My Mobius 1 has been a nightmare since day 1 as a Dashcam, recordings never have the correct timestamp (have a supercapacitor), no warning if the camera is working (I have a stealth dashcam install) and lately the recording have a poloroid effect. The worst hassle is accessing the cam each time there is an issue, messing on with OTP cables and connecting to laptop etc etc.
So i'm gonna ditch it and replace with the Maxi... but I have a few questions:
1) Is it worth getting a Supercapacitor (again) - It will be used in the car
2) If I buy a Maxi Lens extender cable (it comes in 2, 4, 8-inch) does the length effect Video quality/lag?
3) Would it be good to use in full 2.7K all day round? Will night-time quality suffer at 2.7K?
4a) What are the best settings for combined day/night recording?
4b) Am I right in thinking this beeps when starting up and down? Is it an audible single beep or a tune like Gangnam Style?
5) Do u need a specific SD card to work with 2.7K recording? Can you recommend one?
6) In the UK here the roads are like a pothole plaza, does the Maxi have better stabilisation than the Mobius 1?
7) How hot does the Maxi get? I have the Mobius 1 in a hidden space, will the Maxi be ok in a confined space?
8) How is WiFi connectivity coming along?
9) Is their an App for IOS?
10) Is their any timeline of development on the Maxi?
11) What's the cheapest place to buy the Cam, Lens extender and Supercapacitor?
12) Does this have any advantages over the BlackVues cameras, which have no screen, but do not have lens extenders like the Mobius.
13) Should I give up on Mobius altogether and get a BlackVue, Thinkware, Nextbase etc?
Sorry for the questions, but I'm very thorough when buying kit like this.
Thanks
