Just upgraded my dash cam to a Mini 0806 (with GPS and a polarising lens filter). Seems to be a great unit and is very subtle when installed.

Prices of these have come down a good bit recently so was able pick on up for £71 delivered and delivery only took a week from China.

I was looking at one of those 0806's also as I really need to upgrade to a better unit.

Here is the link for anyone else interested.

You need to be careful when buying one of these as there are various options and packages available. This is the one I've ordered (and received) :

EYOYO 0806 Ambarella A7LA50 HD 1296P Car Dash Cam/GPS W/Extra CPL+OBD Hard Wire

As stated it has the optional GPS, CPL filter and hard wire kit. Was bought from eBay for £5 less than the one linked to on Aliexpress. You can get a basic one for around £55 with none of the options.

Thanks. Usually Ali Express is the place to buy this type of thing cheaper if you dont mind waiting on it. Not in this case obviously. Ive been looking at cheap Sat Navs and they are also cheaper on Ebay than Ali Express.

Edit - @Paddy_R is the OBD hardwire kit permanent power?

I was thinking of wiring directly to the fuse box with these so it comes on with ignition only.

I'm not sure about the OBD kit if its permanent power or not to be honest. I've used the 12v socket to power it.

It should be noted that the 12v plug also has a USB socket so you can still charge a phone etc when the camera is plugged in.

Done that a few times on the pushbike, lol :innocent:

Roads get so greasy in the wet in winter. Brave man to get out on a motorbike at this time of year!

He's lucky he had all the proper clothing on or it could have been a lot worse as his trousers etc even ripped a bit.

Well, when it happens on the pushbike it usually means ripped trousers and bloody knees/hips/elbows :worried: The road might be slippery when riding, but when you hit the ground it is anything but!

I have mine set so speed isn't recorded on screen, it can be pulled from the GPS data tho but you need the video files + camera log files to get it. I don't speed often but I'd be lying if I said I didn't put my foot down at times so thought it was better not there :grinning:

Speed can easily be calculated taking distance from roadside objects vs time anyway.

So if they wanted to find out what speed, it wouldnt be that difficult.

And police do have the right to access cameras, phones, etc., if you did have an accident for example. Pretty sure they could even if they just stopped you on the road as well, if they want to.

But easy enough to turn the camera off if needed I suppose :grinning: Would take a special kind of eejit to film themselves being stupid anyway.
