Rear View Mirror Style Car Video Camera Recorder

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

Been using the X1000 front and rear cameras for a few weeks. Very pleased with the video quality and ease of downloading onto computer for viewing. As a senior citizen (70+) it was easy to start using after the professional hardwired installation. The few questions I had, Thinkware customer service answered very quickly for me via email and chat. My car already has driver assist features so I am not using those features that come with this camera. I wanted the video quality to be super in detail, sharpness, lighting, etc. so I could see as much detail as possible. This camera delivers on those needs. Love the parking recording feature. Liked it so much, that I just ordered another camera for our second car.

I recently dove into the video with your dslr world. Video is great, but audio not so much. So using a recorder - Zoom h4n, a good combination was made. But when the recorder is connected to the camera on the hotshoe, the screen it facing up. This makes it hard to see levels and changes things if needed if i need to view the video at the same time. In comes this handy device - The hotshoe mount. Now once this is connected to the hotshoe of the camera, I can angle the Zoom on the ball mount, allowing it to face me directly so I can view my levels and video at the same time. I'm thinking of buying additional mounts, as it has many other uses other than just sitting on the hotshoe of a camera.

I also picked up this camera for the rear of my car and it nice and compact enough that you can fit anywhere.

Feeding Audio from A recorder to a Video camera.

This is my second dash camera from Garmin. I use it for a rear view. The size is phenomenal. It doesn't attract attention. Very good software. Voice commands are very well designed and functional. It syncs with the front camera and works very well with the parking cable. The image quality is pretty good.. Higher resolution would require a lot more disk space.

As a part time investigator, I often have to move my video camera from one side of the car to the other. The Car Window Mount by Nikon is simple and easy to use at night. Adjustments may be made easily without having to look for the controls.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

I purchased this for a video adapter for a mirror-less FUJI camera, installed it easily. There were many higher costs options, but do not do that many videos so wanted a lower cost option. This did the job and glad I purchased it.
