Formula

Formula is based in New Zealand.

Originally established in the mid-1980s, we are an import wholesale distribution business primarily focused on products for the automotive and consumer electronics markets. Since the mid eighties we’ve been amongst the New Zealand leaders when it comes to importing and distributing specialised products and accessories for the engineering and automotive markets. Working closely with major national

distributors and with a nationwide network of regional distributors, we supply high calibre air tools, spray equipment, compressors and auto body repair products to ‘tradies’ and DIY enthusiasts alike. Formula Marketing has also developed and exclusively markets the unique Colorpak aerosol paint for convenient point-of-sale filling throughout New Zealand and Australia.

New in Stock: VIOFO A329 & A229 Pro Dash Cams

Two flagship dash cams, both packing Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for razor-sharp footage day or night.

A329 4K 60FPS — the world's first dash cam recording true 4K at 60fps. Its larger front sensor pulls in more light and detail, so license plates and road signs stay crisp even at speed or in tricky lighting. Paired with Wi-Fi 6 for lightning-fast footage transfers and support for external SSD storage, it's built for drivers who want zero compromise on quality.

A229 Pro 4K 30FPS — the dash cam Wirecutter rates #1. Dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors front and rear deliver stunning 4K/2K HDR video, with voice control and fast 5GHz Wi-Fi for effortless everyday use.

Both models come in Waterproof, Telephoto, and IR (interior/cabin) versions — so whether you need a weatherproof rear camera for trailers and utes, extra reach to capture distant plates, or discreet cabin monitoring for rideshare and fleet vehicles, there's a configuration built for the job.
