This is a camera I'll play with over the next few weeks, including a few weeks of use in a tractor trailer.
Initial impressions? It's 'OK'. It has some features I don't need, or aren't likely to use.
I'm not a fan of 'proprietary' mounts, I'd rather see a standard tripod threaded hole for the mount.
The 'slot' mounting attachment seems solid, and it takes some effort to mount or dismount the camera.
My camera arrived with an adhesive mount with a reasonable amount of adjustment.
The manual is 95% Chinese language. I'll be fumbling with the camera for the next few days to see what I need to change, what features are useful, etc.
I formatted a spare card and mounted the camera in my Pickup to use the next few days, and the following video is before I bothered to try to figure out how to access the menu, and set the date/time. (Not so hard once I tried)
I'll try to make some 'how to' videos with explanations of how to access the menu, and set features when I get a chance.
Video seems OK, for 720p. The resolution will probably eliminate this camera for 'enthusiasts', but we will see how reliable and functional this camera is in daily use. It may be a good first cam, or a camera for somebody just wanting some protection, not an avocation.
The mount that was included, below.
Size comparison, Left to Right: Mobius Wide Angle, A118-C, HP F200, Papago GS 110.
The Papago is probably 'middle of the pack' in the 'discrete' arena. If you are paranoid, a few careful minutes with a black magic marker will cover up the Logo! and you could probably make the lens surround look a bit more stealth.
The included power cord has an inline transformer, with a tiny LED in it.
Standard 'Mini' USB plug, so will use a different USB power connection in my truck, (From a 12v USB Adapter 'hub')
The GS 110 is in the same price range of the A118-C, and Mobius, both of which are reliable, and produce decent 1080p video. This GS 110 is a capacitor version.
During my first short drive with the GS110, (Before I checked the settings) the camera beeped at strange times. Later I figured out the beeps were due to some of the 'safety' features being set as default to 'ON'. (Turned off now, but may play with them later.)
There is a 'format' reminder option, and you can set the interval.
Build quality? OK. Not obviously awful, but it's still a sub-$100 (US) plastic bodied dash cam.
