To be clear, I'm not against the current Mobius approach. They do no wrong in selling parts which might be misused, and that does make it cheaper to fix or experiment with as you have to buy only the part you need and no more. It also opens the door wider for experimenters, the results of which have shown us some great gains and adapted uses that are indeed usable and workable. This concept is one of the main ones which sets Mobius apart from all the rest and I do not want to see it changed. If you want the lens to be sold with the sensor and housing, you can buy it that way, and unless you know what you're doing with partial part replacements that's probably your best option, but others are different and shouldn't be restricted to only your own approach.
Certain things can be improved by Mobius and they have a history of doing that. Being a mass-produced item, not every example is going to be perfect but I feel Mobius does better than most. The Maxi is still in an earlier stage of development compared to the original Mobius, and I think it will get better in time. But I'm unsure whether it's a worthwhile buy yet for someone who is just looking for a dashcam they're not going to alter or work with. It has the potential for greatness but there are plenty of other cams like this which never reached their potential including many where no efforts were made in that direction. And the Maxi isn't exactly a dashcam, but also an action cam, so one's expectations of it must take that into consideration. It's different by design. It just needs a little more development, that's all.
