Dashcam and a polarizing filter - 3D fix

After watching a few Russian dashcam compilations on Youtube, we bought a dashcam of our own. Traffic is not so violent here, but interesting non the less. We went to this site and followed the advice of the reviewer, Techmoan. Techmoan - Techmoan

The camera installed fine and the image quality is good. The only problem is a bit of reflection in the wind shield. We could put a black cloth on the dash, but that would not be practical. Then I thought a polarizing filter might do the trick. But who makes that small cpl filters? And one that fits this particular camera?



Solution:

Order a small cpl filter on ebay.
Remember your dashcam is wide angle
I ordered a 37 mm. Maybe too much...



Then find your local 3D printer person through: http//3D Hubs: Local 3D printing services and 3D Printers
And ask him/her to make you a cone shaped plastic part to your specification.

Something like this, just smaller



Glue the cone to the outside of the lens
Glue the cpl filter to the cone

Rotate cpl to reduce reflections.
