My UV glue should be arriving any day now. If the locking ring fits the housing, plan on using both.
I have used a locking ring to set a lens position so that it is not loose in the mount. It relies on friction though and I fear it could work loose over time, especially with repeated hot/cold cycles.If the locking ring works, why bother with the glue?

I would also like to use a dab of glue as an additional measure to prevent unintended lens rotation, especially when removing a lens cap for example. Some caps are a tight fit, such as on the Mobius D lens.
Viofo / GitUp use both locking rings and glue in their cameras.

Was thinking of tightening the ring and applying glue to hold it in place.
As your post suggests, this stuff isn't very strong. A few blobs or even smearing it around the locking ring should work well.

Very interesting. I see this sort of action all the time, unbelievable! Only difference here is I see it on I-270 from my home to Frederick, MD. The impact to ones brain is worse here because they do it at 65 to 80 mph, if you beep at them to wake them out of their trance you invariably get the finger!Interesting to see her car weaving back and forth in the lane. Obviously, she was looking at the mirror on the back of her sun visor, so she wasn't watching the road. Amazing!
Reminds me of something I witnessed a few years ago on the two lane road into town from where I live out in the countryside. A small burgundy colored sedan was coming towards me from the opposite direction and it was weaving back and forth in the lane. At first, I thought the driver was impaired. Then, as it got closer I saw a teenage girl looking intently at her rear view mirror which she had tilted down so she could see herself in it. While looking at herself in the mirror she was holding a cell phone to her ear with her right hand and primping her hair with her left hand. So, while driving at about 40 mph against oncoming traffic in the opposite lane she wasn't watching the road in front of her vehicle at all, couldn't see the road behind her because of tilting the rear-view mirror AND had both hands off the steering wheel!
