That said, 1080p60 is REALLY smooth and much nicer to look at than 1080p30, even with the gyro turned off. However, my monitor is only 1080p, so can't fully test the quality of these higher resolution video settings. This helps enable the Gyro function above, but also lets you record at up to 2880x2160 at 24fps, as well as 1080p at 60 fps. The next big feature that you can't see from the outside - a faster processor and a higher resolution Sony image sensor. Still pretty good considering how small this camera is. With it enabled, you'll get around 80 minutes. Without gyro stabilization, you'll get about 90 minutes of recording time in 1080p60. The only downside is slightly lower battery life, and a slightly narrower field of view (FOV). It's all digital and done completely inside the camera with no moving parts. You can turn this on in the menus (or set the right button to toggle gyro on/off) and it will help reduce or eliminate shaking from your videos. GitUp added a 6-axis accelerometer similar to what smartphones, tablets and video game controllers (like the Wiimote) use to determine orientation and movement. Inside the camera, the changes are much more dramatic. Menus look sharper and icons have more detail, which helps them be more descriptive. Turn them on though, and the Git2 clearly has a higher resolution screen. In fact if you put them side by side, the only way to tell them apart is the label on the front panel. The outer chassis of the Git2 is the same as the Git1. I couldn't remove the battery with my gloves on, but the case opened just fine. I found that I was even able to open and close this case with my thick snow-skiing gloves on when it was time to change the battery. It feels much more sturdy than the flip-top latch on other camera cases. It uses the same waterproof case as the Git1, which has a lock knob on the left side which I really liked. For the small price difference, there's no reason NOT to get the Pro pack, especially when it comes with this nice waterproof case. The standard pack basically only comes with a camera and a battery - no mounts, no cases, no extras. The Pro package comes with a waterproof case, some mounts, and other accessories, pictured below. Digital Image Stabilization (aka "Gyro"). Here's a few highlights from the spec sheet though: I won't bore you with a specs sheet - you can find that on GitUp's website. So how can you improve on the Git1? Well, GitUp found a way. The original Git1 has WiFi, 1080p, an excellent Sony image sensor, supports external USB microphones, fits in GoPro 3+/4 cases, and does pretty much anything a GoPro will do for way less money than the GoPro. The Git2 is GitUp's followup to their successful Git1 action camera. If you're like me and would rather read a written review with more detail than a short video can contain, then you're in the right place. Remember that YouTube compresses video and makes it look terrible, especially during fast-motion scenes like action cameras often produce - download the raw files to judge the true quality yourself. I put it through its paces and I liked what I saw. In Wi-Fi client mode, you'll need to check the IP address displayed on the screen (toggle the network information display by pressing the settings button or the mode button).Back in December 2015, GitUp provided me with a review unit for their new Git2 action camera. Simply choose "Open network stream" and type rtsp:// followed by the camera's IP address. On Android, you can use VLC Media Player, available in the Play Store. To view the stream, all you need is a video player capable of opening an RTSP stream. The camera serves up a video feed via RTSP whenever it is connected to WiFi (client mode or AP mode). So this Gist aims to be an unofficial manual for the Git2, and it may be applicable to other GitUp cameras. I had to read 3 forum posts to even figure out how to connect it to a wifi network. I love my Git2P camera, but I am very disappointed in the unprofessional forum-style support available for even basic functions on the cameras. Unofficial Manual for GitUp Git2/Git2P Action Cameras
