I bought a Galaxy Tab S2 (8 inch) because my Nexus 7 screen isn't responding to touches.

So since the Nexus 7 is the better device for recording in-car video, I tried the S2. I locked the orientation into Portrait, and using the back camera, the recorded video is oriented correctly when you view it in Portrait.

Is that correct?

I'd like to request a modification to TA to allow recording in either orientation, because when I was at BestBuy, I didn't see any tablets at all that you could mount in landscape for video. They all had the camera lens close to one end of the rectangular case. I tried Portrait mode setup, because you just can't put a tablet that big in the front window- it will definitely block your view. The Nexus 7 has the camera in the corner, so it just sticks up a little (and blocks the air vents in stead.)

I'm still going to see if I can get the Nexus 7 repaired. I used it a LOT, but maybe I dropped it once too many times.
