The F750 and 550 are remarkable pieces of gear but like all complex devices they have their problems.
What I hope to do here is keep a list of issues, suggestions and fixes for anything to do with these devices, the more people that come on and post and the better this list is, the more likely Thinkware will take note of us and where possible do something about it.
Something's understandably can't be fixed but something's can.
A week ago I wrote to Thinkware with my thoughts and have had no reply, I have just sent a wee reminded and a link to this website.
F750
Physical Device
Device comes with ugly white/grey stickers, consider black replacements
Device doesn't have 90 degree bends on USB connectors, consider extenders

SDCard socket is mechanical and will fail at some point with repeated use
Blue LED on rear camera won't turn off, very bright when seen head on.
Device software
No means to access camera directly without iOS or Android, or removal of card, consider web service
Mobile / Computer software
Installation of PC Dash Cam views doesn't scale correctly, buttons are half off the screen (see pic)
Unable to view both map and rear camera on PC version of software
Unstable and crashes often with no apparent reason
No means to add speed into video
Requires Admin access for some reason, consider saving data to user area
Clips must be full files, consider adding ability to crop length of clip and or join multiple files
Language mistake on settings page, initialise actually means reset settings to default (see pic)
Font Scaling is far to small where the video list is sited. (See pic)
