I've currently got a trial escort from Jezza. Found a nice little speed trap near my house yesterday. Id about 8 runs through it with the escort. of those 8 runs, 5 times it picked up a camera 2-400 metres ahead depending on where it was mounted on my windscreen. For the other 3 runs, i manually held it vertical and it gave me on the best run 700 metres notice!

Can't wait to try out the V1

Did you try out the Whistler at the same time?

Yeah i gave the whistler a couple of runs, both times i just about passed it before i got any alerts from it. At best maybe 100-150 metres.

At least 500m on a Multi in Morley on my $80 Ebay Bel 990i. Normal mount!!!!

Now thats damn good value for money!!!!

Well after testing for a while now I can easily and happily say that the vertical bracket install is well worth the money for the huge improvement on signal strength you get on multinova. Saved again on the weekend and it gave me a good 500 mtrs notice I reckon. If you have a detector then buy Jez's bracket to go with it!

After using the vertical bracket for a test period I am convinced that my detector works much better than in the standard horizontal position.

Now the next issue is where to place it for hard wiring? It's currently low above the dash and off to the left of centre.

There seems to be no place to put it up high behind/next to the rear view mirror.

If you have a hard wired and verticle detector where do you have it placed?

When I had mine I had it going form the 12v ciggie lighter plug heading to the left under the plastic up and over the the crap in the passengers foot well and plugging into an telephone extension (attatched by a $2 coupler from Dickie smiths) cable and up under the plastic strip up the pillar and along the top of the windscreen with a small amount of black wire wrapping around the rearview mirror and into the unit just below the RVM.

Stealthy!

Not too sure how that would go with the vert bracket tho.
