Probably I had the LCD turned on the whole time kaya uminit. Agree, distracting nga.

On my car, Im using DailyRoad Voyager on my Note3. With configurable temperature settings for overheat protection.
Unfortunately, since horizontal ang mounting sa windshield, nama magnify ng car mount ang vibration. Further complicated by the fact na narrow field of view ang note3 lens. And of course, tangal kabit since my windshield is not tinted. On the bright side, mas clear ang image as compared to dp220 on my suv.

Caps from 2 different sources - the first video is using CarOGear apps with a Note 4 and the other is with a DP220.

Here's mine, good thing the mount is quite secure, less jarring and movement on the video

Ill go with the fxd700 with rear cam, just need to save a little more

Hi Dreamur,

Puwede paki post ang mounting ng note4 mo?
Im curious, gumagalaw ang hood sa video, pero stable yung mga oto sa harap.

Sa akin kaso buong frame e nagwa wave dahil sa car mount vibration.

Bro, I dont use a mount for the smartphone. I use a cheap dashboard mat to hold it in place. I think it is either the stabilizer in the Note4 or the anti-flicker in the app.

longest drive ko around 5 hours taguig to la union. warm to the touch pero hindi naman nakakapaso. still working and no problems yung sj4000.

i usually drive taguig to laguna 3-3.5 hours tanghaling tapat, no issues din.

screensaver (lcd off) set to 3 mins.

i just remove the camera (pero iwan yung suction saka yung parang holder) whenever i park under the sun.

Warm lang din akin 3-5 hours driving na tirik na araw. Screensaver ko 30 secs lang at pag iiwan ko sa parking na katapat yung araw naglalagay ako ng sunshade then iwan lang yung cam.
