    Great video thank you. The clear sheet is a lot bigger than it needs to be…wonder if I could use scissors to cut it to half the size as the cam mount is way smaller than the sheets…just curious

    Either I’m blind or something, I didn’t see a discount code. I’ve been looking for a small dash cam for a while and this one is perfect. Thanks for the review, if I trust anyone with dash cams, it’s you. Those Blackvue dash cams were A1, just out of my price range 😂.

    I HIGHLY recommend the Viofo a119 dash cam. I have the V3 version, and the quality is great. Only downside is that I can't connect to phone, I have to use a usb cable (which they give) and connect it to my computer at home to view footage. I'd give it a 8.5/10! It's selling for $99 and you can see the footage on my channel although the footage quality is greatly decreased through KZread's publication. it's much better before going through KZread's editor, i promise!

    Hello and thank you for this very interesting video. I am French and I would like to ask you a question about external batteries. In your video, you talk about Blackvue external batteries, are they compatible with the VANTRUE Element 1 and 2? Because it seems to me that on these batteries there is no USB-C input or output? Thanks in advance and have a nice day. Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo très intéresante.

    Thanks for the review. I was encouraged to buy this camera, but now I regret it and am about to return it to Amazon. The reason is that the app doesn't work on my iPhone. I have the most up-to-date version of the app as well as the latest version of iOS; however, when I connect to the unit's WiFi, all the app does is spin its wheel in the "live view" screen. It doesn't show the live view, and it won't let me get past that to the various controls in the app. As far as I am concerned, the app is garbage (even though the camera seems good).

Within a few seconds the Wi-Fi disconnects. The download never completes. I try this again and get the same results.

    At 9:10 - "You really only get one shot at this...". What does that mean? Also, mine does not stick to the "electrostatic" sheet at all, there's no attraction, nothing sticky, nothing. How do you get the camera mount to stick? To me the "electrostatic" sheet is like a phone screen protector, i.e. when you peel off the film #1 there's a slight adhesive, a little bit sticky, which makes it stick to the windshield (or the front of the phone). Then remove the film #2, and the part on the windshield is perfectly smooth, no adhesive or anything. I then removed the paper 3M label from the camera mount, but when I press it against the film on the windshield, it doesn't stick. What am I doing wrong? Thx,

    That means when you’re sticking it to your windshield make sure it’s aligned the way you want it because once that tape hits the glass that’s it. It’s strong. You only get one shot at mounting it the way you want it, or you have to rip it off and use the spare piece of 3M tape they give you.

    @@EastCoastJeepSRT Thanks and sorry to split hairs, but I need to know. At 8:45, when you're about to stick the camera mount on the plastic sheet already on your windshield, is the camera mount sticky to the touch? Or does it have a piece of clear plastic on it? Mine is not sticky and will not adhere to the "electrostatic" thing. Did you have to remove, peel off a piece of clear plastic from the camera mount to make it stick? Thx,

    The parking mode is flawed. Luckily I won't be using it. The CPL filter is good for sunny days, but bad for night vision.
