Gitup 2
The Git1 is a Chinese camera manufactured by a company called GitUp. This is the company’s first action / dash camera and it looks quite similar to the GoPro HERO3 cameras including button placement. The Git1 is compatible with most GoPro accessories, mounts and attachments.
The Git1 has very good picture quality during the day and good picture quality at night. The night time quality is actually better than comparably priced action cameras. The camera is based on the Novatek 96655 processor and SONY IMX322 CMOS sensor. This combination performs quite well and the camera has a bitrate of 17Mbps.
Like many action cameras the Git1 can be used as a dash cam since it has auto start / stop and loop recording. This camera has a G-sensor and a 1.5″ LCD screen but does not have GPS. Size is not too large at 59 x 41 x 30 mm but the camera is still quite noticeable due to its rectangular form factor. Build quality is quite good as well.
The Git1 also comes with WiFi capability. To connect the Git1 to WiFi, press and hold the settings button for a couple of seconds until you hear a chime and shows WiFi on the screen. You will need an app to connect to a WiFi access point and the FinalCam app for Android works with the Git1
The manual didn’t mention what app to use so i searched and found FinalCam works so downloaded it and installed.
We would like to thank our members Tigris99, Sunny and Gibson99 for providing reviews on the Git1 in our forum.

Should I Purchase?
If you are looking for a GoPro style action camera, the GitUp Git1 is one of the best action cameras with this form factor. If used as a dash cam it is not the most discreet but it night time video quality pleasantly surprises given the Sony CMOS sensor.
The GitUp Git1 a versatile camera that can be used as an action camera and a dashboard camera, the Git1 is a good choice. Vendor support is quite good and initial reliability appears to be good.
