It's the whole image. Shouldn't matter if user doesn't use auto rotate.wow thats a bigger magenta flash than the innovv C3 had.
Starting to feel like users are paying full price and doing tests for the manufacturer...

Did you buy the maxi with a battery or with a capacitor?Hello all! Just received my Mobius Maxi, which is also my first dash cam. Intended use is dash / bike cam. Any suggested settings for someone new to this world? Thank you.
Anyone who's spent any time on this site knows that this is a large part of how the dash cam industry works. Camera buyers are de facto beta testers of both hardware and firmware. Thousands of dollars worth of cameras are distributed to forum members for "review" which are actually de facto sales promotions, including sales links (which the vendors and manufacturers themselves are not permitted to post in the open forum).
Mobius takes it to the extreme in that they have ZERO public presence ANYWHERE and rely entirely upon private individuals to interface with the public on their behalf, introducing new cameras to buyers, handling support issues and troubleshooting on online forums, beta testing and even sales promotions.
It is quite common for even well known manufacturers to release dash cams that have major and minor flaws with hardware and firmware such as focus issues, hot pixels, rattling or buzzing noises, sensor flaws, power supply problems, bad capacitors, etc., etc., that buyers must then contend with. A few manufactures stand behind their products when problems arise but many leave their customers holding the bag.
I can't think of another category of electronic product, gadget or camera I've ever purchased where flaws and problems are as prevalent as they are in dash cams and where the buyer counts himself lucky if the product that arrives in the mail truly performs as advertised and continues to do so without glitches or failures. I can't think of another category of product I use on a daily basis where part of the process of using the device is ongoing vigilance checking to make sure the product is indeed functioning as it is supposed to.
I can't think of another industry that operates quite the way the dash cam industry does.

I bought the capacitor version. (My bike is electric and actually has a USB port to keep it on.)
It would be impossible that at those prices you buy also support and the rest. Mobius started with 808 Style camera...I always keel in mind chuck lohr's statement
"Expect the reliability of a toy, not the reliability of a name-brand camera. Many 808 versions are designed to work at a low price, but are not designed to be robust or easy to use."
It's a testament to the industry.
Garmin and others got (timidly) in and got out....
I don't understand the logic of your post or why you compare 808 cameras to the dash cam industry. Your quote from Chuck Lohr was first posted specifically in regard to the 808 series of key chain cameras in October 2011 some two years before the Mobius camera came into existence. With rare exception the 808 cameras were indeed basically nothing more than toys. Lohr explains that they were slapped together with sub standard quality components and poor build quality. With the leap to the Mobius the company made the transition to a name brand product with outstanding reliability and build quality. They are now a respected brand who has grossed millions of dollars in sales.
I don't see what any of this has to do with the fact that Mobius operates entirely behind the curtain recruiting private individuals as their public representatives. Unlike many dash cam companies with similar sales numbers they have no web site that features their products and information or provides a company sponsored source of firmware downloads and warranty information and no company representative with a presence on this or any other forum like other dash cam manufacturers.

Don't want to go off topic, but where did you hear that Garmin is leaving the market? Nothing on their webpage, these forums, or Google about that.
