Anyone tried one of these?

Not specifically.
Hyundai have a version of these in some models.
I inquired at my local audio shop recently about getting a rear view camera and had a look at one.
I thought it would replace the current mirror as this one appears to do, but they told me I needed to get a strap-on

I think the upper black coating on my windscreen might obscure the lens.

Got to say the quality (when viewed in 720p) is quite decent, if indeed the film was taken by that dashcam

I think you might be confused Dave .. this is not a reversing camera set up but a "trip" camera ...

I was confused, sorry. 
I'll be quiet now and refrain from making further comment.   
I think it was the strap-on comment that got me worried and my clear thinking went out the window 
That's my excuse anyway.

You're right Dave .. easy mistake to make  (even I was almost fooled  )

i wonder if you aim the camera up and down to get the footage correct if you can still see out the rear window with the mirror.

It says the lens is adjustable 360 deg so I guess you can just move that.
The video footage looks pretty good if genuine.
I know that Audiocom have moved away from clip-ons because they kept falling off and now use strap-ons, so that is something that would need to be checked out.

Thanks for all the useful comments. I don't think I'll go ahead with my intended purchase. Perhaps I'll be on the safe side and buy a strap-on as Dave suggested.

I was hoping you'd check one out - they look quite good

Are we talking about the same thing here, Dave?
