Yes, I meant obstruction when looking through my rear view mirror. This is particularly an issue in this car as the rear half of the roof slopes significantly downward (it’s a coupe).
From the cam’s perspective, of the three viewpoints (#1.2, #1.1 and #2), the video quality is best with the latter two. In #1.2, the cam angles upward slightly too much, a problem
@Dashmellow wedge suggestion would solve (I would still be dealing with the line of sight of issue there, unfortunately).
Another reason I like option #2 best is due to its simplicity. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become more and more fascinated (perhaps obsessed is a more honest word) with finding what I call “optimal simplicity”, especially when aesthetics are involved. There’s a level of quality or purity that I find really appealing in the most simple solutions, even though more complicated alternatives might offer marginally better results. In this particular case, I love the fact that my car’s manufacturer decided to leave enough space for me to wedge in my Mobius, which is literally all I did—no mounts, adhesives, magnets, metal plates, etc.—and it so happens the view is perfect, the cam is virtually invisible from outside and I see no part of it in my rear view mirror. There’s just so much I love about that.
