Garmin Polarized Lens Cover for Dash Cam, (010-12530-18)

This is the second-best accessory out there, I would highly recommend it for the Dash 2. Works great in direct sunlight or lowlight. Install is as fast as you can twist your camera- it slides right over the lens. It may be a little pricey, but this helps your camera see better in all lighting conditions.

Takes the glare out.

I learned of this off of other people's youtube and reviews. This is a must have item as it greatly improves the picture and video quality of your Garmin dashcam. I have the Garmin 57 and it fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it does seem to be a bit steep in price point. But it is what it is, it's a Garmin upsale item for sure. Overall, I'm glad I bought it.

Easy to install, less glare.

This product does exactly what I expected it to do during the day, which was reduce the glare on my windshield, and it does quite a good job. But nearly all of the glare came from reflections off of the dashboard, and using a piece of black velvet as a makeshift dashboard cover (dash mat) gave me better results than this filter. Of course, the filter is less expensive and easier to use than a dash mat.I did extensive testing both with daytime and nighttime driving and the video quality is definitely better at night without the filter in many respects. It does help with the same dashboard reflections that occur in the daytime (for example, when passing under a street light). But it also introduces some negative artifacts that don’t appear in the video where the filter is not used. When using the filter, street lights and stoplights have a ghost image (double reflection) and the overall image is more hazy. In addition, the picture quality is noticeably less sharp with the filter on. Signs and license plates are more difficult to read, and lines are blurrier.The filter looks good, it’s super simple to use and it makes the daytime images much better. Because of the nighttime video quality I’m still undecided as to whether I’m going to keep it. I might be better off getting a dash mat and not using the filter. But if your dashcam video is plagued by harsh reflections from your dashboard, you will probably be pleased with its performance.

Live in the southwest desert and the sun out here can be brutal, especially at sunset. This lens cover does the trick to reduce the amount of glare your camera will pickup. Does it eliminate all of it, no - but it does help. Overall, glad I purchased the item but I do think it might be alittle on the pricey side.

Wish I had known when purchasing the camera, it will cut down on Sun glare and vehicle reflections, I would greatly advise to purchase when purchasing the camera. Maybe one day Garmin with add this to the purchase package.

It is nicely made and works as described as in the other reviews.I ordered this on a whim, taking a chance because it wasn't listed as fitting the Tandem.But it does fit as described in the other reviews.A couple of caveats-It does cause some slight vignetting.To me, that isn't a deal breaker as the reduction in windshield glare is well worth the trade.It also MAY rub the front of the Tandem lens at its curvature. So I don't push it fully it down. This might be adding to the vignetting I noticed. It still is a secure friction fit on my Tandem.As others have mentioned, night vision isn't as good because it also reduces light to the sensor, I have adjusted the exposure slightly to compensate.
