I received a brand new Viofo A119 v3 today and so was eager to try it out in the house first. I've plugged it in to my Anker USB 5 port charger using a mini USB cable and it powers up fine. I put a previously used micro SD card from my other dashcam into it (a new Toshiba Exceria M302 64GB Micro SD Memory Card 90 MB/s 4K) which worked fine. However I then stopped recording and tried formatting the micro SD card in the Viofo A119 using the menu option. When I exited the menu it started popping up a 'Memory error' message all the time and wouldn't record. I put the card back in my computer and it looked ok, but hadn't formatted. I also tried a Sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10 HC I micro sd card from my other dashcam (Nextbase). When I inserted it the Viofo said it was full up and so asked me to format the card. I did so but then the same problem, Memory error message kept coming up.
I found another 32GB micro SD card I had which I think is a standard Sandisk, no branding on the card. However this one worked fine! It formats and no errors!
So I'm wondering if the A119 v3 is extremely fussy about micro SD cards. If so I am very surprised the brand new Toshiba Exceria card I bought from Amazon is giving errors, same with the Sandisk which has worked fine in my Nextbase camera. I've emailed Viofo for advice but haven't heard back yet.
Has anyone else experienced issues with memory cards with this model, and if so.. what brand and type of card do you recommend?
Many thanks
