So on my 4th ride the camera failed 5 minutes into my 50 minute commute, locking up and not recording anything beyond the first 5 minutes (which created an uplayable 600mb file).
The red light stayed on the entire time so there was no indication that something had gone wrong.
I had to use a paperclip to hit the recessed "reset" button on the back.
Failing 1 out of 4 trips is not really acceptable. I need to go read up on Monoprice's return policy. I think I am ok with the image quality (or lack thereof in some situations) but I can't have this thing just failing to work for no apparent reason. If this happens again, it's going back.
