Hi everyone,
I have always found this forum extremely useful, but never got around to joining. It all started at the end of 2013 when my newly purchased car was backed into in the university parking structure. My front bumper was backed into while I was away, and no note/info was left by the driver. Luckily, since CA requires a front license plate (and LA is really picky about it), my tow-hook license plate mount protected most of my bumper and definitely did more damage to the other car (made out of steel haha). At this point, I began my quest to find the best dashcam...now I have at least 1 dashcam in each car.
Here are the loadouts:
Anyways, I have quite a bit of experience/reviews that I think can help give back to the community.

p.s. Since the weather is quite sunny in SoCal, there is often tons of reflections/glare. I have installed/retrofitted CPL filters on most of the dashcams (ex. DR650 has 3D printed adapter to mount 36mm CPL MagFilter).
p.p.s. I actually back-up most of my dashcam footage...glad storage has gotten so much cheaper .
