I don't know if it is or ever will be "officially" released, but I would certainly contact one of the sellers in China. I know they have (had) them, but I don't know if they are for sale. I don't see why they shouldn't be, they are supported by the latest firmware.Has the super capacitor for the Mobius camera been released as yet?
Why wait for an "official" release of something that can be purchased from any electronics parts house?

And they have many to chose from.
Sometimes they can even be found in junk car stereos, and that's where I got mine from. I have to run it thru a regulator tho, because the "pull" is a 12VDC cap.
You haven't seen any results because I don't have any yet!I've only done calculations to estimate how long a Super Capacitor would last and a 0.1F is just too low in value to showdown and keep the real time clock running for a few days. There was a person on the forum who was testing how long a larger super capacitor would last, but I haven't see his results yet.
There are hundreds of these available on aliexpress.com but the problem is the diameter. You want to look for 2 x 10F 2.7V Super Capacitor with a diameter no more than 9 mm and a length of approx. 25 mm. The length isn't so important but the diameter is. I've seen 10 mm supercaps, but they are most likely too thick to fit into the case. Another problem is the price, at least on Aliexpress. Either they are ridiculously expensive, the postage is more than ridiculous or you have to buy more than 100 pieces. A quick search on eBay didn't show anything suitable.Thanks Number Three, if someone can post a link to one they have tried and tested and it fits in the Mobius and it is supported by the latest firmware I am willing to give it a go.

The capacitors that Mtz and I have measure exactly 8.25 mm x 24.85 mm. The length is the length of the body. Allowing for the connection to the battery lead it's about 32 mm.if anyone has the capacitors now it would be worth taking some measurements and seeing how much space there actually is, 10mm is very common, finding something in 9mm would be a problem I think

I don't have the time right now, but someone could cut some balsa wood or any similar easy-to-cut material and find by trial-and-error the max. height available in the Mobius shell when closed.
I'm also still waiting for a capacitors edition.
I don't understand why they hasitate so much when it has so much $$$ potiential.
I doubt it represents a great percentage of their users as it means it's only suitable for use with external power
