    Your attention to content and quality is amazing! Keep up the great work too, I think all in depth reviews should be like this for most tech products on RUclips! Maybe with a brief 5-8 min version for the inpatient people with all the info just being touched on. Well done!

    Bob, spot metering is used when there is a look of white in the frame. examples; white wedding dress, white shirts, white church and bright white clouds.
    the biggest improvement this camera needs is a 155 degree lens. and get rid of the fisheye effect and the whites in the image would be knocked down a bit. which would improve 50% sky shots.
    the more frames per sec really gives you nice color.
    nice work. thx

    Dear Bobflyman, thank you for this interesting video. Your video made me decide to buy this camera, and I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Beautiful town! Can't wait to visit one day.

    I am amazed that the sound quality is quite decent to actual usability unlike just about every other Chinese action cam out there (Yi, Eken, Elephone, Gitup).

    Thank you bobflyman for taking the time to publish all of your review videos! :-) I got the SJ 5000x elite but the door for the battery broke on the first day. :-( I was going to get the Gitup Git2 until I saw your review for ThiEYE T5e. When I saw the discount price above I could not resist and had to buy it! The camera seems to be as good or better than the cameras in your 5 camera review.
    Cheers!

    • @vagnesp1
      @vagnesp1 7 лет назад

      Do you think thiEYE T5 is better than Gitup Git2? I want to buy one Git2, after watch comparison videos of the Bob.

    • @richhauser4812
      @richhauser4812 7 лет назад +1

      The ThiEYE has better video specs and looks as good or better than the others IMHO. A side by side comparison of the two would be nice. The Gitup Git2 has an external microphone capability - plus if you like to have that sort of option. Like Bob says, the camera selection is really in the eye of the beholder and what your budget allows. If I had a lot of money to spend I would get the Hero 5 but since I do not I opted for the ThiEYE.

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  7 лет назад

      I was very impressed with it too. I will make a comparison with the Git2 soon.

  • @MrWhiltetail
    @MrWhiltetail 5 лет назад +1

    Great review. You mentioned needing a powerful computer to edit 4k but some editors can use proxy files so you can easily edit 4k on a low end computer. If your editor doesn't use proxy's you can still do so through a little trickery. There are video's that show how to use proxy's with editors that don't have that option.

  • @KevinHallSurfing
    @KevinHallSurfing 7 лет назад +1

    The T5 comes in a different box but with a bag and antifogs, J hook buckle, flat mount buckle, sound slotted clear backplate, buckle plates, 3M pads etc. added. The box was *vertical* with cam set in a plastic box display mounted on top in a waterproof case.
    The *original T5e* was in a smaller black box, no waterproof case (an optional extra) and no rotating buckle. Only ONE battery, USB cable, manual and cloth. Did get a little press in rubbery cover for USB/SD/HDMI area though. I know this seems odd but ThiEYE have definitely changed a few things according to customer demands.

    • @TheLazyWandererMys
      @TheLazyWandererMys 7 лет назад

      Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt T5e comes with an external mic port right which T5 did not have?

    • @KevinHallSurfing
      @KevinHallSurfing 7 лет назад +1

      The Lazy Wanderer Not originally. Firstly ThiEYE added a waterproof case to T5e pack, then through some vendors like GearBest added a second battery.
      Latest and most *controversial* change to T5e is adding a microphone port when f/w version 170401 was released and now NOT compatible with previous versions of T5 or T5e which were both identical except for packaging and accessories.
      Will they continue upgrading the firmware for T5 or T5e (no mic version) is yet to be seen. Not sure whether the T5 now comes with a mic port either?
      So, except for the T5 cams rubbery USB HDMI port cover, sound vented clear back plate and drawstring bag, not available as spares from ThiEYE by the way, the T5e (economic) version would be the better buy.

    • @TheLazyWandererMys
      @TheLazyWandererMys 7 лет назад +1

      Kevin Hall and i was thinking e in T5e stood for external mic, lol. Btw thanks for the detailed explanation, i honestly had no clue about all those changes. Planning to buy a T5e soon.

    • @KevinHallSurfing
      @KevinHallSurfing 7 лет назад +1

      Aha yes we all are wondering what to call it? T5m and the cheaper "economic" version T5em or T5me LOL

    • @KevinHallSurfing
      @KevinHallSurfing 7 лет назад +1

      The Lazy Wanderer At this point I think safest is GearBest as they only have the latest T5e (latest f/w, 2 x batteries and mic port).
      Searching other sites there is no indication what firmware revision you will get or if Ext. Mic. is included?
      On AliExpress I found an early T5e without waterproof case for sale and likely an old rev. firmware and definitely no mic. A real crap shoot.
      Edit - Just arrived - T5e with 170401 f/w Mic Port and extra battery from GearBest

      That is the *right* side which is really the *left* side haha. Confusing yes but no way will I drive in USA. And sitting on the wrong side of the car as a passenger is disconcerting too. Like being right handed and trying to play golf with left handed clubs.

  • @nefflz
    @nefflz 7 лет назад

    Thanks once again Mr.Bobflyman. There's a chunky red lens flare at times earlier in the clips. And does it have gyro or is it a more standard electronic stabilization? On the ThiEYE website it mentions it as EIS and not gyro.

    • @dieuwerf
      @dieuwerf 7 лет назад +1

      EiS and Gyro are the same. Gyro just means it uses a tiny digital gyro to aid in digitally stabilizing the video footage. The only camera that has proper optical image stabilization is the sony FDR3000 i think.

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  7 лет назад

      Many of these cameras I've tested have a touch of lens flare and I had seen it. It's a very convex lens so when the sun is to the side I can't see how it can be avoided. I've seen far worse.

  • @dronestuff3431
    @dronestuff3431 7 лет назад

    Thanks for another great review! I have the Yi original and Sj4000 and most recently bought the Hero 5 direct from GoPro. The Hero 5 Audio and stabilization are great, however the battery life sucks. The LCD screen was just horrible.... Herky Jerky and most often required many swipes to make it respond (sometimes it wouldn't). Very Very frustrating. Also noticed the lens cover frame chips and scratches easily, not a big deal, just looks bad. And yes I updated the firmware to the latest and reset camera to default several times.
    I returned the camera last week after 25 days of evaluation. Not impressed at all. I'm looking for a purchase recommendation. Torn between the Git2, Thieye t5e and the Yi4k. Comments appreciated.

      hey bobflyman,
      Its DD here. just wanted to ask a few questions regarding a camera as i need to pick up a budget action camera.
      Just to give you heads up i'l be using this for nightlife purposes like recording live Dj sets, console shots, crowd with the sound.
      So i'll just place the questions and would be great if you could help me here:
      1. Would be a good choice over Yi 4k for recording live sound cuz don't know the number of microphones on this.
      2. You mentioned the low light performance is low so is it too grainy.
      3. Any other option which you could recommend on the same for the purpose im looking at. GO Pro is way outta budget at the moment.
      4. if not thieye t5e which camera would you recommend for the same.
      Would be great if you could help me out here.
      thank you

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  7 лет назад

      Maybe not the perfect camera for really dark night clubs etc. But you'd have to pay 4 or 5 times more for a good dslr with a very wide aperture lens for really good night shots. Probably good enough though

    Hello bobflyman.
    At what settings you format sd card if formatting at PC/laptop?
    At formatting there are more options to choose:
    1. File system
    2. Allocation unit size.
    I'm asking which settings make the best video quality. I mess something with this settings when formatting and now SD card makes max. 100MB videos. What makes a lot of files when shooting just few minute recording.
    Also what lens cap to buy. It would be nice to have some lens cover.
    Thank you, nice videos here.

    • @bobflyman

      I use an old Samsung HMX F80 at 720 res to record my review and unboxing etc. Clips are from the cameras of course.

    Sound is really strange. Sounds like you hear crickets all the time :(

    My app won’t connect either. I turned off cell data and it opens the app but when it initialized it crashes the app. On top of that, this new update is awful and won’t let me turn on the eis. This camera is terrible.

      The camera isn't terrible! There are so many versions of Android and so many different phones, it's probably a phone problem!

      bobflyman so this camera only works with android? If that’s the case, it still going back. I have iPhone.

      @@Dj_Jwoo I didn't say that. I don't know about iphone. But you said the app doesn't work so presumably you downloaded and installed it? There have been 25K views on here and nobody else says the app doesn't work? How come?

    Good video, sadly low light test is very different from your other review (ruclips.net/video/rat1OEJiXI8/видео.html), where everything apart from Yi 4k looks bad. I wonder how ThiEYE compares to Yi 4k in the night?

    This is a very good budget action camera. Watch here one of video made from this camera. Pretty neat and cool! ruclips.net/video/x2saCJRDc8w/видео.html
