My M2 had a rattling noise coming from the (hard plastic) buttons. This issue resisted every effort to fix it so I'm glad to hear it was fixable on the Maxi. Since then, spare cases have become available for the M2 so there's that but I haven't bother as I don't use either of my M2 cameras anymore. Hopefully spare parts will become available for the Maxi too.
Nothing on the sensor's board
no markings on the other side of the board?
At $75 with minimal accessories and no screen, expensive for a SPCA6350M + OV4689 combo. Eken H9 standard package with all basic accessories retails for $37 on AE.
people have happily paid double what some other same spec hardware from other manufacturers sells for with every Mobius model so far, I don't see why they would change their business model now, sure way to go out of business if you just try and price match a box mover that only cares about sales volumes
Not complaining, I like their cameras, happy to pay extra for this form factor. What I mean is, at least mention what's inside and let customers can make an informed decision.
they've always been like that, they used to wipe off the chipset markings on the M1 and claim to have some different variant of chipset, I'm not sure why they thought that was a good idea, much greater respect for what functionality they can achieve from the platform rather than trying to pretend it's something else
I always assumed that laser etching the DSP on the M1 was just an attempt to postpone the inevitable cloning of the camera. I'm not so sure it was an attempt to pretend it was somethings else really since ultimately it's not that hard to determine the components as outlined in the DCT write-up on the Mobius processor & sensor.
