The best mini dash cam is still down to its record-low Cyber Monday price
The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 is still a bargain, but how long for?
One of Cyber Monday's best dash cam deals was a lowest-ever price on the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 – and that offer is still available at Amazon, for now.
We rate the Dash Cam Mini 2 as the best compact dash cam you can buy and it's also one of the best-value ones around thanks to Amazon's 15% off deal, which takes it down to $109.99 (from its usual $129.99).
We'd expected the Cyber Monday deal to have gone by now, but it's still going strong today. It isn't clear how long it'll be available for, though, so if you need a dash cam that just does the basics and shoots good-quality 1080p video, we'd suggest picking it up sooner rather than later.
In our review of Garmin's tiny dash cam, which is about the size of a key fob, we praised its "focus on simplicity", along with its "high-quality HD footage and useful set of voice control commands".
Today's best dash cam deal
Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2: was $129.99 now $109.99 at Amazon
This deal equals the lowest-ever price for Garmin's tiny dash cam. Despite being the size of a key fob, the Dash Cam Mini 2 can shoot good-quality 1080p video with a wide 140-degree field of view, and saves videos over Wi-Fi to cloud storage for viewing later.
While the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 lacks premium features like 4K video recording or a rear screen, we think it nails the basics and offers great value, particularly in this post-Cyber Monday deal.
Because it's tiny and weighs only 35g, it can hide away discreetly behind your rear-view mirror, which makes it particularly suitable for small cars. In our tests, we were also impressed with the quality of its 1080p video and 140-degree field of view, plus the handy voice controls.
And while the Dash Cam Mini 2 does also lack GPS, we found the Garmin Drive app – which is an important part of the dash cam experience – to be very polished and user-friendly. We had no issues with connecting it to the dash cam, which is where some models can slip up, and it's free for iOS and Android phones.
