[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 697170, member: 4527"] [B]Modify E-Prance 1080p Dashcam[/B] recently got myself this e-prance GS608 1080p dashcam from amazon that a friend had suggested. [ATTACH=full]34778[/ATTACH] [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FKTQ3NE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/url] records upto hi-def 1080p but found afew issues. 1st is the flimsy weak mount which allows it to shake all over in my car. the higher spec models have a sturdier adhesive short mounting block to reduce shaking but imo the mounting point is poor. 2nd is the awful non-existing audio. even in my subtly loud cabin I barely hear the road noise in the clip. 3rd is the massive raw AVI file. my spare 4gb microsd barely handles 20min so I'll either get a 32gb stick or just plug it my laptop as a webcam n record in video edit software at the ideal format [ATTACH=full]34765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34766[/ATTACH] here's the tiny mounting point [ATTACH=full]34772[/ATTACH] remove the cosmetic cover to reveal the screws [ATTACH=full]34779[/ATTACH] unscrew the cover [ATTACH=full]34774[/ATTACH] the ratcheting mount collar pops off [ATTACH=full]34777[/ATTACH] carefully split open the casing which is just clipped together and then disassemble the circuitry [ATTACH=full]34767[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34776[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34768[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34769[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34770[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34771[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34773[/ATTACH] to try improve the muffled sound I drilled the pinhole into a large 4mm hole the size of the mic itself. retested the sound and there's near no difference so I think its a software issue [ATTACH=full]34775[/ATTACH] to improve the shaking, rather than rely on the puny plastic collar mount and long thin suction cup arm, instead I'll support the whole camera body onto my sturdy metal suction cup. so first I made this wooden adaptor on my pillar drill. the 4 outer holes for scrwing onto the existing screwhols on the case and the middle hole is for screwing onto the cam mount thread plus for accessing the camera power button. [ATTACH=full]34760[/ATTACH] drill some new screw holes in the casing [ATTACH=full]34761[/ATTACH] screw the adapter on [ATTACH=full]34762[/ATTACH] then screw the assembly onto my cam mount [ATTACH=full]34763[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34764[/ATTACH] and now it's much much stiffer and doesn't shake [ATTACH=full]34781[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]34780[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
