The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Cobra CDR-840 Dash cam at Cosco for the price of a Mobius Action cam... somebody buy one and do a review

I had a dash cam on my SUV. It didn't stop it from being hit, dang it. Still, it was great to have it as a backup for anything that might happen. It had instant playback, so I could show it to the police. However, the 8gb card that comes with it was way too small. I bought a 32 gb card. As far as installing it on the bike, well the PCX is too small to allow stable recording. The Forza may or may not be more stable. It would depend on where you could install it, where it would not pick up all of the road vibration.

My best friend has one of these in his Honda SUV. He's recorded all sorts of great things with it. He has it set to 10 minute repeating, and has a 16gb card.

Tells me its the best thing he ever bought for his car.

I know these things are pretty much standard equipment in other countries but Americans will catch up and I think its a good thing. I want idiot drivers on tape from all directions and commercials like these are running on TV lately and its about time I don't ride without mine documenting every thing in front of me.

Holiday gift perhaps?
Yah homie, I held that Cobra cam in Costco wondering how good it would be. Almost bought it, but put it back down. I thought I should do some research first.
So I came across this website http://dashboardcamerareviews.com and bookmarked it. I didn't see this Cobra but there are many others listed.

Me wants an affordable cam for scoot. Eventually, I'd like to set a cam in the front and rear of my truck too Modone-a-mia!! New Yawker's!! Just too many vehicles! It seems we're running out of roads.

I bet that one for 39.95 is a real winner but at least the idea is getting some exposure recently. Some ne'er-do-well stole my gas cap off my truck, not that a dash cam would have activated and caught anything from the side but I like to imagine I saw it

Bummer! Frigin' irresponsible gas cap thief!
The scene: He filled up at station, left his behind. Helped himself to yours. I had one stolen years back. Devil roams, but why take a gas cap? Leave yer portal open, afterall fire shouldn't rock His world

I vote Camera anyway.

Looks pretty good - how is it powered?
