Both cameras are featured similarly , priced very close to each other .
Both cameras dont deal with flare / reflection very well .
The G90 GPS function is rather slow to fire up .
The G90 mount is a little flimsy and sometimes I notice some extra Vibration in the video
The G90 microphone is some what weak , so I leave it off
The Mini 0805 microphone is relatively ok , so I have left it on .
The Mini 0805 screen flickers a lot

I have two comparison video's , full frame HD and one side by side ( ok one on top the other ) .

That music could very easily cause road rage :devil:

Maybe start just one thread, and add to it instead of a new one each time.

I have the G90C, great cam, shittest windscreen mount suction cup that ever graced this planet.

Yeah , dont put the mount on the window just right , and it falls off after a few hours ( G90 ) ..
Though if you get it right , almost nothing will move it ..
I read some where , a little Vaseline in the cup spread evenly and thinly , will have it stuck to the windshield like poop to a blanket ! ( So I read )

Fallen off plenty of times. And I make sure it is put on properly. Pressed on, held hard while moving the lever, and even left overnight. Falls off randomly. And when the windscreen gets cold, always falls off.

I've heard the vasoline trick before. I'm going to go one step further and silicone adhesive the damn thing to the windscreen.

Sika Flex. Next time you change your windscreen, take the camera off with a heavy duty scraper.

Yep might try that. Can always fishing line it off if needed.

Yup G90 mount is useless and dies completely after a while.

Pretty common fault.

Check out the Dome GS98C which has a better designed mount.
