We put a JooVuu X, Olfi, Drift Stealth 2, Drift Ghost S and TomTom Bandit to the test, to see if any of them are worth having over the ubiquitous GoPro when it comes to filming cars.
Rather than having all cameras stuck to one setting (1080p would be tempting), we decided instead to set each camera to whichever resolution it looks best at. This meant full quality for the Drift pair at 1080p, full quality for the Olfi and GoPro at 4K, while the JooVuu and TomTom were turned *down* from their top settings to 1080p and 2.7K respectively. We turned down the JooVuu because it’ll only do 2.7K in a 16:9 aspect ratio, and we didn’t bother with the 4K footage on the TomTom as that setting lumbers you with 15FPS, giving horrid, jerky footage.
The end result can be seen above in up to 1080p resolution, but don’t think that neutralises the 4K advantage of the Olfi and GoPro and the 2.7K advantage of the TomTom - 2.7 and 4K footage downscaled to 1080p will always look better than 1080p-shot footage.
