Dash Cam + Suction Cup Mount = Shaky Footage
LMAO

That's a bogus example that has nothing to do with what the average person would experience using a suction cup mount without blasting a sub-woofer at high volume. Suction cup mounts have their value such as when used temporarily, especially well designed and well made ones like what Viofo offers.

Does the suction cup mount works with a119 mini2???

This cannot be used with A119mini2 and it is also out of stock now. We suggest installing it with the stickers provided in the package, which is also very sturdy.

Dash Cam + Suction Cup Mount = Shaky Footage
LMAO

yeah i've experienced that BUT -

what ever suction cup your using is either very poor quality or is not tightened/ fitted correctly.

other factors like it can't be touching anything else and ideally not have the cable loading it eg just dropped down towards the dash/console/floor.

interesting example though lol.

Lol
I filmed this test footage 3 years ago when I first got into this hobby.
I found this dash cam at my local Walmart on clearance for $5.
Regular price was $15. Lol
I bought 4 of them.
I had no idea the subwoofer was doing this to the camera until I reviewed the footage, I could not stop laughing. lol
It’s only a $30 10” woofer with a $40 100 Watt amp.
I actually liked this camera, the image quality is terrible, but it never had a recording malfunction. Lol

A good local seller like @CaptureYourAction will provide you with a level of service and integrity as a customer you will never get from Amazon. I can't recommend him highly enough. There is no better Viofo vendor on this forum.

Love this answer. I should start turning away all the people who keep calling me from Amazon for tech support. Or better yet charge them $50 for calling. 🤣🤣🤣

 

[SafeDriveSolutions]

Not only that, but unlike Amazon you spend 7 days a week here on the forum supporting people along with answering product questions and members are only a PM away from customer service. And not every customer service issue involves returning a product.

I recall when the first V3 I purchased from you had a focus issue on one side and you sent out a replacement as soon as you saw the screen shots I sent you, leaving me with a working camera that I could ship back to you at my leisure after the new one arrived.

I buy from Amazon all the time but there is nothing like a good local seller. I go out of my way to support worthy small businesses like CaptureYourAction. We are at risk of losing valued small businesses to the likes of Amazon if we don't.

AMEN

Well, I was referring to the kind of tech support a vendor would only provide to customers who actually have purchased products from them and can prove it which is what I would assume you tell any Amazon buyers who call you. 🙂

I am looking to buy a rifle scope, one i am interested in, well lets just say if i buy it in the US i can get it +200 USD cheaper, that is a substantial saving if it sail thru customs, but even with customs and handling fee it will probably be cheaper.
Seem like very often good prices never hit the EU or do so very delayed.
For instance recent price drops on Computer GFX cards and Nvme hard drives, well i have not really seen those in Danish shops, well at least not GFX cards, and Danes already pay high prices on everything due to high taxes.

We are a vendor in Canada. Just I do like to help people no matter who calls. Though my customers typically do get next level support.

That sounds very Canadian.

Plus, I guess as an authorized dealer of certain brands it probably makes sense that buyers who didn't purchase from you might reach out. Helping them could lead to their becoming customers in the future, so your time and efforts may not be wasted in the long run.

Thank you for measuring.
Is this 2560x1440?
Is this 16:9 Aspect Ratio?
On my monitor it looks super wide like the 2560x1080 resolution.
I wonder if the FOV changes with different resolution settings?

I did it in two resolutions, yes it is 2560 * 1080, the angle does not change for 2560 * 1440

Also can you measure the A119 Mini 1, A139 Pro, and WM1 for comparison?

I only have for Mini1
93°-95°

 

[Kenneth_Dart]

4K front 30 FPS in 1 and 2 channel mode. In 3 channel mode it does 4K @ 24FPS.

Amazon gives these resolution though:
newest Sony STARVIS 2 tech, A139 PRO 2CH supports dual channel 4K+1080P recording with highly upgraded image clarity and accuracy in license capturing

 

[Kenneth_Dart]

And viofo has this for A139 Pro:

Front: Sony STARVIS 2 Sensor 8MP 1/1.8 IMX678
Rear: Sony STARVIS Sensor 2MP IMX291
2 Channel 4K 3840x2160P 30fps + 1080P 30fps

Edit: I had wrong information, sorry. Post corrected. With 1 or 2 channels, it's 4k 30 fps + 1080p 30 fps.

Afaik that's not quite correct.
It's edit: only for 3 CH: 3840x2160 @ 24 fps + 2x 1080p or 3840x1600 @ 30 fps + 2x 1080p.
My front cam is using x1600 and it's good enough for me. I see 90% of my hood and most traffic lights above me):
