I'd be interested in seeing it if it's not a big deal for you to do! All the "demos" I've seen out there are pretty bad animation things from the manufacturers, nothing independant or realistic!

Done.
I just need to load my editing software and play with it a bit.
I now figured out why i was getting different results on which side is blocked.
It has to go with the "padded" side towards the plate. That i got. however, if you have it one way, it blocks the right side, and if you flip it 180 it blocks the other. That's why i thought i saw 2 different things when i was playing with it. Also, i removed the RTV from the middle. I found that when water runs down it, it will tend to show the numbers more, even from an angle.
Anyway if not tonight, then tomorrow i should have the video clip ready with an intro on what/ how i filmed it.
I believe the super protector would be good for highway driving for long roadtrip through unknown areas. It's not likely a cop will sneak up behind you and realize you have a photoprotector.
Actually i did get it more for road trips. Up north a bit for photo radar, and trips to San Diego for red light cameras. It's not much of a threat here yet, just planning ahead.
Here's the video.
I've included 3 different sizes depending on the connection you have.
The smallest is 5.36 MB. Any smaller and the quality would suffer too much and this ones about quality to see what it looks like.
I also included a 10.5 MB and 22.6 MB for those with a fast connection.
I did this in the shade to give you an idea how it looks. If anything in direct sunlight it's easier to read from behind.
I stood 20' away and zoomed in, then walked to both sides and zoomed in, and also walked by, similar to a vehicle passing on either side and zoomed in again.
I hope this works for you.

Oh, and Sethy, no tape comments.:wink:
That's awesome, thanks for taking the time to make the video and post it! I think the superprotector you have is definately less visible than the one I have and don't use (the "photoshield"). Good thing mine was cheap, and my expectations of it weren't that high. hehe.
Next time I order something from Roy (doh, sort of, one order just shipped yesterday from Roy) I'll probably add one of those to it since shipping alone more or less doubles the price for me. Maybe I'll add a laser shield as well, and swap back and forth between highway and city driving, although rear lasering is very rare here (no front plate to worry about, and Veil's got me covered as well).
Right now I'm using the photo spray with a photo-sprayed 'bubble' clear cover for a little more reflection, but haven't had an opportunity to test it out. Next time I hear about a new camera with a 30 day grace warning period, I'm so there.
Thanks again!
Your welcome, glad to help. I figured the video would be better than a few close up pics.
I too have been debating on getting a Laser Shield, since i only have a rear plate. At some point i'm going to beef up my rear laser protection, but as you see by the video, i have a huge target area and i don't think a laser shield will help much until i Veil the rear lights and maybe add a few rear jammers. Targeting to the rear doesn't seem to happen much, but it only takes one time.
I don't know if putting Veil on the Superprotector would help or not, since as someone pointed out in one of the other threads, that the redlight cameras use a flash, and the plate cover needs to reflect it to block the pic, so i don't know if Veil would be good or not on it.
And, i don't think i want to test it out on the real thing.
I could be wrong, and often am,, but I think the plate cover you have doesn't reflect the flash, it just distorts it. There are other plate covers that reflect like the spray does, but from your video and the description on Roy's site, I don't think the superprotector works that way. Thus, I suspect that you'd be okay Veiling it, although that may draw more personal attention to it.
You do have a mighty big target to cover on the rear, you're right, it may not be worth it though.
Great vids... makes it so clear that it "disappears" suddenly at the right angle.
What happens if you go MORE over after it disappears? Does it re-appear again?
yes
Regis,
then again you could be right. :!:
My "reasoning" ( well okay "assumption") was that the seperate photo radar blocker obscures the plate, and the redlight camera blocker reflects back the flash. You could be right in that this one just blocks it from top to bottom at an angle, which means a coat of Veil could be an option, although it may like you said draw too much attention.
nvr2fast,
Thanks.
On my truck with the bumper blocking the far side, it goes from blocking one side, then it starts to block both, then it looks like it starts to unblock both like jbird said, but i can't say for sure since the plate sits in my bumper.
