I'm considering buying the G1W. I'm assuming the mount is just some kind of standard suction-cup setup, is it simple enough to transfer the whole thing between vehicles? Sounds like it's easy enough to take the camera out, but I was thinking of using it across a few different cars. I read the mount can be quite fragile but that's about all I can find. For me, it'd be more for occasional hobby use than 24/7 recording (trackdays and event type things) so I wouldn't mind having the wire running into the cigarette lighter, but it's any kind of ordeal to transfer car-to-car it probably isn't worth it. It just sounds like it would beat my current setup of jamming a digital camera under the passenger head restraint and a lot cheaper than the dedicated track camera solutions I've seen. Also is it possible to disable the date/time stamp? (not exactly a deal-breaker)

I got my G1W (in brown) and I'm impressed! As with a few others, I'm looking for a visor mount, not had much success so far as most of the camera mounts I've seen are for some variation of the screw-on sort like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190897181553 The G1W uses some kind of slide-on plastic rectangle type mount (it's hard to describe, I suspect it has a name). I'd really like something similar to the linked mount, cheap and unobtrusive, but basically with the slide/click mount. Anyone come up with anything broadly similar?

My G1W has started making weird morse code type noises over the recordings, I'm guessing the mic has shifted and is now next to some internal stuff. Luckily the sound recording was pretty lousy anyway, so I've just muted it. As long as the video works I'm happy.

Nope! I did consider that, the sound is a little different to phone transmission though, more like background spaceship noises on some 70s sci-fi or an ancient modem. It's still recording sound, but it's drowned out by the weird noises. Not changed anything, it just started doing it one day. Tried hard-resetting, changing various config options without success.

Some old guy deciding to queue in traffic on his electric scooter today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dHJH6nu9d0 I'm familiar with the area and can offer no explanation.
