all are unknown products, anything is a gamble I guess
Hi, I'm interested as well, and this is a terrific topic, we could also build a list of "real 4K" cameras, as I've got some sample to test + a refering test card I think this would be a great idea ..Recently I found a new model of SJCAM...SJ7 Star which sell in real 4k native with 30 fps....is it real or fake too?
According to a recent YouTube video from TechTronic 9000 it overheats and shuts down frequently!How about the thieye t5e, have anyone use this camera before?
The Mavic has a very narrow angle lens, mainly so that it doesn't see the propellers since the camera is mounted very close to them. Most action cameras, including all the 4K ones I've seen have much wider lenses, not really suited to most drone use since they make you fly too close to things and have a lot of fisheye distortion which looks bad when you tilt the camera, on a drone the camera is rarely horizontal.Nice, I've seen couple of IMX117 + A12 claiming to perform the "Real 4K", 4 of them did not complete as well as I've expected
Yet I trust none of these dull promises .. shall I have a test card sample for the GoPro in order to compare ?
But I'll be happy to know there's a real 4K camera out there I'll can fit on a drone, with an image quality matching the Mavic's One
Do I also have a correct referential using the Mavic Cam as best reference yet ?
A maximum real resolution to be supported, it needs to be supported by CMOS and chipset. If just one of them is not supporting 4K then the 4K is real.So if the sensor can support a 4K image capture why wouldn't it be real 4K just not at a high quality MJPEG setting?
I don't have a problem with Ambarella as chipsets, they are great, much better than others chipsets like Allwinner. My problem with Ambarella is lack of support after sales. If you have an Ambarella camera with no problems you should not worry at all. But I remember some GoPro had problems with Wi-Fi and GoPro is their biggest client ever.
From your examples I like more the Eken. And they have Ambarella support compared to other chinese companies, maybe they are the only.
