Indy Posted September 13, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2017 I'm planning on picking one up sometime. If I had a memory card slot in my phone, I'd use it, but I don't. Afraid it would eat up way to much space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch the vids online but never really gave any thought to getting one until last weekend. I was driving along at or a little above the limit. There was a Corvette behind me and I could tell he was itching to get by. When a passing zone came, I knew he was going. There was a pickup coming the other way. It was kind of an ugly pass, but nothing too bad. What I didn't expect, was the Dakota behind the Corvette to go, too. It was so close, the truck coming the other way and I both headed for the shoulder. If I had dashcam I would have turned the footage in, for whatever it was worth.

If there isn't an accident, nothing to turn in. But I've had enough close calls as people become more and more impatient and worse drivers, that I really feel I need to get one to protect myself.

jsharr ★ Posted September 13, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 13, 2017 Bless you. In Texas, if you stop past the large white limit line, you have actually run the stop sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted September 13, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 13, 2017 I have a mount for the run cam I use on my drones but that sucks as a dash cam because it produces a whole string of 5 min video's instead of one continuous one. Besides, no one is interested in pics of the road under my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted September 13, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 13, 2017 I have one, but the only time I use it with any regularity is when I drive in the L.A. area. It holds about an hour of video in five minute chunks on the card I have in it. I have set to clear the oldest file and replace it when there is no more room (first in, first out loop). That way I always have the last hour of video on it no matter how long I've been driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted September 13, 2017 Share #17 Posted September 13, 2017 Last weekend I bought an inexpensive dash cam for the new car. For some reason that car attracts every insecure idiot driving a large vehicle, wanting to bully a small vehicle. The picture is at least as good as my older helmet cam I payed much more for. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/uniden-dcam-dash-camera-black/5366901.p?skuId=5366901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was looking at the Gopro's when I picked this one up to play with. I'm using it to try different cam mount locations to see what kind of mounts to get. If I get a chance I'll post a video I have by hanging this one inside (instead of outside up in the wind) where you can see inside the car. Unfortunately, the rear view mirror hides most of the view out though the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
