New Dash Cam recommendations?

Thanks for the help guys. Decided I will go with the Viofo A139. Unsure if I care about a 2-channel setup or not as I can only imagine installation in my 4R hatch is a real treat.

Edit: Nice video, thanks for posting!

The only thing he didn't talk about was form factor. I didn't pay for high performance, I paid so I never have to look at the thing as it's 100% hidden from drivers view.

I have a garmin one. Pretty happy with it so far. Blackvue seems pretty popular as well but I dont have any experience with them

The mini2? I've been looking at that for a while now.

A119 looks huge but it will hide behind the rear view mirror from the driver. Not the passenger tho.

And unless you have voice control like Garmin, you may want to reach for event saving button.

Yeah I have three A119 and don't see them at all from the driver's seat.

Good to know, if my Blackvue bites the dust. I skipped all the ones with screens because they do look massive from the photo's.

Gonna add a couple F70's to my wish list.

Shit that's a good price. I may have to order this. I have a V2 which I like a lot.

[bjstare]

Thanks for the recommendation, I ordered a couple.

Anyone have a suggestion for a good memory card? Or should I just pick the one that's discounted the most this week on amazon?

[D'z Nutz]

i wouldn't buy any memory cards from Amazon. There's a lot of fakes that get mixed in with the legit ones at the warehouses. I would just go grab whatever Sandisk ones they have at Costco. They're on sale pretty frequently too.

I agree with this. I would buy from Costco, or local stores Best Buy, Staples, or Memory Express. For memory cards on dash cams, I went with "endurance" cards like this one from memory express. https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00121810 They cost more than the Amazon listing, but Memory Express was able to price match that.

[DonJuan]

Does the A119 V3 have a screen off mode? Not annoying my passenger is important to me.

[D'z Nutz]

The V2 does, so I would assume the V3 does. It just turns on for a minute or two when the car starts and then shuts off.
