if you don't see the same listed here I'd be wary http://www.dod-tec.com/product.php

Which file system you are using on your ADATA microSD?
I tested my (second) new microSD with 64 GB from ADATA (without any changes from me; as it came from factory) with this tool and it has found nothing.Not sure if its still relevant to you, but try to use h2testw on all your cards before using them, just to make sure. Also you can test them now, and if they ar estill 30GB then reformat them with the proper apps. Anyway I've been using that model of ADATA 64GB card for a few months and no issues. Not formatted at all, as it came from factory.
I have the DOD LS300W. I've had ZERO problems with it and I love it. I thought about getting the newer model but ...
With the latest LS430W firmware (New Firmware for DOD LS430W (2014-04-09 EN11) http://dod-tech.co.uk/Download/firmware/ls430w/ls430w_EN_11_201404090_64GBsupport.zip), from here: http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/new-firmware-for-ls430w-and-ls330w.4675/page-2, I cannot disable WDR anymore. The only option is ON.
Also, I serisouly believe there's some issue with the footage, because I get a LOT of noise on it during the night, compared with Techmoans, in similar conditions. Tbh, I see virtually NO noise in his review.
I updated to the latest firmware here before doing a test footage. I previously had a firmware from January 2014 or the like. Any idea about the noise ? Does DOD provide any comments to their firmware updates ? Like "updated quality, fixed X and Y" ?
Techmoan: skip to 8:46
Another reviewer: skip to 8:59
Mine:
(3 minute long, similar lightning conditions throughout)
Similar lightning conditions and yet I have so many artifacts it gets ridiculous at one point. Is there a "preferred firmware" version with an emphasis on video quality ? What firmware do you guys have on it ?
I got this camera from an authorised DOD dealer, here locally (Romania). Could this be a fake ?
Am I crazy here ? Or is the quality not up to par with the other videos of ls430w on youtube ?
Ok but the compass can be useful. I know it came in handy for me several times. So it can still be resized to make room for other things like a clock (though most cars have a clock)the screen "speed display" option, DOD should be remove the stupid compass and insert clock. also have a red dot for "recording" on the screen speed display as in the truck you cannot see the LED blinking when its recording. a hot button for "parking mode" and maybe a valet mode for when you vehicle goes in for service or other people are driving. few other points ill post on later.
