User Guide for the Mobius Mini2 ActionCam
Description
The above picture shows the arrangement of the user operating features.
The Mobius Mini2 uses a similar case design to the case used in the original Mobius Mini.
However, the Mini2 uses completely different hardware compared to that used in the Mini.
As such, the Mini2 is much more power-efficient and generates much less heat during operation,
eliminating the need for the internal metal heat sink and it's 4 brass screw studs that protruded
through the Mini case bottom. Operation time is almost double that of the original Mini.
►This manual does not cover replacing the internal battery or lens.
►This manual assumes the camera is loaded with the latest firmware available at the time of
writing. Functionality may vary with earlier or later firmware versions.
Cards
You should always use micro SDHC or Micro SDXC cards with a class rating of 10 or above.
The cards may either be formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. Cards with a capacity of 200GB have
been successfully tested.
Important: If the card is too slow (class rating too low), there is a possibility the camera will
prematurely stop the recording.
Formatting
Standard formatting tools provided by the operating system are not always reliable and should
not be used. In addition, they do not optimize the SD card's performance.
For optimal card performance it is recommended to either use the Windows setup program
(mSetup, see below) or use the camera's built-in formatter. Instructions for In-Camera
Formatting are outlined below.
Another excellent formatting utility is "SD Formatter" which can be downloaded from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html. This utility has been specifically
designed to format SD cards.
