Honestly, I'm just looking for someone to film themselves driving around with both a A119 Mini 2 and a A119M Pro to compare footage in day and night. That's what matters.
Correct, I 100% agree.
Unfortunately you are going to have to “hurry up, and wait”. lol
More on this in a minute.
But what's the point of comparing videos from a 4K model with videos from a 2K model?
You should be comparing models with identical specifications.
Also correct, I 100% agree.

"I have seen comparison videos in the past between 2K and 4K models that sometimes show a surprising upset during night time shots, where the 2K sensor is able to take in more light and therefore has a clearer picture at night than the 4K sensor.
I know on paper the A119M Pro should be better, but specs don't tell you everything.
No point in more pixels if the sensor doesn't get as much light"

I’ve been testing Viofo cameras since 2020, and whenever we get a new upgraded model I usually devote 50% of my testing time comparing it with the previous model to see what’s been improved, or made worse, (I’m looking at you “Audio Quality / Volume Level & Boot Up Speed” just to name two).
And the other 50% of my testing time comparing with competitors from other brands, (it all depends on what’s available on the market at the time).
Because we always get questions like;
1.) Is the new model worth upgrading from the old model?
2.) Is the new model worth the extra money?
Of course only the customer can make that decision, and all I can do is present test data / results, and post side by side test footage for image quality comparison / analysis.
On August 12, 2025 when I received A119M Pro, (fully finished retail version with serial number same as sold to customer) I was fired up to compare with A119 Mini 2, but I realized it would be like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
My next thought was to ask Vanture for an E1 Pro for the sole purpose of comparing the two cameras side by side.
Even though E1 Pro was released January 2025, (10 months ago) I still think it’s the closest competitor to A119M Pro based on hardware specifications, small size, 1CH, and budget “low price”.
Q: Why haven’t I uploaded any test footage for image quality comparison / analysis of A119M Pro along with Vantrue E1 Pro, or A119 Mini 2?
A: Because I’m still waiting on the very first fully finished official public firmware for A119M Pro.
Until I see the first official public firmware available on Viofo’s official website, I’m unwilling to gather, and post test footage for comparison / analysis.
