We've tested the DR970X LTE Plus with the VIOFO Industrial 512GB microSD card and after a couple of days it started to power cycle randomly. In BlackVue world this usually indicates a memory card issue. Works OK with the 256GB card so far.

For me, the new manual touch sensor is randomly "touching" itself while driving. Just intermittently executing manual recording by itself. I'm suspecting this may be partially caused by some sort of radio/electromagnetic interference, as it sometimes repeats in a few specific spots on my usual...

Compared DR970X LTE Plus to the previous DR970X LTE (non-Plus) and uploaded sample snapshots to Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RP-aaFSBbdLtf5KCpzFHo3Jjy-C6noTU?usp=drive_link At daytime it's a bit hit&miss for the new Plus model, as in a few instances older model delivers...

And a few day time examples below. While BV's motion blur management is very promising, yet overall image quality is wasted by lack focus. You did it again, BlackVue! Note: 70mai A810 had CPL filter attached. Example #1 Example #2 Example #3 Example #4

I have received BV DR970X LTE Plus for testing today. Here are a few night time snapshots, compared to the 70mai A810 Dual - a great example of well implemented Starvis 2 IMX678 sensor with 4K HDR and perfectly sharp lens. Example #1 Example #2 Example #3 Let these images speak...

Thanks Ariel. Excellent review, as always. I reckon it only takes implementing efficient HDR for the BV's DR970X Plus series to tick all the boxes and become the greatest flagship dashcam of all times. The kind of iPhone 15 Pro Max / Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra of dashcams - expensive but simply...

Great to hear that. Looking forward to your review. My testing DR970X LTE unit should arrive early next week. I still can't believe BV used Starvis2 IMX678 sensor and NOT implemented HDR... really disappointing. Perhaps they'll fix it in later firmware update?

Hi @Panzer Platform - many thanks for your appreciation! Also, thank you for your inspiration regarding captions for our YT content. Much appreciated! After a bit of research, it turned out that adding captions to YT videos is dead simple. Youtube algorithms are generating captions to videos...

Wow, that's nice. :) Thank you for your appreciation! To be honest, I don't think that working on translations and generating CC would be feasible for us, mainly from business perspective. The YT channel's main purpose is supporting our dashcam business here in Poland. However, I might...

I was really hoping that BV would finally nail it in all key departments (awesome 4K Starvis2 video quality with excellent HDR performance, unrivalled cloud features and built-in LTE in one single package) with the DR970X Plus series, yet seems like you perfecly nailed it with this one sentece...

To be fair, BlackVue's cloud implementation also felt fairly basic when it launched back in 2015-16'ish. They had a lot of time to develop it further since then, so others now have quite a bit to catch up with their cloud offerings. I was recently working with 70mai's new cloud service, which...

Speaking of voice commands in Mini 2, it works really really well also with "Ponglish" language, which is very-heavy-Polish-accented-English. Here's the quick demo how it works:

We've got Mini2 in testing at wr24.pl for couple of weeks now, should be officially unveiled very soon. It has excellent image quality and much better HDR clarity both day & night compared to Mini1 - generally it makes no sense to use AutoHDR feature to disable HDR at daytime with Mini2. Voice...

@Vortex Radar in his review mentions an issue with rear cam image being completely blacked out, which seems to happen intermittently between power cycles. See at 7:40 I have noticed the same issue with my sample DR750X Plus unit running both v1.000 and v1.001 firmware versions. Have anyone...

Confirmed. I've just flashed v1.6 to A129PRO. Then formatted EVO Plus 128GB memory card to exFAT in the PC. Then inserted in that A129PRO which booted up and started recording as normal. Nice!

Firmware v1.3 is available for download at viofo.pl website: https://www.viofo.pl/firmware/viofo-a129-pro\ However I haven't tested it myself yet.

Could anyone please remind, what are the differences between these two firmwares?

When my DR900S is rebooting by itself while driving without any apparent reason, its usually an indication that memory card should be formatted or replaced. Formatting usually works until it starts rebooting again in few months time, however I've recently swapped Samsung Evo Plus to Pro...

I've had beep-beeps quite frequently while card wasn't even half-full...

Getting back to the double-beep problem again. I've been testing and using an early hardware unit, which I've received a few weeks before actual retail units hit the market. It was beep-beep'ing notoriously with many different memory cards, even on the original VIOFO MLC 64GB memory card. What...
