GitUp Git1 Action Camera

Synopsis: 2015 year of the sports camera.  GitUp series is one of those recent low cost 1080p breakthrough that caught the attention of casual photographers, enthusiasts and critics alike. Weighing only 64g, it successfully fitted a 1.5 inches LCD viewing screen and yet kept within the standard size for use on a GoPro gimbal. The LCD allows you to see what you are filming; at times you only get one chance on a shot, and not seeing what you are filming, can be a bummer if you missed half of it.  Here is our day with this camera on a impossible mission or was that mission impossible…

The Git1 manages to find room to include Wi-Fi capabilities that can be set-up if you have a smartphone or tablet that supports wifi. In addition, you can connect your favorite 3.5mm Stereo external microphone, which means you don’t have to hear your heavy breathing or wind sound on a windy day…

The Git1 is only capable of shooting at a maximum of 1080P HD video: 1920 x 1080; 30fps but the Git2 promises to double the frame rates. As a Remote Pilot, I look for AV out, and Git1 is AV ready (same USB as a GoPro), the angle of View: 160°,120° if it matters to you for FPV flying.

This watch-like control was designed for GitUp Git1 Action Camera to remotely control the camera to take videos and pictures. Using a standard Built-in lithium CR2032 battery, the control distance: 5 – 7 meters
The Git1 carries a 950mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery, other features Micro-HDMI Port and a Watch remote control.

The Git1 is a great entry as a action sports camera, but the needed improvement is on the microphone, and this is corrected on the next version of the Gitup series.
