There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

These days, a package can go around the world 4 times on FedEX in three weeks and still stop for coffee at Starbucks twice.
You know how Parcel Post works? Think about it. Its designed to shave a couple of pennies off the cost of the shipment. Most of the time its ships outside of Cont U.S. via boat.
Here's what happens in the Post Office. Package A is First Class. Package B is Priority Mail and Package C is Parcel Post. All three arrive on 1 May. One 2 May Packages A & B are picked from the bin and the mailman puts them on the truck to leave. Then he goes to Package C. Picks it up, looks at the label "Parcel Post" (we don't ship no stinkin' packages in a hurry via Parcel Post" so he sits it back down. On 4 May, Package A was delivered. On 5 May Package B was delivered. On 8 May the Mailman picks up Package C and says, okay, its been here a week, lets start it. He puts it on the turtle's saddlebags. On 9 May Package C leaves NY. On 10 May Package C arrives in Wash D.C. On 12 May, it arrives in Miami. On 14 May Package C arrives in Dallas. On 15 May Package C arrives in Chicago. On 16 May Package C arrives in Seattle. On 17 May its put on a USPS contracted plane for Hawaii. On 18 May it arrives in Honolulu at the airport and is offloaded. On 19 May the mailman picks it up and looks at the label and laughs. "Parcel Post" HAHAHA !! and he says "(we don't deliver no stinkin' packages in a hurry via Parcel Post" and he sits it down. On 20 May the mailman picks it up and looks at the label "Parcel Post" Shakes the pack and kicks it like a football over to the bin in the corner. Little old DR650 Package C weeps that its mistreated and abused. On 28 May the mailman looks in the far corner bin and sees lit old Package C. He looks at the label's date 1 May and says "hey, this has been almost a month now, its time to deliver it. On 29 May its delivered.
I can't wait for my DR750-2CH to get here, on 1 Jan '18 :)
You can make the DR650-2CH to function as your Right and Left camera. Now you will have a 4-Channel set-up and nearly complete vehicle coverage.
There are a few 4 Channel dash cams out there are, but they suck.
Here are two YouTube videos of two people who made a 4-Channel set-up using two BlackVue 2-Ch dash cams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPB9vI9qUkM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc2xsJbvsiI
I'm sure a front/rear set-up will be sufficient for most accidents, say 90% (just a hypothetical guess). The other 10%, Left/Right set-up should be able to ca
