- Goluk T3 (x2), Mini 0805p
Back story. I owned an E-Prance 0803 since June 2014 and it was great. When it died in early January 2017, I bought an Arpenkin 0805 off Amazon for $55, however it had issues from day 1. It started off with always showing an error on the screen at boot up saying the card cannot be used, but then it used the card anyways. It did this with multiple different brand cards, all 32GB class 10. About 2-3 weeks later, the battery died, but the camera still kept working when plugged in. Now the camera only records 13 second clips and skips the other 47 seconds of the 1-minute loop setting which makes it essentially useless. It totally skipped over an incident I saw last Friday. That was the last straw. I started the RMA process with the 3rd party Amazon seller about 2 weeks ago, but it has been really difficult to deal with them, so today I finally contacted Amazon and they were able to issue a return for me.
I've been looking at a few other dashcams to replace this one with, but I really like the Mini series because I have bases mounted in all my cars, and I can just move the camera from car to car really easily. The Mini is also the best at hiding entirely behind my rearview mirror which is a must have for me (A119S is too big). None of the other cameras I've been looking at meet my needs quite as good as the Mini series, but I'm annoyed at how quickly my 0805 died. Looking online I'm seeing tons of different "brands" of these cameras (Adashine, ChiTronic, not branded at Gearbest, SplashETech, KAWIS). What are the differences, which is the best and which seller has the best support?
The other camera I'm currently considering is the GoLuk T2.
