KeyChain Camera for AP use? 3mp cam

[EricTheRed]

I just ran across this very lightweight (.5oz / 14g) camera that uses an SD Card.

With a fixed focus lens and 320x240 video mode, it is nothing special, however for a lightweight camera, for a smallish heli, I am thinking it isn't too bad, ($70)

What is the groups thoughts.

Hey Eric,

I wonder if a CX would lift this camera? I have some applications where the heli would be way too close to people for flying my Trex. The CX doesn't lift much and the wind has to be zero - but it would be unlike to seriously injure anyone in the event of a mishap.

Think I'll strap some weights to the CX and see what it can lift.

BTW - application is "fly by" shots of live steam train models. Not only is this in close spaces with people nearby, but the models are way more expensive than a high end heli - the CX is about the biggest most dangerous thing you would want nearby.

Cheers,
Mark
