I'm about to purchase my first dashcam and am considering the two flagship models from BlackVue, perhaps the (upcoming 2-chan.) Viofo A129 and of course a ThinkWare F800 or F800Pro. I just have a few questions. I realize I can find most online but the information may be more valuable coming from actual owners:
1. For the F800 series' parking mode, is the time lapse feature with (I think) 2 FPS recording a useful system? I ask because I believe the BV models don't have this at all. Or alternatively, is the standard buffered full recording feature better?; and
2. Are the extra features of the "Pro" model (i.e., possible cloud usage, energy saving parking mode and maybe the extra storage capability of 128GB) worth the extra money over the F800; that is, presuming the camera lenses are the same? If so, why or why not?
3. [Optional] Any reason you might have selected a ThinkWare dashcam over a BlackVue, if indeed you did?
Thank you kindly for your help. - Mike
