  • Podofo sent me these 2 devices, so I agreed to review them, but review them honestly. They are an established Chinese company, started in 2013, who focused on devices for the car initially, but now have branched out into motorcycles. Could they be the next best thing?
    I already have a Carpuride, and don't need another, but heck, it's fun playing with new toys, so what the hell?

    So far I'm quite impressed. Will be doing a proper set of rides this long weekend and will report back on touch sensitivity, rainy weather performance, brightness and responsiveness, etc.

    Once there is a 5 inch carplay display that's thin and has thin bezels and is battery driven, I'll buy one. Until then, the phone will do it.

    I am keen to hear your thoughts on the PODOFO A3501.
    Like you, I'd mount the device on my Quadlock and place my phone (second) elsewhere.
    A question: If I may...
    Will the A3501 function (run) in a vertical position?
    Keep up the good work,
    Cheers.

    Hi Sir, would like to ask whether or not have you try to connect either one or both podofo with Bluetooth and intercom for helmet. If yes, does it messed up with the connection for the intercom? I'm using the intercom daily to ride with my wife and I really need your opinion on this matter. Thank you in advance and thank you for this great review. I wish the best for you and everyone.

      Cardo Intercom works fine with the podofo. You just need to set it up right. Not sure about other brands.

    @smackbikeNZ Thank you for the review! did you try to install your own Android apps on A3526? Is it possible?

    Hello. Please, I' d like to know if the Podofo 3526 (the bigger one) has the option for the two cameras, too. Also, I'd like to know how well does it work its own GPS? Thanks.

    • @smackbikeNZ
      @smackbikeNZ  Месяц назад

      Yep, the unit has both front and read camera. The gps works as well as expected, just like my one on my phone. Never had an issue locking onto satellites.

      Are you sure that you're talking about 3526... ? 'Cose I' ve looked on their site and they don't say anything about dvr function or cameras... Just video player function.

  • @martincolton8166
    @martincolton8166 7 месяцев назад

    Which would you recommend between the Carpuride and the A3526 I’m not interested in the cameras and like the slightly bigger screen. Thanks

    • @smackbikeNZ
      @smackbikeNZ  7 месяцев назад +1

      I'm now using the Carpuride over the A3526 for really only 1 reason, the Carpuride boots up quicker.. The carpuride is running, connected and playing music within 20 seconds. It's takes the A3526 40 seconds.

    I will never support carpuride after they don't honour their warranty at all my screen went bad after 4 months and all they will do is send me a new screen a I have to replace myself I asked for a refund and they then wanted to send me anew unit at a cost to me of $30. I again asked for refund then they threatened me with expenses shipping cost to me to send back and only get refund of $60 out of $175 not impressed at all so I binned it and went for midland as I know they do honor their warranty.

    Seems to be a big waste of money nothing your phone can’t do unless it has reverse camera which you don’t need on a bike anyway. Then you would have to remove so it’s not stolen be easier to remove phone and put it in your pocket.
    Doesn’t make any sense.
