Mobius vs. Go Pro? - Helmet or Bike Mount?

[Mel46]

I am all for any kind of vibration cushion. If there is a commercial version can someone point to the link please? I had no problem on my Burgman, but on my PCX there is just too much vibration for me to be able to get good video.

Everything is Go Pro. This is the basic idea.

I believe this is what we want to build, because daham these are a lot of money the almighty gimbal will come down in price and complication in a couple years.. you can bet on that

Here are a bunch of different options.

A great story and still good stock LOL

As of Dec 4th all Mobius action cams come with an awesome 3.7v - 820mah LiPo battery. I could not understand why my battery was lasting so much longer over the earlier model. Now I see the more important change.... BATTERY! You can get this for the earlier model SEcoda and install yourself.

Cool. On the Forza I have the camera and my phone plugged in the 12v outlet with a dual port USB power unit.

Here is a guy's 4 minute Mobius vibration mount and the results.

Mobius does not offer any proprietary stabilizing accessories at this time that I can find, the RC community seems to have mastered the problem of vibration for us if we want to mount on the bike. Perhaps this design and other similar designs found on YT are as simple as it gets until Mobius offers their own anti-vibration hardware. Not sure how to apply something like this to a bike so for now Helmet mount seems logical.

I ordered a carbon fiber dampener off of EBay for $10 and will mod it slightly until my buddy's son's arrives. It may be better than his.

This one seems to have enough flexibility in it to do just about anything. My brother has it on a Blade 350 quadcopter and it eliminates the waves and oscillations.

It should arrive tomorrow and I am anxious to see the results. I have watched many videos using these and they seem to work very well.

Hey how is this product working? After building two prototypes from DYI's off YT I have concluded the scooter vibrates too much for any dampener. You have to upgrade your battery after you see this SEcoda.

[SECoda]

I have unlimited power from the Forza for the Mobius to run continuously until it fills the 32 GB SD but will upgrade the battery anyways for other uses.

There are a few more tricks to the dampeners. The dampener I bought has softer longer rubber shocks but I am also adding rubber washers as I attach the dampener to the existing mount and the Mobius mount to the dampener. My brother is using that very setup on a Kymco Agility 125 scooter and claims the waves and oscillations are gone. The Forza may have different vibration than the PCX does - not sure. He is not a YT user, however, and is just viewing them on his TV and laptop. We shall see. It should arrive today or tomorrow.

GoPro 3+ if you can afford it or 2nd hand, i wouldn't bother with the 4. I stick mine directly to my Duke.

Little video of me helping on old dear who fell off her push bike just this morning...

GoPro's are same poison different flavor. The helmet mount gets rid of the waves but has other tradeoffs. I have helmet footage as well.

Mobius in near pitch dark conditions in default settings



up next.. same run in low light setting

[homie]

Lowest light setting still produces less than desired video in near pitch darkness. I think Go-Pro would excel in these conditions.

Well I wonder if it can survive the shock of a 5.56 nato round going down the barrel of an M4 carbine. I'd like to get some use out of the handle bar mount if we can't use it on our handlebars

Drone park... GONE WILD! This is where Mobius rules over Go-Pro



regulation eminent

[SECoda]

I have an EOTech on my AR. Love it! I use a Casion FC-150 high speed camera (up to 1000 frames per second) on my airguns through the scope and capture the pellets flying at 1000 FPS and hitting their targets.

Still waiting for dampener to arrive - whew....

Here is a cool stabilizer/dampener on a quad.

BTW - it is easier to make these dampeners more effective or even double them up.

This guy has my attention for the moment, very informative and lists all the parts and reviews each one and why he likes this build. Must stop looking at this before I jump hobbies
