Great, Thanks for the Info and quick reply. If I may ask, how are yours powered while in use in your vehicle?
One of mine lives upside-down on a hybrid mount on top of my dashboard, meaning the supplied cable (with its ferrite bead) can still be used. In that position it generally escapes the worst of the windscreen reflections resulting from my shallow windscreen angle. The Cobra has a 'Screen Rotate' option in its menus so the video comes out the correct way up when the cam is upside-down.
The other has done service as a side-view cam, peeping through the A-pillar window and recording 720p60 which better suits the capture of fast-moving objects passing its field of view, but it has also been a main front cam in our family car and powered by random 'branded' dashcam cables that I've accumulated (Nextbase/DOD, Mio, Transcend).
The hybrid mount on my dash top is the swing-mount section of the Cobra's mount, sitting in the base section of a Mobius adhesive mount. The adhesive alone won't stick securely to the textured dash top, so I put a small screw through the centre of the socket of the mount to secure it.
Anything else that uses the Mobius 'tripod-type' screw-threaded mount will also fit, so in theory I could mount a camcorder on that mount, or a photo-camera, and at times recently I've experimented with a JooVuu X on the same mount.
Picture below showing my dash-top-mounted Cobra 840 and behind-sun-visor-mounted SGZC12RC-V2.
In fact, the speaker and air vent reflections which spoil the image of higher-mounted cams are visible in the picture; the Cobra mostly peeps under the reflections.
