anyone know where I can get a suction cup for the finevu dash cam?

I've looked around crystal mall and broadway camera. The closest to this would be the go pro kit but don't want to spend more then 20$

Honestly, the only useful things in there are the blower and the cloth (marginally useful).

Assuming you're cleaning camera lenses, you'd be better off using single-use wet-wipes for eyeglasses. Dirt and grit can get caught in microfiber cloths so I only use them to wipe away moisture in a pinch. For cleaning though. I use disposable, single-use eyeglass cleaners. You can get it anywhere they sell glasses (WalMart is cheapest) in the optometry section.

You can buy the materials to make your own terrarium here, or buy a pre-made one.

There's a small florist inside Oakridge called Twigs that sells these.

The owner lady is super nice, and i get all my flowers from there. Located closer to food court, it's one of those "island" stand things, but they do good work.

Do you by any chance remember if they also sell the materials to build them?

Too bad I'm not cool enough to do said tasks.

Does anyone know where else I can purchase these hickory nuts besides t&t.

???? T S Emporium E-Shop ???

The price at t&t is ridiculous, and can't justify paying 10 bucks for these.

Garden party could probably help you pull that off. In all honesty you could pick everything you need for a cool terrarium from a hike on the north shore. Save yourself a considerable amount of money. Buy the airplant for 10$ and the holder for 5$.

saiko 05-26-2014 09:20 AM

Thanks Heisenberg, was hoping someone knew a place that sold quality stuff but wasn't GoPro brand accessories. I will browse Bestbuy and see what I pick up before a trip.

saiko 05-26-2014 09:23 AM

I ask a ton of questions here.

If you don't mind waiting, DealExtreme has a whole bunch of generic branded GoPro accessories. Prices are cheap, but not sure about quality. (sorry, never ordered GoPro accessories from them before so I can't comment on it)

eBay probably sells the same stuff for about the same price or a little bit more if they're located in the US but you'll get slightly faster delivery.

You can find a bunch of these buffing wheels at princess auto. I was just checking out some YouTube vids on buffing and apparently u need a high rpm grinder or polisher to really get aluminum to a mirror shine.
