Review: Papago GoSafe 200 GS200-US Rear view mirror clip mount 1080p Dashcam
This camera was provided by @PAPAGO! for review.
It's available for purchase at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00KOUJQP6
Manufacturer's website: http://us.papagoinc.com/products/gosafe-200/
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Overall Summary:
It's a very decent dashcam with good audio and video quality.
Has great wide angle.
The camera mounts onto the rear view mirror and is very discrete from outside as it looks kinda part of the mirror.

Detail Review:
Unboxing Video:
This dashcam has a unique design.
1. The mount clips on rear view mirror but it doesn't cover the whole mirror like regular rear view mirror dashcams.
Spring loaded clip mount is adjustable to fit different size rear view mirror and also can be angled left to right to adjust the FOV.
2. Another unique feature is the 2" LCD screen slides out from the body when fiddling with menu settings and slides in to hide inside the body.
Package contents:
The camera is pretty much black except some chrome polish on lens housing tip but doesn't show when looking from the front.
Lens housing is very big compared to the actual size of lens glass in the middle.
Build quality is very good.
Buttons and features:
Top: Power button, AV out, microSD slot, mini USB charging port and GPS port.
From left to right: Papago GoSafe 200 GS200-US, Discovery DC200, Dome G90 7S.
Papago GS200-US with clip on mount alongside Discovery DC200:
All buttons are on the either side of the slide out 2" LCD screen:
Left of LCD has REC/Event and OK buttons.
Right of LCD has UP and Down buttons.
Back of the camera has mount attachment slots.
The mount just slides in and locks in place with some force.
Folders and Files:
Very simple folder structure.
It just has one folder called 'MOVIE' under 'PAPAGO' and file names have date time so it's helpful to find video clips.
File size and VBR:
3 minute clip is around 287mb in size.
Overall bit rate : 13.1 Mbps
Video Bit rate : 11.9 Mbps
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
