MIX Bugs 2 camera issues

Hey, fairly new quad owner here. Purchased an MJX Bugs 2 a few months back, and I could not be happier with most of the features I bought it for, such as the GPS hold and telemetry display. However the camera, which only records to an onboard micro usb, stopped recording halfway through it's first flight. There was no crash, no water damage or anything, and I have tried multiple micro sub cards but it will not record. Does anyone have any advice?
 
I have the Bugs 2, which is not FAV, and that's okay, but without the on-board camera, it's really of no use except to practice with. During the First flight it merely stopped recording and hasn't worked since. No icons showing on the remote. Very disappointing.

Return to the seller for refund or replacement?
 
I have multi-meters, but this camera is embedded. Tried other cards. No use. It was an E-Bay purchase. Reviews were great. It flies better than others I've tried. Bugs 2 is the unit. We have an inquiry into the seller. I don't expect much, so I will consider the cost as "tuition." Thanks for the responses.
 
Mine did the same thing it worked first flight then never worked again..I took it out put a tx03 in same hole fit perfect ran antenna thru the Sim card slot...I have tons of drones including 3 dji and the bugs 2 still one my favorite to fly..I use my fatshark Google's with it...never get rid my bug

I had assumed the OP wanted to record and view his flights. AKA use it as a camera bird.

One of these, they only weigh 27 grams and will provide better video than the stock camera. This is 100 degree FOV they also have a wide angle 135.

Some velcro to mount it to the belly and these.

And you can toss some velcro on a cap and use it that way too.

Just wanted to add that the mobius' parameters can be fully tweaked through it's app, a good thing.

I love my bugs 2 b2w so much I bought another. This way the wife can play with one and if she breaks I still have mine :) No issue with my card slot, still works as advertised. Hopefully second one that is on the way is good as well. Ordered from Banggood.
