[atleulessov]

Dear forum users! The circle of "suspects" has narrowed - or SJ8 plus, or SJ8 pro ... Help with the choice please !!! And what are the advantages of choosing ...?

[pfantom2004]

atleulessovI would take pro. Why. Because 4k60fps. Yes, and iron is the best of the entire line

[atleulessov]

thank!

Posted 07/06/2018 13:33:

I ordered it with Ali ... I will post photos and impressions

[pfantom2004]

atleulessov, but I would not take it now in half a year at least. Software and iron should finish.

Why. Because 4k60fps. Yes, and iron is the best of the entire line

For such a price, the GoPro HERO 2018 is easier to take, with those 4k 60fps.
The Chinese are bummed too, it is necessary to break off)
H2 is no longer actually the old processor.
Xiaomi YI 4K + PLUS has long been released and the price is lower.

[Dima5700]

Got my sj8plus while testing.

[pfantom2004]

Multisoft1978, this gopro 2018 is like 2k60 fps maximum.

[pfantom2004]

Well, here's another question where to store these 4k (well, you can on YouTube, but the quality will be cut off). But even harder is the question on what to look? You buy a camera with the ability to shoot 4k and also buy a TV for 30 ku, well, if it is on TV. And if on a computer? This is a monitor for 20 and a video card (and taking into account the bitcoin boom, either the highest price and the lower price segment remained) this 40 is at least (for those who like to play 10 thousand less)

[pfantom2004]

Dr.W0lf, Duc and I about the same that hero 2018 does not know how to write 4k, but gopro 6 can, but it costs 30+. I'd rather sony take for that kind of money

hero 2018 doesn’t know how to write 4k, but gopro 6 can do but costs 30+

Here is an interesting article about the fact that the hero 2018 is in fact identical to Hero 5 only in it the functionality is stabbed in the firmware
https: //gethypoxic.com...actually-a-gopro-hero5
and about how to tweak the firmware to fix the dick in the top five black

Dima5700,

Interested in the following info about SJCAM SJ8 PRO.

1) What is the maximum mode bitrate?
2) Is it possible to output a video stream to an external monitor (recorder)? HDMI is now gone, as I understood ...
3) How do you evaluate the sound from microphones? On GoPro, the sound seems to be better.
4) What else can be connected to USB?
5) What happened to the external microphone?
6) Is it possible to be powered by Paua Bank?

[lk16]

Today I received my SjCam SJ8 pro full set, now I conduct tests) I bought for $ 195 (I arrived in Kharkov in 32 days). More spare parts and remote control, while everything pleases, the functionality is excellent. After updating to the latest firmware, the Russian language disappeared, but this is not very important))
Who wants to buy cheaper, I can tell you how. Contact lichku ...)))

[lk16]

atleulessov - Only SJ8 pro! The matrix is ​​normal in it and more bells and whistles with a reserve for the future ... the same sloumo, for its sake you can take it)

[lk16]

Alex6268
1- Testil today in 4K 60 frames (maximum speed) - 60MB-63MB stream (with sound)
2- On the external monitor, only the FPV turn or a prog on the phone (this is the same technology as you go) You can watch it in fact, transfer the file to a computer or copy via USB-C
3- The sound was not tested, it was filmed in the aquabox, sometimes it was very quiet, but you can make out the words ...
4- For me, too, the question?
5- It may be an external microphone via USB-C, but for now the Chinese are finishing everything ....
6- There is no need, the camera must be maneuverable and there is no point in disconnecting the external battery! I just bought another set of charging + 2 batteries for $ 14 (here you can charge them in a backpack from a crib in a circle ....)

[pfantom2004]

lk16, lk166) Someone like, I use the bike as a video recorder. And it was enough for an hour of shooting in good quality and a bank for 10k at 12 o'clock. I bought myself such a crap and forgot everything about the battery. Only a memory card changed every three hours

[lk16]

pfantom2004 possible and so, everyone has their own goals)

[Alex6268]

lk16,, thanks for the detailed answer. Not the most critical bitrate, by the way.
pfantom2004,similarly, I also plan to pair the described device with a bicycle and kayak. I think to create a waterproof tandem with pawabank. Interested in whether it makes sense to finish the external sound. It seems to me that from under the boxing background noise will be inexpressive.
