Thank you BlackboxMyCar could you provide some Footage. Maybe raw files on like mega upload or google drive? would be interresting to see how well the compression and quality is. Specially need more Footage of it used at Night.
 
day video looks alright on the front camera

Yea the rear and night seems a bit lacking, maybe something future firmware updates will fix. Thinking back to other BlackVue launches they do always make it better over time.

What Micro SD card did you use if you don't mind sharing info. Was looking for some 128gb MLC ones for 4k H.265 footage. Also did you use a CPL filter?
 
Can you tell if the 900 fits in the mount of the 750? And will the 750 cabling fit in the 900?

We used 128GB card from Sandisk the Ultra A1 card, and we didn't use a CPL filter.

Looks like it should

those aren't MLC tho or am I wrong? also doesn't SanDisk not warranty DashCam used Micro SD cards?
 
they warrant the High Endurance cards for dashcam use, if you're looking at other models best to buy them with the camera as the vendor will be sorting out any warranty issues
 
SanDisk 128Gb Ultra A1

or

Samsung 128GB U3

which would yeah recommend. thanks

We used the Samsung cards before but lately, we've been having problems with them on Thinkware dashcams.
For best results, BlackVue does recommend their own cards but for our customers' sake, we do test different brands just to test compatibility.

It doesn't seem to be handling the dynamic range too well, that lens flare of the headlights and street lamps really takes over the image. As suggested, maybe a CPL filter will reduce it, but then you will be using a 3rd party filter (I don't think BlackVue make them - but happy to be proved wrong) which may work antagonistically with any future updates.
Hopefully the "New High Dynamic Range (HDR) capability" they mentioned st SEMA is just not enabled yet :)

I didn't see that in the options just yet so maybe a bit later?
But we do want to try it with a CPL however we're currently out of stock so will have to wait and see.

What is with those flickering signal / brake lights? Major distraction!
 
Ultra-bright LED lights always have a strobing effect. That's how they attain the brightness without burning out the LEDs. Normally the human eye can't detect them. But when "filmed" (and that includes digital), in many cases the frame rate will go in & out of sync with the strobing, and the result is what you see.
It's the same effect you see when watching TV shows from inside a propeller aircraft, and the prop appears to not be spinning, spinning slowly or even backwards.
