G'day, hopefully some of you camera/video/gopro experts can answer this for me.

I have a gopro black 3+ which I have mounted on a suction cup arm on the inside of the passenger window. The arm at full extension places the camera about 200mm inwards from the window.

If the weather is bright and sunny the footage through the windscreen is glarey and shit (inside cabin footage looks perfect).

Overcast conditions and footage outside is fine.

Tried different camera settings, none made any noticeable difference.

Do I need to adjust the arm so the camera sits very close to the passenger window that it's mounted on so it's exposed to more light?
This is the last experiment before I give up and just pray for cloudy days when I use the camera.

Am I expecting too much from any camera to film in these conditions or am I just doing it wrong?

This is the angle I am trying for.

Cheers.

P.S. Anyone who suggests I go and buy a Bullet HDpro2 - go fuck thyself.

Cheeky bastard.

Even on bright sunny days Russ?

Were you using the gopro suction mount?

I really love that angle as it captures everything like you are a passenger in the car with the driver...

Wait, just so we're clear, it's on the passenger window looking out the passenger window, or facing the windscreen?

Hehe your funny. Facing the windscreen mate.

Like in this vid, but this is not the gopro by the way. This is with the dildo.

Ahh. Right right. I don't have a 3+ but have a 3 and haven't had any problems with the camera in either that location or directly mounted on the windscreen looking out. The only time I've had glare and couldn't see outside was with the camera on the back windscreen looking forward into the cabin, and most of the problem was the dashboard reflecting on the windscreen (GC8, always noticed it).

EDIT: Buy a Bullet. Don't know why, just seems the thing to do. Also buy Motec, STi, 6 speed, and no Rota's.

Strap it to one of Russ's planes so he can drop it from 100 metres.

Directly on the windscreen is no issue, it's bringing it back that causes the problem. Further away from the windscreen the worse it gets.

Russ if your still about I've gone back and looked at some of your vids, no bright sunny days there mate.
