JooVuu X Camera

The switch away from the original metal barreled module was a huge mistake in my opinion......and the newly designed case to accommodate it makes installing a "vintage" metal module a royal pain.
 
I hate focus issues and see the new Möbius as one step forward, two steps back!

I had the same issues with the GT880S most recently suffering focus issues.

The moral of the story is please use a metal lens holder in the X :)

the lens mount (or base), the bit the lens screws into that is mounted to the CMOS PCB, not many suppliers have the metal base so you may need to ask around

I hate to derail, but I couldn't help myself.
Mint is on all of my PCs except for the one I use to edit camera videos and play a game now and again. I love using it.
If your laptop is really old (i had one that used to run Windows 98) try Peppermint OS
It seemed really light and made that old laptop almost fly.

I've been using Elementary OS (Luna) on an oldish ThinkPad. It runs very well.

Maybe we need a Linux thread?

One photo is metal lens
The second and last photo is metal lens base ,is that called lens base?(The part to connect PCBA and install screw)
I asked some lens module supplier,some people said" if lens itself is metal,then lens base is not so necessary to be metal?"
But lens itself could be metal and the lens base could also be metal,price will be much more

metal lens is better than plastic, the lens base also, of course it costs more but it depends what sort of result you want
 
The Mobius moved to a FRP base I believe and now it has focus issues in the heat which is something they never suffered from in the past.

Not sure how much the cost difference is between the items but if it stops people getting focus issues down the road it may be worth spending an extra £ per unit now rather than finding the issue when the unit is out there - you've even got diehard Mobius fans looking elsewhere now because of it.

Metal base around the lens is needed for sure or expect lots of customer complaints from summer heat focus issues.

it's not an absolute necessity for a lot of cameras but given the compact size and the components being used I think it would be a better choice, I'm sure Daniel will want to use whatever is going to deliver the right results so something he'll look at I'd say

If manufacturer wants to build a good long term product then it should go forward model by model, price of individual component should not be issue, all glory can disappear in a very short time if word comes out that this is not good product anymore.
 
Well if a camera ( action or dash ) go out of focus shortly after purchase, its more or less money wasted.
And ppl will forget all about the moderate price they paied for the camera, and go stupid - stupid ( brand ) and then hate avay.

It all come down to price first and then IQ, thats why the mobius have been so sucessfull against the expensive benchmark Gopro.
 
As people are having problems with the current Mobius FRP lens housing where the older metal one did not give problems, I think the best course is clear. At the price level you envision, you don't need basic quality problems like that.
