I can sell you my Mobius cam with all the dash cam mounts for $60. You don't need to spend a fortune on these because they are all made in China pretty much. Sure, some are a little better than others but its pretty much the same unless you want front and rear.

This guy on youtube Techmoan does the best reviews. He used a Mobius in his own car for a while. Works as an action cam as well. Take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wmIyD1fM4M

Don't bother spending 100s of dollars.

Do you have one? There seems to be 2 versions, which one? Looks ok for the price.

The g1w has a battery the g1w c is the capacitor version. Benefit of the g1w is you have a motion setting and it lasts about 15-20 minutes on battery alone.
The g1wc is better for places where it gets hot since there's no built in battery and the battery would normally overheat and screw things up

My brother got backed by a car today! He sent me the footage on his dashcam, I'll put it up on Youtube and show everyone soon
He has my old dashcam, it's not HD but it tells the story well enough (at least good enough for court purpose)

Give me maybe a few hours to upload a link

Ok, just uploaded it onto YouTube
https://youtu.be/hvS4QyZAs0s

The only problem in the video is the incorrect date and time.
Told my brother to either fix the time or just don't show the date, but he says the the dashcam resets itself if he doesn't start the car for a while, and the factory default shows the date/time, so he doesn't really give a crap about the date/time as long as it captures what needs to be captured.

PS: Don't mind my brother's awesome singing skills..

It's kinda hard to tell in the vid, but were you hit at around the 0:37 mark?

Yea, the guy missed the turning on the right, so he braked and reversed but ended up hitting my brother
He actually got out the car and kept apologizing and admitted that he didn't realize my brother was there
