On 30 May 2008, the Veil Guy (in the process of conducting his real-world reviews of radar detectors and other countermeasures), stopped by and visited Danny and Frank of BuyRadarDetectors.com located at Rock Hill, South Carolina.

In this video he discusses with Frank, the features and capabilities of the Escort Passport 8500 X50 radar detector, a model that has one of the longest established pedigrees in our industry.

@NguyenEmpir3

They're not...they only look that way.  I had just performed a Veil application on one of the vehicles and a bit of it dried on my hands before I had a chance to wash it off.

Which detector do you think is the best buy for the performance and cost in the (300 to 400 range)?

[veilguy]

@awesomepenguin95

I'd recommend reading my reviews on my blog pages and laserveil site, as there are many terrific choices at this price point.

my x50 doesn't say x50 when u first start it, it only says 8500, can anyone tell me whats wrong.

[veilguy]

I got the V1 and i love it

you just got to put it in L mode reduces alot of false alerts

[blackhawk250]

"designed for people who are driving seriously" thats a perfect way to nicely put speeding drivers haha

Hey veilguy, are u at cricket ventures again? I love that place. Anyway would you recommend the rx65 or the 8500x50? If the rx65 then which one because there are so many models.

[Boodieman72]

Lame compared to the V1

Keep up the great vids! Do you think the 9500 series or the 8500 series is better at detecting instant on and laser?

@awesomepenguin95 Beltronics sti 100% invisible to radar detector detectors

[MrDillon10]

i got one in my integra ? im serious as hell about my driving

[durand001]

I just watched this video on youtube of a 9500ix not pickling up a bushnell radar gun. Why does the 9500ix not pick this radar gun up? Should this be a concern of mine? Is it because it's not a law enforcement gun?
