    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    Yes, that is the correct filter.

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    Hmmm... The cone would have to be wide enough to reach the top and bottom of the windshield, and reach to the "A" pillars at the left and right edges of the windshield. That would be a very big cone! :rolleyes: Anyhow, that is the field of view of any dashcam I've used, so the cone would...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    I plan to add some of the DR500 designs (including the no-bracket design), properly modified to fit the DR650. I made a mistake with the original DR650 offerings, depending on measurements made by someone else and not actually testing the fit. Now that I have a DR650-1CH I won't make the same...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    I've added orange and purple, just for you! Fabulous! :p (such a deal...) (Look at the scrollable images on the product page: http://shpws.me/KjGn) The default color - white - can be painted (by you) any color you want. You can lightly sand the outer surfaces to remove the slight...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    A tested design for the DR650 front camera went on sale today. See: http://shpws.me/KjGn Here's the new design (upper right), the old design (upper left), and the MagFilter components (foreground). The new design is a lot "grippier" and it does not move when you rotate or remove the filter...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    The lens barrel of the 650 extends farther from the body of the camera than it does on the 500/550. Therefore, if you use the 500/550 design on the 650, the inner surface of the filter will hit the end of the lens and the filter will not make contact with the magnetic ring. Here is a design for...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    GRG: Shapeways does the 3D printing for the adapter. My orders come from their facility in New York in the US. They also have a printing facility in Holland, which is likely where your order will come from. (1) Here is the link to the DR650 product...

    The clip on anti-reflection lens, how many use them?

    I designed an adapter that allows you to fit a MagFilter CPL to the DR500 and to the front cam of the DR550. The adapters are available through Shapeways and Sculpteo. 126 of the adapters have sold through Shapeways, but I cannot track sales through Sculpteo since I have no markup on the...

    New thread on polarizer filter for BlackVue DR500GW-HD

    You might want to go to the forum for the DR3500 and ask the question there. USDashCamera (formerly known as "pizzaengineer") has posted a DR3500 review there. I think I recall that he (as pizzaengineer) installed the filter and adapter system on the DR500 or similar system. EDIT: Total sales...

    CPL for BlackVue?

    (Got a note from Shapeways today - April 8. They are having bad website problems. Checkout their stuff later.) The Shapeways and Sculpteo websites offer the finished part, not the STL design. Here is a link to the designs I have at Shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/ErewhonGadgets...

    CPL for BlackVue?

    Here's a very long thread that I started a while back about an adapter to attach a circular polarizing filter to a DR500GW-HD. You may want to skim through the early parts to look at the last several pages. The adapter designs were successful and are available from the 3D printing service...

    HOW TO: Change the GPS battery in the DR500GW-HD when date is 1970

    Excellent tutorial, wozzzzza! Thanks for posting it. Although I solder things and like to fiddle with tiny pieces, the job looks very challenging. Google searches show that the "ms621fe" battery is rechargeable, but it looks like yours nevertheless wore out. Does you dashcam get roasted a lot...

    New thread on polarizer filter for BlackVue DR500GW-HD

    Hi pizzaengineer, Great video! Also, your conclusion about a CPL filter for the rear camera seems about right - a pain in the a** to remove the filter at night, and too dark if you leave it on. I've sold 60 adapters from the Shapeways store so far. Sculpteo, unlike Shapeways, does not allow...

    Blackvue DR600GW-HD arrived today

    Hi Ara, Thanks for checking on the WiFi speed! What a disappointment that the 600 is no better than the 500. :( I like a lot about the 500, but I wish that BlackVue would make it just a little bit better on some of the specs.

    Blackvue DR600GW-HD arrived today

    Estoril Sport and Ara (any anyone else who has the new DR600GW-HD): How does the WiFi speed of the 600GW-HD compare to the WiFi speed of the 500GW-HD? Can you connect a tablet or smartphone to the 600GW-HD using WiFi and play recorded video without all the pauses for video buffering that one...

    Setting Up Wifi.

    Your S3 connects to the BlackVue using Wi-Fi, not bluetooth. Yes, the BlackVue is a Wi-Fi "hotspot." Your S3 will then talk to the BlackVue, but nothing else. The BlackVue "hotspot" does not connect to the Internet itself, but allows communication just to the dashcam and nothing more. Yes...

    Setting Up Wifi.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, and a Samsung tablet. I can connect to my home Wi-Fi with either, or I can connect to my BlackVue Wi-Fi with either. I just pick the network I want and supply the password. There is no need to make the two different Wi-Fi access points have the same password...

    You can also order the adapters from Sculpteo: http://www.sculpteo.com/en/s/markfisher58958/ They're in France, across a much smaller pond (the English Channel). :)

    New thread on polarizer filter for BlackVue DR500GW-HD

    Hi ucsmfu, Here's what I can do. I've looked at a number of photos of the 550 rear cam. An adapter for the rear cam would follow the same general design as the front cam, but I would really need the rear cam in my hands to do precise measurements. A bolt-on design would probably be best, since...
