Well it is funny, because if you read test results on different web pages, they more or less all say, that the V1 is not as good as the Passport or the BEL Pro RX65.

The only place where I can see it could be better is on laser detection because you can mount the detector close to the licenseplate where they normally point.

Well I just ordered a Bel Pro RX65 more or less because that it can detect KU-Band which is used some EU countries, the X50 can not and the V1 is not portable which I would like.

Anyway the first time it safe my *** it has been worth the $$$

Ohh ups, yes it is.......But then I don´t get it. If you see the test that is done why pay so much when it is not even better.

As I see it there is a lot of features the V1 does not have which the Bel Pro or Passport haves.

Well if the thing starts making alert noises I slow down, where it comes from does not matter....I slow down .

As long as they all work when they are supposed to do, the rest is a matter of personal opinion.

Drive safe but fast

Go here for videos of the V1 beating the X50 in radar and laser detection including POP radar:

Year the X50 is super and I like the design of the X50 better compared to the BeL pro X65. BUT the X50 does not detect any KU-bands and they still use that in Europe.

I prefer the V1. Arrows far outweigh the price difference.
