If the viewing angle is wide enough and you mount fairly near the centre, it wont matter. Unless you have OCD and I can say that because I do
You know your windscreen better than I do, so point taken. In my car Im lucky to have quite a clear field of view when mounting.
I had now idea what an inspection sticker was until I googled it. Another thing to consider and surely a bit of a pain.
Lol
Your wish......... is my command.
its why I have a dashcam........
once the police return the video I hopefully can show it, well at least to my cell mates.....
looking good
If you want i can translate for you so it will have Danish language too.
I'm very excited to hear more about this product and see what it looks like. I'm sure I speak for many by saying that I appreciate the enormous amount thought, time and care you're taking in bringing a product like this to fruition.
I have a question about the mount though that applies to my personal needs but may well be of interest to other potential users of this camera. I live in a state in the US that requires an inspection sticker directly behind the rear view mirror which prevents me from mounting a dash cam in the prime location most drivers prefer to place a camera. Instead, I usually mount whatever camera I deploy to the right of the rear view mirror and turn it slightly to the left to achieve the desired FOV. Many cameras on the market are designed to tilt only in an up/down axis but not left/right assuming a center windshield placement. So, of course, I want to know if the mounting scheme for the GT2S will allow for a left/right adjustment as well as up/down?
Edit: I should clarify that turning the camera towards the left really seems to require a ball joint mount or other multi-axis adjustment scheme because one usually needs to level the camera after tilting it down and turning it to face slightly to the left.
though I always forget to mount low enough that my windscreen wipers clear the section of screen that I have picked.
Member sludgeguts posted a picture of how he mounted a similar form factor camera in an unconventional way. I have attached the picture.
as I mentioned it won't suit every situation (a one size fits all was next to impossible) unfortunately but we will do similar spec cameras later in a different form factor to try and cater to some of those other needs
have you got a picture of the inspection sticker, how big it is etc? I'd imagine in some cars it can't go top center of screen as it's impossible to mount there (check out some of the new Merc's with all the junk they have around the mirror area)
up here in the Cold region of euroupe we all learn english in school, it is allso common on products to only use either Danish - norwegian or swedish to cover all 3 contries ( in the good old days we where all Danish )
Would it be possible to have the display indicate speed ( big White numbers on a black background ) as a option to LCD off ?
LCD OFF – Selectable 15 seconds, 1 Minute, 3 Minutes, GPS speed or OFF
The SD Cards is 32 gb max ?
Hoping you will offer a ball joint mount of some kind as that seem to offer the most flexible adjustment solution. If small enough and integrated with the camera itself, it could possibly be a "(a one size fits all") mounting scheme. I have yet to see one for a dash cam that is really ideal but some quality small ball heads for photography tripods offer good examples of how this could be done.
I wonder how well this would work on a small plane. My roommate just bought a Cessna 150. I'm trying to get him interested in using a DashCam. The plane's wind shield is round, but at least the actual gt2s camera is tiny. There is limited room up front for the black box, let alone my feet when I I'm in the co-pilot's seat I'm going to try bring my vico-WF1 along via suction cup mount when we fly to Palm Springs in a few weeks. (as a test) I'm pretty sure I'll have to mount it inverted on the dashboard (flat metal) The plane has one cigarette power adapter. He's using a DUAL SUB power adapter. One charges the iPad, one charges the more accurate bluetooth GPS module.
Let me know, if you need a field tester with some expierences..., due to my study of computer science, it hopefully will be no problem to juggle with some firmware versions... ;-)Once that's done we will be doing a small production run and will send some of the first completed product out to the people that will be assisting with some field testing, we'll look for any anomalies and anything we need to fine tune before we get stuck into mass production, I'd expect we'll possibly be a few firmware versions
Because we write our own firmware we can support any language, so we can localize the product to any market for language, system defaults etc, we supply an English version, you give us back the translation and we can include the language, (our engineer draws the line at Arabic languages though, too hard for us to check it for accuracy)
Nevertheless, if you need a translation to german language, poke me. I'll be ready to do so.thanks for the offer, I'll probably leave translations until I have an agent in a particular country and the need is there (translating the menus is a fair amount of work for our engineer), if that situation arises and I don't have anyone to help though I'll let you know
