Announced earlier this month by RCGroups.com, an independent support forum for users of the Mobius line of action cams, the long-hinted 4K version of the Mobius Maxi has finally hit the streets. Deliveries to US customers might take several weeks, though, because the only distributors at the moment are the China-based developer eletoponline365 and the UK-based Webbex.

While camera's form virtually matches that of the 2.7K Mobius Maxi, it sports (finally!) a modern USB-C connector instead of the woefully obsolete mini-USB port that all previous Mobius cameras have used. The price? Currently it's $98.99, but I suspect as the now, virtually dormant US-based Mobius retailers are stocked with the Maxi 4K, that may drop a bit.
Here are the overview and the specs, taken from the maker's, eletoponline, e-bay listing:
Best and newest Mobius Camera, powered by latest chip solution, records super-fine detail in 4K 30fps and has a wide dynamic range, natural colors, smooth exposure, great image quality.
Powerful hardware, super low power consumption for a 4K camera, less heat dissipation, more reliable for continuous 4K videos recording.
New Type C USB Interface. Easy connection with computers. Plug and Play, working as USB drive or webcam.
Easy connection with smart phone as well (if your smart phone has Type C USB port and supports USB OTG) to access files on memory card, with camera as an external USB Disk.
Multi-functioned, we can use it as a pocket camcorder, sports camera, dash cam, still camera, webcam, even as a removable storage device.
Simple and easy to use, work perfectly out of box. It also comes with advanced user settings.
We can change the parameters setting by configuration TXT file, or by Isoprop’s powerful PC tool mSetup, (V6.0.0.0 or above). We also have a simple Windows GUI - mTool working for this Maxi 4K model.
Package included
1x Mobius Maxi 4K Camera with Battery
1x Mounting Base
1x Type C USB (data/charging) Cable
1x Type C USB OTG Adapter
1x Pair Velcro
1x Quick Start Guide
Personally, though, I'm going to wait a bit to see just how ready for prime-time this new action cam is before jumping into the pool. While Mobius has hit home runs with the original keychain camera, the Mobius Action Cam, the Mobius Mini, and the Mobius Maxi, there was also the disastrous rollout of the Mobius 2, a buggy mess of a camera the firm didn't even pretend to try to resolve. Finally Eletoponline washed its hands of the matter by just issuing a credit to buyers of the Mobius 2 toward the follow-on Mini and Maxi cameras.
Let's hope the 4K Maxi lives up to the reputation won back by the current Mobius line. They are a pair of great products that greatly enhance the rocketry experience, and a 4K version will no doubt render some even more stunning footage of our trips into the blue.
