Well pleased with the quality on the Mini 0801. Seems well constructed enough, still need to figure out the GPS timezone thingy. Hope I have some good videos to post soon.

No video since I'm at work but I passed a semi dragging what appeared to be a blowout, sparks flying everywhere off the steel belts. Amazing that he was truckin along at 80mph, have to imagine another truck would have told him over the CB.

ltr posted:I've got a G1W and would love a visor mount, tried finding one online today with little success. Because of some little black bumps on my windshield near the rearview mirror, I can't mount it up near the mirror so it has to be more towards the passenger side and is really noticeable and ugly. It's far enough over that I can see about 1/2 the screen on the back while driving. I stopped using it for now because it's in such a bad position. If I could move it over 3 inches towards the center and a little up, it would be so much better. Here's a picture: The Mini 0801 is great and super small.

tuna posted:I recently got a mini 0801 and it's great. Mine is slightly blurry on the left side probably because of a lovely lens but I don't care. I'd also advise getting the non-gps version because the GPS version imprints your speed into the video at all times and it is horribly inaccurate (and incriminating). The sound is poo poo but I'm sure they all are. This is only true if you use the built in viewer. The .mov files can be played in any player with no GPS coordinates. Edit: Anyone want to buy a Mini 0801 w/ GPS? I've got 2 due to an ordering mixup, brand new.

I still love my Mini 0801. It's worked fine the entire time I've had it, no issues with the memory card. Very small, I can hide it behind the rearview mirror very easily and it has built-in GPS as well. Quality seems on par with the other 1080p cams out there.

I don't think there is any consensus on the best cam. The mobius, mini 0801 and others are all really similar.

Negromancer posted:This. Doesn't matter how in the right you are, if you get a cop who is pissed off they will find a reason to arrest/make your day suck. Did it come with the 12v adapter? Whatever that length is, I used all but about 6-8 inches in my Golf. If you're having trouble keeping the cord up under the headliner at the windshield, I put a hearty zip tie on it, cut off the excess and put that under the headliner. Since its thicker there the cord doesn't come down. It's easier to run it on the outside of the A pillar instead of the inside, as well.

A couple that I picked up recently, nothing too crazy. I love me some horn apparently. Yield signs? What yield signs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKGKYFqd_zw Dodge no signal lane change, bonus MB doing their best Autobahn impression on the toll. I was probably doing around 85mph so I'd put him at over a ton. He proceeded to ride some Mini's rear end and then was gone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw9RD4uhBjk

Craptacular posted:In the first video yeah if the other guy was a either a little faster or a little slower it would have been nice, but poor yielding like that from other drivers is literally an everyday occurrence. Right lane is an exit only just a bit up, if you don't get over immediately you're likely to get blocked out. I'm coming down off a flyover. I wouldn't even call the first one poor yielding, the guy didn't have a clue they were there.

GENDERWEIRD GREEDO posted:I dunno I think trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle is a pretty good reason to scrape a guard rail. It is their fault for not executing the move perfectly because they're not a pro at Gran Turismo 5 or something though I guess. I can almost 100% guarantee it'll be an at fault ax for the car for a faulty evasive action from the insurance companies perspective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8mf9o4boM Saw a guy lose it during the weekends rain. Starts about 2:15 in - you can see a the spray from the opposite side of the highway from all the standing water. I'm not sure what happened to this guy, going to wager there was a bit of standing water and poor tires involved.

Ran into this genius tonight. When I passed her later she was clutching the steering wheel like a chupmunk, face about an inch away from the top of the wheel trying to make a turn. I'm sure they heard the airhorn but decided to keep on trucking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43HliIZ-OYU

Laserface posted:OK so if you hit that guy, whos at fault? Depends on your statement. If you're a moron and give the "they came out of nowhere!!!" then you're likely to have some negligence. If you're real dumb and say you saw them but took no evasive action because you had the right of way. (this has happened) you may wind up being majority at fault. If you brake and attempt to avoid the accident but can't because they pulled out too close, not much you can do. Some carriers have hard ons for putting negligence on everyone for everything, and if you're in a contributory state you better have your own coverage to go through.

The Locator posted:It's really quite clear cut, unless you hand them dash cam footage of you being stupid and going "Yee-haw" as you accelerated into him, he turned left in front of oncoming traffic. He is fully at fault here in AZ. It wouldn't even be a question as he failed to yield to oncoming traffic. If it's illegal to make a u-turn there based on the laws where you are with that pavement marking, then that makes it even more clear cut. Its illegal but failing to keep a lookout can net you some share of the liability anywhere in the country. Not the case here since he avoided the accident but industry wide the shared liability percentage is on the rise as insurance companies look to be more cost effective to offer better rates.

Looks like my dashcam's sound has crapped out, but video still working. 55mph access road, left two lanes are turn only (Uturn & regular left). Not unexpected for people to realize they're in the wrong lane coming off the highway and dart over, but this person had came from the far right lane originally, into a turn lane. When they came over I braked but figured they'd keep going straight vs. stopping at a green light. When I passed later they looked me and looked confused why I was honking at them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFYNIUgYDg0

sharkytm posted:Yeah, I've seen your sample videos. How clear are license plates in front? Both your videos have no cars in front of you. FWIW I've had a Mini 0801 for over 2 years mounted constantly in Texas. I was expecting the heat to kill it, but it keeps trucking. Every once in awhile (once a month maybe?) it doesn't turn on but it's easy to look at the LED and see the status. If you mount it behind the rear view you can't even see the screen.

Since you don't have any collision coverage your company has no legal way to pay and then subro, so yeah, you're on your own. If you win a small claims judgement against the other driver they'll pay up but never admit liability. I could maybe see them applying some shared liability since you saw them creeping out and didn't stop (last clear chance, improper lookout), but 50% is way too much. What state are you in? This determines the negligence type the state uses. I'd escalate past your adjuster to their sup, manager, etc. Squeaky wheel.

Zero VGS posted:He was taking a left out of a side street and I was on the main road, and he does come to a complete stop, which is when I figure "typical Masshole driver pulls out really far" and proceed past him. But I could see he had his head turned all the way to his left, like I was more or less in his blind spot the whole time because my car is so short. MA is a modified comparative 50/50 state. What that means is both parties can collect if they are equal to or less at fault than the other party. In essence, by saying its 50/50 they can pursue you for half of their insureds damages, which is contingent on their insured having collision coverage. If their insured was 51% or more at fault (in their eyes) then they couldn't collect from you. Your insurance won't make a payment to you since you don't have coverage, and since they haven't paid they have no way to legally recover the damages through subro. When I said escalate it up, that's through their company. If you aren't getting responses timely then look up your states department of insurance. Stuff starts moving much faster when they are potentially looking at fines or state actions taken. I'd hold off on filing suit until you go through the department of insurance. They're less likely to play ball. If you do file small claims court know those type of fees aren't reimbursable. The court is looking at real damages caused to you and making you whole. Putting a bunch of stuff comes across as a money grab and makes you less credible. Literally Lewis Hamilton fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 19, 2016 |

I would put a lot of negligence on the car pulling forward. It's clear as days what's happening and the car beside them is able to avoid the accident, which doesn't bode well for a defense that you did everything you could to avoid the accident. Hell it looks like they never even braked and were trying to play chicken. Edit: ok they braked, but there is almost a solid 3 seconds between the van turning before they brake.

I have some 3m double sided tape that has held up for over a year in Texas, outside during work hours. I bet their Velcro equivalent would hold up equally well. I cleaned the glass and applied it when the glass was pretty warm and applied pressure for about 5 minutes.
