Will this unit remain stable, as I am swerving along winding roads at high speeds? I want to take some video while driving along Highway 1 in California in my Corvette.

This unit is mainly used in heavy-duty work pickups and there has never been a problem with it shifting or falling from the dash. We are very pleased with how it functions.

Yes, it should stay on the dashboard if you drive responsively. Find the flattest part of the dashboard. However, device is surprisingly stable on curved surfaces. But don't drive erratically. It can fall if you do.

Sure, as long as you have uninterrupted power to it.... like a cigarette lighter plug that stays on when the key is off. When you first turn it on the little screen on the back is lit and stays lit for maybe 10 or 15 seconds. Then it goes black but the camera is still recording. However, there is a little light on the bottom right corner that is usually blue but can be a mixture of blue and red when it's charging. That's the only indication that it's on. I plug mine into a under the seat power plug and just pull it half way out when parking. Then I push it back in the next time I drive and the camera comes on automatically. I love this little camera and bought one for one of my boys and he too loves it. The video from this little guy is awesome. Remember, if you have it positioned looking through the windshield it won't video the cop but it will record the dialog... the video will be whatever is right in front of you. I looked a long time before deciding on this camera and the instruction manual is very clear even if written in Asia. Be sure and order the memory chip when you order the camera. You can select the length of recording up to 5 minutes long and then a new clip starts automatically and has several of the last video's closing frames. This makes it very easy to find a particular clip for a particular time. It records several days of data. It also has GPS that stamps your speed etc. on the video. Like I said, awesome. I don't believe you'll be disappointed if you get this little guy. If you want to be totally stealthy you could put a tiny piece of black tape over the little blue light, or paint it but it's only like maybe 1/8" in diameter and not very bright. The audio picks up every sound in the car. You can listen to your tunes all over again when viewing the clips! Good luck!

We just got this device about a month ago, so I cannot answer that. So far, so good. We have it in our jeep on the dash with no bracing and are using it to drive around the city. It does not move. We love it. Hope this helps somewhat.

It works for me. I'm always taking driving videos. I stick the pole with the GoPro attached and its holds up as long as you keep a tight grip on the handle.

I did not notice much degradation of the video. However, I have 600tvl cameras so they aren't great to begin with. Also, if you are not running it along a way, make sure you support the cable, mine sagged and finally snapped under the weight of it spanning a 75ft gap from my house to our chicken coop.

I have had no issues so far with this unit. So far it has performed well. I still have not tried the RV specific part of the unit yet (where you put in the RV size and it keeps you off of roads you shouldn't be on) but expect that to change in the coming year.

Yes, stable as with vibration and up/down motion. I would recommend separating the positioning of the monitors so they are not touching when the vehicle is in motion. You could just separate the two monitors by about 6 inches on the swivel and maybe put a soft bumper between them when moving. However, they should be safe from any damage otherwise. Hope this is helpful. Steve

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

It's a great little unit. Be aware it DOES drift out of sync over time. You can use third party software to correct for it in editing or speed up the audio file in your editing system by 100.008%. Not a problem for videos less than about 15 minutes...no corrections necessary. Anything longer and you'll need to compensate for it. Otherwise it's a very useful and versatile device....I love it.

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it

Don't really understand what your asking. I use this pole snowboarding at high speeds and have put it through some horrific abuse and not a scratch. I'll assume that if you were to hold it out the window of a moving car it would do just fine. If you mean to "roll the car", I'll assume it would be destroyed along with the camera. Hope that helped. Try to be more specific next time.

I used in with my iPhone 4S in my Nissan Frontier and video was very good. I use Filmic Pro app for my video recording. It was very pretty bouncy when i used it on my motorcycle.

Yes, it will. But its low quality and unstable. So i'm not using it when i'm on the road.

Yes it will. You'll be able to utilize the backup camera in forward. Watch overhead DVD on the radio Nav and also access the Nav functions while driving. Of course for the passengers convenience

My car rides smoothly on highways, but I haven't noticed any significant shaking on rougher roads with it holding a Garmin Nuvi 2555 (5" screen). You cannot shorten the cable without taking the lighter plugin part apart. I just wrapped the excess cable around the holder.

My camera has a very good recording quality and wide angle, good match for semi truck perfect for cars, the recording mode pre wired on the camera is by movent change such as hard breaking or going over a bump and as far as memory card I haven't used a 32 gb yet but as far as I know it takes, I use a 16 gb and it record all day and once is full it records over. The only down side to the camera is that the part that comes to attach on windshield is a glue based and with weather change can fall like it happen to, I have been using Valcro to keep camera up.

Yes. It will also zoom in or out and can take still pics as well. I drive a lot on bad roads and the video is much better than you think. Is a great tool to have in ur car for an outstanding price. The only draw back is a 32 bit memory card will only record for about 3 to 4 hours before it is full. Try a 64 bit card for 6 to 8 hours of continues recording. Hope this helps!
