Just back from my hols in the Welsh Valleys - very little mobile signal and zero internet unless I loitered around certain shops & banks to nick their wifi.
Dashmellow, that used to be street furniture (lamppost/sign etc) until some muppet approaching the roundabout too fast smashed into it. Instead of repairing them properly, the council love to chop off the worst bit & wrap the rest up in hazard tape - and there it stays for years & years!
Following on from the 'success' of my blu-tac mount, I'm going to install a mobius in my car & I figured I could use Sugru rather than blu-tac.
I'm lucky enough to have a plastic parcel shelf above my windscreen so my current cam (F70) is held in place with a single screw (allowing sideways adjustment) - and because the lens rotates up or down, this solves the problem of aiming the lens down away from the sun.
I couldn't see another way of getting the mobius tight to the parcel shelf whilst getting the angles right - and I figured I could use sugru.
If I mount the cam close to the screen, my blu-tac experience tells me I'll likely pick up loads of reflections so I'm hoping that some black sugru will make an excellent shield, by projecting outwards from the bottom of the lens towards the screen.
I'll probably do the mount in 2 goes. The first part being to fix the cradle, aim the cam & let the sugru set.
The second part will be to make a simple lens shield using the black sugru. Again, I would have to have the cam connected to a monitor to ensure the shield is out of shot (or 'just' in shot so as to make no difference.)
I did wonder about making a small ' |_| ' shaped bracket to allow sideways and up/down movement but couldn't figure out a simple way to attach to the sides of the mobius' cradle - OK, I could glue some bolts to the cradle but I felt the sugru solution would look neater & possibly provide a more stable fixing.
