@medz I’m thinking if the lens is facing up, you can see 360 around both front and back. But if it’s facing forward, you get 180 degrees in front of you but nothing behind the lens.
The one thing I saw I wanted, and paid membership for, to get an oops these are selling fast error and then sold out. I kinda don’t want the membership then, which sucks.
Edit: I’m not sure if I was too fast to complain like a baby or not. My order history says I “placed” an order that I never was able to place without erroring, which I suppose could be cancelled but I’ll hold out hope.
@OnionSoup I added an edit above, I wasn’t actually able to place the order but my account says I did, so I’ll hope for the best. I’ve been in the market for a dash cam and at this price it’s worth a try. Unless they sell me a Switch under a fat benjamin not sure what else I’d buy though, besides the most mediocre waste of money they sell.
If you find yourself straddling the fence, protect yourelf by completing the jump. (Buy it.)
Then research it… and in the (likely) chance it is a piece of crap, cancel the order. You have 60 minutes to do so by going to the order in your account.
@jcdunn
I will say that if you’re needing a dash cam, probably don’t go for these cheapo models. I went with a budget one on amazon that was reviewed highly on there and dash cam review sites, but the image quality was merely acceptable. If I were involved in a collision, it might be difficult to make out the license plate. So I am on the lookout for a better one

Thanks, Botnik!
“But the announcement runs on four regular old aa batteries.”
360 or 180? It shows both, @mediocrebot.
@medz I’m thinking if the lens is facing up, you can see 360 around both front and back. But if it’s facing forward, you get 180 degrees in front of you but nothing behind the lens.
@cengland0 Cool. Imma put in it my wife’s ride in forward facing 180 degree mode for dash cam.
Is it safe to say that this doesnt float? Not ideal for my kayak?
got me!

@Tiamat114 I’m sure customer service will reimburse you if you haven’t yet made a purchase with it.
There again… Stick around, during a mehrathon you never know what they might sell…
The only think guaranteed is it won’t be popsockets.

Darn it. I was just about to go back and buy.
…and that’s what I get for doing my research. A bag of nothing with no bag.
@james_hardiman exactly how I feel at this moment
@james_hardiman #metoo
@james_hardiman buy first, ask questions later.
@james_hardiman Yeah, missed for same reason

Uh, no.
Aw crap…

@mehcuda67 @mediocrebot being mediocrebot and giphy being giphy.
Who dropped the ball and made only 98 available instead of 360?
@SweetBro Said 100 earlier, now it’s down to 97. I guess cancellations. Hey @medicorebot Lemme buy one of those
I got one just for my motorcycle. I have a Samsung Gear 360 but I worry about it being stolen. I won’t have that problem with this one.
$65-$70 pretty much everywhere…
@andrewkl so what you’re saying is that $19 is still a good deal?
@andrewkl @RiotDemon You bet your volmod ass it is!
It’s 180 degree field day of view. I’m guessing that’s why they are discounted everywhere. The 360 in the name seems a bit misleading.
0 reviews on Amazon. Other “action” cams made by Vivitar have real shit reviews… But then again, sold out so it doesn’t matter!
@thechilipepper0 I like my first hit on YouTube that was titled “Worst Action Cam Ever.”
@thechilipepper0
Maybe I dodged a bullet then by missing out…
Wife and i were just talking about needing dash cams… oh well.

Why do they allow multiple purchases on these items that are in low supply but limit other things??
Love, meh…just venting. lol
@jcdunn mediocrebot favors the swift
@jcdunn because Meh (mediocrebot) knows something we don’t.

KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
Doing dong it meh needed one. DM me if available later?
@AmazingChicken ???
@AmazingChicken @RiotDemon If this comes up again, somebody is supposed to whisper them.
@AmazingChicken @medz I understood the second half, not the first.
@AmazingChicken @RiotDemon probably an auto correct/swipe error. “Doing dong it” was probably “gosh darn it”, “god damn it”, etc…
only 96 items … not cool Meh … not cool
