I would have gone with the mobius action cam just for the lens extension, if it wasn't for the heat issues that cam currently has.
I delayed buying my Möbius for quite a while, while researching the 'heat issues'.
I searched this site, RCGroups, YouTube, Techmoan, general Google searches, etc, etc.
What did I find? Very few cases! Based on the heat-related failures that I've discovered, more than 99.5% of Mobius sold have no such problems. In most instances, the battery has died, & a replacement battery has restored it to full health.
The mere fact that the Mobius contains a visible heat sink, which gets warm, seems to infer to some people that the Mobius has an inbuilt design defect. This is generating an urban myth, partly perpetuated by the 'heat issue' thread that exists on this site.
Eletoponline have sold nearly 6,000 Mobius. Add in the other sellers, & total sales is probably around 10,000. If a serious heat issue' existed, there would be hundreds of reports of heat-related failures. There aren't!
People with dashcam problems naturally gravitate to this site, which leads to a false impression of dashcam reliability, etc. The vast majority of owners are happily using their cameras, and are probably not even aware of the existence of this website.
So, buy the Mobius, and stop worrying. I see that you are in Belgium so, if you want the peace of mind of EC consumer protection, buy from an EC supplier, e.g. Webbex, JooVuu, etc.
