My new Vicovation WF1 DashCam just arrived yesterday.
It seems my passion/posts for DashCams have not gone unnoticed. Someone just sent me a Vicovation WF1 to review.
(not sure I can thank the DashCamTalk member by name yet, they said they didn't have time and probably knew I'd do a good job)
I updated it toFW V1.41 I mean FW V1.47

So far the WF1 fits perfectly under my Rearview Mirror. (like dead center, looks OEM) I can't see the DashCam at all when driving just like the 0801. I used the double stick tape mount.
The Video quality is amazing, and WDR is very good for night vision. 160 degree wide angle is a bit over kill but looks good still surprisingly.
The WiFi iOS/iPhone app is pretty cool, I can transfer the .MP4 files directly into the iPhone for direct upload to youtube/facebook etc.
The WF1 doesn't have GPS though, so I'll be putting my mini 0801 in the back of my car as the Rear camera. That will be my GPS logger then. I can still attach the .log files as needed into RegistratorViewer.
I'lll be putting together a FULL detailed unbiased good/bad/ugly review soon after I worked with it for awhile first. (lots of pix/videos, and will even compare mini 0801 side by side)
I didn't completely jump ship. My mini 0801 should be the perfect rear DashCam. (and keeps GPS logging)
There is a bug with iPhone 5S users I reported. (can't change some settings) Support is working on it and will come out with a n update quickly. I was able to use my iPad to change settings for now. The support email was answered very quickly. (back and forth)
So as of now I'm officially part of the WF1 club!
