Thinkware U1000 4K day time footage

[Sir Loin]

Bought it on Amazon (blackboxmycar). Very easy to install as I already have a F770 and a Cellink B battery installed so I don't have to rerun the wires. Pretty good 4K quality.

You may wish to adjust the camera downward a tad bit. You have too much sky showing.

Any lower I will have too much hook and dash. Pick your poison. Adjusting downward will not get me more side view.

That is why it is normal to mount the camera higher up on the windshield.

Generally you should not have the horizon lower than half way up the image, because if you do then the auto exposure will be setting the exposure for the sky instead of the road. Hence the advice, although the exposure doesn't seem too bad in this sample.

Here is how your U1000 sees the road.


For some reason the hood area was concerned to be very important here.
