Just ordered one, gonna try it in my F770, hopefully it works. Always had trouble finding a 128 GB SD card that works. Only one that worked for me before is the Samsung Evo+ but those are way too expensive for what you're getting lol

This whole MLC vs SLC vs TLC sdcard s have been going on forever...
From march2015:
#14
I decided to do some quick internet research on this to understand the characteristics of SLC and MLC (TLC is a form of MLC, from what I read). Everything I read seems to point to the opposite of what is being said here. SLC is more reliable, faster, and more expensive than MLC. MLC is found in most consumer electronics because it is cheaper to produce but has a shorter life than SLC. SLC generally uses lower voltages than MLC. TLC stores 3 bits per cell, while MLC stores 4 bits per cell - meaning TLC wears slower due to less read/write cycles per cell. SLC stores 1 bit per cell - thus even longer life.
All things being equal, it seems SLC>TLC>MLC in terms of speed and longevity. Of course performance varies based on the manufactures implementation.
I'm no expert, but it seems for long life and faster read/writes, SLC is the way to go (but more expensive). A quick search on Amazon yielded some SLC Micro SD cards -16GB going for $60 by Industrial Micro.
If you're looking for a good quality camera and you don't care about parking mode check out the A119s it's best performance for dollar. If not one of the Anker/Aukey ones from amazon is the same.

To the ppl who ordered the Transcend from amazon mentioned above. Hows it working out for you?
Works perfectly in my F770. Finally found a 128GB SD card that works that didn't cost a fortune. Video quality seems to be on par with most of the other Class 10 UHS-1 cards I've had in the camera before.

What do you guys think about this? (skip to 60% into the video)
Would this be an "at fault" claim where my insurance premiums will increase?
It feels like the tire came out of the car in front of me but I'm not sure
Did you catch the plate and car model?
First thing is to research if that SUV model carries a spare on the underside of the car as opposed to in the trunk. If you have a plate, ICBC can do some investigating like seeing if that car still has their spare tire.
Object Lying in the Road = Collision Claim
Hitting an object lying in the road can cause front end damage and undercarriage damage to your vehicle. Whether the object is debris dropped by a pickup truck, a pot hole, or a fallen tree you are looking at a collision claim on your car insurance. Expect to pay a deductible when filing a collision claim. In this case, it will be considered an at-fault claim which will affect your car insurance rates in the future, unless you have purchased accident forgiveness. Insurance carriers consider objects in the road avoidable accidents which makes it an at-fault accident.
Unfortunately, if it's a black and white rule, your insurance rate will be affected. Unless somehow your dashcam video will prove otherwise, cause in my opinion, that was an unavoidable situation.

Thanks AzNightmare, it looks like I'm left with damage I have to fix this myself from something that seemed unavoidable.. But from the looks of the damage, I'm hoping it's just cosmetic only... will need to check alignment for sure though.
I had the same scenario happen to my MR2 on Knight bridge... a black wheel chock had fallen off a tow truck, I was driving at night, zero chance of seeing it... my car with brand new Gram Lights on it hit the chock, went BANG so hard and bent both my brand new passenger side rims and blew out both tires.
I call into ICBC... she asked me if it fell off the tow truck in front of me and I said no... so she said well then you should have seen it, road hazard, accident claim against you. I was like "So if I said it fell off the tow truck in front of me, it's hit and run and only a deductible?" and she said "Yup, but you already admitted it was just on the road so you're on the hook"... how the fuck they expect I can see a black object on a black road at night is beyond me, but I had to eat it all.
So, tell them it fell off the truck in front of you and don't say shit about a dashcam or otherwise and you should be covered. Worth a shot, even if they say no you can just choose not to have your insurance cover it.
Just so happen that area of road was an unlit spot, so hard to see where it originated from. I would try calling in as suggested and claim the tire fell off directly in front of you if you want to give it a shot...
Although, trying to play "detective" here (cause I kind of like over analyzing things), and re-watching the moment over and over again, I actually think the tire may have been there already. If you watch the (white) vehicle in front of the SUV that was in front of you, it looks like his right side tires crossed out of his lane and then went back into his lane, as if he was avoiding something.
The lane change from the SUV in front seemed a bit unnatural. As if it delayed moving into the adjacent lane. If you use the dashed white line as reference, you can see his right tires move past the line as it begins to change lanes, then the SUV drives along the line for a slight moment, then once past the tire on the ground, it continues to move into the adjacent lane. It's subtle, but you can kind of see it almost looks like it changed it's path to avoid something.
The tire also seems to be too stably flat on the ground from suddenly falling off, and from a SUV going that speed. There's a high probability the tire would be wobbling considering tires are bouncy.
Anyhow, those are just my opinions from what I see. It's dark and the video quality is only so good... so it's hard to gather conclusive info.

tested out a 4K 'no name' dashcam.. was impressed especially with the wide angle of vision.
Azdome GS63H
Is it just the Youtube compression or is it me? I couldn't make out any license plates except for the car directly in front of you at the 152/Hwy10 light. The image is pretty soft for anything that isn't' dead centre.
Wide angle is a double edged sword. While you can see more, the wider view also means distortion/fuzziness on the outside portion of the video.

could be youtube compression.. keep in mind, this being a 'no name' generic Chinese brand... the lens is questionnable.
I received an LG innotek lgd521 dashcam recently. It doesnt work and my best guess is its a software issue within the camera. Is there a shop/store that i could bring it to? i tried resetting it but nothing happens. it should have voice prompts but i get nothing from the camera. i checked the memory card and it does not save any video files.
Over the weekend, my G1WH froze and died. Looks like from what I've read, members who have the G1W still like it the best (if it hasnt died yet).
For members that upgraded from the G1W, what did you guys get? I don't care for all the fancy upgrades like wi-fi capable, forward collision warning, etc. Parking mode would be nice, but not a priority.
Priority would be: video quality in both day and night

G1W is known for dying between the 9-12 month mark, or at least start acting up around then. I switched over to a Thinkware F50 for my secondary cars (I think there's a new one out called the F100). It's a bit more expensive but at least its backed by a big name manufacturer and has a hassle free 1-year warranty. Been using it for 1.5 years now and have had zero issues.

Mine died at the 26 month mark, so I guess I'm lucky. I actually ended up picking up a Vantrue T2, which comes with a super capacitor rather than battery.
Funny thing is that my G1W revived itself, when my Vanture T2 came. I suspect it to be a temperature issue.
