, only one problem it got caught in customs, so the 12 mm lens will have its price doubled
Yeah.
It really is unfair the customs can charge a 160 DKkr handling fee, when the gift limit is 90 DKkr.
Its not so much the taxes on these little things, its the handling fee that ruin it all, the tax are mostly quite fine.
And i dont get it the 160 DKkr is what a postal worker earn a hour, so he will have no problems earning his wages or be extremely slow ( which are not uncommon in public jobs )
So i say either rise the gift limit or lower that handling fee, as it is now it in my book is borderline highway robbery in broad daylight.
