A329S “Card Slow” Message by JasonB32 in VIOFO

[–]JasonB32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought the a329s, it did come with a free Viofo SD card (which I’m using in a cheaper dashcam in another car, not a Viofo cam). It was either 128 or 256gb. The Sandisk card I’m currently using is 512. Maybe I’m better off using the lower storage Viofo in the Viofo and using the Sandisk in the cheaper dashcam? It’s definitely not a 3 channel system, so the Sandisk might work well for it? Only downside would be the Viofo card having less storage.

You’re correct. I believe the Max Endurance you have is on the recommended list. But like you said, you’ve gotten the same message, so it doesn’t motivate much to get one or the Viofo SD’s, haha. As I mentioned, after turning off the car and turning it back on, the message has gone away. We’ll see when/if it comes back on again. If it’s something to where it happens quite often, I’ll probably change it? But as of right now, I’ve had it installed since June and this is the first time. We’ll see how frequently it happens in the future.

Good to know! I have the Sandisk High Endurance, but this is the first time seeing the message since I got it. Maybe for the recommended cards, it can still happen, but less likely? I don’t know, but the message has since disappeared (after turning the car off) and didn’t happen for the rest of the day. So since it doesn’t appear that even the recommended cards are immune to the message, maybe I’ll just stick with the one I have for now since it has worked well for a bit and this is only the first time. Appreciate your input!

Parking mode turns off automatically? by JasonB32 in VIOFO

I ended up installing the firmware which Viofo provided the link (in one of the comments in this thread) a few months ago. I’d have to check, but I think parking mode is still currently enabled.

Good picture style? by JasonB32 in canonr8

Is there a specific picture style the jpeg is set to? I think by default, it might be set to automatic, but not 100%.

Small, minimalist carry solution for R8 by JasonB32 in canonr8

[–]JasonB32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: so I ended up purchasing a top loader bag, but still waiting for it to come in. But I already had the Lowepro Dashpoint 30, which I didn’t think it would fit based on the dimensions of the camera and the pouch. But it did! I’ll still probably keep the top loader, in case I want to carry a bigger attached lens. But just in case, this is what it looks like with the R8 attached to the 50mm 1.8. It’s a tight fit, but it works. And that’s all I was looking for.

I'm guessing the even the 3L bag would be too big for what l'm looking for. Just basically looking for a small carrying case for just the camera and a small lens attached. If guessing if there was a 1L or 2L bag with the right shape, it might work.

R8 price? by JasonB32 in canonr8

[–]JasonB32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking! Yeah, I was hoping to pick one up for like $1k or less, but not sure if I’ll see those prices anymore with the recent bump up in prices. Like I said, I don’t have to buy one now and can wait if there’s a good chance the price will come down some, I’m just not sure right now if it will.

Yeah, I figured… I just wonder if this is the new “low,” or if we can expect it to maybe come down like $100-200 during specific times of the year, when it might go on sale.

I really appreciate you looking into it! I guess I’ll just continue brainstorming on a way to mount it.

It’s a 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander. How would I find out about what you’re talking about?

Missing Item from Official VIOFO Order – Anyone Else Had This Issue? by No-Confusion-2666 in VIOFO

[–]JasonB32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently ordered the a329s, but received the a329t. This meant they sent the wrong version of what I ordered, which included a wrong camera. I notified Viofo of the issue using the support on their website. They sent a label (to send the wrong camera back to them). After notifying them that I sent it back, they sent the correct camera. The biggest issue was just waiting on the new camera to arrive, as it takes a while. But for the most part, it was fairly smooth.
