On board Camera- suggest one please?

[Emsman]

Hi,

I know that flycam is a popular choice, but does anyone have any better alternatives?

Must have built in memory card, rechargeable ideally and above all else, must be light.

Only want one to put on a couple of rc planes, so any ideas most welcome.

Oh, must be cheap too!!

I use one of these http://www.firebox.com/product/2384/Muvi-Micro-Cam...
Had it a while now. Light-weight dosnt affect the handling much, provided its mounted near to the c of g
Dale

I have a couple of these. Amazing gives size/weight/cost...

I like the key fob camera. Looks like a bit of velcro and it could be used on cars.

I've taken some video with a key fob camera taped to various places on my car, they work very well.

I've got one of those fob cameras too.

I used it on my nitro RC car.

Unfortunately, the vibration from the engine was so much, that the video is constantly shaking. And the car is so fast, that it goes from one end of the street to the other in about 2 frames, and looks like its going at a million miles an hour.


Just be careful if your buying SD cards off ebay from china too. I bought a 16GB one for £7.99, turned out to be a counterfeit fake, and was really a hacked 2GB card.

Thanks folks.
A mate of mine has just got himself one of these, which seems ideal for the price.......

Short vid with the muvi cam fitted inside the cockpit,(took the pilot out first ) of the Lander Panther. Note the lack of aerobatics I find it hard enough to fly around in circles. Still in one piece though, just.

I have one and they're great. Just don't spend alot on one as they are the same as the ones on eBay for alot less:

I paid under £10 each(inc delivery) for a MUVI copy on ebay as linked above.

Test footage

Quality is better straight off the camera as that's been edited and compressed for youtube. I just had the camera blu-tac'd to my dash.
