Review on ISaddle Rearview Handlebar Recorder Blackbox by Nick Walker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The tab was too long; needed to be filed to fit

My wife has a new car and it made sense for me to change dash cams. Unfortunately the mirror mount I had was too short so I was happy to find this 'extended' mirror mount at a reasonable price. Он прибыл сегодня (на день позже, но я уверен, что это не вина этого поставщика), и я ожидал, что это будет 30-секундная операция - прикрепите зажим к стержню зеркала, вставьте язычок в паз на видеорегистратор, затяните все, и покончим with this. I kept trying to get my tongue in the groove but just couldn't. Finally, I compared the size of this tab to the tab on the shorter transom mount, and in fact the tab is about 1/16 inch longer so it doesn't fall into the groove. hard, I suppose I could snap the sides of the cutout and then have a practically useless DVR.) The plastic is too hard to cut 1/16 inch with a utility knife so I took a file and sanded it down. enough for the now shorter tongue to fit in the notch. It took me about 10 minutes and I'm drenched in sweat because either there isn't a standard for tongue size or this manufacturer went for a custom tongue size. - The position of the nest was a bit tricky to piece together while working in the air (as I already had the clip attached to the transom and was waiting for the tab to fit) but luckily managed a few false starts without any parts getting pinched in the dashboard vents. :) The DVR (it's a G1W-C) seems to fit snugly in the mount and I expect it won't cause any problems, but my goodness, if you make a mistake, make the protrusion a little *smaller *, not *bigger*!

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • easy maintainability
