Can you format the sd card with the app?Today's firmware update to V2.11 enables the Wi-Fi module in the Maxi. This is accompanied by the release of a Maxi Wi-Fi Android app available from the Google Play Store. The iOS app has finished testing and is being prepared for release via the Apple app store - LINK to follow.
The app is compatible only with the Mobius Maxi. It cannot be used with previous Mobius camera models such as the Mobius 1 or 2.
The app provides a very useful live video/photo preview. It allows the user to adjust all the available configuration parameters. It also offers streaming and download of files stored on the microSD card.
To enable Wi-Fi on the Maxi, long-press the Mode button when the camera is in standby. At present, the app cannot be used whilst the camera is recording. The rear red LED will flash continuously whilst the camera is waiting for a Wi-Fi connection. On your mobile device, look for the camera under Wi-Fi networks. Each Maxi has its own unique SSID. The default password is 1234567890. Depending on your device version it may request confirmation to use a Wi-Fi source with no internet access. After connecting to the camera Wi-Fi, then you can open the app and click on Connect to Mobius.
The default portrait view shows a video preview along with the Maxi battery status and remaining recording duration. There is also a zoom option that lets you drag a slider and zoom in up to 4x to check/adjust the camera focus. This is particularly useful for adjusting focus in the car. The third photo shows the preview zoomed in 4x when using a varifocal lens.
Below the video preview screen is a rotating toggle between Video Mode 1, Video Mode 2, Photo Mode and Multimedia. The red central button is the record button. If pressed whilst in either video mode, a recording will commence but the camera connection will be lost. It is not possible to record video whilst maintaining the WiFi connection. Photos can be captured without losing the WiFi connection.
The Multimedia page lets you browse and play video and photo files stored on the microSD card, or download them to your device. I managed a download speed around 20Mbps - other devices may vary. I was able to play a 60Mbps 2.7k video file over Wi-Fi without any issue, so perhaps the camera reduces the resolution/bitrate on the fly to achieve this?
The default Setting page shows the most commonly-used camera settings. Tap the Advanced toggle to show the full list of settings.

where's the iOS App already? is it a Apple hold up or is Mobius having issues with the iOS App? Usually apple approves new Apps within 24 hours and releases it to the iOS App Store...

Mobius-actioncam is not the official website of Mobius. They are simply a reseller.Hello Tony, You had mentioned above, that the Apple iOS Mobius Link will follow. I wrote to Mobius asking the status of the alleged Mobius iOS App in the Apple App Store and below is their response... Does their response mean that the iOS App is not coming? Please advise. Thank you.
From what i understand the Apple products do not support host Host Mode, therefore cannot interface with the camera. Apps are created by third party people.

Hello,When will the Mobius App be available in the Apple iOS Store? I saw the Android version was released 2 weeks ago... When will the iOS Versos be released and available in the Apple iOS Store? Thank you.
Interesting results. During my testing of v2.11 I felt that the darkening was less pronounced than before, although I was using the Maxi lens B rather than a telephoto lens. I'm also using multi-spot metering, but I'm not sure if that will make much difference. I recall you have tried both centre-weighted and multi-spot with similar results.Tried 2.11 with a 12mm telephoto lens. Still using Centre- Weighted.
Image still darkens like with the previous firmware.

I agree the Maxi is still too sensitive to bright highlights which will need to be fixed.
I've not had any instances of changes being made in the app that were not being applied to the camera. That certainly needs looking at. I'm about to load v2.11 so I'll try the screen rotate to see if it sticks.Played around with the app a bit, settings don't seem to stick on the first go. Used the app to rotate the image but the change didn't stick, did it again the next day but still the videos were upside down, today it worked. I suggest adding a 'Save' button that gets highlighted if any changes are made, changing something and then just backing out of the menu doesn't feel right. Also hitting the back arrow icon to exit the settings menu is mostly a miss, touch is messed up, need to hit it a few times before a touch is registered.
The iPod like rotating wheel to change modes needs to be tweaked, should be able to simply touch and select modes too.
We don't have a SAVE button on the OSD menu of an A119 or a SG9665GC et.al., but we do have a save button in mSetup. Why can't the app be like a camera OSD menu?
