Note that the low bitrate parking mode is approximately the same bitrate as on the A129 Duo, it doesn't need a super large card for parking mode.The movies look good to me, I hope soon all the questions about heat and how large of a card it will take for the parking mode. I am sure in the coming months these questions will be answered
Chromatic Aberration, where the different colours focus in different places, normally near the corners of a lens often resulting in magenta edges along tree branches. You get this to some extent on nearly all lenses, even Canon DSLR lenses.CA.? What is that? Don’t forget new guy trying to learn
most?but it is definitely more capable than most of the "4K" competition.
to date I think there is only the Blackvue that is comparable (on paper) and that struggles, Thinkware have a 4K camera coming, their 1080p and 1440p models are both pretty ordinary so I wouldn't hold my breath for anything much from them, Nextbase is only single channel but again a bit mediocre, that's it as far as I've seen, the brand snobs will keep buying Korean even if they suckWell somebody might be reading this in 2 years time, and by then the competition might have caught up
From what I've seen of Blackvue it should really be classified as 1080 quality!to date I think there is only the Blackvue that is comparable (on paper) and that struggles, Thinkware have a 4K camera coming, their 1080p and 1440p models are both pretty ordinary so I wouldn't hold my breath for anything much from them, Nextbase is only single channel but again a bit mediocre, that's it as far as I've seen, the brand snobs will keep buying Korean even if they suck
@viofoNo.
Not sure that is true in all circumstances, but running H265 at 51 Front + 14 Mb/s Rear doesn't see a change in bitrate when turning Wi-Fi on/off.
The live display appears to have about a 0.3 second delay.
Wi-Fi to my computer can manage around 10MBytes per second for file download.
It’s not that bad. There is pretty clear difference and even the crappy sensor they used, it does the job. But WHY THE FRICK THEY FORGOT THE HEATSINK..?! That makes my headspin.From what I've seen of Blackvue it should really be classified as 1080 quality!
To claim 4K you should need lens, sensor, processor, and firmware all able to perform, and maybe Wi-Fi too.
Seems to need sunshine before the difference is clear, and living in the UK, that is no good to me!It’s not that bad. There is pretty clear difference and even the crappy sensor they used, it does the job. But WHY THE FRICK THEY FORGOT THE HEATSINK..?! That makes my headspin.
That's a pretty bad record, certainly for eastern Europe where it is not exactly hot!Btw: About 1/3 of the sensor of my DR900S third replaced unit is dying.
A129 Pro 4K - High Quality Lens
@viofo took a long time to develop the high quality 4K lens for the A129 Pro (the same sensor and lens combination can also be found in the new GitUp F1C action camera). It shows good depth of field, excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, low distortion and only a little chromatic aberration at the edge of the frame.
This sample video was recorded at 59Mbps with a CPL filter.
Note: The A129 Pro uses the same CPL as the A129 Duo and A119 series cameras
Note: Sound removed since my car has an annoying noise that needs to be fixed!

The A129 Pro has its own FW, separate from the Duo. The sensors are different resolutions, and the Novatek processors are different too. Most of the menu structure is exactly the same.Curious, what program is on the camera??? Will this camera update differently then the regular A129 duo, or is it being presented with the 1.9
sounds like a tedious jobI have also checked every frame of both videos with virtualdub2,and on the front camera there is only one frame duplicated(frame 812).On the rear camera 3 frames are duplicated(frames 191,999 and 1691).
1.0 is the first build, anything after that is subsequent versions, you may not see every number is a release, eg the next release could be 1.2 or 1.3 etcSo the A129 with 1.9, did that first come with 1.0, meaning there has been many updates for the 129. I am learning so bare with me. (I understand the pro comes with 1.0)
