Little lifehack for your front view camera.

[Wine_maker]

This is very interesting mount system for front view camera that I found somewhere in internet.

So this is our starting materials.
The carcam and standard mount system for wind shield.



and we need 2 small but powerful magnets that we cant find in broken HDD from your computer.



then we should grind down the mount hooks on the main mount system.



Then we cut off the power line to carcam and plump the + and - feed wires to the magnets



then glue them to the main mount system like this:



On the small fixing plate that fixed on camera we also glue 2 metal plates for magnets and also plumbs feeds wire on it.



then we fix the cam into small plate insert feed wire to the cam and just fix it on magnets.

So no need to tinker with wires when mount/unmount your carcam, plus you are insure against braking of plastic hooks also you mount and unmount cam by single move of one hand.

OMG would need a rocket scientists degree to even attempt this, but very interesting

So folks I made it for myself.
Very useful. Warning: don't confuse " +" with " -" and don't cross + magnet with - plate.
The tin (or lead) fixes on the hard disk magnets with no problem but on the metal plates from the same disk it wasn't fixed at all. So I just bent it with leaded wires.

PS. Chinese wires is sh@t!

Is it thick CA super glue

Is it thick CA super glue

Yes, it's Super glue from nearest shop.
Also I stick the stripe of electrical tape between metal plates.

Off topic but not, those same magnets are brilliant for tacking in sheet metal panels plates .

I have heaps of old HDDs, and never thought of stripping them for the magnets. Great idea!!

Also used on oil filters to attract dirt etc. how do the SD cards perform so close to the Magnets ?

[Adventurous]

SD Cards don't use a magnetic medium, so no impact at all!

Yap absolutely no problem for SD card.
