Both of these have great reviews and user support.

I have a DR650S which is the older version of the DR750S. It's pretty bulky but it hides well for where I placed it (passenger side blocked by mirror). Living in a hot environment, I had issues with it resetting every once in awhile while parked. I believe the DR750S fixed that. The app function is pretty nice, in that I can download my videos via WiFi instead of having to pull the card to get my videos. Although, in the beginning, every time it said it detected "an impact" I got hyper paranoid and was able to pull the video then and there. In all, I'm happy with it.

I didn't go with the Thinkware because I thought it was even bulkier and it takes up a pretty large piece of real estate on your windshield.

Thinkware F800 seems sensitive to heat. Have used a few different dash cams over the years and this is the only one that would shut down even when parked just 45 mins

does thinkware f800 only have 1 min clips? is there anyway to record all in 1 file for longer than that?

as far as I can tell it's all 1min for F750 and F800.. a bit annoying to scroll through. You'd have to find software to join them (iphone default movie maker app works)
