sure thanks -

for BM - since you have this camera - would you know what the flashing blue light means on the top ?

The clue is in the colour! BluTooth I think. Or recording?

i think it may be that its recording - its blue - i did a search and it said - flashing blue recording -

strange that i didnt notice it till end of the day - i though something went wrong during the day - i must have missed that it started flashing from the start - i can turn off the light also - i may just do that -

i have it set to Med bitrate and looks great - smooth - and only used half the card so far - over 3 hours in use so i should be good for 6 hours with the 64gig at 1080p/60

i will try 2K today - see how that come works out

[expresso]

I used the camera today - with a High bitrate setting - 1080p/60 - for some reason - i feel either it made it worse - i would think higher bitrate would make it better overall picture movement etc,

todays video - not sure i like it now - to add a video on here - i need to upload it utube first ?

i like to put a few clips here - to get some suggestions on this video quality - seems smooth most times and not so - cant decide what to do

if its a setting or this is it ?

this is card i am using - it should be fine ?

[snaker]

I am using a Toshiba 64G. Its write speed is 40MB/s lower than that Samsung but it works fine with 2K recording. I usually record at 1080p@60fps, it offers around 4hrs of continuously recording.

[expresso]

ok so the card is good then - i uploaded a few clips on utube - let me see if i can post them here

also i think - it can also be my laptop i am on watching them - its cpu video - not dedicated video card etc, - its possiable that may be it also ?

will run it on my desktop - to compare - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYp8J6V ... e=youtu.be

[expresso]

ok that didnt work - lets try again

now i look over those clips - they seem better on utube now - than on my laptop before i uploaded them - how can that be ?

[Burgerman]

No idea. Does your laptop have the same refresh rate as the 30 or 60fps you took them at? Is the laptop screen 1080p resolution or are you looing at a re-interpolated image?

laptop is 1080p - not sure abour refresh rate - - another thing with the camera - - in the settings - Feq. is either 50hz or 60hz - which do i use ? its on 50hz - i left it there -

today i went back to Med. bitrate - - didnt see any difference from Med to High - and it took an extra 10gig - - went back to Med - and 1080p/30 Super - what ever that means - we see - format to MOV - instead of MP4 - and turned on WDR -

color temp is normal - the other settings are stock - light Auto - low light - High - etc, - or i am even thinking it can be me myself with the chair ? looks sunny today - will take a little ride and see how it comes out -

[Burgerman]

In the US the mains is 60 cycles. in the UK the mains is 50 cycles.

My laptop can have its screen refresh rate set to 50 cycles or 60 cycles. Or 30 cycles... or 25 cycles.

If you are trying to convert to a US standard DVD or something and your TVs and everything are set to 30 or 60 cycles then you set the cam to 60 or 30.

If you try to play back on a LCD laptop at 60 fps you better make sure its not set to 50... Or 25. Or 30...

In the UK we use PAL for TV which is higher resolution but lower refresh or frames per sec compared to the US...

Cam frequency affects lights flikering on different AC mains frequencies.

[expresso]

i am referring to the camera itself - in the settings - its at 50hz - - maybe thats just if you connect it to a TV and play it off your camera -

i will change it to 60hz anyway and leave it alone - -

how can i get the utube video to show up here like the others ? - i see the utube tab on top here - if i click it - then what - i tried putting the link inbetween the tabs after i click on youtube on here but nothing showed up

Dont know what you are doing but you broke utube!

Dont know what you are doing but you broke utube!

i cant seem to get anything right lately - camera - chair programming - today at 1080/p30 super and reg. 30 - i have to say 60 fps is better

smooth which makes me look as i am moving slower also - strange - i tried 2k - didnt view it yet- not expecting anything special - the video you linked with your RC buggy - seems good - mines moving dosnt seem as Sharp - or maybe its just me


2k isnt anything special i viewed a clip - - i have contrast on High - maybe low would better - and color temp cool - will have to play around with this thing

maybe i am expecting too much from this avg. cameras

[Burgerman]

Thats 60fps and stability on, everything else stock. You can play back 60fps at 50, thats gona look slower? Who knows what you are doing over in new york!

Replay on a proper desktop, maybe your laptop has refresh rates set up wrong, funny video driver settings, or something.

[expresso]

who knows - did you look at the above video - how does it look to you ?

does it look normal - or seem like slow motion or some sort ?

go to my utube channel - expresso4712 - i have many videos - if you look at some - they are all with the older camera -

and compare - if you notice any difference


the one that says camera testing is this new camera - the rest are from old one

[snaker]

It seems expresso broke some youtube rules (maybe adult content ). All expresso's uploaded videos are actually forbidden.

really - theres worse than that on utube - did you see the video - what do you think of the quality etc, - ? if you watch the others - thats my old camera that broke -

to me at times it seems the old camera was better - i almost feel like returning it -

[snaker]

On my PC, I only see this when I open your youtube links.

[expresso]

strang - have no idea why that is - you cant see any on my page ? i have over 50 i think - nothing special

[Burgerman]

Cant see them either...



You need computer lessons!

thats my channel on utube - i have tons of videos there - if you go to this link - you dont see any of them ? i can see them fine here -

a few clips i uploaded i set to private - but all the otheres are public - over 50 of them maybe

[Burgerman]

All work fine. Once you learn to drive your computer, even here!!

etc...

[expresso]

what do you think of the video quality - thats the SJCAM - i feel its not any much better than the others ?

camera testing is the SJCAM - the others are the older cam i believe -

[Burgerman]

Well its too compressed (you or utube or setting somewhere on cam or utube) and thats not 60fps on utube

Th cam can do better than what we are seeing.

Remember UTUBE Makles it WORSE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuRCT8WmFvY

[expresso]

i agree its compressed and not expecting Utube to be great - but even before i load it up to utube - i remove it from my camera and its on my computer before being touched - its better than utube for sure - but that link you just posted shows alot better -

not sure what i can set on the camera - its 1080p/60 - still seems so so - sometimes i feel its better - some spots - sections of the video - and then others - not so great - i feel like buying another one - different and test it - then return one of them

or just return this one and start over - my main concern is - i want 1080p/60 now - at least 64gig card needs to handle or more - 2 inch screen - and some kind of anti shaking gryo thing - those are the must haves now -

with so many to choose from - its harder to weed out the bad ones

[Burgerman]

What player are you using?

Have you tried it on a real PC because your laptop may struggle at 1080/60fps and may not work well...

Settings, drivers, player, etc... Inadequate built in graphics capability and loads more.

[expresso]

i wont judge by the laptop - i am on my desktop - should be fine to run the video - video player - VLC player - or i could try the windows version - i am searching for another camera on amazon - more i look the harder it gets -

do you have another video player i should try ?
