Both the Mobius Maxi and GitUp F1 are matchbox-sized action cameras which have modes and features that make them suitable for dashcam use.
Disclaimer:
I received the F1 from GitUp in November 2017 for testing
I received the Maxi from Mobius in January 2018 for testing
Dimensions
Maxi - 71 x 35 x 18mm
F1 - 82 x 41 x 23mm
Power
Maxi - Battery or capacitor
F1 - Battery. Capacitor option being developed.
Controls
Maxi - Power, mode & shutter buttons
F1 - Power, mode & shutter buttons + OLED display
Interface
Maxi - mSetup desktop application for setup. WiFi apps being developed. PC webcam mode.
F1 - WiFi app for live view and setup. Bluetooth for remote control.
Lens
Maxi - Lens A (~135deg FOV, F2.8) & Lens B (~130deg FOV, F1.5)
F1 - 160deg F2.8 & 90deg F2.5 (NOTE: I do not have the 90deg lens to test). Faster lens believed to be in development.
Both cameras use M12x0.5 mounts and can accept a wide variety of third-party lenses
Sensor
Maxi - 1/3", specification not stated, max recorded image 2704x1524
F1 - 1/2.5" Sony Exmor IMX317, max recorded image 3840x2160
Mounts
Not supplied as standard. Both cameras have slide-in cradles with a removable 1/4" tripod socket, which allow them to be mounted upside-down from a windscreen mount.
Firmware
Both cameras have received firmware updates since being released for sale, typically addressing Image Quality issues and adding some functionality. FW development is ongoing with both cameras.
On the F1 I am currently running MOD1.5+Sharp TEST firmware developed by @Falsificator
On the Maxi I am running FW v2.04, which for the purpose of this comparison is identical to the current release v1.90
