I've just discovered this forum and bought a Mobius with the B Lens. It works great as a dashcam.
I've also purchased but not yet installed the super capacitor. I've been using the android app to adjust settings and grab files from the Mobius.
Does anyone know whether a mobius fitted with a super capacitor can be used in this way?
I wonder if the android device connected over USB OTG will supply enough power for file copies and use of the app?
Edit: I've updated this first post to summarise my experience with the mobius, super caps and an Android phone.
When fitted with a capacitor, its best to use a otg y cable to supply power to the mobius while transferring data or settings to/from an Android device. This is particularly true when a long data cable is used, as the voltage drop can lead to corruption of the storage card's file system.
If you do corrupt the storage card, it is easily fixed by formatting it with a PC.
This thread contains further details on the different cables etc that I have used.
