Reason for editing: True battery capacity, by zugie

[Alex.CY]

A week has become a "happy" owner of this device. While extremely mixed feelings and still need to test, I will describe only the first impressions (I will prepare the video later)
Bought, of course, on the processor and the sensor, a large screen with protected glass and so on.
Purchased on fasttech ~ $ 100 at the end of November. I came with a fully discharged battery and almost dead batteries in the BT console. Included micro-USB (1A) cable with mini-USB connector on the camera. Install the latest firmware from offsite.
+
- honest 4k / 30
- Gorilla Glass (or its equivalent), touch screen and menu similar to Yi 4K
- the presence of stabilization, correction of "fish eye", HDR (only one works, otherwise the frame rate drops to 22-12fps)
- stabilization is available in all shooting modes
- 1080/120, 720/240
- BT remote control, external microphone output, 1/4 thread mounting on a tripod, soft-touch coating

-/+
- video in 1080 30-120fps looks interpolated, rough, not very detailed. Perhaps fix the firmware.
- the picture is cold, contrast andoverly juicy.So I understand the brand for Soocoo, the C30 is the same.up. can be set in the settings 3 options for color saturation
- the equipment is good, the main rear door of the aquabox with a thin transparent plastic to work with the touch-screen, but the spare rear door is a dull black plastic without cuts to record sound.
- In the aquabox there are no side buttons. In the presence of the BT remote is not a problem, but a strange solution.
- Only FAT32 supported

- (partly in comparison with YI 4k)
- in the bright sun the picture on the screen is almost invisible, there is no brightness adjustment. The strongest inversion seen from above, moreover, from the bottom and from the sides, everything is OK.
- tach blunt, in the aquabox in general "popabol"
- strong chromatic aberration
- The battery sits extremely quickly, barely enough for an hour. The subject is charged with a current of 0.5A. Of the stated 1200mah - real 940mah. (after a couple of days of use 560mah, possibly defective) Spare ones are not expensive, but there is no external charger for sale.
- to change the battery in the BT console, you need to disassemble it completely, remove the card.
- with a microphone a constructive flaw - the sound writes "inside the case"

In general, when the camera was announced, a lot of things were announced, which is not in it at the moment: voice control, use as a video recorder, motion detection and a web camera (does not work on Mac OS). Perhaps all this will be in the new firmware.

Yes, and relative to H.254 files weigh approximately 20%.

Not much. They promised a decrease in half.

Here is the firmwareBy the way, fresh from December 19th.

[otradnez]

Use as a DVR and webcam is already available on the old firmware ... connect the USB to the computer and wait until the drivers are installed. The webcam starts to work in any of the applications, everything is clear. I like the stabilization. The 1080 video has poor detail. This was the ancient sj4000 quality of the recording, as it were, more suited me. I already opened the camera, looked at the element base. The processor's authenticity is in doubt. It does not look like Huawei brand products. The sensor is quite large. Perhaps the original. Not every lens is suitable instead of the native one. The light filter is glued directly to the reverse lens window. At the same time, traces of glue are visible. Your hands would be torn off for such work. At the foreign forums, you can’t tackle this camera: where there is deception. I, as an electronics engineer, fell for the element base, but along the way the Chinese are again ahead of the whole planet. The vast Chinese diaspora created a five-star brand on the aliexpress site)))

For some reason, the firmware does not enter my camera automatically. I don’t have any problems with the flash drive from the Samsung 100MB that the author describes above. Everything works fine for me ... the discharged Akum also came, but after the charge-discharge cycle, they are fully functional. I could not completely discharge the frames in an hour and a half ... eating a lot and eating when the display is on, I recommend putting the minimum display time on it. I already threw a couple of videos on YouTube with 1080 recording examples. I would only understand the firmware. ..

The authenticity of the processor in doubt. Very unlike the products of the brand Huawei

Why? In your photo (if you look closely) you can see the marking of the HiSilicon chip. To the left of the chip you can see the contacts UART - RX / TX / GND. You, as an electronics engineer, should be helpful.

I do not record when I connect the power, there are no options in the menu. When connected to a computer (mac), I see a flash drive, but as an external camera it is not detected.
firmware is the last.

Do you have a microphone in the case of writing sound?

[Alex.CY]

Do I understand correctly, in the upper right corner of the microphone?


Taking into account that the board is not closed by anything, and between the lens and the body there is a significant gap - dust will be swallowed up over the summer be healthy.

[otradnez]

the microphone is somewhere on the bottom board along the way, there are holes under ... in a metal case this is a gyroscope chip. The lens is of course not ice, and the shipping film stuck to it, removed the marks left ... now the sun is glare. You should try to see the quality in 4K.1920na1440 ..... already the detailing is better. the comp is starting to fail at me. In the installation, I will say that this camera will continue to be afraid of vibrations. Let somewhere on the panel or on the steering wheel of a motor technician where it is jolting, vibration, the processor will start gradually otpaivatsya.Po wifi, I have not tried to connect It seems that the program on the phone was installed on the scanner without any problems. It is strange that before I tried the new firmware, the wi-fi did not turn on immediately when the camera was turned on. Now, when it is turned on, the icon is activated and the icon hangs until it is manually turned off.

I do not want to touch the trains, otherwise I would have disassembled and looked. I’m talking about two pins, along the way this is a microphone, it looks similar and the sound improvement when the cover is removed confirms this.
The perforation under the mic is covered with such a garbage.

[otradnez]

Yes, I looked at it like a microphone, its dimensions. I also hurried with the tracker, purchased from s100, and these models have different plugs. Now you need to rewire or order an adapter. there is no analog video output ... I thought it would be like it was implemented via USB. Here is a link to what I collected from the sellers for a menu that does not include instructionshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwCnaJT_sy8

[Alex.CY]

Made screenshots from the VLC player and one photo for example. careful traffic!

4K (17mb)


1080/60 (11mb)



photo (5mb)

IMHO, with a lens full order, sharpness is excellent even at the edges. But here to shoot in 1080 there is no desire: (speed sausage, not the line ... and took from 1080/120

All the way around. There is no GPS support in this camera, and the AV output should be in place.

And should be

[nutsey]

Alex.CY,so is there micro or mini usb really?

[otradnez]

I must continue to figure it out myself ... the seller wrote that there was no av exit, and I calmed down ... I didn’t open the video output on one of the sj 4000 firmwares, but it was on the menu.http: //www.silicondevi...C_Brief_Data_Sheet.pdf
