B1W Inside / Outside Camera

[TonyM]

Looking for new ways to record from within my car, I mounted a B1W in front of the rear view mirror. It records my activity with the dashboard & steering wheel, some of the view ahead for context, and through the mirror it records some of the car interior too. I'm using a DIY mount, although the standard mount would probably work fine too.

The exposure is metered on the car interior which is what I wanted. I already have other cameras recording what is going on outside the car.

I did try other camera angles, both higher and lower, which show differing amounts of the inside, outside and driver. I think I prefer position #2.

I did a quick test holding my modified GitUp F1 4K (140deg FOV) alongside the B1W to compare them for inside & outside recording. It is apparent that the F1 has a much wider dynamic range, with far less tendency towards blown highlights. I'm not sure the F1 will be so easy to mount in the same position though.
