Hi sorry if its been asked before but, I only have apple products and the mobious seems to be geared towards the PC platform, is it easy to work with the mac ? Or is it more of a cuffuffel ?

If you want to configure the Mobius, then it's perfectly possible to use the Mac, but it certainly isn't as easy as if you have a Windows PC or a compatible Android device. Mac users are normally used to user-friendly programs, but if you want to configure the Mobius you'll have to use TextEdit or a similar text editor and modify the values yourself. You also have to be careful with conflicting values, or the results may not be as you expected.
The picture below shows you what to expect if you want to set the parameters using a Mac. All :eek: you have to do is edit the values between the [ ]. The file itself is generated by the Mobius by pressing and holding the Mode button and then pressing and holding the Power button at the same time. When the red LED stops blinking you will find the configuration file SYSCFG.TXT in the root folder of the card. After editing the file, you use exactly the same procedure to update the configuration. The camera will automatically delete the file. You'll have to beware of the first parameter, the date and time, and adjust these accordingly or simply replace all the numerical digits by ?.

I see this is an old post, but... here's a link to an RCGroups thread where you can get a Mac GUI for the Mobius, authored by a guy named LorenzoG. The app is at the bottom of the first post in the thread. It is compatible with recent versions of the Mobius firmware. Makes it real easy to change settings for the Mobius on the Mac. :)
