If you have an earlier Garmin Mini dash cam, then keep it.
As with previous generations of Dash Cam Mini, the 3 is Garmins entry-level model.
Available now, the Mini 3 is priced at $149.99 / 149.99 / AU$249.
This makes it slightly more expensive than theMini 2, which arrived back in the summer of 2021.
The new model is available now.
This can be handy for when you witness an incident but arent directly involved.
Garmins fantastic (and fantastically simple) windshield mount returns once again with the Mini 3.
It does so through a 140-degree lens with a built-in polarizing filter designed to cut down on windshield reflections.
Thats no bad thing.
So even if you dont actually hit anything, youll have evidence of what could have been a near-miss.
As for additional features, the Mini 3 has access to Garmins voice control tech.
Its a nice-to-have but something youre unlikely to use frequently.
Another fringe-case feature of Garmin dash cams is how up to four can be synced up together.
Remember though, each dash cam will need a 12-volt or USB socket for power.
