Cool thanks. Are you able to use this as a rear cam? Guessing you'll need to mount it in the middle of the rear windscreen

I got a 32gb class 10 Transcend for a dashcam three years ago, just the normal all black one, still working fine too.
I believe nand flash is usually rated for about 100,000 write cycles, so if you drove enough to fill the card once a day that should manage about 273 years. Although realistically due to file tables etc, it will fail a lot sooner than that.

You can mount this anywhere as long as you can plug the lead into the cigar lighter for power

Currently 41% off this dash cam. This is the newer model with a capacitor rather than a battery. Much better technology in my opinion, usually found in high end models. Renowned model, great reviews. Full details here - dashboardcamerareviews.com/g1w…08/

You can get these at eBay UK for cheaper. Unbranded G1Ws.

I've used them many many times but mostly for items cheaper than £50 and they're absolutely fine.
Delivery takes around 2-3 weeks.
As far as I know, anything more than £18 and you'll be stung by customs and VAT. Obviously this is not GearBest's issue but worth mentioning. That being said, I've ordered items worth £30 and even £40 sometimes and didn't have to pay customs or VAT.

I've done a lot of orders from GearBest over the last 12 months and I've never paid import tax on anything! I find as long as you don't mind waiting, go for the free shipping and it somehow 'sails' right passed customs... As soon as you get desperate and go for DHL/UPS etc that's when you get stung, guaranteed.
Few phones, tablet stuff over £100 sometimes too... They tend to just mark the packages as much lower values which is obviously where it escapes VAT... They've been very good in the past too when stuff goes missing en route, they just send another out! (Must be enough profit in it all for them to not really care...)

Not genuine chips, look around on web. For sake of £5-£10 might as well buy from genuine source

2 G1W's side-by side. For the sake of an extra £5 get it from E-Prance.
