Good 6Pj test footage, sharpness looks great, looks hazy or saturation is too low, will make adjustment from 110 to 118 on next 6Pk after reviewing more clips. thanks for sharing.

 

[Tractor]

A couple of MOD 6Pj samples not the best but the best the weather allows. May be 5-7 days before we might see the sun again.

Great 6Pj clear test footage, the 1440p clip suggests +1 sharpness , -1 brightness, will wait for more footage, thanks for sharing the rare blue sky view.

I currently have 6Pj on both A119. 1 using 1920x1080 30fps No CPL WDR off and the other 1440p with CPL WDR off.
I did take some night footage but it was grainy as was to be expected. Trying to figure out the best settings for night, I will set 1 for the best night setting the other for the best day time setting.

Comparisons are always useful, glad you have 2 dashcams for testing. The 1080p quality has improved using 6Pj but not as good as 1440p. May ask you to handle some Alpha A119 side-by-side testing if they are both mounted in front.

Very odd issue occurred after loading firmware, everything worked fine but when reviewing footage quality was very soft. Issue was corrected by performing MENU > Default Setting > ok. (Recommend always Resetting Defaults)

 

[Tractor]

Both are in the front either side of the rear view mirror. I don't always set to default but I always go through and set all the settings be they the default or 1 my choice.

Perhaps I should set to defaults it may explain why the cam reverted to 1080p when set at 1440p without me touching it.

 

[Tractor]

Some samples of 6Pj at 1080p and 6Pk at 1440p. 2 Files in each folder each file 2 min section 6Pj and 6Pk files are the same but in different resolutions.

Thanks for sharing the very good A119 sunny day footage, the 6Pk looks good even when Lens is pointed lower to maximize brightness, side effect is blown-out sky, trick is to find the sweet spot. Although the A119 is designed for higher 2560x1440 resolution for best quality those 1920x1080 clips are lower quality but acceptable, not as clear as A119S or A129 1080p dash cams. The comparisons are very revealing.

Seeking A119 owners feedback on best MOD.
Which of the following A119 modified firmware versions has the best image quality for you?

A119 Dash Cam Review: https://viofo-a119-dash-cam-review.blogspot.com

 

[Tractor]

I don't have any 7Rf only 5Rf samples. I just flashed 7Rf and will try at my first opportunity at the moment I have nothing to compare. Do not know happened to 7Rf but will soon rectify.

Hopefully can get comparison clips of 7Rf vs 6Pk on nice day to finally decide the Stable high sharpness level. So we can move on to the Special Projects.

 

[Tractor]

Took advantage of today's sunshine. So her is a clip of 7Rf and 6Pk.

sample 7Rf Sample 6Pk

On 1080p monitor could not see much difference but on 4K shows 6Pk is more detailed.

Created new A119 - Stable versions 7Rg , 5Rg , See post #1 of thread for details and ChangeLog.
These Stable 27Mbps & 25Mbps Bitrate versions use the Strong Sharpness level once the new Menu option is released by VIOFO. Suggest keeping a copy of these modified Bitrates since VIOFO is about to set maximum limit of 24Mbps.

Will try them out at first opportunity. Hopefully today as the sun is shining at the moment.

 

[Tractor]

Some samples of 5Rg and 7Rg. Sun is extremely low in the sky, long shadows it's not long till the shortest day. Might not get a better chance for quite a few days after today. Forecast of yet more grey clouds and rain.

Googles encoding does not show these samples at best. Download for best image quality.

5Rg 1440p no CPL 7Rg 1440p with CPL

Very Good A119 5Rg verses 7Rg modified firmware comparison, footage shows finer detail on bushes and road using 27Mbps compared to 25Mbps. Are you sure the 5Rg clip was recorded without CPL it looks darker meaning CPL was on compared to 7Rg seems like CPL was revered. Either way it does show noticeable difference in Brightness. thanks for sharing these new Stable version clips, well done, those narrow Lanes are crazy white knuckle driving but fun to watch.

 

[Tractor]

5Rg was definitely with no CPL. I keep the CPL off on one of the cams and they are marked so I can tell the difference. The only difference that may have caused that is the lens angle was lower on 5Rg.
What I need is someway to fix the lens angle to stop them moving when put in place. One tube of silicon coming up.
There is nothing like playing chicken with nice big lorry.

Just checked again to make sure and 5Rg positively had no CPL. I must admit that 5Rg looks darker than 7Rg and a bit less bold on the whites perhaps a bit more balanced but why?

The brightness would be greatly affected by Lens angle, didn't notice it till later. A great suggestion from my YouTube Channel was to mark the lens housing and body with a silver ‘Sharpie’ for correct Lens angle position reference when reattached.
