Ok, but the glass holder is big, I do not want suction cup holder I want a small adhesive. I just saw a camera called XPLORE C1 I really like it is pretty little and takes up little space in the crystal
If you like/want a tiny cube-type camera that can be used as a dashcam and an action cam, I suggest the SJCAM M10 Basic. It's basicaly a SJ4000 in a different case and has a craddle designed for dashcam use, with a tripod screw that allow you to buy any adhesive mount with a compatible bolt. If you want something a little better, with higher definition and more features, then you have the M10+ but you'll pay a little bit more.I would like the camra to be very very small like the SQ8 but it had good image quality at minimum 1080p 30fps. I've only seen a Finevu.
Do you know very small camera gap with good resolution
If there are no small cameras I prefer to buy an action camera and use it for ski, mtb, car etc ... for many other things
Ok, I have the sj4000 camera. But I never tried it for car, today I tried it in the car mode and it turns on actually to the contact of the car, the truth is that it records very well, but I would like something very small that would go unnoticed. I have already ordered the camera SQ8 cost me 17 euros with SD 32GBIf you like/want a tiny cube-type camera that can be used as a dashcam and an action cam, I suggest the SJCAM M10 Basic.

You have something like me. Always doubt everything, and i am sorry to tell: you will soon disappointed about SQ8. Good luckOk, I have the sj4000 camera.

I will try to see how it records, but watching the videos seems to me to record quite well for the price it has.
Beware that the SQ8 might not be true 1080p. In fact, I'm almost 100% certain it isn't. Anyway, if you've already ordered it, good luck.I have already ordered the camera SQ8 cost me 17 euros with SD 32GB

I do not like MOBIUS and now I'm almost ready to buy XPLORE C1 or AUTOBOT EYE but I really like XPLORE C1. The reasons are as follows:I think the Mobius is your best choice, and here is why. For value there is no better cam- you get a lot more for your money than with other cams. Video quality is good enough under all conditions. It is very reliable under all conditions. It is small and the mounting options are nearly endless because of the tripod thread and form factor. It does not look like a cam to most people. It supports large cards. It is rugged and lasts a long time. It has several lens options. All parts are available and economical should something fail. It can be had with or switched to super-caps for hotter climates.
Thieves want something of high value and easy to grab, and they are going to have to show the buyer that it works to get much money from it. With most dashcams that grabbing and proof is easy, but Mobius has no screen which makes that proving harder to do. Incomplete items have little value so a simple home-made mount also lowers it's grabbing value to a thief. If you want to remove the cam when parked it's easy to do, and the mount is sturdy so that will not quickly result in a loose mount like with some cams. And unlike a GPS or GoPro type mount nobody will have a clue what a bare Mobius mount is for. If you remote the lens, few if any thieves will want to go through the trouble of getting all the parts to steal it and they might ruin the cam in the process. Wedge cams can be discreet from the outside but one glance from the inside makes it clear what they are while Mobius still remains vague.
Discretion is the best security you can have- nobody can steal what they don't know is there so keeping out of the spotlight matters. Common sense when parking also matters; instead of the "best" parking space you want the safest one. Parking near but not next to a visibly better target almost guarantees a thief will hit them and not you.
To prevent theft you have to look at it like a thief does then not make yourself look like a worthwhile target for them to consider, and Mobius goes a long way toward that. I have a work van full of goodies a thief would love to have and while many of my friends have been targets I haven't- part is good luck and part is being smart. You can't control the luck but you can do something about the smart

Ok, but the out video/audio need the special cableMobius uses a regular mini USB cable, nothing special
Xplore is not that small once on the bracket, the camera itself is reasonably small though, have seen some mention of focus problems on that model when it gets warm so you may want to look into that
The problem of blurry focus I also saw it in the cameras Mini 0805 and has easy sol solution has to disassemble and focus manually.
The wrong focus can be solved manually is easy, repeat the camera Mini 0805 0806 etc repar the brong focus manuallythat's a problem of incorrect focus, not changing focus, different issue
