I've got a Vbox HD2 camera mounted high on the inside of my car's windshield, pointing forward. I've noticed that I'm getting a lot of reflections from the windshield, even though the camera is mounted quite close to the glass:
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to avoid this? I've got some ideas - namely, building a cone-shaped hood that would fit around the front of the camera and press against the glass - but I'm wondering what other people have tried.

I looked around a bit, and there are various CPL filters of many shapes and sizes. I asked Racelogic Support if a CPL filter will work with the camera - I don't see why it won't though.
Unfortunately, it didn't work: the Vbox lens is so wide angle that the edges of the CPL show up in the frame. I'm going to try a bigger CPL. The upside is that a bigger CPL might actually be easier to mount to the camera.

Yeah, I'm thinking a larger filter will be needed. I'm playing with ways to mount it to the front of the camera right now, using a 3D printed sleeve to holder the filter:
Of course, I could just go buy a piece of black felt to cut down on the reflections but what would the fun of that be?
Fast forward to April 2024 and I’m dealing with the EXACT same issue. Did anyone find a solution? I’m wondering if anyone has a success story and willing to share their details. Or know of an “out of the box” solution. My car is currently in the shop, but when I get it back I’m going to see if the garmin catalyst polarization filter will fit without any modifications. Meanwhile, I thought I’d ask if any is aware of any “cut and paste” solutions.
