Also got G2W with similar specs as G1W but it has good quality aluminum body, smaller form factor and 170 ( 178 ? ) degree lens angle ?
Will do video test and more deep review soon along with RAW files.

Menu interface is similar to DOD LS300W

Specs and price seem good but I think the form factor might be a bit too noticeable.

I think if painted with matt black plasti dip full body ( front and sides ) then it can look stealthy right behind the mirror and non of the dash cam body parts can be seen from inside as well due to this camera being compact, but will be watching a screen. Actually operating this dash camera is not that hard even if can not see screen, all buttons are on the sides, so solution would be connecting this dash cam to the in-car multimedia ( headunit ) if people has it in they car., but of course not all has it.
Other than that price per built quality and video recording is good and so called "super wide" lens angle 170 degree is actually much less in real life and video on the sides is not that much distorted as I originally predicted.
