True, the cam still appears designed from the monitor out, being boringly brick-like with the lens tube sticking out of the frontal upper corner… This is already becoming hard to grasp nowadays, as there are so many better form factors to explore! I tend to repeat myself lamenting on designers which stubbornly stick with a box-in-the-box concept, instead of building the innards right into the solid water- and pressure-proof box, et cetera. This all-black cam with dark glass touchscreen the whole just spells hi-tech and hi-taste. Its front plate edges are elegantly inclined toward the body. The camera sides are grippy with tasteful diagonal corrugation. Everything feels nice and sturdily compact to the eyes and touch as if the product is a single piece. GitUp obviously values precision in production and putting together of all components. It is high, and no doubt about it whatsoever.

The other end features a mini USB contact with the same clever shape used with SJCAM SJ6 Legend Air. It is a hefty, tubular camera on one end of a 5mm thick cable. The other box holds the GitUp Duo Slave camera – revealing the „duo“ hint in this cam’s name. Each of those parts is in its own ziploc ® bag, and all that is in one bigger ziploc bag. The large box contains a GitUp G3 Duo camera in its protective casing and, you guessed it, one smaller box. When I cut through the bands and sticking tape, I see about a year’s supply of plastic bubble sheets. The box is rather heavy, feels like a well-packed brick. It is wickedly wicked in brown sellotape, adorned with stickers and crisscrossed with fiber bands for safety appearance and rough handling. And there’s our postman, first producing the receipt book to be signed, and then he hands over one big cardboard box. The car honks outside, our doggies scream back and run to the balcony to see what’s up. The scene opens just like so many times before. After the company’s great success with Git 1 and Git 2, we at Pevly have been quite excited at the chance to test the successor to a well-known pair, as soon as the G3 was announced. Looking at the instruction book there is one thing which concerns me.In this article, let me gently dissect a highly-anticipated GitUp G3 Duo camera. I purchased the external microphone (so I can fit it inside my helmet) The fact this camera features image stabilisation (as well as many other features) makes it a HUGE step up from my GoProHero2 ! Plus 1080p ought to be perfectly adequate for the time being. So I'm a bit peeved about that but the camera is significantly cheaper than a gopro 7 or 8 so I can't complain too much I don't reckon. Therefore it makes sense for me to record in So as far as I can see - for YouTube - there is no benefit to me in recording at higher than 1080p (but lower than 4K) When making the purchase decision I THOUGHT this was 4K, and at least one review I read said so - however I hsoudl have read the site very carefully - max resolution is actually 2160p -> 2880*2160P 24 fps. When running the main camera only (as likely most owners would be doing) there are more resolution options available. If you were to run this system with a slave camera - then both cameras record at 1080p / 30fps. Given the white is brighter than the orange that seems counter-intuitive but now I know it it's not a problem. There's a significant lag (around 1 second) between things actually occurring and them showing on the 'live view' in the app but that's not a problem at all - it's not really intended to be used as a live monitor, but primarily as set-up aid.Ĭhanging settings on the screen isn't hard, but it did take me awhile to figure out that when the setting is orange that's the 'on' and white is 'off'. It'll take a while to get used to the camera settings (as to where they are in the menus etc) but that'd be the case with any camera.ĭidn't have any real trouble hooking up the app, which will be handy for the live view function when I set the camera up on the helmet to be confident it's pointing in the right direction when worn.Īlso allows some (but I don't think all) settings to be changed a bit easier than via camera menus. So far I've opened the package, set the batteries to charge and had just a brief play with it.
