    Hi Mat. Great review. Based on you review of the Mobius 1, I purchased one and have never looked back. Nice to see you doing a review on the new Mobius. I do and I'm certain many of us do appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks again !

  • @TailsFurse
    @TailsFurse Před 7 lety

    The new intro was fantastic, had the same "something amazing about to happen" vibe while still being shiny and new. The video itself was fantastic, thorough and informative. The ending was amazingly funny, I had to watch it twice. Amazing work as always man. I have no use for a camera like this myself, but whenever someone needs help finding dash cams or other electronics that you have done reviews of, I am sure to introduce them to your channel. You have helped many make educated purchases around here! Cheers!

    I never cease to be amazed by these little cameras and the quality they turn out - I don't use them much, so they impress me all the more! I've just finished fitting one of those generic "700TVL" PAL cameras (£8) into the van so I can see out the side when reversing, along with a £15 TFT monitor. Pretty damn good picture quality.

    I have to say that the möbius footage is always excellent. I run two in my car as dash and and have played with the settings to get it right but they more than paid for themselves when recently someone crashed into me. For use on a motorbike I just larded Vaseline over it and did 1500miles round Scotland in some very testing weather. Not a problem. Good review sir.

    @ThePaintballTwins Před 7 lety

    Just got this camera to try as a zoomy gun camera using an aftermarket zoom lens for paintball. First impressions are looking good, just have to tweek a few things and it might just do the trick.
    Everything you said pretty much confirmed my experiences so far, actually surprised i sat through the entire vid, great job mate!
    Oh, fyi, they sell on Amazon now too.

  • @airsoftcamman
    @airsoftcamman Před 7 lety +32

    Mr Techmoan. I see your battery was stuck to the chip. This has caused catastrophic detaching of the chip over time rendering the camera "dead" in a few cases, my 1st Mobius2 included (See RC Forums thread post #902 for images). Apparently this happened to a batch of cameras during assembly by lazy employees finding it easier than sticking the pad to shell of the camera. (My second Mobius2 has the sticky pad on the shell, not the chip.

    That looks exactly like the lithium polymer battery pack from my latest small drone that I bought. It's pretty neat that they use the standard power lead connectors for most RC stuff as well, so hooking this into the power system of anything that flies, rolls or crawls should be a snap.

  • @69dragons
    @69dragons Před 7 lety

    I have a quick little suggestion for you. If you were to take a 1/4-20 X 1/4"long flat head bolt and a fender washer (maybe 2 or 3 washers to get enough thickness to cover the tapered part of the flat head bolt) and sort of just leave them attached to the camera that would do several things. First, it would marginally improve the heat sink capacity. Second, it would give you a larger area to set it on and be more stable. Third and finally, you could get some neodymium disc magnets and mount it in lots of new places. As always love the channel and keep up the tech goodness.
