SJCAM M20

[DaveM]

At 2:21 in the video, there is an evergreen-looking tree leaning to the left. Is that tree still there, and what kind of tree is it? I suppose that might be an effect of the wide-angle lens.

There are a few of those trees in our suburb and they all lean like that. Apparently it is the wind that makes them do that. I am not sure what they called.

I am also trying to see a difference and cannot, however the quality is not as good as in the video before and upload to these sites.

I did find some nice software that is free now I just have to get used to using it.

Dave, thanks for this tip. I am a real neophyte at this.

I am starting to think it was the editor that I was using that gave this poor end result. I used the new one here HitFilm Express: Free editing & VFX software - fxhome.com and it seems a lot better.

@Greyfell you will notice a few of those trees in this video. I thought Google was my friend but not so much when I tried finding out the name of this tree. Notice how they all have that lean to them.

If there is a difference I can't see it. It looks good to me.

 

[Greyfell]

@DaveM, you're right, this software seems better.

After using this cam for a month I have added my review to the first post.

 

[CarlS]

A really good, comprehensive review. Thanks, Dave.

 

[DaveM]

Well I hope it might help someone here.

It seems to be a pretty good unit and reasonably priced.

It is and I am happy with what I got for the price.

I just added this onto the original post

Edit Two

Well after only using this as a dash cam on short trips around 15 to 20 minutes I started using it for a longer duration. At around 40 minutes this camera will overheat and shut-down, so this was a bit of a showstopper for my use and I am now sending it back. I suppose if you use this on a bike the airflow would keep it cool.

Oh dear

Yeah I am rather disappointed as I was enjoying the cam. I suppose I would need to look at the GoPro but the cost is more than double.

 

[CarlS]

That is very disappointing. I am sorry it didn't work.

 

[DaveM]

That make two of us
