Purchased this in 2021 as the only other actions cameras of similar quality are now £150+. The market is flooded with cheap 4K actions cameras where the footage looks like its from a 90's digital camera. Would love to see some more reviews of action cameras on this channel.
I bought one two years ago, on your say so, and have been nothing but pleased. Thanks.
Finally an action cam with external mic support.
With all those features it looks like they have been viewing you channel and have been guided by your suggestions from other camera reviews. Entertaining and informative - as always :)
You're videos always mention things that many many other reviews just don't care/know about - thank you for that! And the end bit was quite funny:)
One of the best reviews I've seen in a long time! Very professional! Well done and thank you.
Great vid and very helpful! Much thanks for covering everything.
I really appreciated the fact that you tested most of the features extensively and even showed us the individual settings.
Seen a ton of your reviews of action cams, just ordered this for my motorcycle! Thanks for premium reviews Techmoan
Fabulous review of a great all round camera. You're channel is so special. Thank you. Get that bike out! We we're out on the K1600 last Saturday even though we managed to find the only rain.....In Grasmere! Lol. It's such a shame what the folk have gone through with the floods so was happy to support them even though we got wet.
Bought this camera based on your review of the Git1. Sounds like I got a winner. Excited to get it now. Like your bit with the puppets at the end. I hope this trend continues with you videos.
Informative and funny, as always. Love the little extra clip too.
Keep up the good work. I've bought stuff as a result of your videos - never been disappointed. Big thumbs up
Brilliant review. Just received mine yesterday and am looking forward to using it.Cheers
Thanks Techmoan, I just bought one for $70 used and it came with two extra batteries and a charger and I gotta say, this is a really nice camera. Thanks for your commitment to making these videos
I love how Techmoan tells manufacturer's "do this do that" 😆
+Samara Weaving hey whats up :-)
+Rafed Hossini dude wtf do you think your gonna get a girl through youtube comments? post something useful next time.
hahahahah why you so angry for :--) maybe you should relax :-)
Lol yeah, sorry man, that shit doesn't affect me so yeah just gotta chill :) thnx
+slayerficated hey dude I was just kidding that's all have a good day but she's HOT 🤑😉
Just can't commend you enough on how good these reviews are! Great stuff!
+AudiophileOn Thanks old chap.
What an incredibly high quality review, you're really getting good at this (although being a time traveller probably helps). Thank you very much.
You are making just perfect reviews ! Absolutely amazing.
Excellent video as usual! Been subbed for a long time and hopefuly for years to come!
Based on several cam reviews from your hand, I decided to buy the GitUp Git2. Can't wait to shoot and share my rides next season. Cheers!
Just bought one and it works great, I tried it out as a dash cam and the wide angle, sound and picture quality is great, I also attached it to an RC off road truck and the video quality is great and very stable, I will try out on a mountain bike next and then a drone and under water, the case looks very well made. It is great quality for a bargain price
As usual another great vid from you, i bought an sj4000 camera last year after you recommended it in one of your reviews, its still working great and has made some great action vids on my peddle bike, motorbike and car. keep up the great work Techmoan and thanks for the effort you put into all your vids. :-)
Thank you.... I got one of these at the beginning of the month and you answered lots of questions for me! Xxx
just started watching your reviews, you do a really awesome job!
Fantastically thorough review and I've bought one on the back of it. Cheers and keep up the good work!!
best gitup git2 review ever. Thanks for your help mate.
best review ive seen so far for Git2 Pro.
I have actually watched this video several times over the past week or so. Been thinking about picking up an action cam, but GoPro is outside what I am willing to spend at this time.
From the presentation here, I have decided to take the plunge and order one of these, along with a couple of extra batteries + charger and of course an external mic. If not for this video, I doubt I would have found this little kit. Will update once it arrives and I have a chance to try it out.
Thanks Techmoan! You have earned a new subscriber.
I watched all of your videos many times and think that this is THE BEST ''no name'' brand action cam. I just bought one. Needed camera to use for motorcycle as well as dash cam, with external mic, extra battery and Gyro, this has it all.
Hey thanks for the awesome review! I love the depth of your detail. Cheers!
I love you reviews, I love your voice and the time you spend in your video, and off course I love this camera that I ordered 1 week ago from Gearbest, I hope it will arrive soon
Great review, Matt. Looks like a great little camera.
Thank you a lot for this complete review and for the possibility of downloads aswell! Regards Marcel
Wow! One hell of a review of one hell of a device! Thanks
nice review as Always! Im going to pick up one of these
Thank you for such an in depth review. It has confirmed my opinion that this is a tremendous budget action camera. Especially for the mic in feature that is not often found on others it seems. Sound is the one feature that GoPro still leads in. And of course the video quality at this price point is making me want to buy it.
Thank You for the Link, just bought one.
Thanks for this video. The wifi option is good not so much for remote control, but for getting the camera angel right when mounted on the side of a helmet.
Thanks for the review, I've been looking for a camera to take footage of a 2000KM tour I'm taking in a couple weeks.
Ordered this one along with a stereo mic and a frame mount.
Another great Review. Always looking forward for the next one. Guess i missed you telling the price. Nice Cam !
+Mirko Mueller I don't mention the price because it depends on where you live, what bundle you get and what year you watch this video. I made the mistake of mentioning prices in the early days of uploading videos, and I now receive messages daily from people telling me the price I quoted on a camera I reviewed in 2010 is wrong as apparently it's much cheaper now. Quelle surprise.
+Techmoan Thanks for the lesson - you're obviously right...
Excellent review mang!
This is it! This is the action cam im getting. Great review!
Another great review. Pretty sure this is the camera for me. Thank you.
Very much enjoy the videos and reviews. My favorite site for the subjects covered !Wood it be interesting to review Trail Cams as they are now becoming quite popular here in my home town. Thanks...
great review as always. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one.
Great Review Mate!
VERY helpful and informative video, thanks!
Great Matt! Another brill Video review. Thumbs up Pal!
I'm thinking of getting this as my new front facing dash cam, and using it for special occasions.
Ooh! I like the fact that you can quickly turn the stabilisation on and off!
I do have a gimbal, but find that it vibrates a lot still when motorcycle mounted. I'm keen to see how this stabilisation works when bike mounted.
Ah. I didn't guess the city but as a Beatles fan, I have been to Liverpool, including the famous Matthew Street of course!
It certainly comes packed with features for that price! Wow!
Did they end up adding the camera rotate function? That's something I use quite a lot with my GoPro cameras on my motorbike and mountain bike.
Awesome review mate!
Another excellent review video.
I think I will be picking up one or two of these... Thanks!
great video thank you! Because of this I will actually get one now!
Very usefull review, as usual. Thanks a lot !
When you posted the review on the first one I went and found their web site and found they offered the Git2. I ordered mine with remote, mic and then on ebay I grabbed a charger that charges 2 batteries at once and 2 extra batteries. I love it, I can buy almost 3 of these compared to a GoPro.
very useful and a complete review.....thank you sir
You have the best reviews!
Great review!!! Thanks!! I may get this cam instead of the Hero 4 Black 4K
Just bought one of these (through your website Amazon link, of course) thanks to this review.
And as always,brilliant👍thanks for posting
I'm after a action camera with an mic input thankyou great review as always
I bought the Git 1 based on your review, great camera and the low light is really good, ill be buying the git2 asap based on your review of it, thanks for the great reviews.
+Travel along Thanks for the feedback - glad the Git1 worked out for you.
Good detailed review. There is also a Git2 model with 90 degree linear flat lens.
Great review, looks like a good, versatile camera!
Really good review !
Great review, the puppet show was hilarious
Great review.. Some good features here especially for vlogging.
I just subscribed to your channel because after looking at some reviews on action cam you have, I think you do a thorough and exhaustive work. My sincere congratulations.
I have a cam Yi, but did doubt whether wait out the Yi 2 to buy this GIT2. What's your advice?
That dashcam support has pretty much sold me on this.
4k is one of the biggest marketing ploys in a while. The truth is, most people are still watching on either 720p or 1080p, and that is the way it will be for a few years still. I am one of the few people I know, that have a Quad HD(1440p) screen, and that is my phone's screen. Most people will be fine with something like this, that seems to do 1080p and 1440p just fine. Great video. I am really considering purchasing this camera, because of your video. I've been looking for something to replace my very outdated GoPro HD Hero 2, that doesn't cost too much. I'm not just cheap, I go on mission trips a lot, and therefore don't have much money to spare.
great video mate
I joined the forums at GitUps website and they took on board my suggestion to drop the screen timeout down to 15 seconds, i'd like 2seconds or 5 seconds but at least that will be a massive improvement.
Fantastic review. Thank you.
Excellent review... I found the instructions that came with the camera rather limiting.
If they wanted to add a feature to future camera development... a flip screen would be nice, so you can view what you are doing while doing selfie-type footage... although you can use the phone app to achieve something similar.
2020 and still one of my favorite action cams. Best gyro & quality under $100. (look for used under $60)
After looking at all the non GoPro action cams, I have to agree this is up near the top of the pile. Especially for the price.
But, I've gone for the GIT2 with Panasonic sensor/90 degree lens.
No fish eye distortion is a big plus, and together with the external mic this should be a handy adjunct to my Nikon L820 for YT production.
The lens is physically longer, so it will not fit in the hard case housing (unless you remove the lens cover), but that's a minor issue for non water related activities.
Should be very interesting to see how it performs. Existing video reviews suggest it's pretty damn good.
Cheers Rob
How has the Git2 with the 90 degree lens been working for you? I've been wondering if it's worth pulling the trigger for a portable vlog rig, and as a B cam for my GoPro vlog setup.
Nice review by the way superb camera .
For a while I thought that the intro was done through the on board microphone. That would've been amazing. Still, an amazing piece of equipment!
+JoQeZzZ however it was done through a cheap mic plugged into the USB on the camera, which didn't sound bad at all.
Thanks for the suggestion.. I've wondered if you are going to preview and review the Firefly 6S
I actually loved this video.
Cheers from a mystery mountain in the MO Ozarks.
Great review thanks so much, helped me pull the trigger and buy.
Looking forward to trying it out this weekend in on my quad-copter.

I just found your channel, and searched for a Gitup review from you since you clearly know your tech, Mr. Techmoan. I happen to have one, and for the price, I can say it's a very decent action camera if you can't afford (or just don't want to) a GoPro. Best chinese piece of tech I've bought besides a Huawei smartphone, I recommend it.
The downsides are: The official app hasn't come out yet, and it has been a long time now. And it doesn't perform so well in low-light conditions (but I guess that's normal for most action cameras).
I never leave comments but this is a well explained review. Thanks for showing us how it works I'm buying from your link! Amazon!
Hello Techmoan.
Based on your review, I bought this cam, it cam pre-installed with v1.6 which has the additionals you asked for.
I recently mounted the cam on my motorcycle right behind the wind shield, using a Ram Mount system. This reduces most vibrations and wind noise, while the gyro produces an even more rock solid recording.
Before my ride I changed a few settings: 1080p 30fps, mic level normal, white balance daylight, EV +1/3, color vivid, gyro on, WDR on, FOV narrow angle.
My ride under cloudy sky, the image was a bit dark due to the set white balance, but as soon as the sun came through, it was spot on. Afterwards I did put color back to normal as the recordings were just a bit too saturated.
Viewing the original recordings, it's all perfect. After editing into one mpg-video, the quality still is perfect, but the mp4-video needed for upload (by CZcams laws) has some image faults (blocks, soft sharpness and discoloration) probably caused by the much lower bitrate (12Mbps vs 30Mbps).
Concluding: great cam despite the user unfriendly menu.
See my video: czcams.com/video/ilf_1ihboXE/video.html
You do very good in-depth reviews, any chance you might do a review on the BulletHD biker pro cam in the future, no real good reviews on this camera yet.
such a good review ive just bought one.....
I am enjoying your reviews as I try to decide on my next action camera for my bicycle commute and motorcycle rides. I must know, what is that black car you own? It looks like a Mini but not one I am familiar with! I have an 02 Cooper S here in the US..
Great video!!
Best as always!
Hehe well played sir! 3:22 "Ok, time to git this little git up and running" Indeed :P
Mr. Moan, you should do a review for the Eken H9!
BTW, love your channel, keep being awesome!
great review! regards
This was a great review, I am looking at buying this to replace my GoPro, now I know it's not a GoPro but for the money it's still not bad and affordable.
I purchased one of these brand new with the enteral mic and wrist controller after watching your review.
I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the camera itself as well as the accessories and fittings that come with it! Personally, I now use it is a helmet camera for when I'm out riding because of too many run-ins and close calls on the road and I have to say, it does it brilliantly. I'm not sure if it's quite the same quality as say a go-pro hero 4, but at £102 all in, it's miles better value!
Thanks for the informative review, it was a massive aid in helping me decide on choosing in the sea of action cameras that now exist!
It's funny how many missed this one. People ask me what budget action camera I recommend almost daily and I always say the Git2.
I hate how many other "brands" advertise their shitty cameras for almost exact price. So when someone asks me which camera shou he buy, I always tell them that GitUp and nothing else. Oh, BTW - image rotation is now added to firmware v1.6.
Does it mount securely to the helmet with included accessories or have you purchased another mount?
+TheSwithy mounts brilliantly with the provided 3M sticky pads and mounts included yes! Just be sure to clean your lid thoroughly with something like rubbing alcohol first just to be sure there is a perfectly clean mounting surface - this obviously applies to any brand at all, not just the git 2 haha
Just bought one - cos I TRUST your reviews. It seems to be a regular forget: sandpaper the touching faces of knuckle joints, cos they come out of the box too shiny and don't tighten too well.........................??
Hypnotizing review as always. But didn''t YT start allowing 60 fps videos a pretty long time ago now? Or what's the dealeo?
Great review and the final is so funny!
In January firmware they will add another function for remote control which will not turn off the camera when pressing the Power button from remote, but will stop the the actual recording. When pressing the Shutter button it will only start the recording if is not already started and this is good if you are not sure the camera is recording because is mounted in some position you cannot see, so from time to time just press the shutter button and based on number of the beeps you are hearing you will know what is doing the camera in that moment.
Will be available also 1440p as 4:3 format, requested by some people which want to create 360 degrees videos.
+HD2You They don't hang around. It's great if you like your camera to gain new features over time....but it also means that this review will be out of date soon.
Techmoan I think they can not add any important features from now. But is nice to see that the new features are based on some users requests so they care about their customers and this is a big plus for me. Of course, after the Gyro feature. ;-)
+Techmoan You said it was the same dimensions as a gopro, can you elaborate on this, will it fit gopro cases then? I doubt it I think you mean just the gymbals and stuff
+CyclingSalmon14 *Like gymbals and stuff as you said in the video.
+CyclingSalmon14 I can't elaborate as that's all I know. Apparently it's the same size as one of the GoPro generations and therefore it fits into some of the accessories designed for that model - perhaps an owner of both devices could elaborate.
brilliant review and even better ending ..lol..cheers
Great video man, very thorough..!!! I think this is the best alternative to GoPro.. Those SjCams cant keep up, especially when it comes to exposure, where, Git2 nails it.. Just recently found out about this cam, and I am thinking getting one for motovlogs, because of external mic option.. Also, I think this is the Best Buy action cam..
Surprisingly affordable considering specs and how well it performs.
Hello late from Colombia, what a great video from that great Git Up Git2 camera that I just bought. I like your videos. Excellent image in what video resolution format have you managed to record on camera. thanks for answering friend.
Great channel .
