Vantrue S1 Pro Impression

[runtohell121]

Thanks to @Jeff_Vantrue for sending the Vantrue S1 Pro for testing/review.

Initial impression as usual with majority of Vantrue dash cams are nice build quality and have some heft to it. It's a wedge design dash cam, but quite a bit bigger than the Viofo A119 series. It does not have a removable GPS/mount base, so once you stick it onto the car, it's pretty permanent, though you don't really expect to remove a dash cam often.

Here are some photos of the unit/box/packaging:

I haven't gotten to installing it and actually testing, but those will come soon.

Installed on the 2024 Mazda CX-90. The cables are not routed through the a-pillar (don't want to mess with it yet). I did not install the rear camera as I planned on running two (2) separate single channel dash cams. White cable is for the radar detector.

Current setup on the 2024 Mazda CX-90:
Vantrue S1 Pro for front
Viofo A119 Mini 2 for rear
