Mobius ActionCam Wishlist 2015

[Gabolinche]

For the Dash Cam people, being able to do the same would be an important feature too, especially after the accident and I need to show the police what just happened.

I know this is a super-late reply but I recently was involved in a fender-bender where the other car ran a stop sign and hit me. There was actually no need to review the footage since it was clear the other car was at fault for running the stop sign, but nevertheless I was waiting for police and insurance and thinking to myself: I have no way of reviewing the video right here right now.

I used to have a Galaxy S5 so in the past I was able to just pull the microSD from my Mobius, place it in my phone and review the video. But now I switched to a Nexus 6P which has no memory card slot. To avoid this situation in the future (not being able to review the video immediately) I purchased this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00YQM8352
That adapter in particular lets you read a microSD card with a USB-C phone. You can find the exact same thing for phones with either microUSB or miniUSB connectors. It's a cheap gadget that I now keep in the car at all times and lets me review the video whenever I need to.

additional options (all USB's)

OTG (on the go) cables would let you connect your phone to the Mobius and your phone would power it as well. It's what the Android setup app uses.

Basically you would get an OTG microUSB male to USB A female and then you could use a standard Mobius mini USB male to USB A male cable.

I know that works on the battery version, does it still work on the capacitor version ok?

Ah right ok not so sure - I assumed the phone would supply power either way but I've got to admit I only tried it on the battery version!

Yeah I'm not sure either

I have no issues using an OTG cable with a capacitor in either my M1 or M2 cameras. I'm using a Galaxy Alpha. Other phones may not supply enough power via the USB socket.
I keep an OTG cable and mini USB data cable in my car at all times so I can review / download footage if ever I need to without a PC.
