Suggest GPS + HD DvR for $100

[abishek]

hi
i stay in india where its a tropical climate so ideally i need to using a capacitor based dvr.

my options are limited to purchasing from aliexpress for $100 with another addition $50 to ship it via fedex to india as post and ems can get stuck in customs.

my options are as i understand G1W is the best but no gps
others are
GS9000 = loose mount, firmware issues
X3000= poor camera / reviews
R300 shadow = seems ok
G1w-C = capacitor based ideal but no gps
F900 LHD= option with gps and remote
external battery can be replaced after it swells in hot temp
Not sure how it compares to original dod without gps: buying from saddle seller on aliexp

Anyone make suggestions

What for you need a gps data, only for speed ?

 

[abishek]

If i do a long trip to another state the time taken , avg speed at a section. And yes speed at which the video was taken also.

For countries with so called extream climate ( cold / hot weather ) its best to have capacitor based dashcams.

I've been impressed w/ my Finevu pros as they hardly get warm. I only have experience w/ these DCs, but I've read about other posters who complain that their DCs get hot...I've had mine in 90F outside temps & they barely feel warm to the touch.

Ordered a RX300 from aliexpress: Saddle seller
Foxoffer refused to ship to india despite me paying for express shipping.
On the whole found the whole experience with fox offer very bad.

If it's a country they don't ship to then not much you could do

 

[niko]

Unfortunately there are some areas where due to multiply delivery related issues many don't send ( customs, postal services etc. )
My suggestion is to do a new order and to post to some other country to your friend and your friend will post it to you.

Not much but 0801 looks like a candidate.

It's already ordered from saddle.

Clearly there are reports on Indian forums that foxoffer has shipped to India before.

As I understand foxoffer is based in hongkong so is saddle on Ali express, I don't see how dhl will refuse to ship to India from the same city!. Secondly it was just a very poor response to my queries despite repeated email queries I get a reply after a few days in one line and no response beyond that.

I don't think Foxoffer are based in Hong Kong

Beautiful... except not

My shipment hasn't even left Hong Kong and it's been 3 days since I purchased it. True Express service I'd say.

Clearly the post shows Foxoffer :RX300 is shipped from HK via DHL

 

[jokiin]

Yeah shipped by a local carrier to HK first, the DHL service takes over from there, same as what I posted in the thread you linked to

The problem for shipping would have to do with the destination
