I bought the Git2 to use as a recording FPV camera to replace a Mobius v3. I bought this as the reviews reported that the camera handled direct light better. I have the purpose made GitUp FPV cable. I tested the camera in the plane today and I am very very very disappointed with the quality of the FPV picture. So much so I am wondering if I have bought a Knock Off!!
- It is installed in a purpose built FPV plane that has a clean 5volt supply used for the Mobius and Pixem Seawolf, Aomway 5.8 vtx, all filtered and cabled correctly, no ground loops.
- I have the video menu set to car mode so it is supposed to start recording when power is supplied through the red/black cable and it does not do this, the shutter button has to be pressed.
- The image through the goggles and monitor is truly awful! It is dark, blurred, tinged with blue and has fuzzy diagonal stripes across the image that roll across the screen.. The mobius, a £50 camera, is far superior with colour and contrast. All the exposure settings are factory stock. I have no idea if any of the settings affect the live FPV signal.
- The camera gets very hot with the FPV cable plugged in, it does not get even warm when charging or used as a PC camera. After 5 minutes it stopped working on FPV altogether so it was a good job I had the abillity to swith live feed to the mobius or I could have lost the plane.
- There is more lag than a GoPro and the Mobius making proximity flying impossible. Probably 50% more.
- Loop setting does not work. On a ground test when the card was full the AV out (goggles view) went off.
