Video Snapshot Timer - function enables you to shoot short scenes that last for several seconds.
Gyro Stabilization - enables video to be smooth even if you are on some bumpy road on your bike or motor
WDR - is quite complex term, but in laymen words ,Wide Dynamic Range (
WDR) helps the camera to produce more realistically looking and sharper images in situation where the light and illumination vary excessively.
For instance, while recording you have a situation where one subject is in bright light, where as the objects behind are in shadow. This is good example of different illumination. So, by turning WDR on, camera will record with more details, more contrast. WDR helps sensor to determine more accurately different light intensities and then increase details, or sharpen them in this case.
Plenty of cameras have WDR, but in most of them, it makes zero difference. However, wide dynamic range is quite good.
G-Sensor - is a dash camera feature. Its main purpose it to start recording as soon as it detect shake. You can set G-sensor sensitivity as from High to low. High means camera will start recording at slightest shock, low does quite opposite.
I have not tested this feature in car, but when trying it out on my head strap, it did not show as a reliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Like motion detection, this option is not specific nor useful for true action camera users. But G-sensor can be handy when you want to record traffic, though its not highly reliable according to my amateurish test performed on it.
Car Mode Auto-Start - When Car Mode is On the camera will start recording when the car starts up and shutdown when the car is turned off. You will have to connect it with a car charger which is sold separately. By turning this on, and setting loop recording on, you will transform Gitup Git 1/2 Pro to a car camera (dashcamera).
RC Paring/ RC Operation - Enables you to par your camera with remote. Remote control watch allows you to take photos and videos without having to touch camera itself. Watch itself is water-resistant up to 3m underwater.
So, you can not use it while diving, which is a shame, but for surfing and similar activities it is a life-saver. I used it while driving, to take photos and short video samples.
It is made out of rubberized materials, where as the strap is some sort of cloth. I really like that the strap is not rubber, as some previous watches caused skin redness, especially when you sweat. This one is quite comfortable to wear.
The range of a RC watch is around 5-7meters. So you can also use it as a remote shutter while camera being on a tripod, or on top of your helmet. For larger distances, you would have to use a WiFi app.
It consists out of 4 simple buttons and allows you most basic functions :
- WiFi button (turns WiFi on/off)
- Video button (start, stop, switch mode)
- Photo button (take photo / switch mode)
- Power off (turns off your camera)
Please note that the camera has to be turned on or on standby in order for a RC watch to work. You can not turn camera on via the watch, it has to be done manually. Also you can not do any complex operation, such as change settings or white balance via the watch. Which I do not mind at all.
