It does have a parking mode but since I park for extended periods at home (safely in the countryside) and don't have a battery saver interrupt thingy (whatever they're really called), I've not toyed with that feature as yet. Perhaps I'll sort it all out later on a rare trip to the big city.

I believe those photos are an advanced mod to an external GPS antenna for a specific purpose that user is testing. Rest assured the standard unit has an internal GPS antenna. In my case, it works just fine with no mods needed. The power lead 'normally' goes straight into the cam. Have fun when...

Sorry James. No clue there. I didn't even know what plate stamp was until you mentioned it. There's not enough funky little red cars in my neighbourhood that it would be confused with anyone else so the hunk of the bonnet in frame is enough identification for me. The explanation makes sense RE...

Just a fast follow up as most of the discussion on this cam is in another thread. I received my cam from FoxOffer on time and in good shape. Packed properly, nothing wrong with the camera, all the promised extra bits were included and unbroken, and it's making good video (as long as the weather...

Hello vyper1, Just saw your 'jelly thread' and sample vids. Went back into my file history to see if I could find anything similar in my own videos. Bright light, sitting still at a traffic light, medium light, slow movement, fast movement. Nothing from my cam is like what your samples show...

Heh...thanks. Agreed that it's pretty out there. I was going to go all out and put in two more chairs before I called it finished. :D Now if I can just convince the woman in my life to do without walls I'll be all set, eh?

Hello Mario! I don't know if this will help or hurt your theory but I use a 32GB Class 10 card from Lexar. I already owned a stack of them for use in my Canon digital camera and just grabbed one from the pile and reformatted it in the dashcam. Unfortunately I don't have any OTHER brands or...

One more quick note since it came up in the thread earlier...no problems at all with the cam's GPS picking up signal. Since day one it seems to catch the satellites inside 10 seconds most of the time. Never been longer than, say, 20 seconds even right out of the box. And it's been mostly cloudy...

I've got some samples up from my newly received GS900. You lose some quality on the playback sites (even when you choose 1080p playback quality it seems) but Daily Motion has the advantage of being able to download the original (native quality) file so you can play it locally to see what...

To chime in with positive reports from the field for others thinking about buying one of these beasts, I just received my GS900 (VF960S) ordered from FoxOffer on 29 July. For transit time from Asia to Eastern Canada I'd say 21 days was almost perfectly average. As I noted in an earlier post, it...

Strange that it worked and *THEN* stopped. I would have thought a firmware problem would have been present from the start. Maybe a hardware issue? Of course firmware can do strange things at any time so that's just a guess. Do you know what GPS components (chips) are inside your model? That...

I've only just ordered from Foxoffer so I can't really speak from first hand experience quite yet. As with all my first-time dealings through a new supplier, I'll be watching them like a hawk and reporting on real-world service levels so others can benefit from any trials and tribulations that...

Nice comparison vids. I'll get some of my own up soon enough with more Canadian trees in the frame. :-) I got my the initial "information received at post" shipping confirmation from Foxoffer (via paypal) moments ago. Within the three days after order as promised so that's encouraging if the...

After watching (and reading) the progress with updates to this cam, I've convinced myself to order one from the folks at Foxoffer just last night. The video reviews and samples done by TechMoan got me started down this path but the poor audio reports kept me on the edge until I saw the...
