Mini 0803 coming

[jokiin]

Lens won't change that it's a firmware issue

 

[leggo]

Any reason you never went with a class 10 TF card?

Class 10 is not recommended for this cam

 

[leggo]

Is that anything to worry about, they may come up with a fix later on down the track,

The effect does not worry me at all, most of my driving is in the dark so I need the cam to see in the dark which this cam does very well.

I tried a 32gb class 10 card and it sent the cam crazy.

has improved greatly already, there's still room for improvement though

 

[jokiin]

Class 10 is not recommended for this cam

that was the recommendation for the 0801, the 0803 doesn't suffer the same limitations though

 

[jokiin]

you'll see more at night with an 0803, potentially it can be improved a lot more though, the 0801 is as good as it will get already

I'm using Kingston 32GB Class10 card, without any problem. Works perfect! 🙂

Have anyone tried 64GB card?

 

[Hilts]

Ok thanks, dose yours get hot, I was looking at buying one from Diggcam.com they have the ones with 1296P on them

I don't know diggcam, but If you checked carefully, their products category is almost same as foxoffer, also some products info are same as foxoffer, even use our waterproof picture.
Most of products sell same price as foxoffer, some sell $1 less than us.

The FoxOffer 'Watermark' on the photo proves that Diggcam.com have copied items from the FoxOffer website. I'd be a little weary buying from an unknown source, without having positive feedback from others first...

has a bit of a Renoir effect when you pause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Auguste_Renoir

Does that mean if I hold onto mine for, lets say, 100 years or so it could be worth Millions??!😛
Don't worry I'm only taking the Picasso...😉

I'd requested that possibility elsewhere and got the following replies....

+ make the 0803 compatible with 64GB exFAT format memory cards.

that's a big ask

If you don't ask you don't get! 😉
If it isn't possible, nothing lost nothing gained.

it's possible, the chipset supports it, there are license fees involved as it's a patented technology, given the price point I'd suspect the factory probably wouldn't be keen on spending the money required though (it's quite expensive)
I'm sure if the Russian's ever decided to work on this model it would happen 😉

So it's not compatable with exFAT formatted cards, yet....
Here's hoping one day it will be, please Mr Manufacturer/Developer!!😵

 

[leggo]

That's strange, Foxoffer sells these with a class 10, I'm getting close to ordering one, just can't make up my mind.

How much better if any is the 0803 than 0801 in your opinion

Not used 0801 so I can't compare.
Main reason I went for the 0803 is for the WDR

Think It's pot luck with class 10 cards.
Manual does say class 6 is recommended.
My class 10 card didn't work.
Might buy a Kingston class 10 card and see if It's works on mine.

 

[jokiin]

Manual would be a lazy cut and paste job from the old 0801 manual, there's no need to use Class 6 cards with this model

I am thinking of ordering a 0803 from the UK next week. I am just about to return the second dodgy worlds smallest dashcam effort thingy as its complete rubbish and totally unreliable.

How are you guys getting on with the latest production 0803? Will I regret getting one or should I go for an 0801?

 

[jokiin]

Although the 0803 could still do with some fine tuning in the firmware the hardware won't change so probably still better to go with the newer model, @JooVuu has both

 

[niko]

Personally, I will wait until I see examples of output that are acceptable (to me).
There is never any guarantee that a new piece of hardware can be improved to the standard you are looking for by changes to the firmware - or that the engineers who developed the product have the capability to improve it sufficiently.
However this is purely a personal thing - and you could end up waiting forever - so in the meantime I will keep looking for acceptable (price, features and quality) alternatives.😉

As I understood, hardware is sorted out ( latest production models with better lens ). Only thing is to wait til firmware will be fully tuned up.

It reminds me situation with Vico WF1. It took about half year to get firmware to tune-up to best possible video result. Same situation is with 0803. Sooner or later I believe FW will be sorted.

The effect does not worry me at all, most of my driving is in the dark so I need the cam to see in the dark which this cam does very well.

As for now, - it does OK, but could be better if comparing to some other similar price-range dashcams. Still some small tweaks in FW need to be done.

 

[arthuryankovski]

So it's not compatable with exFAT formatted cards, yet....

Yep, but i think, there probably is a possibility to format SDXC 64GB card in FAT32.
So, before Russian guys will add support of exFAT in "unofficial FW", or manufacturer will buy the license, somebody can try 64gb FAT32 card.

 

[jokiin]

I thought I read someone had tried a 64gb card already
