I love watching Tech Talk while having my first coffee for the day. Thanks to your segments, my peers think i am so smart sharing techy stuff during lunch hour 🙂 Cobra and Thinkware are great brands!
I hope I get the chance to try one. I’m not picky, either cobra or thinkware will do 😉
COBRA
Dash Cams are a great way to prove what happened, what you might have missed and who did what to your car! What’s more, you just might catch a meteor and provide valuable astronomical data, as in Chelyabinsk, a few years ago. It is a great public service to promote their use. Good for you, Erin!
Useful to have one of these Cobra or thinkware for safety.
I really enjoyed your Tech Talk. Your information on COBRA and THINKWARE will save us a lot of time when we go shopping for a dashcam.
Thank you very much Erin for all your valuable information about dash cameras. I will remember the names COBRA and THINKWARE X350 when looking for a reliable one.
Erin, I love your Tech Talk segments on CTV Morning Live!
THINKWARE COBRA
Keywords Cobra & Thinkware
My wife and I truly enjoy your Tech Talks and thank you for introducing us to all the wonderful gadget’s. A dashcam has been on my gift list for sometime, so to win one would be great!
Thanks
Great review on the Cobra!
Love the segments in the morning! I have been looking for a good DashCam and this segment has really helped. I am thinking I would buy the THINKWARE system, but the COBRA looks pretty good too.
Thank you!
I have been thinking of getting a dash camera for a while and found your segment to be very informative. I was not aware of the rear facing camera. Keywords Cobra and Thinkware.
What great timing! We’ve been checking out dash cams because of an incident on the highway this summer and all your info will help us make our decision easier. Now which to buy? Cobra or Thinkware? Hmmmm… Thanks heaps and bunches for your help.
I always enjoy your segments on the morning show. I never thought about buying a dash camera but found the information enlightening. It would be especially nice to win one.
Saw your segment this morning and was impressed with the dash cams and rear cameras. I never thought it would be something I would use but your demonstration videos about all the products including Cobra and Thinkware have me thinking differently. I do see a practical need and am surprised how affordable they are. Keep up the segments on Techtalk, I’ve gotten a lot of great gift ideas from them for my tech savvy family! Being from the Baby Boomer Generation, I appreciate feeling “in the know” and have even impressed my family members with information you have provided!
I enjoyed your segment on the Cobra cameras and Thinkware system. One hopes they never need them but if you do as they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
Thanks for the review. The Cobra products look great. I currently use the Thinkware F50 forward facing with no screen and appreciate the low profile. I will be upgrading to accommodate a rear facing one as well due to the reasons you mentioned on the show. Cheers
The info provided in Techtalk this morning make me want a dash cam even more. The “COBRA” products are great.
Great segment! I’d be happy with either the COBRA or the THINKWARE.
I always enjoy the Techtalk segment as I always learn something new.
Pleasure watching over breakfast in the morning before work. Always learn. Thought would like the Thinkware x350 but cannot stream live and record at the same time. So would likely pick Cobra then, the suction and small size works well. Would probably take either one though, as haven’t been able to buy a camera suitable for the dash yet! Anyway really, super time and well done in the morning.
I sure enjoy the reviews you give. All of these cameras would be good. The Cobra is great.
Great products ‘COBRA’ and THINKWARE’ this is more becoming a neccesity in our vehicles than just an option! Should pass a law making dashcams mandatory.
Very interesting information about dash cams this morning on CTV news. I have been thinking about them but didn’t know which ones to look at, and now I do.
Thank You
The city should make dashcam mandatory for all vehicles. Thanks for your products! They’re very useful on the road.
Many thanks for the info on Cobra and Thinkware dash cameras. We really enjoy your tech talk segments.
Jean
I like the dual camera feature of the COBRA device so I am able to capture front and back views in my car. As I drive around daily in Calgary for my business, I would find it invaluable to have video evidence if I ever was involved in an *incident*. Thanks Erin for the info on this mornings CTV Morning Live segment!
Thank you Erin. I always enjoy your segment. Fascinating about the woman in England who almost got scammed, yikes. I want a Cobra or a Thinkware for my car!

It was very helpful this morning to hear the explanation about your great products.. For a while I have considered purchasing such items for my vehicle, particularly because of the inappropriate driving that seems to be increasing. I didn’t realize where to start looking. I know now! Thanks.

Very informative, making a good case for purchasing one of the fine dash cams from manufacturers such as Cobra or Thinkware
