I was just thinking Dennis, the Hero 4 black has overheating and short battery life. Gopro's website counseled it's buyers who complained to "....use a lower resolution..."Yeah, I agree, I guess Gitup3 is far way in the future. The main reason for a upgrade in the future for Gitup3, would be 4K and h265 (hevc), but as for
now this is just to much, the chips are expensive, and I think that even the gopro that has 4k did not sell that well. Another problem is to get good
quality video.
It is just not enough to have 4k or even do 1080p if the quality is bad, just look at DSLR where even cameras with APS-C sensors produce bad video
or have lots of problem. You need to have have a good product from start to finish. I think people do enjoy a more "over all" solid action camera, and that
is where the Gitup2 is so great.
I also depends on cost, if it was possible to get a cheap and good enough sensor that does 4k, chipset that can do 25fps 30ftp and you can select h264 or h265 and the price is 300 USD
or less for the camera, I think that would sell well, there are those who want that 4k. But if it is more expensive than that, I doubt it will be a good product and will not sell well.
TwoBlues, it was my fault not writing clearly. I was talking about a standard tripod mount on the top and bottom, for the cages mounting, the same as they have on the SJCAM M10+
Not a tripod mounting on the gitup2 camera it self, as is, but on the "cage" you put the camera in, they only have one standard mounting screw, yes you can take
the camera out and flip it and insert it. It would just be more convenient to have it on both the top and bottom so you could not have to remove the camera
depending on what you want to use it for. But it is not a big deal breaker, someone else said it was not hard to flip the camera over anyway.
The main reason would be combo use, when you use it in a car most of the time you have it mounted from the windscreen with a suction cup but when you
use it outside filming stuff you want to use it with say, gimbal or steadycam thing, if you have that, mounting it then often done from bottom.
But as I said not that important anyway, it works well as is.
Imagine buying this $500 dollar 4k action cam and not being able to use a resolution better than a much cheaper Chinese action cam!
