I got this one at the a few weeks ago, I'm sure it'll have caused some damage to the other car. Watch out for bottomless puddles!

I presume you 3 are all driving gods then, lets not worry about the MLM van or OLM Mondeo driver, or the undertaking Q5 etc.
I assume you're talking about the Mondeo you're tailgating quite badly at the start of the video? If so, I don't see how he's an OLM. He was overtaking cars in the middle lane, and moved over as soon as the middle lane was free. Benjy911 said:
That's pretty cool, what editing software do you use?rfsteel said:
I've fitted a mobius to my car for the commute along the M4.
On it's first outing it captured two high speed undertakes followed by a 4 car 120mph race down the M4 on Monday lunchtime.

Turned off after 45 seconds. You aren't nearly as good a driver as you think. In fact, I turned off after a particularly dangerous manoeuver.On it's first outing it captured two high speed undertakes followed by a 4 car 120mph race down the M4 on Monday lunchtime.

Id suggest the IAM, or probably better because theyre rubbish now, RoSPA.

I went with this one :
E-PRANCE Mini 0803 Ambarella A7LA50D Chip Full HD 1296P(Upgrade Mini 0801),With GPS Logger,With internal 8G memory model + 32GB Memory Card
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JIPRZWE/ref=...
0803 has faster chip over 0801. The idea of the internal memory is that you can save clips from the memory card to the internal memory if you have to hand the card to the police. Its very easy to do. I went with the 32Gb memory card as supplied which is Class4.
Very pleased so far. Very easy to set up straight out of the box. I will have mine hard wired as well and its so small behind the rear view mirror it does not get in the way.
Picks up the radio and conversations in the car so might turn mic off.
Have only had it a few days and have looked at the results which are very good. Very strange watching yourself drive familiar roads.
I'd be interested to see some footage from it if possible?E-PRANCE Mini 0803 Ambarella A7LA50D Chip Full HD 1296P(Upgrade Mini 0801),With GPS Logger,With internal 8G memory model + 32GB Memory Card

Anyone know if its possible to set the 0803 to loop over a longer time than 5 minutes?
I want a dash camera that can record around 8 - 10 hour sections before looping. Any advice?
That will surely be down to the size of the card recording and not the loop over.I want a dash camera that can record around 8 - 10 hour sections before looping. Any advice?
I use a 32GB and make sure the sound is off (more recorded) not sure if the 64GB would work or not?

The Amazon description for the 0803 says...I use a 32GB and make sure the sound is off (more recorded) not sure if the 64GB would work or not?
11.Video save interval: 1 min/3 min/5min
Does this mean that you cant set it for longer intervals? I'm new to this, but think it's a great idea after having had 2 of my friends being involved in none fault accidents over the last year and getting shafted.

Trying to find that vital few seconds of footage in a continuous recording - and then having to find a way of editing it for the insurance/police would be a nightmare, I would have thought...

My last camera was similar, although I think the options were 5/10/15 minutes. No longer unfortunately.11.Video save interval: 1 min/3 min/5min

The problem is, on mine at least, there is a couple of seconds of no recording when one segment ends, and a new begins, and if that's happening every 5 minutes, the odds of the incident happening at a 'changeover' period is actually quite high.
Are the more expensive cameras better in this regard?
The period in question relates to the length of the segments, not the length of recording.
If you have battery and data capacity for 12 hours then you will record for 12 hours irrespective of whether the data is written every 30 seconds, every 3 minutes or every 5 minutes.
You cant record for hours without writing the data to the Transflash card, where do you think this data will be kept? There is a finite limit to the amount of data that can be cached - it is stored on the card and has to be written!
The choices allow for a trade-off between longer written segments without brief interruption and more regular but shorter interruption.
Early cameras might lose between a fraction of a second and a whole second when writing data to the TF card, depending on how long a period was chosen.
This is no longer an issue with current cameras, which do not lose any data at all and may very briefly duplicate a few frames at the very worst.
So: it makes little difference how long a recording period (before writing) you select.

Thats it exactly, and because there was a very brief loss of picture whiclst they wrote the data, there long chunk with long occasional break or the small chunk with more frequent but smaller break options were offered.
The cameras have moved on very quickly though and it really doesn't make a difference now. I haven't seen a camera reviewed for well over a year which has actually lost data when writing.

The 0801 has no loss of recording between segments. Registration Viewer makes it easy to watch all the segments as one continuous file but when it comes to dealing with the footage then smaller segments are much better as when opening in a video editing program in order to compress, crop etc then it's much faster to open a file which is 200MB than one which is 32GB! lolThe problem is, on mine at least, there is a couple of seconds of no recording when one segment ends, and a new begins, and if that's happening every 5 minutes, the odds of the incident happening at a 'changeover' period is actually quite high.

Almost saw a biker killed on M60 jn12 eastbound this evening.
BMW car passes me probably doing 100mph, gets into correct lane for M60 North.
Biker follows in right hand lane for M60 South.
BMW gets held up by slower moving vehicle and dodges out into M60 South lane as biker is alongside him..very quick reactions by biker so he doesn't get knocked off.
BMW now overtakes but is too slow to get back into M60 North lane so has to cut across lane dividers, then messes round undertaking, finally entering M60 North and carving up two cars, forcing one of them to brake hard, as he blasts straight over for the outside lane to get back up to 100mph+
Youtube upload kills the video quality so only done two stills.
