If dropped, I don't see the M6 fairing well.
Like I said the yesterday, I wish you good luck in your dash camera endeavors but I'm of the humble opinion that this thread is not the place to be posting commentary about and a Techmoan video review of the DDPai M6 +.
Just been capturing a little low light footage with the M2 FW i got on mail today ( 2.0.7 )
Here is 3 screen grabs from the 3 cameras in my windscreen.
In the meantime, I am working with a very recent beta trying to make some definitive simultaneous comparisons between the M2 and the M1 as well as with the GC and the bottom line is that the IQ for the M2 has been very discouraging. Little by little things are improving but I am beginning to lose faith. At this point I can see where the camera "might" be suitable for RC FPV use (long distance daytime views) but for dash cam purposes the camera is sorely lacking.
it's a shame to hear it's shaping up this way, I'm sure after having some closer involvement in this process over the past few months and given that the guys involved are quite experienced (certainly well above a lot of their competitors) you must have a greater appreciation of just how difficult it can be to make improvements
Yes, I can appreciate the difficulty involved, especially when a developer like Mobius takes on the task of having to essentially write their own firmware from scratch in Linux. I'm starting to think that the ambitious choice of components for this camera are proving to be much more of a challenge than originally anticipated. Obviously you're no stranger to this kind of thing but for the most part your team gets to work with a full fledged SDK.
they also have access to a full fledged SDK but chose not to use it, on reflection perhaps that wasn't the best choice, it does perhaps highlight why working within the SDK framework is the preferred option, too many people make throw away comments like why don't you make this change or that, it's only a few lines of code, ten minutes work etc etc when the reality is they have no clue what they're talking about or more importantly what the implications are of (in their minds) seemingly trivial changes
My understanding has been that there is an SDK but that it is fairly limited. At least that is the premise I've been going on. I'm trying to remember where exactly I read that now.
perhaps they felt there were limitations for what they hoped to achieve but the SDK is by no means limited from a video performance aspect, that is after all the primary purpose of the product, perhaps they had grander plans, I guess when they started this process close to two years ago the SDK may not have delivered at that time, could have been why they decided against it
Maybe you should get one of these:Yep not camera is every going to be totally drop proof. Even my Mobius M1 eventually landed lens down.
