WhackyWill Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well worth watching the video in the advert with the Merc AMG. I going to use it on my model helicopter. I know the quality not brilliant,but look how small it is... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MicroSD-Key-Video-Camera-Car-Cam-Keychain-808-DVR-NO-SPY-over-5-000-sold-/150741489488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Quite mad really, for the price, bearing in mind he's making a profit, must cost just a couple of quid to manufacture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 yep used to have one of them! great camera, cost the thick end of naff all, so had great fun mounting it whereever i fancied on my old track car, safe in the knowledge that its less than a tenner lost if it detaches and bounces off down the road. pretty decent video quality too, this was filmed with one: word of warning though - i also tried mounting it the bottom of my model helicopter, and it didnt have enough oomph to carry the extra weight off the table. bear in mind my chopper is only 8 inches long though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylefly Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Stupid question, but where's the camera lens?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Stupid question, but where's the camera lens?? We velcro the camera under chopper at about 30 deg looking down, so we may change that with the new shrink wrap to about 25 deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yampiedog Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had one of those, it didn't last very long and then I tried one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-MD80-Mini-DV-Digital-Video-Camera-DVR-Spy-Cam-Pocket-Cam-Bike-Cam-/330934832925?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item4d0d40cf1d Slightly more expensive but a little bit better quality. You need to make sure you have a micro SD card too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC correctly may be slightly heavier than the other one but there's not much in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 up to 380ft today then the chopper got out of range and got blown about a bit. No kidding, at 1:08mins when it started to go all over the shop, i was thinking "woah... its gunna come plummeting down out of the sky and land on some guys car!!!" Pretty good fun though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it got hit with a gust of wind a few times, so you have to throttle down slightly and it will recover, also it kept running out of radio range at one time I couldn't see it, so dropped the power down and it started to come down, take a bit practice to fly them but great fun for no money...!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
