The H5’s form factor is unusual (and polarizing), favoring a narrow front face when compared to most GoPro-like action cameras, choosing instead to put the bulk of the camera to the rear instead of the side. The camera’s dimensions are 1.3 x 4.3 x 2.2 in., making it look a good bit larger than GoPro’s 2.64 x 1.34 x 1.85 in.
After researching a bunch of dash cams and looking at the prices I couldn't pull the trigger. But this morning I noticed GoPro was having a sale so I got an 11, windshield mount, and 32gb SD card with the gopro subscription for under $400 shipped so it was just too good of a value to pass up. GoPro cameras work best outside and underwater – they are for adventures. Dash cams work best permanently installed in your car. They record accidents and other bizarre activities. Boring, but it serves a purpose. So while your GoPro can serve as a dash cam, I don’t think it’s a good long-term solution.REDTIGER Dash Cam Front Rear, 4K/2.5K Full HD Dash Camera for Cars, Free 32GB Card, Built-in Wi-Fi GPS, 3.16” IPS Screen, Night Vision, 170°Wide Angle, WDR, 24H Parking Mode #1 Best Seller Nextbase 322GW Dash Cam Front and Rear Camera Small with App- Full 1080p/60fps HD in Car Camera- WiFi Bluetooth GPS- SOS Emergency Response, Parking Mode
