"Flash Sale" they call it, low price for a few days, you can sign up for email notifications on their website. Much is shipped from China, but this was sent from US warehouse, so only took a few days. John F

VIOFO seems to listen to their users more than just about any dashcam manufacturer out there. At least they are trying, and actually have an online presence, so cut them some slack. John F

Yes, actually paid $32 as I opted for mail insurance. You do get what you pay for sometimes though, as after 1 week of moderate use the GPS has quit working, and the buttons are flakey. The 'ok' button now acts as the 'up' button about half the time. I could tell the build quality was not...

I jinxed myself. GPS quit overlaying speed on video, just re-installed the latest firmware and now its working again. There does seem to be about a 2-3 second lag in the speed readings, but I may wind up disabling GPS anyway, so not a huge deal. Could not get the firmware installed using a...

Ordered one from Gearbest 3 weeks ago just to try, for $30 USD delivered I figured I had little to lose. Much to my surprise, I actually like it! Just upgraded firmware, which has resolved the GPS time issue (for the most part.) Video quality is surprisingly good day and night, far better...

Installed 2.1 tonight (119S), and with limited testing I've found noticable improvements in over sharpening artifacts as well as less blow out in dark conditions with sudden brightness - even though there is no mention in updates, so maybe my imagination. It was already dark out by the time I...

That doesn't excuse me from being an idiot. I should have read all posts before asking a stupid question. The best video combo for me so far is -1/3 exposure, WDR enabled. I've got an old Mini laying in front of me in a hundred pieces replacing the 200 mah battery, another form of idiocy is...

Reading posts can be useful - I just ran across a post regarding these pads. Apparently much less important with the V2, but I'll use if I get any rattles. Thanks.

I couldn't agree more.

Ordered from Amazon. I know it would have been cheaper directly from one of the common China sellers, but I've had enough instances of early failures to want the peace of mind ordering from Amazon. It was sent without the GPS mount I ordered, but the Prime seller answered the phone on first...

I used the new firmware (37) on an old 7500 Cuty, just to try it out. I am using the new viewer as well, but there a few intermittent errors. Does anyone have the 31 firmware in the zip file (or the 3 extracted files for 'updating') ? The Lukas website no longer has the old 31 firmware...

Looks like a typical poor focus issue. You'll either have return it or disassemble and re-focus yourself I'm afraid. My 0806 has perfect focus but unfortunately has numerous other problems that require it be returned for warranty repair / replacement. I hope the seller agrees.

I know longer see it on their website. My 0806 purchase from them in May 2015 has developed numerous problems and is no longer useable: - loud crackling in audio - jerky video playback regardless of the player - the GPS has quit working completely (after working intermittently for 5 weeks)...

I've downloaded and installed a couple times, but when I check version it comes up as 150320 instead of 150323. Ideas?

I contacted Winycam about the button cell, they said they'd send one, but never heard back . They did originally reply that the tiny button cell for date/time is 3v, but I've not found one that small. Might try removing the dead button cell and wiring in a larger one - there is room in the...
