Wide Angle Mobius ActionCam 1080p HD Camera With Dash Cam Kit (V3 / 820 mAh / Lens C2 / 32GB)

If you have seen the reviews on YouTube, DashCamTalk & RCgroups and are wondering if this little camera is everything it is cracked up to be, I'll add another thumbs up! The online, downloadable Users Guide is far superior to what you are likely to find in other Chinese-made cameras, even though the other cameras may be just fine. The PC-based interface that is available to change the camera settings works good too. The designer obviously spent a great deal of time and effort working with users of their previous designs to develop a product that has a number of useful features. If you plan to use it as a Dash-Cam, I'd recommend getting the Dash Cam Kit if you want a simple plug and play unit. It does much more but unless you are moderately technically adept, you may become frustrated trying to understand the variety of settings options and how to handle everything.Pros:Small size makes it very discreet, very good day and night video quality, wide range of settings options, good range of optional mounting accessories, appears quite reliable, many of these cameras are used on radio-controlled aircraft which can be extremely-rough service. This unit is easily modified with optional lenses, external battery packs or capacitors, etc., if you are so inclined.Cons:It doesn't offer a GPS interface, Waterproof housings are not yet widely available, No optional polarized lense cap which might help to reduce windshield reflection and sun flare is available.Gosh, now it sounds like I am complaining but really, this tiny camera already does so much, so incredibly well that it is pretty hard to fault it simply because it isn't the only camera anyone would ever want for any purpose. I'd rate it six stars if I could!Now I just wish I could find a video editing program that didn't require so much time to edit my clips for YouTube!

I had such great results testing the Mobius wide angle 1080p high definition camera as a front-end dash-cam, that a purchased another Mobius dash camera sans memory for the rear. I equipped both with the excellent  SanDisk 64GB microSD  memory cards. The 64GB cards allows for longer times between recorded file over-write (in case of any incident, which requires such evidence). Camera 'heat' is easily handled with the largest  Raspberry Pi Black Adhesive Heatsink  mounted on top of the Mobius heatsink (see photo). This model is equipped with the wide angle "C2" lens* (see video for perspective).I also replaced the 820maH battery in both units with the  Mobius Super Capacitor  (highly recommended for dash-cam applications). The replacement is fairly easy (be gentle) - Remove two screws (with the included screwdriver), exchange the batteries, reassemble, and you're done!The is no IR capability within its diminutive size (~2.38L x 1.38W x 0.70H) - however, it sees better at night than me with my 67 year young 20/20 (corrected) vision. :-)The Mobius "mSetup" software unlocks the many features within this camera, which makes the Wide Angle Mobius ActionCam 1080p HD Camera a great candidate for a covert dash-cam operation (see <www.mobius-actioncam.com> for great information on Mobius cameras). Mobius service is very good.For your bemusement**, I have included a video, 20151228-OK_IceStorm2, which shows both cameras in operation.*Maximum Mobius Lens Angle FOV @1080p Standard "A" Lens: 85 deg Wide Angle "B" Lens: 116 deg Wide Angle "C2" Lens: 132 deg**Yep, I'm not even sure myself why I took our pups to their grooming appointment that day. What you see in the video, are the results of two Oklahoma ice storms: The piles of tree branches and trunks are from Thanksgiving weekend ice storm. I'm driving the day after the Christmas weekend ice storm.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
