Okay, I was at the tide pools today in San Diego. Decided to really try out the 4K recording. It's frigging amazing!!! The level of detail is spectacular! Especially if you can have the camera in a static position. I got really close to the water and looked at the rocks and the definition was amazing.
I wish the Icon had an external memory card slot!!! 4K videos are huge and between the apps, the OS, and the offline Here maps, there's so little available space.
I don't know if my desktop PC is too weak or if the Icon takes a bit to get going, but the beginning of the recording would have a low framerate with some stutter. After a very brief amount of time, the recording would be smooth and terrific. So if it is the recording that's the issue, make sure when you film that you have some filler recording time at the beginning that you can then trim away so no one ever sees the rough video.
Also, I notice that you can't pan very fast with 4K recording on the Icon. So it might not be useful in many recording situations. As long as the camera is steady and not panning much, the video will come out amazing.
