Ok. I am no dash cam expert. But, well, they are not all displayed with that fisheye look, right? I mean, the Garmin seems to be advertising this "wide angle" feature, and you are not going to get a wider angle without distorting the view on the screen. Right? Or am I wrong somehow?
Well it’s a very high res camera so it’s not like it’s difficult to discern detail even at the outer edge. But no way to get a super wide shot without some sort of distortion at the edges. I feel it’s worth it. If it were 720p or 480p like some cameras instead of 2160 then the distortion would probably be too much.
Ok, I understand now. I thought you were saying you did not see what I was describing. Instead, you say it is worth it because of what you gain. Reasonable explanation.
When I was into photography in the days of film, wide lenses with minimal edge distortion were mega expensive.
I can confirm it is there on my Dark Horse Premium, annoyingly it's a USB-A rather than a USB-C but I suppose that is to be compatible with more dashcams out of the box.
Is it annoying because Viofo uses USB-C or for some other reason?
Can you share the video?
Annoying because USB-C is smaller form factor, and therefore neater, and goes in both ways round. I know it’s only install once and it’s done, but the world has moved on from USB-A years ago already, it’s basically old tech.
