Hello to everyone,
I'm Luca, from Italy, I've just received my GIT2 from some days; I've bought it after sending back to Amazon my Xiaomi Yi because of too many bugs which led me in considering the Yi Camera a very awful action cam.
My first impressions on the GIT2 are really good, it's an awesome camera with so many settings which give to the camera an enormous potential, I'm definitely in love with it.
I'm just sorry to say there are still some little things which i'm not really satisfied in it, I'd like to know if i'm doing something wrong or they're just unresolved bugs :
Gitup GIT2 Pro, Firmware v.1.2_1224, Windows 7 Professional
1) The camera has a LOT of warm pixels, I've counted up to 13, i didn't resolved using high ISO (e.g.50), they still appears in low light conditions, making the video look dirty, as some light spots covering the image (screenshot from a video in the dark attached to this post). My previous Xiaomi Yi had the same sensor, I've just thought the Gitup buy cheaper low quality Exmor sensors to low the price. May I solve the problem to make that light spots less visible?
2) Does the camera have an option to rotate the video upside down while recording? The Xiaomi does for using it as dashcam.
3) In time lapse mode, the leds and the red dot indicator on the LCD keep flashing NOT 1 second ON/1 second OFF, but 1 video second ON/1 video second OFF; e.g. if I made a lapse where 1s correspond to 1 real minute, the Led blinks 1 minute on/1 minute off. I ruined a lot of time lapses because i thought the camera was not recording because had no indicators on (both on the screen and the leds).
I think this is a little bug.
4) Using as PC CAMERA, on my pc shows 2 webcam ("DEMO1", and "DEMO1") and 2 microphones ("DEMO1", and "DEMO1") . Why two? Btw the real problem is that the webcam is really unstable: it always crashed and I have to reconnect it every time before using it. Skype doesn't recognize it, Hangout does but It don't work if I use it to receive call, it just crashes and disconnect as I answer the call...I just can use it to send a call, after setting it up. Do you have more stable drivers for the camera? Why there are 2 couples of devices instead one?
5) The camera, connected to the computer, after selecting "MASS STORAGE", it's recognize immediately (in device list) but the folder take every time more than a minute to show up on my PC (even if drivers are previously installed, so the problem is not the installation which I previously did). Too way much. How can I lower the time it need to connect?
6) I have no audio output of the video in playback mode, neither when I playback a video on the camera, neither when I connect it on a tv via HDMI cable, the only way to listen to the video's audio is downloading the video on my pc ; am I doing something wrong or it just can't do this?
SOLVED IN V1.3 FIRMWARE
7) Using with the remote controller, to take a photo, it needs a click if i'm already in photo mode, two clicks if I'm in another modes (one for select the mode, and another one to take the picture). The same for record a video. The problem is that I try to guess the status mode of the camera from the front leds the problem is that the video mode has a red led the same way as Settings mode and Playback mode has. There is a way where i can just take a picture/video pressing just once?
8) I'd really need more options in time lapse mode, expecially between 1 and 5 second per frame. It taked a really big difference in that interval.

9) What's the Custom Text Stamp?

11) There is a way to stop recording automatically when the video is started by the G sensor or movement sensor? Set this way the recording goes indefinitely.

4) If I select Slow motion mode, e.g. 8x,it records on VGA/30FPS loosing no matter which kind of video mode/speed I select, since it's used low FPS the video flaunces, not smooth at all. Why not use higher FPS? Why can't I select the video size\speed which I like?About the slow motion, let me explain it better:
if I choose 4x, it automatically record at 720p/120FPS, and it work smoothly; if I choose 8x, it record at VGA/30FPS, and the video it's quite blocky; i think it should be recorded at least at 240FPS, but I can't change this setting because no matter what video size I set in the relative menù item, the slow motion setting automatically overwrite it at VGA/30FPS making it useless.
- 2x - 720P30
- 4x - 720P30
- 8x - VGAP30

10) When the gitup app will be available? The FINALCAM one keep crashing on my table. Really awful app.You can add a custom text over the video, like a nickname, or the place where you are filming, etc. It works similar to the license plate number

Thanks for everyone will help me, I do really love this camera this is why I would to keep it working perfectlyI just did some other testing, Auto power off to 30 min, screen shutdown to 1 min, and it will capture 1min video after a movement detected, as many times it happens in 30 min, then it will shut down. It just works perfect. The only problem is that it works only in movement sensor mode, in G sensor mode it don't work, for this reason when u set G mode on it automatically set the loop recording. :/
