Was made aware of this "keychain" camera on a micro forum and bought it off Ebay for $15- delivered from China.

This is the first flight that I strapped it under my Logo 500 yesterday. The video quality is surprisingly good! (Youtube degraded it a bit, but it's close to what comes out of the camera.)

Location is Carson field. (South of LA in SoCal)

Enjoy!

Bargain!

Fly_Bar · 11-06-2009, 09:09 AM

Amazing for $15 bucks how can you go wrong. The video quality was decent.

DarkHeli · 11-06-2009, 09:30 AM

Wow. What is the name of the cam? Have a link?

Just search 'key chain' or 'spy' camera on Ebay. Just checked and they're now down to $14-!

Also, if you watch the video full-screen it reduces the "sea-sickness!"

That's so cheap! Looks great too. Great find.

ShuNut · 11-06-2009, 10:12 AM

WoW, impressive technology.

Just looked on ebay and i see they have ones with built in flash memory and others which use miro-sd cards. I'm wondering which would be better considering the unit would probably be worthless once the internal batt dies.

Peace

Kington99 · 11-06-2009, 10:56 AM

ok nm I bought the 8gb one, how exactly did you mount it to your heli?

JasonJ · 11-06-2009, 11:06 AM

That was awesome.

Off to Ebay now.....

JasonJ · 11-06-2009, 11:45 AM

Okay, just bought one. My plan is to mount it to my 450 and have a good old time. Velcro plus strap should get it done. The nitro would probably be too much vibration and oiliness for it so it won't go on the Rappy.

Kington99 · 11-06-2009, 12:01 PM

Yep got mine on the way for 13 squid. just wondering if it's worth decasing to get the weight down or not.

ToMeToYou · 11-06-2009, 12:14 PM

I would get one, but my only concern is how to charge the battery? Usb?

I would guess USB. No problem there, with as much time as I spend on the computer.

Just take the key ring off. I doubt it weighs enough to be noticeable. I wouldn't decase it, but that's just me.

AtTheCross · 11-06-2009, 12:32 PM

i see you figured out how to change the time, but how did you get it to show in the lower right corner? mine is upper left corner

ToMeToYou · 11-06-2009, 12:34 PM

Can anyone confirm it charges via usb? Does it have any built in memory or do you have to buy a card for it?

Regards,
Jon

AtTheCross · 11-06-2009, 12:45 PM

yes, charges via usb, usb cable included. mine has 8gb built in memory, no option for external mini-sd

ToMeToYou · 11-06-2009, 12:58 PM

I just bought one for £12.99 delivered. Has built in 8GB memory and supplied usb cable. Is this the same as yours? Im going to wrap it in some foam ( to help the vibrations ) and stick it on the bottom of my Trex 600NP.

Some have built in, some take micro sd card

extremewattage · 11-06-2009, 01:22 PM

the 8gb built in ones seem to have a lower resolution, I would personally just by the one without the memory and stick a cheap 5.00 2gb card in it
