Garmin Dash Cam 65W

What I've discovered is that the exposure is just too high in sunny weather. So I moved that camera to the rear, and I got a Garmin 45 for the front, and am still working on a good position for it. The 45 has a 100 degree field of view diagonally instead of 180 degrees so it captures more detail up ahead

I just bought one to replace my Garmin 35 which has a dead battery (the final video segment when it loses power ends up disappearing from the SD card). I also wanted a wider angle to capture vehicles to the side. I had it mounted to the windshield but I didn't like how the A pillars block the side view, so I tried strapping it to the passenger headrest with a tightening strap from REI... It works great in this location with plenty of coverage to the front and sides

Here is a sample video going through an intersection and then driving at about 35mph

What is that object on the right/passenger side of windshield, vertically oriented? Or, am I imagining it?

That's a sun shade made by Dash Designs. It's very convenient because it unfolds accordion style and retracts back into the plastic
