Blackvue Drive Recorders - Group Buy - LIST NOW CLOSED.

[bmhill]

you could of course use this http://www.blackvuehd.co.uk/Power_Magic_Pro.php

this allows you to have the camera on while parked up and monitor anything that comes near it

[Gizmo]

Richard, there are a few guys on the TT forum who expressed an interest in a GB on the Blackvue.

[BossFox]

I am a member over there, plus I'm also a member on the GTR forum where some interest was shown.

But I'm only doing the GB here because I don't want to over complicate it, over several forums it starts to eat up a lot of time and easy to balls something up.

Plus I'm a Skoda fan at heart, so this place is my default home.

Feel free to point them in this direction.

They can always register to buy here, but anyone not sending a deposit by the 15th Dec will be left off when ordering.

I'll send out payment info a week before for anyone that has not PM'd me in the meantime.

As per the first post, deposit is £30 per unit.

[Gizmo]

No problem, I have started a thread over there linked back to this one.

1. BossFox 380 x 8

2. vRS19TD - 300 x 1

3. dbg400 - 400 x 1

4. devonutopia - 300 x 1

5. Kev @ Jabba - 300 x 1

6. MartynVRS - 400 x 1

7. Fitz323 - 400 x 1

8. V6TDI - 400 x 1

9. j0hn - 380 x 1

I assume if deposit is required by 15th Dec, I have until then to make up my mind whether I want a 380 or a 400 (the 380 spec looks plenty good enough).

[BossFox]

Yes, I'll take the final list at 12 noon on the 15th December, remove everyone that has not paid £30 per unit and order them.

Does anyone know if the 300 will take a bigger card even though it comes with a 4gb card,

I will use this for rear facing as it is a lot smaller than the Road Hawk I have in the front.

[BossFox]

8gb max in the 300 in my experience.

[MartynVRS]

So this records continuously and overwrites if you don't need the footage?

[BossFox]

Yes, it records on a loop. Once the card is full it overwrites the oldest files.

[devonutopia]

I would think an 8gb card in a 300 will last as long as a 32gb card in a 400, as the data being written to the card is significantly less - probably about 25% of that in HD?

You have a pm ref payment to yourself for the deposit & balance due, as i cannot see how you want the monies ?

I'm just answering now... I was on the tablet last night when you sent it and as it's a bit naff I can't copy and paste on it.

[NoSmokeNoPoke]

8gb max in the 300 in my experience.

According to this site, 16gb can be used in the 300: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/blackvue-dr300.html

Does anyone have experience with the 300? Is it much cop at night? Will it still stand up OK for the police to use as evidence etc?

I should probably spend more time 'googling' myself, but what would i lose apart from HD by going for a 300?

Many thanks

[devonutopia]

Gain £100 in your pocket.

[NoSmokeNoPoke]

Haha - Very true! Im going to go for one i think, i just need the key points, um, pointing out! A quick youtube shows the 300 being quite bad at night really, but this is Youtube, which compresses everything. Anyone used both/seen both to compare?

[NoSmokeNoPoke]

Oh, and the difference between the 380 and 400 is 720p compared to 1080p?? (apart from the obvious card size)

[M12MKD]

Unless I've missed it. What is the payment score? Direct to you or direct to supplier

[BossFox]

Deposit of £30 to me.

I then order them mid December.

You then pay the balance owed and the unit arrives within the week.

[missingmyvrs]

sorry got to pull out the other half has told me im not to buy this ( think i may know what im getting for crimbo lol)

[SimonJ]

I'm interested in a 300 but will be abroad from the 12th Dec till the 3rd Jan, if I pay in full before I go would you be able to post out the first week of Jan as no one will be at home to receive it before then?
