Now 13th month is just around the corner, I can confidently commit na to buy a replacement cam.

But I'm still torn between G1W and SJCAM 4000.

I think it's really inevitable that the battery will bloat when exposed to direct sunlight in a hot cabin all day. Since the battery has bloated, I had to remove the front housing of the SJ4000 as well as the screws of the circuit board to be able to pry out the battery.

On another note, does anyone have an idea how I can attach a dashcam onto my Mazda? This is how the rearview mirror and housing of the auto-light and rain sensor looks like:

There are 2 main problems in that layout:

1. The stalk of the rearview mirror is too short. I can't do what I did with my Toyota wherein I used a bike mount to latch it on the stalk, like this:

2. The housing for the rain/light sensor is big enough to hold my suction cup, but it's a rough surface, so the suction cup cannot grip onto it. I've also tried using double sided tape as well as packaging tape, but both don't stick either.

Since I don't wanna damage my tint by using a suction cup directly on the windshield, I'm still unable to mount a dashcam on my Mazda. I'd be grateful to hear any ideas. [emoji4]

gamitin mo yung pang helmet mount at idikit sa likod ng rear view mirror.

Rough surface. 3M adhesive doesn't stick at all. [emoji20]

Both have the same video quality since both have the same exact hardware. The advantage of the sjcam is, it doubles as a action cam.
