Milk Run
« on: April 30, 2024, 08:13:09 PM »
I accidentally turned my phone's camera on while I was putting it in the Quadlock at the supermarket this afternoon, and was pleasantly surprised at the clarity of the picture through the windscreen. So I tried the video function...

I decided to see how it would go as a dashcam and ended up with this. Way to shaky to be much use, and a fair bit of wind noise. But for what it is worth, for anyone with twenty minutes to waste, here is my run home from the shop today.

Keep the dirty side down.

It's a hard watch, a coupla of snippets was enough for me.  The roads are pretty rough, or you need a wheel balance.

Road at the beginning is pretty rough, but it was also shaking around on the end of a Ram mount arm.

I flicked through your video and it didn't seem too bad considering...  :thumbs

Do you have one of those vibration dampening Quad Locks, Dave?

I do, Rusty, but the Ram mount arm jumps around a bit.

I am now looking at a dahscam set-up for it so that the phone can do it's own job.
