Cons
Con If cam is not properly turned off video file will be corrupted
DOD LS430W uses MOV video format, which can be easily corrupted if writing to a video file was terminated unexpectedly. This happened to me many times and one time during an accident, where recording of accident was irrecoverably corrupted and I had no proof of the accident.
Con Vibrations muddle the sound quality
Due to the G1W's cheap build, the parts rattle. This causes some interference with audio quality but shouldn't be a deal breaker.
Con It is common for the mini-USB plug comes loose

If the car is off, there is no way that the camera can be recording.
