Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 Review: The Smallest Way to Add a Dash Cam

The Mini 3 is about as small as dash cams get: roughly key-sized and basically invisible behind your mirror. It's the easiest way to add a reputable dash cam without cluttering the windshield.

Key features

• Its tiny size keeps your view clear and attracts less attention.
• Garmin's polarizer lens cuts windshield glare.
• Voice control saves clips without touching anything.
• Automatic incident saving works in the background.

Best for

Drivers who want a simple, discreet, set-and-forget front camera.

Things to consider

• 1080p is less detailed than 1440p or 4K cams.
• There's no screen, so you review clips on your phone.
• Parking alerts need a paid Vault subscription.

Verdict

A great minimalist dash cam. Step up to the X310 if you want 4K detail.
