TLDR: It’s the most wonderful time of the year as Black Friday kicks off the biggest holiday shopping weekend of the year Review the practical details and setup.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year as Black Friday kicks off the biggest holiday shopping weekend of the year. And yes, generally, everything goes on sale on Black Friday. But just because it’s on sale doesn’t make it a great buy.
So, how do you know your bargain is genuine or your deal is real?
Do Buy: BlackVue dash cams and accessories
If you’ve followed BlackVue trends and pricing, you will know that BlackVue typically only does two major sales each year: Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. So if it’s a BlackVue dash cam that you’ve been saving up for, there is no better time to get it than Black Friday.
Do Buy: VIOFO dash cams (and more importantly, buy them from BlackboxMyCar)
Yes, it seems there’s always a sale happening on VIOFO’s website and while the discounts are often rather attractive, if you’re looking to gift a VIOFO dash cam this Holiday, your top priority would be “will the dash cam get here in time?” and if you’re going for the deals on VIOFO’s website then we can surely tell you, “No, your VIOFO dash cam might arrive after Christmas” even if you purchase it before Black Friday.
Like we have explained in our previous article, when you get your VIOFO dash cam depends on where it is shipping out from.
AliExpress and VIOFO ship out from China, which means longer shipping times (even with paid expedited shipping), especially during the busy holiday months. And because it’s coming from outside the country, your purchase may incur additional customs and duties fees that you must pay before your dash cam can be released to you.
With our Holiday Price Match, you can get the same great deals from BlackboxMyCar - just bring us their best offer, and we will match it. We also offer Free Shipping.
All dash cam battery packs are 15% OFF this Black Friday - so logically, the more expensive the battery pack is, the better the savings. This makes the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 Battery Pack a great buy now.
But did you know that the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 is a 7500mAh battery whereas the Cellink NEO (now discontinued) and the BlackVue B-124X (now discontinued) are both a 6000mAh battery - which means Cellink and BlackVue coming out with a similiarly-sized battery pack is not a matter of if but when. If for whatever reason you only like the Cellink NEO or the BlackVue B-124X battery packs (or their extended battery packs), stocking up now while they are still available, and on sale, is definitely a wise thing to do.
Do Buy: VIOFO A119 V3 Family Bundle
There are currently three Family Bundle Deals on BlackboxMyCar:
Unlike the Signature Bundles, where packages are curated to offer the best dash cams and accessories, the Family Bundles are simple gift bundles that give you 3 of the same thing.
Take the VIOFO A119 V3, for instance. It’s the #1 Recommended dash cam on Reddit and DashCamTalk. It’s a very affordable dash cam that offers some of the best 2K QHD video quality in the market - so naturally, it makes the perfect Holiday gift for almost everyone on your list. And with the VIOFO A119 V3 Family Bundle, you can cross 3 of those names off your list.
Now what you don’t know is, the Family Bundles are created using the lowest price of the season. In other words, love the savings on the VIOFO A119 V3 right now? We made it better by slapping on additional discounts when you buy 3!
Do Skip: Gift Cards (unless you absolutely don’t know which dash cam to get)
We don’t offer any Black Friday deals on our gift cards, so the amount of money you pay now for a $100 Gift Card will be the same as you would on Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.
However, if you have any BlackboxMyCar gift cards, now would be a great time to use them!
And if you really have no clue which dash cam to get, talk to us. Nothing makes us happier than matching you with the right dash cam. We are available via email, phone and Live Chat until 7:30pm on Black Friday, and we are here from 9am to 9pm PST on November 26, 2022.
You didn't mention anything Thinkware and FineVu above, does that mean I can skip them this Black Friday?
