    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    That's fantastic to hear! It does hang down a bit, but I couldn't think of another way to get a decent picture out the back. I bump mine every now and again, but like you, I just bend it back, so far it doesn't seam any worse for the wear. I'm sorry the screw didn't work, I'm guessing that...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    I just saw your post, sorry about the delay. I designed the rear dashcam mount in the thread above and printed the one 97BlackAckCL used in his vehicle. I'll be happy to print the parts for you but I am afraid I don't have any more of the screws I used and I don't recall the dimensions, but...

    I can't speak to the 900S being a worthwhile upgrade, because I haven't owned the 750S but my 900S has been working very well for a year or so. I'm a satisfied customer.

    This is a fantastic write up, nicely done! Sorry it took me 4 months to see it... Are you happy with the rear mount, has it lived up to expectation over the past four months?

    The base of the mount is sized to fit the Blackvue 900s and 750s but it may very well fit others, I just don't have any to measure. If you want to try your hand at editing my files, https://www.tinkercad.com is a great easy software to get started, Fusion 360 is another that is fantastic but far...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    Quite the opposite, they fit very tightly together. Not totally unworkable, but not elegant. The second iteration is merely an improvement. The original files worked fine and are what I'm using, but I printed a second and had issues fitting them together so I increased the clearances on the...

    Awesome! Please share your thoughts once you have it printed. One note, I made some changes to make the parts fit a little bit better together and uploaded updated files yesterday. If you downloaded the earlier files I highly recommend downloading the updated ones.

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    Happy to help, the whole process was pretty smooth and you are correct, the rear camera plugs into the front camera, as does the power. I ran the power to front camera along the drivers side and then ran the rear camera wire along the passenger side. I tucked the excess wire into the D pillar...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    I actually opted to go with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L3VCDNF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and just routed it up the a pillar and over to the mirror. I'd say getting the front cam installed and wired took no more that 20 minutes. It was a breeze and...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    I'm hardly opposed to such an arrangement, my only reservation is getting the right fastener to attach the whole rig to the roof. I had to scrounge my collection of random bolts and screws to find one the right size. Other than that, I've got all the other parts. How does $40 sound, shipped...

    Sample video from rear dashcam mounted on 3D printed arm Here's a link to some sample footage taken on the beltway. It's perhaps not the most exciting, or bumpy but in the short time I've had the mount attached and adjusted it's the best I've got at present. I can post another down the...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    Thanks for the compliment! You're most welcome on the design. I've printed numerous designs from others and felt it only right to give a little back. What do you mean by power mirror? The front cam is mounted directly to the front windshield using the bracket supplied with the dashcam. That...

    New Dashcam Install - Blackvue DR900S-2CH

    The video appears rock solid over any of the roads in the DC area (and we have our fair share of potholes). I totally understand the apprehension though, I was concerned about it myself. I'll upload a video to Youtube and post the link a little later today. The camera assembly is extremely...
