Anyone got an eBay link to the DR32 mount? looks like the smallest off the shelf mount in the photos posted here.

I also like the DR32 type mount, however, it lacks the articulation I wanted. Fine for setting the 'angle of dangle', but basically adjustable in only one plane ... if that's the correct terminology.

Thanks, I did search but couldn't find it

Continuing my above posts and @russ331 #185 post , its a coincidence that I was also planning to do something with Renault-type mirror arm housing.
Last summer, when Mobius released their lens extension, I started looking for some practical rearview mirror arm housing for my car, where I could install Mobius extension lens or any other dashcamera, because in most VW group cars ( Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda ), - they do have "naked" rearview mirror arm ( without surrounding housing ), .
So, after few days walking in local shopping car park and checking different cars rearview mirror arm housings, I stopped my choice on Renault-type like used in that link russ331 posted ( of Renault Twingo ). Actually many Renault-s uses it. So I bought one and starting experimenting.
My idea was to built in two Mobius narrow ( A-lens ) with narrow-angle lens settings in order to get objects as close as possible. I do like to have wide FOV and B-lens is doing good job, but objects are furtherer than with A-lens.
So I wanted 2 in 1: ultra-wide FOV but at the same time objects to be closer. I came up with idea mounting into front a two Mobius A-lens under certain angle, so in total combined they will cover 160-200 degree horizontal from side to side ,where left lens would be adjusted to record more left side and right lens more right, - this all would need experimenting with angles . You can see my idea from pictures. Renault mirror arm housing would paint in black so it will match my car interior colour and lens will not be that noticeable if mounted on grey housing as it is now. Renault arm housing fits 95% into my projects, just some minor cutting / filing need to be done along with other bits-and-pieces. Unfortunately due to lack of time this project still pending.
Also I was testing size of Panorama II would also fit into that housing for stealth mount , because Pano2 CMOS is connected to PCB via about 2" cable ( not soldered directly to PCB ), so it could also be adjusted and positioned accordingly ( sorry for stealing thread with last two pictures ).

Maybe somebody might want to do something similar with using two Mobius extension lens, which for me looks good idea, just need time to finish it

Nice, Niko I also thought about double Mobius idea. It would really be wide and close. I love your creativity, your not afraid to try new things. Thanks for sharing

Thanks.
Glad we have a look-a-like ( similar ) thoughts.
We ( DCT members ) all here contribute by sharing ideas and thinking outside of the box, some time maybe "silly" ideas, which can lead to new discoveries. Thats why I like DSC community friendly family spirit and respect to other not native english-speaking people

These looks neat and allot smaller than the one posted here earlier (though it's not clear from the photo which end of the cable the adaptor is at (assume middle..?)):

In line fuse with this one:

This one it's not clear what the output current is and the cable is short..

Earlier one posted looked a bit like this (we don't really need 3A out here..)

I've read many adverse comments about dx.com & very few compliments. I'd shop elsewhere if possible.

I think this would be of interest at http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/forums/motorcycle-cameras.41/

Motorcyclists who would like to see your helmet cam may not think of looking in this thread.

Good luck with dodging the showers.

Any video?

 

[denver2013]

i saw the case when they release it but for me to use it,i will have to use a higher mounting and drill for the external mic whire so it wont be whaterproof anymore
like i have it now it doesnt look like an antena on the helmet,and its small.
olso i wont make videos on rain. even with the whaterproof case on,because of the rain drops on the glass,i wont be able to see anything on the videos.
