That is unfortunate!! If you want to avoid insurance you could probably pick up another fender in a junkyard somewhere and bolt it on.

Well, I have the guys insurance, and it was his fault. Out of curiosity, how hard is it to remove the front fender?

Yeeeah, I'm finding that out. holy crap.

I will say that a backup battery is necessary if you're going to record 1080p or higher at 60fps or higher. 1440p is fun, but man, it's a resource hog. I did a little 5-minute vid of my dog and it's understandably a huge file, but it sucks the battery too.

Truthfully though, it takes really good quality videos. It'll work. I picked up a clamp mount for various under-car shots, along with a front helmet mount. I am thinking about picking up a mount for the roof of the car as well. I may have to get creative if I try and record myself going at high speeds. Don't want it coming off after the $$$ I spent on it.

Don't record and post incriminating evidence.

Nah, I'm talking about track days and special events. I'm going to the Terlingua event in October and might have the opportunity to see if I can get the car over 200mph. That will likely require some special equipment to keep the camera on the car. Not sure a sticky on the back of the mount is gonna cut it.

I am very much considering using it as a personal monitor inside the car when I drive. I can record in lower resolutions and get more mileage out of the storage/battery, and can transfer any data to my PC or a removable drive to clear it every day.
