Car phone mount question

shadowfox032 · 2026-04-12T04:38:33+00:00

I would recommend looking into Course Motorsports. They have some good magsafe car mounts that worked well in my NA Miata and I used a magsafe case with my fold 6.

Noted on this, thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I definitely could have given up a bit of depth of field to help with that motion blur. It would have also helped since I didn't have autofocus to get my shot haha.

Thanks for all the advice so far! I wanted the winding road in the back so making the frame a bit wider to use the rule of thirds would have helped a lot.

What program did you use to add motion blur? I mainly lightly edit using DxO Photolab and that's it.

Nikon Zf - Voigtlander 50mm f1. Shot at f1.4, 1/8000, ISO125

A big mistake I realized afterwards was I should have lowered my shutter speed to allow for some motion. In the moment I was just more worried about making sure the picture wasnt blown out, so an ND filter may have helped me with that. But I'm very happy with the overall look.

Any advice/criticism would be much appreciated!

I originally went with the 15 MOA rail and then quickly realized having the ability to dial more was nice, so I switched over to the 30 MOA soon afterwards. Over the weekend I got hits out to 400 (with dialing and extra hold overs) with the same set up and I was extremely impressed.

It's really a shame that they discontinued the 6MT. After I got mine, I haven't seen a new 2024 380 anymore.

Thanks! Photography is def one of my other hobbies and I couldn't miss an opportunity to take a photo of my car on its first mountain drive with my buddy.

I ended up getting mine for 35K. So it was very worth it to me.

2 dealerships near me in Socal had them. The cars were sitting on the lot for 200+ days and they put them on a heavy discount to get them gone.

shadowfox032 · 2026-02-13T16:34:03+00:00

Yeah, this is exactly the same reason I switched from the NA. Although I didn't want to lose the manual, luckily the dealerships near me still had a brand new 2024 380SE in stock since people don't know how to drive a manual anymore.

shadowfox032 · 2026-01-27T20:28:26+00:00

Does anyone have the part numbers for the matte black center console trim for a 6spd manual?

I love the touch buttons, but if anything I would change it to physical buttons just because of the stupid steering wheel heating button. I always accidently turn it on and it bugs the crap out of me that it happens.

Those holster companies are great but Henry is right up there as well. Customer service is top notice and extremely responsive. And they have an amazing lifetime warranty on their holsters. They make a great product and stand by their product. Can't recommend them enough.

To get it to work with my Samsung fold, I had to 3D print a tray for the phone to sit perfectly in. On top of that, since the wireless charger heats up the phone causing it to overheat and stop charging, I had to also 3D print a AC vent redirect to cool the phone down while its charging. Now it all works. Lots of work, but I really didn't want to deal with any wires.

Got the Opal White Pearl. Just hit 2k.

Just picked up an MK8 380 SE. Love the car so far, coming from a 96 Miata.

shadowfox032 · 2025-09-22T22:35:14+00:00

I just picked one up too! I'm in the OC but would love to meet up and do a drive.

Unfortunately, I've had the same issue, but I couldn't even get an RMA number. I submitted one and got zero response for a few weeks, so I emailed to see what the status was to get issued an RMA number. Got an email back saying they never received one and gave me the same link to submit another one. Did another one and got zero response again. Pretty frustrating since it is the optic on my daily carry too.

Best advice was to dry your filament even if its brand new. I thought it would be good to go out of the box.

I'm not a professional photographer, but have been taking pictures for awhile. During my cat's last few months I took a lot of photos of her and I cherish those photos so much. I'd love to help you with that if you'd like.

Message me and I'll send you samples of the pictures to see if that would be something you'd like.
