Default where'd you hear about the patents? What about prior art? I've seen a homemade camera mount on AW

that seems to pre-date the SPP one (as far as I know). don't know if that's the one that raised an issue about patents

Default i received a nice little email from Rennteck about it.

it would still not be the same product. it would just mount and the seat, and hold your camera. other companies sell similar products. we'll see. i'm still going to build my own this weekend and let you guys know whats up. i agree that it total bs, but whatever.

jeez, they waste no time. do they claim they have a patent or that it is pending?

Default one goes in the rear seat (check my pic poster) and yes, you can see

who's in the car and the road ahead of you. the other would mount on the front seat and show just the road ahead of you.
