Hi all!
Just bought my v3 brand new a few days ago on Amazon. Day 1 worked great! Day 2 the thing only works about 5% of the time.
90% of the time, after start up, there is no video on screen- just the Viofo logo - with the timer rolling. usually the buttons still work, but it will freeze up pretty quick.
Now if you EVER adjust the camera angle (recording paused; with working video preview or not), the entire thing freezes up solid; buttons don't work, and the screen is completly stuck frozen.
It will also occasionally recycle on the start-up jingle, on an endless loop, until I disconnect power.
I'm using the GPS mount-- but there are no changes, even when I plug directly to strong power (cigarette lighter or wall charger).
I'm about to make a cross-country road trip in four days, thus the reason I bought it. Really hoping we can get it to work...
Thank you so much for your help!!!

- I've tried different Class 10 SD cards including SanDisk:: (32GB) Extreme PLUS HC1 V30 [U3] // (64GB) Extreme PLUS XC1 [U3] // (64GB) Ultra XC1 [U1] --- No Changes.
- I've reset the camera multiple times, as well as factory reset to all settings --- No Changes.
- I've reloaded the newest Firmware per Viofo instructions --- No Changes.
