Was the wire long enough to get back to the front?

I've looked at blackvue, but there overpriced and quality isn't the best I've seen, but I do like the form factor of the bullet type

The mobius and trancend dashcam 200 look quite good, it's just a pity the proper action cams like songs new as100 don't have G sensor I'd have one of them...

I also like the roadhawk but that agains expensive. Mmmmmm

With the inbuilt battery you get about 80 mins but if your going to leave it as a car cam then buy the capacitor. When im out and about on my bike I use a power bank that gives me loads of time to fill my 32 gig card which is about 4 hrs at 1080p

Im actually going to buy another and get the extendable lense so I can hide it and forget about it. It will loop record whenever the ignition is on cracking little camera. Technomoan on youtube reviews it and rates it very high and he ls revewed almost all small cameras

good review - i wanted the smallest camera possible - the firmware update is easy as is picking what settings you want

i will do it like this guy http://imgur.com/a/UfFGK?desktop=1 so only the lense will be on show

https://joovuu.com/gb/32-accessories-for-the-mobius here sells all the bits inc the lense cable extender but the guy who makes the camera is on ebay i bought direct from him http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1510718913...84.m1423.l2649

as said in the review posted if your not up for fiddling dont get one again technomoan reviews it and shows you how


edit technomoans install

Yep 5 meter lead is plenty for my wagon. I've found you're best getting a 32GB card that is at least class 6, but to be safe get class 10 as it can effect how fast the video can be written to the card and can causing the playback to be jerky.
