Looks excellent for the price, and does loop recording as far as I see.

Edit: the one you posted looks solid, do research thoroughly though :) no idea if it meets your needs.

These are great cameras to hard mount on a motorcycle for this purpose. They can be set to start recording when they receive 5v on the USB port and automatically turn off when they lose 5v on the USB port, they will also loop record so you never have to fiddle with the SD card until you need it.

Footage wise and budget, I believe a Wide angled mobius camera would do well for being low profile and still work well link although I am not sure where any zoom lenses can be found.

I've had a dash cam in my car for almost 1.5 years, and just had the window smashed & dash cam taken. The dash cam was the only thing that was visible in the car – nothing else to steal. So I bought a much lower profile one, hoping that this one won't get noticed & stolen.

This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.ca/Mobius-Action-Camera-1080P-Sports/dp/B00GT2B4R6

It is a bit harder to set up, because it is not just meant to be a dash cam, and it doesn't have a screen. So you have to hook it up to a PC to set it up properly (so that it loops & auto turns on when the car turns on). You also have to buy a mount & cable to plug it into the car separately. But, it is really small, and possible to mount it inconspicuously.

This is actually my first time using a mobius action camera. I got it because it's the smallest thing I could find that shot 1080p and I wanted to use it both on a drone and for my helmet (sweet aerial riding footage to come). This is shot at the lowest quality setting so I could fit 4hrs of riding onto a 32gig microSD card. At the highest quality (1080p, 60fps, widescreen) it looks crazy nice. I'll post something if anyone wants. The only drawback i see so far is that it looks like the battery lasts about 3hrs of constant filming. I don't know how this stacks up against others. It really is insanely capable for the price and the amazon reviews are raving. So far so good.

There is also the Mobius, which is even slimmer, and still shoots high quality 1080p video. These are popular for RC planes, because they are smaller, lighter, and more aerodynamic than the gopro/sjcam. The only real downside is that there is no screen or viewfinder.

I'm looking to get a camera for my cx20. I was going to get the Xiaomi Yi, but it ships straight from china, so I am looking at a mobius. However, I am having trouble on deciding whether to get the wide-angle or standard edition. On youtube, it seems the wide-angle edition gets more coverage, but there is a nasty fisheye effect. Is the fisheye effect correctable, or should I just get the standard edition if I want something to look "normal"?

My Sony HDR-AS20 doesn't do loop recording. I know the Mobious cams do.

They will also automatically turn on and begin recording when they receive power over USB, good for on-bike recording, but no external mic.

I use this one Spytec Mobius Action Camera 1080P HD 60fps 131 Degree Wide-Angle Lens Mini Sports Cam with Loop Recording - C2 Lens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GT2B4R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qeinFbTJFY2M1

Works great.

I've used the Mobius Action Cam for over five years and have a total of 6. Two for each car and two for my motorcycle. Each car has a forward and rear facing cam and I use one on my helmet and the last one mounted to the handlebar.

Mobius = $77.95 Prime

Suction mount $5.85 Prime

10 foot power extension cable $9.90 Prime

I have the Mobius. It has a motion sensor feature but I don't use it because I haven't hard wired it yet, but if I did I probably would leave the setting on.

I really like my Mobius Action cam (Wide angle). It's really easy once it is set up, and I would consider it to be a easy-meduim install for someone who is handy with car wiring. This is a post i made awhile ago on here with some info:

You can see day and night examples from mine at these links: Day / Night also, here is a recent post on /r/JusticePorn where the road rager behind me crashes at the end: Link

I would consider adhesive mounts. Worst case, you can get residue off windows with some solvent. It's not easier, but it's not an issue if you want it up all the time.

PM me with any questions if you want.

I am talking about my rear setup, but its the same for the front:

Pictures of the install: Link (if you have RES and the last pic is rotated incorrectly, just click the picture)

It is a Mobius ActionCam: Link

To install, I powered it by tapping the radio fuse and running the positive wire back to the rear seat under the door sills. I connected it to this 12V DC to USB converter: Link

I found the correctly angled MiniUSB cable and ran it up to the window: Link

I got an adhesive mount because I didn't want it to ever fall off in the heat like some suction cups can. Also, the defroster lines on the window would prevent a suction. I got the "CH-358" from this page: Link

There are also 2 pictures of the front camera in that album. It was installed in roughly the same manner, but I used a different angled USB cable and a lower profile adhesive mount.

That dash cam is a little overkill - if you don't absolutely have to have an on-board LCD, you could go with something like this with this mount. If you want to wire it to your car, you'll need a 12v to 5v converter and a long USB cable - but even with all that, you're saving $50+ that could be used towards better IP cams. If you don't want to wire it to your truck, you can just plug it into a USB cigarette outlet charger.

Thanks! Are you talking about this product? http://www.amazon.com/Mobius-Action-Camera-1080P-Sports/dp/B00GT2B4R6

What is the capacitor? My other camera just plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet.

EDIT: Found the capacitor: http://www.amazon.com/Mobius-Action-Camera-Super-Capacitor/dp/B00JG7CRYU

So that replaces the battery and makes it more reliable. Neat!

I really like my Mobius Action cam (Wide angle)

It's 2 of the same dash cam. From another post I made:

I'm about to replace my current dash cam with a Mobius Action Cam. Also, thanks for using Smile.Amazon.

This is the one I bought, after watching the review on techmoan.com. I was on a budget and this fit the bill. He highly recommends it. It works great and is multipurpose if you want it to be. Also it's slim which I like.
