"I am keeping it for its compact size and the fact that I don’t see it at all while I am in the drivers seat."
"no integrated screen ... low profile ... It came with a long cord that I tucked under the headliner trim and plugged into the USB port in the back seat."
"tucks behind the rearview and is 100% invisible to the driver. ... I got this one because it's small and unobtrusive"

"Connecting it to a pass through charging power bank so I can get up to a couple of days recording while parked. ... At around 0C temperature I get about 2.5 to 3 days continuous recording or if you set up the dash cam settings to go into park mode I can get 3 to 4 days. ... The mini 3 only consumes about 1.2 to 1.8W when recording so it's ideal for my set up."
"1 week of park mode. ... 3 to 4 days of continuous recording."
"I personally haven’t seen the effects of the Mini 3 completely draining my car battery. ... I drive my car everyday. To my knowledge the Mini 3 at least has a low parasitic drain."
