Using the smartphone charger with the cam’s own cable I went to charge the battery. See more about the battery in the Specifications.Ĭamera underside, with 1/4″-20 tripod bush and 1200mAh battery revealed. It is rather friction-resistive, and it feels safe.īeneath the battery cover, you’ll be happy to see one fat Li-ion battery taking up about 1/3rd of the total camera volume. And there is a spring-loaded battery cover that slides out to unlock. There is a brass-made, six-turns-deep standard ¼“-20 tripod bushing, just slightly off the lens’ optical axis. Good things are found on the cam underside, too. Before you get used to this you might search for a while, especially if you’re wearing gloves. The front (ON / Mode) button has a gently engraved switch symbol on its surface, which helps to locate it until you remember it’s diagonally on the other end from the lens! The top (Shutter) button is smooth, and you find it by the difference in texture amid its surrounding surface. At first, you need to feel the surface difference to locate them. The two buttons are just slightly convex and set flush with the front and upper surface. Still, this cam design details somehow compensate for a rather uninventive overall shape. I can only grumble until someone deigns to pay attention. There’s a lot of ceteras, but here we are. 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. Note: Buy Gitup G3 Duo from these recommended sellers | Amazon Official Store | Official Website | Official Retailer | AliExpress stores | Build Quality
One single accessory found in the package is a plastic ring that fixes the Slave cam to its base mount.Ĭonnecting the two cameras introduces you to something… let me call it Chameleon View… since that lizard too can independently direct each of its eyes!
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. In this article, let me gently dissect a highly-anticipated GitUp G3 Duo camera.
