Up until now this camera has worked pretty well but two days ago it turned on only to stay on the welcome screen. None of the other keys are responsive. I pressed the reset button but that did nothing. Could the card have gone bad? Anyway, thanks if anyone can suggest something besides buying a new camera ;).
 
That's an excellent question and thank you for reminding me to check that. I will do so when I go home this evening and report back. Thanks again.
 
if it boots ok without the card then it could just be a card problem, if it still freezes it's a bigger problem
 
Drat. Didn't help. I guess I'm in the market for a new one.
 
while you're in the market why not consider the $80-150 range of (typically) higher quality products instead of cheapest but passable quality. ;)

We all like a bargain, however, the G1W & its variants go too far in the race to the bottom.

But cheap doesn't have to mean nasty. Here's a newly posted testimonial off the RCGroups site in relation to the $69 Mobius...

Original Post
"My first post. I have now had my mobius for four weeks. It is used as a dash cam in a commercial vehicle. It has been used for around 72hrs per week, so around 288hrs total. This has been 12hrs constant use per shift. I have posted this because there were some concerns due to the heatsinks getting warm. My camera is still working. I use a sandisk 32gb class 4 memory card, again without problem. Hope this gives some peace of mind to potential purchasers.

I have previously used a 4kam with archos 405, veho muvi, iphone witness app.and three different chinese dashcams whose model names I can't recall. The mobius footage is far superior to any of those.

Finally. I have no links to mobius or anyone who does have links. I just wanted to put over some facts from an owner and user."

Update
"Just a quick update to say my camera is still going strong after about 18 months. Still being used in same way, mostly as a dashcam but also the odd track day or road ride on a motorcycle & sometimes as security cam where it has been running continuously for 4 days."
