Hi - first post for me.
Has anyone ever come across Range Tour before, and if so are there any general impressions? I'm considering them for a specific set of circumstances:
Most of the dual-lens cameras seem to have their rear lens on the right-hand side. In my UK car that's no good - it will spend most of its time recording my face, which I am perfectly happy not to have committed to video. No, the rear cam will need to be on the left-hand side of the unit, so that I can conceal the unit behind the rear view mirror to avoid distraction, yet still have the rear camera peeking out from the side of the mirror and pointing back through the car. As you can see there's limited space even for that - will need to be so that I can position the rear camera lens between the left-hand edge of the mirror and the right-hand edge of the passenger visor.
The closest I've found to what I want are these Range Tours (B80 or B90) or the Nextbase Duo HD. The NextBase looks good but some things about it - it seems to take a lot of space hanging directly down instead of flush against the windscreen, it has the 'Nextbase' logo burned into all footage, appears to be lower spec on max card size and it's about £90 more expensive than these Range Tours. Upside - easy to get hold of, known quantity on reliability, good support. Advantage of the Range Tours - they're a lot cheaper, -appear- to be higher spec, capacitor not battery, they sit flush against the windscreen. Disadvantage...but I can barely find anything about them so no idea how well they'll work. They also seem to be pretty large, flush against the windscreen or not.
Any knowledge of them appreciated - thanks.

- Right-hand drive (UK) convertible - this one in fact:
- Want a rear cam as well as front
- 1080p on both front and rear views
