AdvoCam FD8 Red-II

Advantages: Glass optics, coupled with a fast processor gives good video. They may not be very clear around the edges, but the main thing is that the numbers are visible from a rather large distance - it takes 12 meters freely.
Again, a fast processor is a guarantee that there will be no problems with the fact that the rollers on the memory card are written incorrectly.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: The registrar is not long for me, not more than a month in total, but I hope that it will continue to work so well. There is nothing that I would like to modify. Everything suits me.

Advantages: Comfortable, shoots perfectly

Disadvantages: No Speedcam.

Comment: The registrar is not bad. As part of the recording, it definitely wins from my past reg, for ease of use, too (it is quickly removed and put on, the power is not needed every time). Fasteners are similar in convenience - and this, and the last revolve around the axis. But Speedcam is not enough for me: I got used to it, even if it was quite annoying and noisy. I will unlearn drive.

Advantages: SuperHD, LDWS

Comment: The registrar proves that you do not need to buy some expensive model in search of good quality shooting. FD8 has absolutely no problems with this. That day, that night video is clear and detailed. Reg can shoot in SuperHD and the picture is excellent! Well, about the LDWS I can not forget to say - this is such a thing that squeaks when you move out of the band. I do not know how in other cities, but it works fine in Moscow time.

Advantages: Good quality shooting. There is no pause between the rollers. Simple copying on the PC. By cable or via SD adapter. GPS time synchronization. Hang for all time of use only once.

Disadvantages: Low battery life. Completely "crooked" software for viewing captured videos. Demanding with flash card write speed class. POI (camera) updates on off. The site appear very rare and not relevant. G-sensor does not work correctly. (not using)

Comment: To update the radar maps I use the site https://mapcam.info/ to download the base for the region in the format for IGO (how to convert it is described in the instructions for the registrar http://advocam.ru/assets/templates/files/manual_AdvoCam_FD8_RED_II.pdf)
And for viewing videos I use DATACAM software https://datakam.ru/download/

Advantages: All that is needed, the registrar records: and the numbers, larger details. The viewing angle is also more than enough - there is enough for the road and part of the pavement. I have never had such a video that I didn’t record, or suddenly I began to re-record myself without my knowledge.

Comment: Many manufacturers are beginning to forget that not everyone needs a super-duper heaped lenses, the newest matrices and heaps of tracking systems for the price of over9000 money. Some (in fact, the majority, including me) just need an inexpensive registrar who can capture the numbers in which case, record the fact of the incident and remember to save it. I think that for the registrar this functionality is more than enough. And everything else - pribluda, for which I do not want to pay. It is very good that there are models like this one. Which provide a normal recording and at the same time cost around five thousand.

Advantages: video quality.
viewing angle of 120 degrees. yes, there are more now, but why
memory card up to 64 GB. while standing at 32 GB, but soon I will definitely put more
size and ergonomics - 10/10

Disadvantages: probably the matrix is ​​not the biggest - in the dark a lot of noise. But how to change the ISO - I did not find it) maybe there is no such option)

Comment: The registrar is satisfied. Here it is very pleased. It takes off well, convenient, in the menu everything is intuitively simple, charging is stuck in the mount, the sound is clear, I like everything.

Advantages: Excellent recording recorder that day, that night.
Writes numbers.
Removes Timelapse, on the slopes it is useful.

Disadvantages: not

Comment: Actually, I went to the store for the FD8 RED I, I did not even know that there is a second version. Of course, I chose a newer region, especially since the money was almost the same. They explained to me that the processor is faster here, the matrix is ​​newer, it can now shoot in HDR, although I have no idea what it is and how it is better than regular shooting, but it sounds like that. As a result, I took this one, especially since the first version remained only a display case, therefore, especially, I did not take it.
