The only problem I've found with those cheaper Chinese made ones is that they almost universally have a gap between each and ever clip, and when they start over on the card the gap is even worse. Does your dashcam suffer from this as well?

Here's one from this morning:

Was this also with the Blackvue 400hd? If so I have to get one of those.

You can take it off and re-apply. You should have a back-up sticker in the box as I did.

Heat up the mount with a hair dryer, gently checking by moving it till you feel it move a little, then use a razor blade and scrape underneeth. My brother owns an autoglass shop so he removes and installs rearview mirrors all the time, which is similar to this.

I didn't notice any huge delays between the 2min clips, but I never stitched them together into a movie either. Make sure you always use a class 10 card in ANY of these cameras. Class 4 won't cut it.

a trick i learned from the gopro people... the hair dryer first to heat it up but then some dental floss to get under... has always worked great for me

Sweet vids man, God dam drivers from jersey/conn. need to learn how to drive. The bus drive probably lives in jearsy.

I think I saw you driving on the west side highway Thursday at around 12-1AM

That's funny. In Massachusetts we can not stand Connecticut drivers. They are absolutely terrible
