Have you bought a GPS antenna as well and using it connected to Panorama S, right ?
Check if you inserted GPS antenna into correct socket.

Yes I definitely did Niko!

I couldn't get this wrong otherwise it would be a really stupid mistake.. Hahaha..

Its not a stupid mistake. I did it quite often at the beginning, due to hurry and its kinda normal, because socket size for AV and GPS are the same. If insert gps antenna int oAV socket, then LCD will be black. It is normal to do mistakes, we are all humans

Haha.. Alright Niko my man!

But still, anyone encountered the problem I mentioned or any solution in solving it?

It has been alright for awhile now and I hope this problem wouldn't occur back again...

It occurred like 3-4 times in a week previously...

Hi all! Panorama S - GPS does not work. The icon is yellow. The blue LED on the GPS module is permanently lit. What could be the problem?

 

[spotnz]

first things first.

Is it plugged fully into it's socket?

 

[Radio88]

Yes, of course. I have connected the GPS module after power-on panorama. Can i damage it?

RV version has to be chosen depending on overlap value of loop recording.

If overlap set to "0" I use very first v5.2 adopted to Pano with no overlap. If overlap loop is 1sec the you can use RV v5.9, it cuts 1 sec.

FYI:
RV v5.9 and above has a new option to fix overlap seemless video playback:

(thanks goes to @niko for discovering & posting about this new feature)

Win7 and above shows the bitrate

I'm running Windows 7, and file properties shows the audio bitrate, but not the video bitrate.

If something is wrong with your windows try this add-on:

Has anyone come across anyone using a small external battery to maintain power to the camera during the voltage drop when starting the car?
I've started to notice some lost files when I'm starting my car and the camera rapidly shuts down and back on again.

What's the weather like, and what kind of SD card are you using?

Hello everyone,

After reading all kind of good messages about this camera I was eager to get one. So about 2 weeks ago I received my Panorama II S from ebay (seller shpkorea).
I only had a 1 GB SD card lying around so I tried to use it in the camera. First time it did not recognized the card so I formatted it in my computer and this solved the problem. Because 1 GB is way too small to record anything serious, I bought a 128 GB SD card (SDXC) from KINGSTON (this one). I read that with the latest firmware (which is the same as mine) you can format the SD card in the black box. Unfortunately the camera started up with the following error "Card Error", so I thought maybe formatting would help (smartdisk_fat32). This didn't help either, I tried to format it to a smaller size (16GB) and many other options the internet gave me but no succes.
The card works fine in my pc, I'm running out of options, I could really use some help.

Thanks in advance

Try formatting it using native Windows Explorer and format it as exFAT - that should then work in the Panorama?

I've seen one other case where the Panorama comes up with "Card Error" (no matter which card you use) It only happened once out of the hundreds of Panoramas we've sold. PowerUCC has incredible QA, but anything is possible with electronics as you know. If yours is the same it's time to exchange it for a new one.

I had similar problem with 64gb card, the mc later after a few tries was recognised by panaII and have been working flawlessly since. Try it a few more times.

just take it to your local nut and bolt shop and they will be able to supply a new one most likely.

i have no idea where a local nut and bolt shop would be here but yeah I'll just bring in the bolt and knob to the hardware store.

I don't have any spare original mounts right now (will order more soon)
We have these 3rd party 360 degree ball socket ones.
