    The G1W Sellers listing.

    Gearbest were quick to respond to my complaints in Engrish. Alas, their comprehension of the issue and impractical advise left a lot to be desired. I recently posted a poor, but constructive, review on http://www.resellerratings.com/ and I was offered (and now received) a full refund.

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Didn't think it was noticeable but I aim to please so 5 minutes later and 3 coats of permanent marker later: From outside Flash No flash As for "ugly", the intention of this topic was to demonstrate a practical way to save money on storage. This setup works, is cheap, is non intrusive...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Panorama S too. But too expensive. This trick might work for other mid range cameras too

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Well, I've let the card fill up and it overwrites just fine. Leaves old folders empty and creates new ones for new footage. Card is formatted as exFAT All in all, a nice and easy upgrade that barely adds any bulk and is cheaper than overall than buying a 128GB uSD card. I've been using this...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Woo! Finally, an actual rebuttal rather than a snarky one liner! I think you contradicted yourself there with the finevue example. So it can be done but there are examples where it isn't done! Obviously a full size SD slot is a priority for some but not for others. Everything is technically...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    And insiders never tell you the truth about their design choices. Tell me why the X2 being bigger than some point and shoots doesn't have a full size SD slot? Why does the B40 not have a full size SD slot sticking out that can easily be enclosed by the shroud. Are you telling me that a competent...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Phones "grow" for various reasons nowadays. Some people prefer razor thin phones with small batteries (so that they can butter their toast or whatever) and some people like bulkier ones with extended batteries. Some are bigger than others because of speaker placements. These are all design...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Designs are all about priorities and compromises. Some phones have big batteries and some don't. In other cases, the same phone can have dual SIM cards in one region and in other regions they only have one SIM slot. So although it looks like the UK version of the Galaxy S5 is packed to the brink...

    How to use cheap storage in a dash cam (128GB+)

    Disclaimer: This is in no way an endorsement of the G1W. I hate mine because it doesn’t work when it is cold but I have no other dash cam to demonstrate this neat trick on. So, I hate microSD cards because they are slow, expensive and lacking in capacity. These cards were designed for back in...

    G1W capacitor freezing on startup - is there a solution?

    Thanks. My camera has the same settings and firmware (2 minute loop recording though) but it came in an orange box. Don't know if that's a coincidence...

    G1W capacitor freezing on startup - is there a solution?

    Lucky you! Do you happen to remember what colour box your camera came in? I've wired my camera to come on only with the ignition key in.

    G1W capacitor freezing on startup - is there a solution?

    It works for me sometimes as well but when it is colder I have to wait for a while before the restart works

    G1W capacitor freezing on startup - is there a solution?

    Camera stays on welcome screen if it is too cold. The screen saver activates after 3 minutes which is how I have set it up, so it is not completely dead. This happens first thing in the morning as I leave it in the car. It seems it needs to be at least 5°C so have to unplug it and drive for...

    G1W-C from gearbest in orange box - how to check authenticity?

    I have just received it and can't find the G1W-C written on and I was expecting a blue box. Can someone help me figure out if it is genuine and that it has a cap and not a battery (would prefer not to open it unless necessary) And finally, the manual is well written and unfortunately no...

    Power cable distorts radio signal (FM)

    That's what I thought so in the end I bought an EasyAcc and a Veetop triple USB adapters. When I received them, I realized they were identical apart from the paint job and the box graphics. I've found them to be a lot better and I can only notice their interference when my radio's reception...

    2CH Panorama X2. FullHD + FullHD ( 256Gb ). Sony Exmor CMOS. WDR. GPS. 24/7 Parking Mode Rec.

    With the camera body so big, why not use 2 full size SD slots? And as others have said, why not make both lenses remote? Now you'll need to route 2 cable around your windscreen. If I had the money to get one of these, I'd be tempted to mount the main body in the back with the remote lens on the...

    Power cable distorts radio signal (FM)

    Post 27 but reverend seems to have it covered. So just keep us posted with your results in terms of interference! As you said from the top I think you mean as show in post 32? If that's the case, then the Wicked Chili seems longer but not by much. Thanks guys

    Power cable distorts radio signal (FM)

    Did some more troubleshooting just now and what I said previously was wrong so deleted my post. In my case, it is definitely FM radio interference as my other inputs are not affected. My phone has worse reception than my car radio (car has external antenna and the phone is basically inside a...
