Best praise vs top criticism for Viofo A119 Mini

Best Praise

After lots of research myself, I have the Viofo A119 mini 2 that has the Sony Starvis 2 sensor and it’s been great (my SD card is a 64gb SanDisk MAX Endurance). I like that it’s compact, and always works. It’s worked during the summer (95+°F days) and even with it freezing overnight now it’s had no issues. I determined in my research that this one was the best value for the money and anything with better video quality at even $300 was going to have negligible benefits. When blind comparing videos from the Viofo A119 mini 2 to other $300 dash cams, you could hardly tell the difference.

Parasitic draw. That's another good point. Many people in this sub praise the Viofos for their video quality, but at the same time you will find many posts about batteries being killed by Viofos. I've yet to see a post where a Thinkware (mine has onboard voltage monitoring) killed a battery. If you're looking for a safe replacement, maybe find one that doesn't depend on a $5 power adapter.
