    You are correct about the need to have a dashcam. I was in a minor fender bender last week. The police officer asked the other driver what happened, and they were liberal with the truth. I just showed the dashcam, and the other driver was cited. The best dashcam is the one in your car!
  • @MojoPup
    You need to teach courses on how to make 'Review Videos'. Clear concise and complete information, you talk at a good speed, the demonstrations are pertinent, and your Link/Indexing is perfect. Great video, just what I needed. Thank You.
  • @DomDollx
    Amazing links description and I didn't even get to watch the video, very useful and cuts down on time to sift thru the video. Thanks
  • @EnglishRain
    Love your video style: timestamps, summarization at end. Keep it up!
  • @deman601
    I really appreciate your time and effort for the videos! You give great reviews and I have been very happy with everything i have researched and ultimately bought!!
  • @daviddiehl8523
    I've been using the 139pro front & rear since Feb 2021 and haven't had any problems with it. The review here is spot on.
  • @NSFWHarold
    The BOX unit is almost exactly what I have been waiting for. If only it could do 4k front. I like the idea of securing the main brain separately from the camera heads. This also let's me keep the brain out of direct sun, which here in Las Vegas is a highly desirable feature.
  • @ekr6
    Installed a Viofo A139 Pro 3 CH for my dad suv a couple weeks ago. That thing is a beast. The quality is so good.
  • @zyzyz133
    Great quality review! Super helpful for dash cam shopping
  • @Xaqaria
    6:01 This is this first time your videos have crossed my feed. While watching I started recognizing the general environment and then several of the local highways. I live above the Costco at the South end of the highway at that time marker. Howdy neighbor! I already own a couple A119 v3s, so I'll keep your channel in mind the next time I'm upgrading. ✌️
  • @rmp5s
    Will definitely be keeping an eye out for more info on that U3000... I REALLY wish the Blackvue box one's video didn't suck so bad.
  • @tommyknockers_8608
    I kept waiting for your windshield to crack when you were hitting it :) I drive those same roads in mill creek, 405 and highway 9 going into Snohomish and know all the trucks and traffic that kick up rocks to chip my windshield. Besides that I think you sold me on the Viofo 139.. been looking at it but have been on the fence. You're review was solid and gave other options if I was looking for my dashcam to do extra things. The Viofo is in the upper end but not the top and with the new Sony starvis 2 sensor for me it's the best option.
  • @safelysound
    Love these videos. Also in Washington so It was cool seeing you drive in similar areas I've been around 👍
  • I'm going to be honest, I'm really waiting for that review on the thinkware u3000. Already have the u1000 in one of my cars and I love it, and I almost got the new a139 pro for another car until you released that teaser clip for the u3000. Now I got to wait for your review. Don't worry, notifications are turned on LOL.
  • @HiSteOfMnd
    The multiple reviews you did with the A139 Pro pretty much sealed it for me when getting my first dash cam. Ended up getting the 2CH from their main website. Really appreciate it too with the discount code 🤙🏽.
  • @WFO.
    Excellent review. Thank you
  • @derwinjax
    Very well done video. Been looking for a well thought out, tested, and explained video. Thank you
