**************************************************************
GoSafe 272 GS272-US review summary:
It has great form factor. Pretty small and sleek design.
Build quality is very good.
Video quality during daytime is decent but not as good as Ambarella model like GoSafe 520 but for the price and good build quiality, it's pretty good.
Night quality is good as shown from the screenshots and videos above.
I'd put its video/audio quality to Novatek based dashcams but with better build quality than generic ones and has better features. I think night is better than the Novatek based dashcams.
The mount is very sturdy and can pan in any direction.
Since it has tripod mount, it can be mounted on other mounts if needed.
The driver assistance features like headlight reminder, stop and go work really good.
Stop and Go feature immediately beeps when front car moves on green light or heavy traffic.
For the price and sleek form factor with better build quality than generic dashcams, it's very good option.
If you need better video quality, go for the Papago GoSafe 520 that's based on Ambarella A7 chip and has all the similar driver assistance features.

Papago mentions this camera will have lifetime firmware upgrade support so that's something to change menu and settings in the future depending upon feedback.
The Papago GS272-US is based on Altek Sunny 10+SA200 chip and does 1920x1080p video resolution.
It has some neat features like stop/go alert and headlight reminder.
Package contents:
Physically, it's very slim with the lens housing kind of molded with the camera body.
It's mostly black so not too noticeable.
Build quality is very good and feels well made.
Most of the buttons are on the back next 2.4" LCD screen.
Edges have just one button or port each making it more sleek.
Front:
Top: Mount attachment and min USB charging port.
Note: The mount is a 1/4" screw unlike the normal slide in/out in most dashcams.
This is very solid and will never separate.
Another great thing is the mount allows dashcam to rotate to any direction.
Check unboxing video @ 3:20 for mount movements.
Back: 2.4" LCD with most of the buttons on the right side.
Right edge: Power button.
Left edge: mini HDMI out port.
Bottom: microSD slot.
Unboxing Video:
Mount movement @ 3:20.
Side-by-side with other dashcams:
Papago GS272-US, Papago GS520-US, Dome G90.
Papago GS272-US, Papago GS520-US, Dome G90, Lukas LK-7950WD.
Papago GS272-US, Lukas LK-7950WD.
Papago GS272-US, Papago GS520-US.
It's very slim and small.
