So I was looking at a Mini 0803 off of eBay from Foxoffer (https://www.ebay.com/itm/400801042044) and I wanted to make sure that this unit is the "improved" one that has the better GPS mount and the heat sink since those seem to be the two biggest complaints people have with this unit.
I asked the seller via eBay and their response wasn't really helpful due to the language barrier. I asked:
And they responded:
Now while they didn't answer my question at all I was curious about the 0805 unit they linked. There is basically no info on that unit out there right now but based on the improvements from the 0801 to the 0803 that it seems likely that the 0805 is better. It does offer more video modes including 2304x1296x30p and 720p60 video (the latter looks interesting to me)
Now one would expect that the improvements made to the 0803, namely the more secure mount and the better heat handling would be incorporated in the newer unit but maybe that's not a good assumption to make.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Is this the newest model with the improved GPS mount and heat sink?
I have read reviews on this unit and a common complaint is that the original mount does not hold the unity securely and results in shaky video.
Also there are many reports from people in hot climates that the unit overheats and can even melt the case.
Supposedly there is a newer revision with an improved GPS mount and a heat sink to address both of these issues. I want to make sure that I get that model.
And they responded:
