I recorded some video on Monday following a visit to the Thoresby Classic Car show, weather was fantastic for a change, very dry and sunny, so ideal to test out the Mini 0806 (fitted with Circular Polarizing Lens Filter) and the far cheaper Mobius dash-cam side-by-side.
And to demonstrate why recording number plates of on-coming vehicles is so important, please note the stupid overtaking manoeuvre by the white transit van who would have hit my car had I not moved out of the way, and with the 0806 he would have gotten away with it because the numberplate was blurred, though thankfully the far cheaper Mobius caught the whole incident on video - along with the numberplate.
You can tell the screenshots apart because the 0806 has the date and time info and 0806 shown in the bottom right, whilst the Mobius has the date and time info shown in the bottom-left.
EDIT: Since this footage I've refocused the Mobius lens (which is easy to do) so that is focused on more distant objects rather than the wiper blade manufacturer!
