Purchased the Gitup Git2P 170 action camera from Amazon.
Comes with a 30m waterproof case and several mounts including a handle bar mount. Also picked up a suction mount for it.
It comes with one 1000mah rechargeable battery, but also can be connected to a usb charger.
Here is the first driving test. Used Garmin Virb editor and myTracks app to overlay GPS data.
Has settings for dash cam, Auto-start on power, loop recording. Also gyro stabilization.

Re: Dash Cam
I figured the Gitup Git2 was a good deal in that it is a action cam that comes with many attachments and a waterproof case as well. Watched several videos comparing it with the GoPro and it does quite well at a 3rd the price.
I would just be weary of leaving a camera in the car due to smash & grab.
Also with the Texas heat a camera with a battery would not last long. The higher end cameras use capacitors instead of batteries for this reason.
Here is a sight I have been doing some reading on.

Re: Dash Cam
A few options I've noticed in researching cams:
Loop Recording - camera will fill memory card then start over-writing old recordings automatically.
Capacitors- many have capacitors instead of batteries for heat. Batteries don't stand up to being in a hot car very long. Sounds like only having power to shut down is a capacitor.
Motion detection or Parking Mode - will record when motion is detected for parking lot hit and runs.
I would not be comfortable leaving even the mount visible in the vehicle. I have seen people get their window smashed for a GPS mount left on the windshield.

Dash Cam
Been thinking about getting a dash cam lately with all the bad drivers and road rage going on. Seens to be getting worse and worse.
Wanting one that has good video quality and can be turned to point out the side windows. Don't want to spend a bunch on it, but know you get what you pay for especially with electronics and cameras.
Been looking at the GitUp Git2P action camera, figured it can be used in a car or mounted on a bike as well. Has decent reviews and from watching videos in YouTube looks pretty good.
Anybody else have any additional recommendations in its price range?
$120 on Amazon.
