Here is my setup

EasyStar, Brushless (2200kv) with stock prop, Pentax Optio S5n (5MP) mounted sideways, slightly forwards and slightly down, I-gotU GPS logger, Chewing Gum camera mounted forwards and slightly down and the Keychain under the wing for downwards video (note the velcro on the wing for backwards and sideways video or the other camera when it arrives) Ive put a rubber band shockie on the camera so if it comes off I shouldnt loose it)
