I wanted to order from them, but could not find a feedback by anyone here or in the friends' circle. But I am sure being one of the leading online stores globally, they must be really good if not better than Ali.

There is a minimum order quantity on Alibaba hence cheaper, if you want to buy in bulk then you can go ahead with purchase on Alibaba, Also there is no free shipping on Alibaba so listing prices is not always what you will pay for at the end of checkout. Aliexpress is no doubt gotten costlier this year, now it seems like its more likely that you will find items cheaper here locally than on AliExpress.
Also I've looked it up & found that Alibaba only has the older version of A119 & not the v2 with improved GPS / power connections (Different connectors in the pics). there are currently 3 models of the Vivofo A119 namely the A119, A119s & A119 v2 . The original A119 is available around the price range you quoted on AliExpress.

I am talking about single unit order and V2 variants with all the bells and whistles. I still have my order open with them, shipping is charged extra only when you want delivery in 7 days. All that put together was just $95 for me last month, although I went ahead with AliExpress due to its familiarity here and I am waiting since 18 days

Receieved A119 today. Ordered it on 11th November, so it took around 19 days, decent delivery times. I have also ordered CPL filter,wanted to check if the filter is really required?
I am excited to use it for the first time.

If anyone needs any info on the product, please let me know.

I received the Junsun S30 and it looks decent for the price. The plastic finish is slightly rough but the device looks sturdy. It doesn't come with a suction mount, so I have to stick it to the windshield. The charger cable is not the same as the ones we use on smartphones these days, so you might face an issue if you lose/bend it. It is available in the local mobile shops though.
I think this is one of the best models available for the price and will last long. It has parking monitoring too because the battery keeps the device on standby and activates it if it observes something moving within 5 meters of the field of view. I will post a good review with the video quality later. The best thing I like about this is the absence of the LCD screen. It makes more sense to have a discreet camera which people cannot notice easily than to have one with a large LCD screen that doesn't serve any purpose while recording.

Looks good. Can you post pictures of actual device?
I had ordered mine on 11.11 sale and am yet to receive it. The status has not changed for the past 10days or so. Not sure where exactly it is right now.

Recd the Yi Dashcam yday 19 days after ordering from Ali Express. No Customs paid, simple and fair delivery. The unit costed rs 2900/- Unboxed the same and contents are as per description. Pics as below. There is no suction cup mount but a fixed 3M tape mount. The length of power cable looks OK, did not find actual dimension mentioned on the box. Am yet to power up the device as recd it late in the evening. Also yet to order the Micro Sd card.

Can you confirm if you have used any of the below MicroSd cards? Which one would you suggest? Need to order today.

I have all of them listed by you in multiple devices, so far no issues. But lot of dashcam forums suggest avoiding SanDisk ultra variant, although I have the same 64GB in my SJCam working flawlessly. So, go ahead and pick any for your gear, it will work perfect.

But I would spend for a premium card if my dashcam is as advanced as a Thinkware, Lukas, blackvue750 or Garmin55 just like how you would not put a 500 rupees cover on a 50,000 rupees leather seat

So finally ordered DDPAI m6 plus from Ali Express. It was 124$ with hard wire kit from official DDPAI store. Couldn't wait for better deals, hope its not that bad a price.
So, how much customs should I expect? Should I mention anything to the seller before he ships so that it helps in customs? i.e. to show reduced price etc?
Thanks in advance

Guys,

What is your opinion about Rove dashcam https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TRA5Q584&psc=1

Coming to about 11k INR with customs and shipping.

Received my Viofo A119S yesterday from AliExpress, ordered on 11/11.
Got the camera+ GPS kit + hardwiring kit + cpl filter.

Did not get a chance to dig deep except connecting the camera briefly to my computer to check that it is powering up.

Shall check details and possibly install over the weekend, with possible hardwiring in the next weekend.

What is the main difference between A119S and A119 V2?

What I picked from various reddit/forums is that the a119/v2 has a wider angle lens than a119s, and maybe the a119s with it's Sony sensor has an edge during night driving.
A119 varies from a119v2 by virtue of having different GPS mounts.

P.s - also the a119 lens swivels left-right, the a119s one doesn't.

I ordered the same and am awaiting delivery. Did you have to pay custom duty on this ? Let me know where you get it fixed from ?

No custom duty was needed.
I shall try a diy fitting - first a temporary one using the 12v socket, then a permanent hardwiring using the kit from internal fusebox.
