Bottom line is this is a just one of those gems of a product that really works.

It does not have the big marketing awarness of the GO PRO, but as a dash cam it is awesome.

We do lots of video production and we use it all the time where a GO PRO or Replay XD or ?? won't do.

Has a great grass roots support community and help and software are free.

Has anyone used an ION Air?

I'm looking for something small and wearable for bicycling even thinking about it for running, it's freakin dangerous out there

GoPro 3 Black - definitely the way to go.

I use the drift camera and the external microphone.

Sure the go pros are great, just waaay overkill and $$$ for a simple single function in car only camera (meaning not weather proof). Also not really set up to be as automatic meaning they won't come on automatically everytime with the power I was told by someone at GoPro when I called. Not sure about segmenting the files and locking of file segments should something "happen". Something for everyone.

Just as an update, since this thread has come back up: I switched to a Mobius for my forward-facing camera. It's the new iteration of the key 808/16 fob camera (which I still use in the cabin and rear-facing). The image is pretty good for an under-$70 1080p camera.

In this case, the video quality has been 'bumped down' for editing and then reduced to 720p to make it quicker to get up on YouTube. Even so, the sky doesn't wash out and there's a fair amount of detail if you watch it at the 720p resolution.

Geat video. I am happy you started using the Mobius....it is an amazing camera for the price as witnessed by your great video. good work!

It is so easy to work with and very unobtrusive.

Mobius does seems like a great camera and you can't go wrong at that price. Thanks!

It is impressive and works well. Google around lots of good information and even a software download to set the various modes.

I ordered one from Amazon, and one from China and got great service on both.
