Not sure if this qualifies as a hijack, but what the hell...

Yeah I saw that RVM clip too and liked it a lot, but it seems to really block a bit of the windshield which I don't like and it's also pretty obvious IMHO; sort of screams 'steal me'. The other company that makes a similar product seems to have a better design, at least it looks that way, in that the V1 still hangs under the RVM, but just barely so and even hangs at a bit of an angle to be less obstructive. Unfortunately the mount doesn't work with BMW RVM's. Too bad.

A couple of thoughts...

- I personally would prefer a mount as high up as possible and between the RVM and passenger visor, but I still need laser support. So don't know how bad that will affect it.
- I haven't decided if I want a mount that permanently holds the V1 or a quick release setup to be able to lock it in the glovebox. What I don't want is it getting stolen by a parking attendant. Ask me how I know.
- I am absolutely stunned that with the success of the V1 and all the engineering of the Stealth One that no one has developed a remote rear laser option that could mount on the back windshield or similar spot, thus allowing one to mount the V1 any way they want in front without losing rear laser protection.

In the meantime, I'm still hunting for a solution; that's why your note intrigued me!
