Odd…
It says Spy Tec under the title and sold by Power Hobby over at the “buy” button?

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I wonder what the relationship is between the two - - - and with Mobius.
Rich
Rich just shared with me the video he shot, and everybody will freak out how cool it is. I’ve been to Rich’s house before (couple of years ago), and I forget how large his layout is. Simply outstanding.
So now everybody wants to see it Rich?
Trying to upload a video as we speak.
Rich
I’ll go get some popcorn!
What video editor did you Use ?
[O]Okay I am now popping my fifth bowl[^o)][:-^][zzz]
The Mobius produces videos in .MOV format. It is easy to upload the video to YouTube, and I could simply provide a link to the YouTube video on this thread.
But, I was hoping to insert the video itself into this thread. So, I uploaded the video to Photobucket, and it supposedly uploaded successfully. But, that is where my problems began. For whatever the reason, I am unable to see it or play it back on Photobucket, so I am unable to capture the link necessary to insert it into this thread.
Rich
Hey, hold onto your shorts. [:#]
That popcorn is harmless enough, but pouring a cup of butter over it hasn’t done anything good for your waistline. [(-D]
Rich
OK, I decided to stop fighting with Photobucket and just use YouTube.
Remember, now, the purpose of this thread is to view the results of the Mobius Mini Cam. [8D]
So, overlook the layout flaws, and there are many. And, overlook the off layout clutter. [:$]

That glitch at 1:44 of the video was my flat car derailing, not the camera misbehaving. [^o)]
Rich
Nice layout Much bigger than mine Liked the signals and the passing train
of course this type of video shows things that need attention
If you use an editor you can crop out the Parts that you don’t like
Looked like 1080 mode
I liked the parts that you couldn’t see off layout stuff just sky board
Yep, I used 1080 mode.
I will experiment with that.
The other consideration is how fast or slow to run the loco pushing the camera car. I used 12 speed steps on a 28 speed step scale.
Rich
When you power up it starts in 1080 mode (solid orange light)
if you press the mode button you will switch to 720 mode (blue Light) press the shutter button and the blue light will flash indicating you are now recording in 720 mode

I have a tendency to run too fast as i try to save file size
your speed seemed good but its fun to play around
I also enjoy listening to the pusher loco running
Oops, sorry, I misspoke. I am recording in 720 mode with the blue light on.
Somewhere in the on line manual, I thought I saw a ‘narrow focus’ option, but if there is one, other than 720 mode, I haven’t tried it.
Rich
There are places on your layout that will show the walls reguardless of what mode you use
But 720 is the Narrow Focus (some call it Tunnel Vision) mode
720 has a tendency to make the center track spike heads look bigger
Ya think? LOL When I saw the first one, I thought that it was a huge piece of landscaping debris on the ties.
Rich
I used my camera to find the spikes i forgot to pull and also the missing ties ~~~Guess i got lazy toward the end of track laying
On my Dream Layout, I will still use nails, but I will remove them after the glued down ballast dries. And I will put down a heckuva lot less ballast. And I will paint the ties and rails.
Then, I would add clouds and structures on my blue backdrops.
Hmmm, let’s see, what other flaws are obvious?
