You may recall I bought an A119 over a year ago, made a DIY CPL, fixed a buzzing noise (buttons) and then disappeared. That's because now it's sorted and just... works!
BUT... my wife was watching "Car Crash TV" or similar last night and said "Get me one!"
My default would be to get another A119, and I notice there's now A119V2 and A119S. Prices £75-85 for the A119 or A119V2
But having a quick nose around here, the B1W seems to be well regarded at around £45 on ebay, although 7 pages of discussion about various niggles worries me, here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/blueskysea-b1w-dashcam.31173/
And I just watched Techmoan's review of the Yi 2.7 Ultra:
At £66 delivered this seems like an OK buy?
So, what's best value for money? The A119, which I know how to use; the B1W which doesn't seem quite as capable as the A119 in the 7 way test here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threa...gitup-f1-g3-a119-b1w-xiaomi-mijia-mini.32045/ ; or the Yi 2.7 Ultra?
And who on here supports the Blueskysea B1W and Yi? I had excellent support from @viofo last year, but I see from the Yi 2.7 Ultra thread support may not be good here or direct? And Blueskysea?
I'm tempted by Techmoan's recommendation to go for the Yi 2.7 at £66, but @Wastedagen had some issues, here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/yi-ultra-dash-camera.30650/page-3#post-381415
Which would you choose and why? Any others I'm missing which do as good a job for less, are reliable, and have good support?
Many thanks for your input.
