Asked shpkorea how much optional suction cup will cost - $20! Does it contain any precious metals?..
Thats not expensive for high quality mount.
It is Arkon brand, same that Garmin uses. Not cheap one.
I discussed with shpkorea about mount and pricing, why he will not offer lower quality accessories ?.
His replay was that he does not want to put his ( or product ) name on the line. Selling cheap accessories for quality dash cams ( or any other dash cams ) is never a good idea.
There has been many cases where cheap suction cup mount falls off ,especially when car parked or goes from cold-hot-cold, or condensation on inner wide-screen or any other scenario.
Yes, you can find matching suction mount for 5usd and in 99% cases it will hold fine, but try to imagine that 1% if in the very important moment where you need to capture accident with your car or any other surrounding accident, your dash camera fall down and you will not have any crucial recording. Later you will be blaming yourself ( and other people as well will blame you ) of being cheap and not spending extra 15usd on higher quality mount. It is worth adding extra 10% to get quality accessories, its only skipping 3 pints of beer in the pub
Hope you understand my point.
I totally support shpkorea way of thinking. I has been through many cases with different gadgets / accessories purchase where I was cheap ( saving / buying cheapest ), but later blaming myself and still needed to buy later on expensive one.
- I expected something like $10-12
