Video Quality – Low LightĪt night, this camera offers two modes: Low Light On and, surprise, Low Light Off. Occasionally some situations have problems with exposure such as this pathway which is surrounded by many shadows. This over exposure also happens in other situations with a lot of shadows as this camera is not great at holding onto highlights and instead pushes them far too vibrant. Also, it tends to blow out the sky in almost a “nuke” type pop of brightness (albeit not as bad as the original IMX078 Novatek cameras). As with most Novatek cameras, this cam by default colour balances too reddish in situations that should be bright green. However, colour balance is still not great. Gitup has really refined the Novatek platform over the years and it shows in the quality of their firmware. Lens flares are smaller and more pleasant and sharpness persists throughout the frame. There is a great level of video detail in almost every resolution offered, with the lens quality of this camera being notably better than many budget cams. It is not particularly useful, so better use the 1440p instead. It offers the typical Novatek stretched fake 4K, upscaled from 2880×2160 24FPS to fill a normal video frame. In the day the video quality of this camera is quite good, although not excellent. Settings are broken down into two separate menus, one for overall settings such as date and time, and the other for function specific settings such as video resolution. The user interface is intuitive and well thought out. There is no secondary battery included which is unfortunate because this camera does not take the standard batteries that many budget cameras take, so the availability may be limited. This camera is not waterproof without an external case, which is included in the box, as are a basic set of mounts. On the back is a large and vibrant touch screen that is easy to see during the day. Unlike other budget cameras, it has quite a bit of weight to it and that lends to a solid feeling. The build quality of this camera is sturdy.

Optional accessories: external mic, secondary (slave) camera, GPS unit.It supports a high level of customization, is easy to use and has decent video quality overall, making it a compelling option when the prices is under $100. The base unit itself, the only component tested in this review, is more like an ordinary action camera.

Those include a secondary camera unit that can be hooked up to the main unit and a GPS module – interesting features for adventure trekkers, motorcyclists and quad/atv riders.

If the price is over $80 USD, this camera may be too expensive for the video quality unless you specifically need some of the special features it offers. Reconnect the camera to your computer and wait more seconds until you can chose Mass Storage from camera menu, the front green LED and back red LED will be blinking while upgrading.The Gitup G3 Duo is a few years old at this point, and now with a lower price (at least in Canada) it represents a fantastic value.Copy the GIT2FW.bin file on the root of the card.
