Hello everyone, I just joined this community, I hope to share and contribute!
I would like to ask something maybe not too frequent for dashcam and GPS owners: I'm considering a few"Uber" dashcam models to buy one soon (Vantrue N2 Pro, Viofo 129 Duo IR, Anker Roav Duo), as well as a 5'' Garmin GPS (Drive 51 LM).
One of my main concerns at this time is to protect these devices against theft, since a previous dashcam and GPS were robbed from my car. I was looking especifically for some kind of mount able to not only hold the devices firmly, but also keep it safely attached to prevent being stolen. I'm looking for something very similar to this...
...but unfortunately, all these cradles are designed for bigger devices, such as 7'' or 8'' tablets (the RAM mount from the last link is only compatible with other GPS models).
Eventually, I can use a RAM mount accesory to hold the mount, such as the aluminum rod and round plate (see image), or use the RAM aluminum tough-track to create a more simple configuration for a dash (see image). Please note that some mount devices look very similar to the X-grip mount for mobile phones as shown in the image (this one: https://www.rammount.com/part/RAP-B-378-UN10U) but this is not the type of "safe" mount that I'm looking for.
I guess that find a mount able to protect the dashcam would be more difficult, due to the different shapes and sizes of each model, so maybe a custom mount made by a local car accesories shop could be the solution. Or, to choose a more discreet dashcam (such as the Garmin mini: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/621281), but as far as I know this one has overheating issues).
It would be very helpful to have some orientation with this, because I will travel to USA the next week and I plan to buy the devices and mount(s) there.
Thanks in advance!
Farid.
