    Honestly what I'm most impressed about is them listening to feedback so effectively. The cameras are good for a dashcam, no doubt, but them actually listening. Brilliant.

      Aye they really do seem to want to produce kit that we bikers want, so they are keen to listen to feedback and adapt where necessary 👍

      They don’t listen that well. I’ve been trying for a year to get them to put explanations of settings IN THE SOFTWARE…..it’s a great camera but crap software that leaves users wondering how to use it or set it up so you don’t get 200 accident videos from a 30 minute ride. Yes….adjust the settings, but then what setting affects what? If I lower the sensitivity does that adjust parking sensor or riding or both…..crap software.

    I'm an embedded software/hardware engineer. I understand the claim about 4K being bandwidth intensive but there are video transports that fix that problem. I wonder why they don't know about them? That massive bundle of wires going to the front camera is a deal breaker for me. Good review, good data showing what it's capable of. Hope they can address the bundle of wire some of us have...

    Mate, thanks for taking the time to make the video. I'm contemplating getting a dash cam for my Indian Springfield as security with all the 'bad' motorist on the road. Thye video was great and I'm now going to watch your instilation video for the Inov K5. Thanks again, much appreciated. Oh, and a BIG thumbs up.

    When you mention location of the unit early on in the video and being unable to access the door for the memory card, you could always mount it upside down in that location and flip the video (that you mention later).

    I had the same problem with the front camera with moisture in the air so I made a small wind deflecter a meniture version of my motorcycle windshield, installed it just below and forward of the camera lens, here in the Arizona USA desert due to long times of infrequent rain our highways get oily the miniature windshield blows the oily moisture up and over the camera lens!

      Cheers Wayne, yeah I thought the K3 would be the ultimate system to go for, but I’m testing it at the moment and if I was spending my own money, I’d go for the K5.
      Wi-fi is way quicker, which in turn makes using the app much more enjoyable and user friendly. The picture quality is better for sure, and the whole system just seems to work more efficiently than the K2 or K3.

    @jay26cee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Bruce ... on a grotty day like that, hard to draw a comparison. Under the circumstances, to me GoPro looks a much better picture but I think that is because the lens of the Innovv must be dirty or something. Even the rear camera looks a better picture. I think it would be much better to compare when they are all clean and clear on a brighter day. I do think the audio is much better than the GoPro tho.

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s very true bud, but sadly we can’t compete with Mother Nature. It was January and I had less than a week to get it installed, tested, filmed, edited and out for today 🤷‍♂️
      The GoPro will ALWAYS win in terms of picture quality, the INNOVV system can’t compete with that - but they are totally different cameras.
      INNOVV don’t do action cameras, they are dash cam type systems so serve a different purpose. The GoPro is an action camera which we adapt to use as a helmet/bike mounted camera, but it requires faff to keep it powered constantly etc etc.
      The INNOVV systems are simply install and forget, they run constantly in the background predominantly for that unique occurrence of an incident etc

      @@teapotone I hear you. Our weather will always throw us that curve ball. I think for me, given that I'd probably use the footage only in the case of an 'event', I'd rather go with a 2k res and a higher frame rate. This will give a much better chance at capturing a legible number plate ... one thing I noticed with my 4k helmet cam at 30fps, trying to get a frame where text is legible at speed is tough. Great effort on your part though getting it all done.

    • @jwcgroup
      @jwcgroup 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@jay26cee i agree with you. i tried my gopro in my car a while back going through the settings, and higher frame rates 60fps and above means ability to pause and read a number plate .... I got a k2 innov for 🎄, not fussed over 4k takes up so much storage space too.

  • @spugone
    @spugone 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very nice to see that the feedback has been listened too and that it has been taken up. As the K2 it looks very good quality. Front unit looks bulky, reducing where it can be mounted unfortunately, not as discrete. Audio is very good, if only it could be updated on the K2. I must admit I do like the remote and the option to take pictures when needed. WiFi connection certainly seems a lot quicker. The night time video better than the K2. I like it very much, not sure I would rush to change from the K2, might be interested if they did a part exchange. Will possibly have to wait for the K3. Thanks for the insight. Good review mate.

      I’d never advise you to rely on any camera over a simple shoulder check, or just turn your head and body to see behind you.
      But... Yes it does - once you’ve connected the system to your phone, open the app, tap the video camera icon, select which camera feed you want (front or rear), and then it’ll happily rotate between landscape or portfolio

    Good review. I bought a K2 the day before the K5 was announced (a couple of weeks ago) but I do prefer the more discrete front camera of the K2. I have installed it but not been out yet and I am very impressed with the build quality. It also appears I got the latest transformer but the download speed is slow when I tested it. It would be good if it was a software issue and a firmware update would speed it up.

    Bit late to the party but as you've tried both the K3 & K5 I'd value your opinion. I've no interest in vlogging or uploading video to FB. But after having myself and my Mille wiped out by Miss Myopic, my gopro with a dead battery and having to rely on witnesses for the insurance I need a dashcam. So the question is, is the K5 worth the extra for my purposes over the K3? I don't think front camera size is an issue fitting it to my R1100S. Great video, enjoyed all the innovv vids.

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Gavin,
      If it’s purely as a dashcam and you’re not worried about utilising the app to view files, then the K3 is a good buy.

    Great review. The front camera seems to be good but in the lanes, the view was pretty muddied with the road dirt, so I was wondering if a higher mounting point would be better for the front camera, but the rear camera looked good at all times. Fantastic review though mate and to be honest if you are happy with the mounting, that's all that counts. Sound was really good and the video quality is excellent.

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The first few minutes wasn't a fair test on it, as it was wet on the lense. But as soon as it dried the quality came threw.. Its pretty impressive.. I use a go pro myself and I wouldn't change over from it just for reasons I want the helmet mount.. But its a great bit of gear regardless, great quality, sound was good a bit crisp, but good, GPS is good also, looked accurate. Pretty professional set up being honest..it works great in low light 2... Only reason I wouldn't change from go pro as I say I enjoy the helmet view.... Its a perfect set up for a bike like yours and all other all out touring bike id certainly use 1 then 👍

    With 2 channels, front and rear, does the 2 cameras record at the same time? Meaning say at a given tme 10 am,while riding, would see what is recorded by front and rear camera on 2 separate files?
    How do you know files from front vs rear camera feed?

Is that used to download? Is it possible to obtain the footage from the camera in bulk rather than having to download over wifi/app one clip at a time. Which editing software would you recommend, Da Vinci? Lots of questions - sorry.

      I think this slower Wi-fi is a massive let down of the K3, it’s one of the main reasons I’d choose the K5

      @@teapotone to clarify, I’m looking for a program with which I can upload my films and photos from my sd card. Also one to edit with, and, best case possible one that combines the two. In your video you have one running on your Mac in the background, so I was wondering which that was and if it might be a free download.

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah ok Rob - firstly to get the files from the SD card to your computer you just use either ‘Finder’ on Mac or ‘Explorer’ on Pc. Both of these are free and already come with either system.
      Store your files on an external hard drive, preferably an SSD one if you intend to do complicated editing, or the cheaper traditional hard drives will do if you’re only doing basic stuff.
      On the Mac I use Final Cut Pro X which is a semi-professional system and is about £400.
      If you’re just starting you can easily use windows movie maker on a PC, or iMovie on a Mac. Both are fairly similar and will let you do some basic editing such as movie to photo integration in a slideshow-type of deal.
      There are lots of other software available such a Vegas Pro, or Da’Vinci Resolve etc
      I simply used youtube to teach myself how to edit and how to use my software.

      For me if I was spending my own money, I’d get the K5 without question.
      The footage crisper but it’s the faster Wi-fi which is a game changer for me. It’s so much more user friendly to use the app with the better Wi-fi, you can view files and look at the gps mapping info easily and without having to wait ages.
      I also actually prefer the all-in-one nature of the K5 to the separate DVR and camera setup of the K2/K3. Weird because I really did like the K5 setup originally, but now it’s the one I choose to put on my bike 👍

    Nice video, but I think it was a bit unfair to compare with the K5 mounted low in the wet, filming a lot of pavement, and the GoPro up high in the drier.
    I wanted to have the cameras as high as possible, but "invisible", protected and with an unobstructed view. Sounds hard, but I actually think I nailed it. My front camera is where you have your remote. I wanted it on this side as we drive on the right, and I figured I will hardly ever need access to the card. Found a longer M6 bolt and mounted it there with the included angle bracket. Then drilled and carved a hole through the black plastic for the lens. (That plastic fairing is only €50 on a 1250GSA.) I mounted the remote on the mirror stem, using the included mount. The rear camera sits in the middle of the reflex, stole this idea from A Bike Thing.
    Let me know if you want to see pics of the installation, and I'll link to my blog. Snow and cold here in Norway now, so still waiting for warmer weather to test, but I think both cameras should have clear good views.

      Hello bud,
      If you want a camera that you can use on multiple bikes, and one which you can use for insurance purposes but also use for TH-cam vids etc, then something like a GoPro (or GoPro knock-off) or DJI Action would be brilliant.
      Drift cameras are ok but their firmware has had terrible reliability in the past (as has GoPro’s to an extent, but the Drift video quality is poor in comparison).
      Insta360’s have incredibly reliable cameras, but they’re fairly expensive.
      Personally I’d go GoPro Hero 10 or 11, or the Insta360 X2

    Thanks for the review, good to see the next generation here. I preferred the sound of the K5 as it seemed clearer than the GoPro. The picture quality improved when you got onto the dual carriageway, but did you clean the lenses before joining it?
    It would be good to see it in higher frequency comparisons with the GoPro especially for dashcam type footage.
    I bought a C5 for training sessions but it hasn’t been too successful. The K5 looks like it might be worth going with but would choose this over a GoPro?
    When using the remote to capture video, does it record the current time clip or from the push of the button or even record from a period back before the button push?
    You mentioned image stabilisation but I haven’t seen anything in the spec that says about this! Is there any?
    Lots of questions I know and probably better asked of Steve but your thoughts/input would be appreciated👍
    Cheers and keep up the good work.

    • @teapotone

      I clean the lenses every time I’m off the bike - basically I clean my visor, GoPro’s and Innovv cameras all at the same time.
      Yes I’d just cleaned the lenses prior to the dual carriageway footage, but the rain had also cleared away and I was moving faster, so the flowing air helps to keep the front lens clearer.
      Not sure what you mean by ‘higher frequency comparisons’ bud? The innovv was filming at its optimum resolution of 4K at the front at 30fps, I could’ve gone to 1080 at 60fps admittedly.
      There is no inbuilt stabilisation on the INNOVVs but personally I don’t think they need them 👍
