I've got the mobius, brilliant little thing. It just sits there minding its own business. I have it set to 720p and its clear as day and just as clear at night. I've just bought my mum the can that's posted above.

Interested to see how you get on with the 803.
It's my favoured one at the mo as I fancy one with an LCD screen.
Some mixed reviews on amazon about the quality of it (over heating and electrical issues) but then again, the people who leave reviews on online website normally are those who have something to moan about lol

This gets a good review. Impressive night footage

 

I have this one... one of the best dash cams out there!

This footage is from my old dash cam (before it started to malfunction). I won't drive my car without one, and the video below highlights why!!

I do my utmost to suppress my road rage, but watching that video just made me angry.

Yeppp... I think a lot of drivers just don't think about what they are going to do next. The lorry who pulled out in front of me in the video really scared me as I genuinely thought I was going to crash into him since my wheels locked up when braking. Also if anyone is wondering what camera I was using it was a i1000 dual dash camera thing (front and back camera)... however i wouldn't bother with that (it only lasted about a year), I would purchase the 0803 instead. You could buy two and put one on the front and a small one without a screen on the back :)

If they're all yours or only trusted other people drive them I've read you can get more mounts and leave them in your cars permanantly

Thanks Gremlin, you've gotta love The Clash :) I can't praise dash cams enough, they are such a good tool for piecing together evidence. I don't think it will be too long until they become required by insurance companies!

Well I heard tey are in some countries, not so much required but I think it's a case of if you can't produce the footage after an incident you're not going to get a pay out
