Yi Ultra 2.7K Dashcam Review

[@Myjkel]

Creakying is not from mount, it's from camera buttons. If you shake with cam near to your ear you should hear it. I've noticed this to manufacturer I was trading with few years ago (to a different product of course), and to my suprise they fix it. ;)

[@Techmoan]

I've experienced rattling buttons on previous cameras...but they don't appear to make a sound on this one.

[@1dolar1note1]

I waited for this, dashcam vids always deliver

[@jezworld]

Hurrah - I'm glad you're revisiting dash cams. I bought the DDPai cam on your recommendation and it did the job famously. Fitted it to my M3, I filmed the entire trip driving around Scotland on the NC500. Sadly the car was stolen earlier this year (with the DDpai) so I'm on the lookout for a new replacement.

[@SmoothEmJay]

This channel is amazing purely for the fact that even when I have no interest in the product being reviewed, I still watch :)

[@BRBTechTalk]

Have you tried setting the collision detection on to "high" and see if it is less sensitive? I had my Cobra dash cam in a 4x4 and set it on a higher setting and it never went off even when I was off road.

[@larryscott3982]

That was my first thought. Low g trigger which is high sensitivity, or low sensitivity which is high g trigger. Since a minor pothole triggered on low I think it low g trigger. But I'm surprised he didn't describe the behavior on high after being disappointed with low.

[@andrewk8636]

I have their first car cam and on high it worked fine until.a software update I have it on high and now it still triggers on speed bumps sometimes

[@S1278-q9f]

Dashcams are good for filming while driving the Blyatmobile.

[@jd5179]

Lmao - Lada = Blyatmobile

[@silentdrive3243]

I've been looking for a good car camera and I think you got me sold on this man. I seriously appreciate your videos. It's a very intuitive interactive and knowledgeable of review on products that you happen to pick up. Much appreciated.

[@anthonyspecf]

I wonder if there really is a difference in a High Endurance memory card vs a regular one? I ask because SanDisk has a new line of "Nintendo Switch Certified" memory cards that are the same as their regular offerings, but are drastically more expensive. It just makes me wonder if High Endurance is just another marketing ploy so they can charge a few extra bucks.

[@UnluckyOmenYT]

anthonyspecf the only thing I could think of being a difference between regular and high endurance is the amount of writes the card can handle.

[@CattoRayTube]

The paint used to apply the branding to the card is extra high quality and won't wear off ;)

[@billmyke746]

William Kulich Sony low noise cards have the same high durability markings as well.

[@Techmoan]

One difference is that companies like Samsung now say their memory card warranties may be void if the card is used in a dashcam...unless you use their High Endurance cards. Now don't kill the messenger on this - I'm just passing on info.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

In a security cam or a dash cam, you're constantly writing the whole card in a loop, so you'll reach the rewrite limit in the shortest time. It might take a couple of years to wear out a standard one, but you'd never know if a write had failed until you tried to read it which might be very inconvenient if a crucial block of video was missing. There is a trade off in manufacturing between capacity, speed and rewrite cycles (endurance) so for a security camera I can see a benefit in special high endurance cards. If you can get a standard one with twice the capacity for the same price that might work out better, as it'll naturally last twice as long because each block is only written half as often.

[@PVflying]

Bought one on AliExpress thanks to your review. Today they have -10% promotion.

[@dustysparks]

I originally came to your channel for your camera reviews (can't remember which one now). It's also the reason I've stayed due to your thoroughness and thoughtfulness in your content and product reviews. :) If I'm ever over on that side of the pond, I'd love to buy you a pint. CHEERS! :)

[@rtesimpson]

One of the best channels on KZbin, by far!...

[@TheMacadoodles]

I bought one of these after watching your review, as I was impressed by the ability to watch videos via the app. Unfortunately I found the picture quality to be much worse than the Mobius it replaced. Reading other comments, it seems I’m not the only one. The quality of your footage is much better.

[@markholbrook7482]

Bought this dashcam due to your video. Refer to it from time to time if i need to adjust anything. In the few times over the last year when I've reviewed footage on my phone, downloaded over wifi, I've been very happy with the footage and sound quality too. I work nights and i agree that it's best to have a dashcam which is a fair representation of what you can actually see as a driver. Thanks for your hard efforts.

[@rrp6405]

some how you have managed to install a dashcam and not suddenly started aggressively accelerating towards people in the wrong or who made mistake. impressive :)

[@kamencic]

You do by far the best reviews of cameras. I wish you were making more action cam reviews. You are not someone who has a great need for action cams but you do best, thorough reviews of them. Great work.

[@ElZamo92]

I love the credits music. So satisfying...

[@iFxSnake1]

Been using this camera for around a year now and can't fault the video quality, a few of issues with it though. 1. It sometimes switches on with red light solid with nothing on display (Set to always on), thereby not recording anything, removing cable and reinserting fixes it. Could be because i'm using a nextbase cable that goes into the fuse box, And a right angle usb adaptor. 2. It's a bit iffy with some sd cards, i have a 32gb sandisk ultra u1 which it refuses to work with and a Transcend 64gb that sometimes works then refuses until it's formated again. The toshiba one that comes in the box works flawlessly and i'll be buying a bigger one very soon after finding out kwik fit took my car for a drive after a service/MOT, I only had 3 min of video as the rest was getting deleted. 3. Can't turn g-sensor off, annoying when i wanna listen to my music a little bit louder as the sd card soon fills up with triggered files.

[@traxonwax]

Great video! I had a laugh when the bump set off the collision video. The roads in Newfoundland, especially St. John’s would set that off constantly. Lol

[@ForViewingOnly]

I love your outro music Techmoan! It's so Tech-Zen. Relaxing and euphoric at the same time.

[@tomodlin]

I like the vids when you drive about Manchester. As an expat in Hong Kong, it's nice to see the place again.

[@anew742]

I already have a dashcam yet your videos are so good I have to watch it

[@skyerenard8939]

anew742 I have a dash cam too but it's always good to see if there is something else

[@RogerAllisonJones]

After watching this video I bought one of these from a Chinese seller on EBAY. I was very pleased with the build quality and the accessories, but unfortunately my model has unacceptable video quality, due to the lens being poorly focused. The leather grain on the dashboard is in clear, sharp focus, but anything further than the end of the bonnet is out of focus. I have googled for more information and find that this seemed to be a fairly common problem with the model before the "Ultra", but seems to be also present on this, later model. I have notified the seller about the problem and await a reply. I'll post any results.

[@TheMacadoodles]

I’ve noticed that the video quality isn’t that great either. I thought it was just me! It’s probably too late for me to send it back now anyway.

[@markm0000]

Roger Allison-Jones it's been 9 months what happened

[@AlvinSays]

Wow it’s has been a while since your last dashcam review. A big fan of yours. Coincidentally I’m looking to replace one then your post a new review. Thanks for your detailed review as usual! Great one mate

[@bryanv257]

I do love how much detailed information Techmoan puts in his videos, they're always a pleasure to watch/listen to, even if it's not about a product I'm currently interested in buying. I remember one time when I said a video of similar length to this one was "concise"...ahem...

[@crbenne]

I love watching your dashcam vids just to see some driving through the north of England. Did a trip last year and had a great time going from Liverpool up to Glasgow. Next trip I'm hoping to see more of Scotland, maybe I should get a dashcam so I can record it!

[@jeffreyd1701]

Yay dash camera reviews return. It's like the atari 5200 of dash cam reviews while everyone else is taking up pong!

[@Wedgehog]

Gotta smile watching this. Some of the test footage you used was right by where I live. Great review as ever.

[@mrdiggie3321]

You should look into polarizing filters. I put one on my A119 and it (mostly) prevents the dash reflecting off the windscreen in the recording.

[@bossveendam]

I was missing your dashcam reviews already. Thanks for another excellent review!

[@NicMG]

The sheer amount of Lidl's and Aldi's you went passed is mind blowing!

[@John_Ridley]

The SD card on mac is probably because they want to support larger card sizes, and FAT32 can't handle it. That means they have to go to FAT64 or NTFS. NTFS MacOS can read but not write, so I bet they went to FAT64. MacOS can't read that, or at least couldn't last I checked. FAT based filesystems are generally preferred in embedded systems because they're much simpler and handle power disconnects better, and usually on a camera you don't care whether the filesystem supports ownership permissions and gunk like that.

[@recrudesce]

FAT64 is exFAT. exFAT is supported in Mac OS X 10.6.5 and later. So there must be another reason the SD can't be read.

[@hpalvz]

Looks like it is the cluster size: discussions.apple.com/thread/2767345?tstart=0 SDXC cards are exFAT formatted by default.

[@rich1051414]

Mac requires licenses be bought before you can develop on their platform, leading to poor device compatibility because of greed. Mac gets away with it due to rabid fanboys supporting their platform.

[@MysticMaven]

Richard Smith wow you are pathetic

[@rich1051414]

No, I am a disgruntled programmer, who has been forced to not support MacOS due to the paywall. If you find that pathetic, so do I. However, the fanboys will be quick to blame it on stupid reasons like preference however. There is a saying "build it and they will come". Apple doesn't need to do this, because people will come regardless.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

I was just thinking of getting a new Dash Cam. Currently have a cheapo thing i got of ebay, and its quality is shocking. It would be as good as useless if i really needed it for evidence. This camera is great, so think im going to order it. Very impressed with the results in your review. 5 Star !.

[@kevinfrieden7929]

you should read childrens bedtime stories, your voice is so calming ;) also; love your work, keep it up :D

[@brightivan]

Yi have a bit of problem with their suction cup mounts, they get loose every now and then. Have two first edition and both starts to rattle after some time. Still can’t decide to go for this or Mijia for my third one.

[@davidhu213]

Bright Ivan No matter yi or mijia, they are from the same company.

[@brightivan]

David Hu to be fair the mount was least of my worries, it's just that idk should I spend extra on this yi or less on the mijia

[@emittl]

Love the content mate.

[@fezzes428]

Hard Days love your profile pic

[@1234abbeyroad]

Hey mate, I was on the Yi website and it said the highest capacity micro SD card it would take was 128GB. Keep the great videos coming!

[@Boemel]

Picking up my first ever brand new car Tuesday, thanks for the video im thinking about a dashcam.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

Don't new cars all have them built in already? Sucks to be a new car.

[@anew742]

Most new cars have backup cameras and many have blind spot cameras, but I don't think any come with dash cams

[@preciadoalex123]

anew742 imagine hacking those to a computer that uses them to record 24/7 just like a dash cam.

[@HB45175]

AFAIK only Citroën offer a built in dashcam. Everyone else _could_ if they wanted to, but as dashcams are illegal (yes, highly illogical) in some places manufacturers choose not to, should their customers drive their dashcam-enabled car into a country that doesn't allow them. That's not a problem for Citroën, being French they obviously don't care about other countries than France anyway.

[@andrewk8636]

Don't think twice. I got cut off by a guy road raging and he shut up as soon as I told him I have a dash cam. He had to pay my $500 deductible as well as his. Insurance wrote me a check for $627 within a week I had the whole thing done and I buffed out the damage. The dashcam more than paid for itself

[@cjsebes]

Love the English on the warning screen at 4:37 about formatting the card... "To optimize the performance of the memory card,it is recommanded that format the micro SD Card."

[@Mantzy_AUS]

I enjoy these videos. They remind me of my old neck of the woods around Edenbridge and Tunbridge Wells which is nice. Also remind me why I'm glad I moved to Australia too.

[@tomrhardwick]

I'm still using the SJ1000 you tested as a dashcam and over many cars and many years it's never put a foot wrong. You list the fact that this Yi has a battery as a negative, yet I've nothing but praise for dashcams with batteries as I've used it at my destination as a very good camcorder. Next, the distortion correction just looks like an image crop to me, so effectively you're losing resolution as well as field of view. Sure you want to do this? You can always do it in post. Great review though Mat, really detailed.

[@Rich77UK]

I have the old yo dashcam (the €20 Chinese version) and I couldn't be happier. Excellent camera.

[@thefearonloathing]

I’ve noticed you haven’t mentioned anything about environmental tolerances for this camera. Does it have a guideline in its instructions? Specifically I’m interested in max operational temperature as I live in the US and it gets up to high 30s and low 40s in the summer so it’d be even hotter inside the car if it’s parked in the sun, I just wonder how much that would affect the device?

[@theden0minat0r]

Another dash cam review!! YES! Love the action cam and dash cam reviews.

[@davideste1997]

Great video, as always. Any chance of a review of the latest front and rear view dashcam from Aukey? Also, with Christmas fast approaching, and with your love of retro, I am sure many of us of a certain age would love to see a video featuring all those ‘amazing’ products from K-Tel and Ronco?

[@monkeywithocd]

13:39 - Why are there squiggly lines on the road?

[@fourtwozero]

Drunk road painters..

[@Tarbard]

No parking next to pedestrian crossing (the lights are a pedestrian crossing)

[@ollieb9875]

Peter Gill no parking or stopping unless for the lights and no overtaking, this also means no filtering (lane splitting) for cycles (motor or pedal)

[@dwarf365]

Ollie B so it's like a double yellow line in the USA?

[@ollieb9875]

We too have double yellow where you're not allowed to park, if it is the same thing, though you are allowed to stop on double yellow to pick up / drop off passengers and unless other restrictions are posted even load / unload vehicles there. I believe disabled people can park on them for some period of time also. The zig-zag lines are more restrictive than double yellow.. it means absolutely do not stop or park there unless for the lights and don't ride your motorcycle or bicycle through the middle of two lane traffic, (we call that filtering) you have to stop and wait in-lane. The idea being there might be pedestrians crossing between the cars close to the junction that are unseen / occluded by traffic. There is a rule in the highway code that says you're not supposed to stop / park within 10 metres of a junction / turning. The traffic light could be thought of as a junction and the zig-zags are a formalisation of the rule and you will get some kind of penalty for parking on the zig-zags, double yellow you can normally stop briefly and maybe for longer given certain circumstances. There also exists a single yellow line also which really means you're not even supposed to stop there but again there might be times of day when it's ok.

[@russax1373]

Been looking at getting a dashcam. Thanks again for another in-depth review.

[@MrButtonpresser]

And thanks to your great review I bought an A119S (with the newer connection pins). Excellent unit! Thanks.

[@RawTopShot]

Although what you just said shortly before the 13 minutes negates a practical need for this; but since 1080 60 over exposes, please could you try that setting at night, then do a split screen comparison of it beside the regular full resolution footage?

[@titodbm]

Great review! I was planning on transferring my old dash cam to whatever new vehicle I get, but this has my attention. Not to mention my current camera is also getting old. Thanks for your detailed reviews and videos!

[@mbirth]

Have you tried adding a lens from one of those 3d glasses you get in cinemas in front of the camera as a DIY CPL filter? Also I'm currently looking for a dashcam for my rear window so it'd be interesting if you can still see the front license plate at night and if an IR blaster makes any difference.

[@zimmy1958]

I must say I love your videos and your speaking voice and narration is superb. thanks for sharing, from a long time subscriber.

[@silverstangs]

Thanks for the review, I wish we could manually adjust the amount of time per file.

[@btk1]

There's a deal on Amazon at the moment for these, they're £15 off but there's an additional Prime offer of another £28 off. I picked one up for £61.99 yesterday and really wish I'd grabbed a couple more of them. Same link as in the description.

[@me3333]

I don't know if this makes me a weirdo or whatever but I always watch all of the outro on your videos because I kind of dig the music and like seeing all the different devices you have reviewed.

[@dashcamandy2242]

One thing to note about some dashcams... I have a Mini 806, which works fairly well after nearly two years, but for a few annoying quibbles: the GPS takes ages to lock upon powerup, if it locks at all, unless the GPS mount is powered up and THEN the camera is slid into the mount, then it always locks on. Also, the file lock feature DOES NOT work (neither by manual button press nor G-Sensor activation). Loop recording is a bit of a misnomer because it deletes files randomly, not in order of oldest to newest. 1080p/30 still does not support image rotation (camera mounted upside-down with proper menu item set) and 1080p/45 appends 7 minutes of still frame at the end of each 3-minute file. Multiple firmware updates have not fixed the problem, despite what the company's representatives claim. It does, however, still do its job quite nicely despite those issues. The battery, as expected, has gone down the loo after a few years in a temperate climate and after six months of use, failed to hold a charge. I have relegated the Mini to rear camera duties now, and happily use the Viofo A119S for my front cam. It works wonderfully well, GPS locks within 10 seconds of boot, and with the capacitor instead of a battery, I expect it to last quite some time. (Only have two months' use so far.) The 1080p/60 is smooth as silk, the LOCK button does what it should; however, it comes with the same style car adapter shown here, and it simply does not have the amperage output to boot the camera. So I have the cord plugged into the Mini's car adapter (which has that useful USB port on it) until I can get around to hardwiring. Both cameras can only handle Daylight Savings Time by changing time zones. Both cameras I have purchased after watching your thorough reviews of these models, and I want to thank you for the time you spent reviewing them and making the video files available for download for us to review without YT's compression algorithm. It really helps a great deal, as it helps us be informed consumers!

[@Wildmutationblu]

I love watching your dashcam review. The reason is just to see where you have been driving. I can see you were in Skem and then Upholland. My mother used to live in a close called the Dell in a nursing home which you just passed before showing the Upholland footage. You should have turned left at the mimi roundabout and shot some footage near Beacon Country Park and Golf Club.

[@Techmoan]

That footage is from the Mrs commuting.

[@PaulsRoadshow]

Purchased this CAM, it does work very well but I've noticed a few skipped video frames i.e. the video motion has some very slight jerks like it's converting from different frame rates?

[@mistakay9019]

Been in a Racing model Toyota Celica before, with full race suspension and race tyres, Also done my "time" in a cooper S and the ride was WORSE! The run flat tires on it make it way more uncomfortable than it should be! However that said, the coopers are still loads of fun, irregardless of the pending spine trouble! That camera for the cost is amazing, My potato internet can't handle the 4k stream, however even on the 1080 stream the colour and clarity is amazing. Will be purchasing. Cheers Mat.

[@W-tone]

I was wondering if you still had the roadster. Good to see it's still going strong.

[@drownproofer]

I took your advice and bought "G1W - The Best (Insanely Cheap) 1080p Dash Cam" and it's still giving sterling service after all these years.

[@tybrady64]

I bought one off Amazon a few days ago. I did not get the vacuum mount, memory card or plastic thing to squeeze in the cord. I do like the camera very much.

[@mickstephenson]

What happens if you format the card to FAT32 with 64kb allocation size using OSX, and then use the card on the Yi dash cam?

[@JaredReabow]

I don't understand why you want a bigger than 16gb card if it comes with one. Generally, you only need a card that can record 8hrs which is potentially a week of driving depending on what you do. if you are in an incident you would remove the card for safekeeping or lock the file anyway. As such going out of the way to purchase an additional card seems somewhat pointless. I cannot think of more than 1 situation where you would want a longer recording time and that would be if you forgot something happened which beggs the question if it really was that important.

[@rallyboyd7151]

Thanks for the review! I’m looking for dash cams for my vehicles and you explained everything well.

[@madmax01992]

cheers for this review, I was in the market of getting a dashcam of some sort. I've been keeping my eye on this, and today it was in a flash deal, got it for £64 :D

[@DayVB007]

You filmed in my old town Skelmersdale, at the beginning of your film. Glad I left, 😁.

[@ascott7321]

Got this camera 8 months ago. I'm quite satisfied with it as I got it at a special offer price. Video quality is not near the best though. 1080p60 does not look like 60fps and is quite choppy whereas just about any other dash cam with this recording mode looks completely smooth. Also, much of the time, the recorded scenery looks quite blurry.

[@gunhed76]

Techmoan you can use that sd card, you gotta format it to Mac OSX under disk utility, I hope this helps!

[@reeffeeder]

I have the a119s and this seems like a viable upgrade option. WiFi is a good addition. Thanks for the detailed review.

[@GroovyVideo2]

Video does look very clear- Glad you made a new dash cam vid

[@aschwinwesselius]

8:34 (Off topic) Is it normal in the UK to have pedestrians wandering at roundabouts with their kid in a stroller?

[@1blisslife]

Techmoan I hope you can review one of those 4 channel mobile dvrs.... Something that records all angles.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

That camera handles the sun a lot better than the cheap-o one I currently use. I've added it to my 'possible eventual purchases' list. For the sake of clarity, I'll add that my current camera, when facing the sun, shows a black disk where the sun is, and the rest of the image washes out badly. But considering it was $15 for a 1080p camera which does OK most of the rest of the time, I'd say it's decent for the money.

[@olik136]

well this is not a japanese audio device from the 60s

[@maicod]

watch this vid in 2070 and you have the same effect

[@RoqueSantosJunior]

BTW Techmoan your videos are rock solid. Thank you for this review. I'm buying one as soon as praticable and switching my A119.

[@JMLRetroRoom]

Speaking of SD cards, if you have a Best Buy in your area I suggest you pick up some of their 128gb Sandisk Micro SD Cards. They’re $29.99 right now. It’s not 4K compatible but it’s the A1, UHS-1 Class 10 with speeds up to 100MB/s. Regular price is $161.99. Not sure if it’s online only.

[@fixingfuturememories]

How about a system that uses multiple cameras (Forward, Behind and cabin) that record to a common place. Kind of like a multiple system. Does one exist at a reasonable cost?

[@VRMS_VRMS_VRMS]

I've found with a lot of these types of devices, 60fps isn't really achievable even if it's what is being recorded, because the effective shutter speed doesnt stay faster than the necessary 1/60s due to the amount of light required. It might also be the case that the overexposure in 60p mode on this one is due to compensation for that too.

[@TheGoodDoctor453]

So it turns out techmoan drives by my home on dash cam review videos !

[@raymondgascoyne7545]

Hi, I've just installed a Thinkware F770 in my car. The videos record in one minute clips. When played back on my PC there is a distinct black frame between each clip. Is there a way of eradicating the black frames to make the videos seamless; as yours are? By the way; Love your videos; they have been very helpful!...........Ray

[@maximkhasiev]

First of, great review! Thanks a lot! The thing I wanted to ask you is, this little new Yi is quite similar to DDpai M6 Plus price wise. Which one of these 2 would you prefer? Or is there a third option?

[@glennmacdonald4897]

Excellent review. Went and bought one of these on the strength of it. Nice, well made dash cam. Thanks

[@benh.635]

What filesystem does the camera format the card with where Windows can read it, but Mac OS cannot? Even NTFS is readable by Mac OS, you just cannot write to NTFS volumes.

[@phischtv4497]

Yay! A Roadster :) Any way: I look for a cam which has proper quality but also has a second cam for the rear-window in Roadster-Coupe. Any idea what would be a cam for a reasonable price? The only one "black box" thing with 2 tiny cams seems to get faulty just after weeks. :/

[@AstroFazersPlaylist]

I'm looking for some discrete dual cam, like "Koonlung K1S" (I had this one but it was just crap, but had smart discrete construction which I liked). Most dash cams manufactures seems to put at there main point of honour to display their huge cameras on the windscreen, I'm always afraid that this is just an invitation for thefts. Since I was hit by other driver in the back of my car and my small mobius was recording only front so did not help at all, I feel need to have dual cam which is also "stealth".

[@terribletelevision6980]

Just bought one of these and it seems good so far. Have we figured out what the plastic stick in the box is for?

[@vanderhoof5701]

Thankyou very much for the review! 👍 Can the display be made to stay on the entire time while recording?

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

This is a nice detailed review. Thanks! I wonder if the problem with MacOS is with the capacity of the SD card. I wonder if macOS would be able to read from the 16-gig card that came with the camera, for instance.

[@acidreign0911]

what do the zig-zag white lines at intersections indicate. i've seen this on a few videos and am curious.

[@CJT80]

Mat a fantastic video... now very tempted to get one of these... Did you feedback anything to YI about the issues you found? Just wondered.

[@Techmoan]

They’ve been in touch after watching the video and are feeding the information back to the engineering team.

[@icebreakertech]

Was waiting for this, thanks :D The mount really lets the camera down and it's a shame they don't include a cable to attach directly to the cars electrical system. But for the price it's a great camera.

[@vintage1947Cyclists]

Thank you for the review. Just bought one of these, to replace my elderly Mobius camera. Very impressed so far, exactly as you describe, simple, no frills camera, with very good quality video. I also purchased a 64GB SDHC Card (Samsung Evo), to use in place of the supplied 16Gb Card. My MacBook Pro recognises the 64GB SDHC card and reads it, no problem, so, perhaps, problem has been resolved?

[@jessewarford76]

thanks for another dashcam review! yes, it's been a long time. I really enjoy them. I've purchased several for my wife and I, and most have been after watching your reviews. The last I purchased was the round one with the sony sensor. And it had a very wide FOV, 170 deg I believe, and as you stated in your review, things that happen right in front of you look like they're way out in front of you. This review didn't mention anything about that phenomenon, so one might assume it shows a more realistic distance, but the fish-eye correction makes me wonder. Can you give me your thoughts on that issue with this camera? I'd really like a great camera that shows incidents "as-is". Thanks a million!!!

techmoan, while i was looking at this cam on amazon, I ran across another dashcam, www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0OJMYG/ the street guardian SG9665GC v3 2017 edition, and it looks phenomenal! it has a sony sensor and glass, metal body, super capacitor, wdr, great vid quality, and 120 deg fov, which will suit me perfectly i believe. I'd love to see this cam reviewed by you!

Great review and the Yi Ultra seems like a pretty good dash cam. I wonder if the Yi has a better video quality than the mobius action camera.

Are you still using DDPAI M6 Plus ? What can you say about its reliability after all this time using it?

[@Techmoan]

It's worked fine for me, I've had no problems. People using the Android app have reported problems, but the OSX app hasn't given me any issues.

I missed your dash cam videos!

[@Waremonger]

As always, a great video. I don't suppose you would consider reviewing the Vantrue X3 Dash Cam?

So newer model doesnt have ADAS? How good it was in previous model, that they decided not to include it now?
