Mobius & BlackVue DR550GW-2CH
Skip to 1 min 2 secs for simultaneous footage.
I have the notion that BlackVue products are generally overpriced & underperforming. Possibly unfair, however, this video reinforces that notion for me.
Well, as it's my video, i will try to explain...I've never been a fan of the GoPro range, and the colour to me seems the worst out of all of them. The snow seems dull compared to the other ones. Is this just a bad video do you think or actually a problem?
I will change caps on my all 4x mobius cams and will do another comparison video (again, from car and from air if possible), with new firmware and different settings (ETA approx 2-3 weeks).
DashCammers value low-light video comparisons above any other kind. If you would focus your in-car footage on night time scenes on both lit & unlit roads, with your 4 Mobius cams at different settings, that would be very welcome.
Another factor, for me at least, is size. You could fit 4 Mobius inside the GT300w case. Here if someone sees my Mobius, it doesn't look like much, not very expensive or elaborate. It kinda looks cheap. The GT300w and similar look like a point and shoot camera and therefore much more tempting. Where I live showing your camera can get you in trouble, so size is an important factor.You are right about the importance of low light performance for Dash Cams but the more experience I have with different cameras, the more I've noticed other parameters that are equally and sometimes even more important. One thing I became aware of not long ago was that when a car is coming towards me in the opposite lane (let's say, for the sake of argument at 50 km/h) and is about a car length in front of my vehicle my GT300W will capture more detail with less motion blur than my Mobius given the same conditions on a sunny day. I need to do some simultaneous tests to quantify this but there is definitely a big difference between the two camera's clarity in capturing motion in the periphery. If it ever warms up around here past 10 degree Fahrenheit I will do some definitive testing but that may be awhile the way things have been going.
I'm never sure what to think of comparisons between the GoPro and the Mobius because they are really different such different cameras with different design goals at different price points but it is always interesting to see the results. It would be interesting to see how the GoPro models handle motion towards the edges of the FOV.
