@Redtiger posted a few weeks ago asking for volunteers to review their F17 Elite dash cam.
I didn’t volunteer because I have the FitCamX, which is virtually invisible, and I’m short on time.

A few weeks later, they contacted me and asked if I’d review it.
I eventually accepted and will start testing it this weekend, after a brief delay due to family reasons.

Let me know if you have any questions or want me to test something specific.
I’ll update this post as the review progresses.

I'd be interested in installation experience - how tricky is the wiring etc; comparison to the fitcam.
Also features/ease of use and quality compared to the fitcam - and is there enough there to induce you away from the invisible install of the fitcam.

Do you have a rear camera with the fitcam? The rear is the the biggest issue for me when it needs a long cable threaded under trim. Why the guys don't do wireless chatting between front and rear cams, I don't know! I know that with the latest 4K/4K flavors there's a lot of data going back and forth, but wireless is advanced enough now to deal with that.

I have the Porsche dashcam due to inherent laziness - throw $ at Porsche and a camera happens - but I'm unimpressed with it's usability and malfunctioning app.
I was very tempted to get a Redtiger F77 in their recent sale because it was so cheap that it was almost worth getting just to play with and compare. But I've spent too much money lately so I managed to hold back!

I look forward to your comments
