Been doing some research, curious what other paceliners use and if anyone has tips for a good setup.

Depends on your usage and goals...

I've worn a GoPro on my helmet in the past...the weight becomes tiring after a while, and hunting for buttons can be problematic. A camera with a remote control would be helpful (I have one now for the GoPro...)

is it for commuting or other riding?

I used this for commuting, it was so light I just velcro'd it to my helmet.

When it got cold in the winter the battery didn't last long enough for my whole day commute. I ended up getting a small battery pack to also strap to my helmet. It was a little heavier with the added battery pack but not too bad for my short commute.

I left it on looping mode, and it auto started once I turned the battery pack on.

I now just use a handlebar mounted GoPro Hero 5 instead. The app makes it way easier to pull footage onto my phone. I much prefer the GoPro's to my original Mobius camera but still glad I had the Mobius first to see if I liked wearing a camera.
