Can the windshield mount be used to record video facing out the windshield with a large phone like the iPhone 6 plus?

It works for large or small phones. Yes you can record from the windshield mount. It's all about the placement of the phone.

Much like a GPS unit, you can use the suction cup mount to attach it to the dash. I'm not sure if this unit comes with it, but most GPS units come with a small, plastic piece that adheres to your dash. That's where the suction cup attaches. With that said, I'm not sure how well it will work on the dash. My camera is mounted to the windshield and I'm not sure if it would record very well mounted to the dash.

I have the Bracketron mounting device and use it only for a windshield video cam a few times per year. Since it works well for that application I'm not able to help other than to say I use my Garmin mounting device and have never had it release from the windshield.

My camera was that small too. I wouldn't use this product with that. If you are going to put it on the windshield it just puts the camera too close to windshield to position the camera.

Absolutely! That is exactly why I got this baby. Works really well. It records in 15 min increments so if you need to use the footage you don't need a ton of editing. Mine came with the attachment to mount it to the dash, along with the belt clip and headband mount. Mine also came with waterproof case too.

The phone can rotate and face ether way. The mounting is like a large clip that will rotate 360 degrees so you can see the screen in front of the camera or behind..

yes it can be viewable using any apple product and android, not sure about windows phones as they have a very limited selection of apps to view dvr/ nvr recorders

I am using it on my Galaxy S3 and is wider than the Flip. So I think it should fit. But I am not familiar it Flip as far as recording sideway. I know some handheld video cam cannot record sideway.

Hi Eddie. I used it to recorded some videos at a recent track day. Links to videos at https://www.facebook.com/Jmediaphotography?ref=hl I'm looking at getting longer arms, you'll notice in one of the videos you can see the suction part of the mount still.

I would believe so, there's an App for android that lets me view it from anywhere should I choose too. So I assume the Apple one does the same. The weakness of the camera is that I don't believe you can record video. It's pretty much live view or motion alerts/snapshots.

You should be able to, depending on where you place the mount, of course. The only drawback that I can see is the fact that, when you turn the handlebars, the phone(camera) is going to turn when the handlebars turn.

You can't use a traditional tripod, but might be able to use one that grips like a phone windshield mount if you can find one small enough.

No you cannot. It can only play back recorded video via a local wifi signal, which means you have to be relatively close.

I suppose it could, but its not going to be the most effective because of its size and likely the camera weight on top of it. If it were me, I'd look for a more conventional method such as a smaller camera that's designed for such an application.

Not without an adapter of some sort. It has the standard screw like any tripod. I searched Amazon and saw several tripod mounts for iPhones however if you actually saw this device you would see how awkward it would be such a set up. I also think the weight of the phone would cause it to spin around upside down.

It cannot when installed as directed: there is only one camera on this unit and it is designed to face the road. Other dashcams are available, however, that are designed to film both the passenger cabin (and sometimes by inclusion, part of the area behind the vehicle via the rear window) and the roadway in front of the vehicle at the same time; this just isn't one of them.

No, I just tried it. As soon as the iPhone camera starts recording it stops the recording in the Rode app. You need to shoot your video on a separate device.
