Ordered one from Gearbest 3 weeks ago just to try, for $30 USD delivered I figured I had little to lose. Much to my surprise, I actually like it!
Just upgraded firmware, which has resolved the GPS time issue (for the most part.) Video quality is surprisingly good day and night, far better than I expected for the price, focus is spot-on. Parking mode doesn't totally suck, though I won't use it much, may just opt for time lapse occasionally if I'm parking in a 'strange' area. The 'super cap' has not screwed up closing a file yet, and no issues with the LV heat (yet). Build quality is certainly not top notch, but with some care it looks like it may last a while. I really can't come up with anything bad to say about it, considering.
It has two different 1080 modes, one called 'boost'. Same resolution, but transfer rate must be higher (of course larger file sizes) as it is still 30 fps. Of course, has various lower resolution selections. All in all, seems to be a good value for the stupidly low price. May buy another another to slap in an old truck that doesn't get driven much, doesn't get locked. If stolen, only out the price of a couple beers and shots at the local bar - thats probably where it'll be stolen, now that I think about it...
