Impressive little device. At first I thought the voice and audio prompts would be annoying, because every DashCam video I saw they were really annoying. But it wasn't too loud -- they obviously just seem louder in the videos because the microphone is so near the speaker. I do like that you can turn off all audio and lights.
My biggest gripe which keeps this from being a device that meets all my requirements is that it wasn't designed to swivel. I mistakenly thought it swiveled around its base -- I know the clear mount has a tiny bit of swivel, but that isn't really what I want. I want to be able to flip up my mirror and swivel the device so I can record my driver's side door in the even that I am pulled over by the police.
I like that it can take 64 and 128GB SD cards. Does anybody know if the 256GB ones work as well ? Not that I'm crazy enough to spend nearly $500 on a 256GB card.
The only other thing that would have been nice is WiFi, but I also understand that would have jacked the price up closer to the BlackVue which I wasn't really looking to pay. Speaking of WiFi, it would be nice if the firmware had an option for "Eye-Fi compatibility mode" which would use folder and filenames compatible with the Eye-Fi so whenever I park in my garage, all of the videos are uploaded to my home server and removed from the SD card after upload (the Eye-Fi card firmware itself would take care of the deletion after upload).
