Here's a vid with the #11 cam from 4th of July weekend on my Radian.

Minocqua, WI. Flying the Radian out over the lake 2 (8 min 0 sec)

I have just received a #11 cam that I ordered last week on eBay. Very pleased with the results. But one strange thing. There is not date time stamp. I would have probably wanted to remove it anyway, but just curious if I do want it. Is this a new version that has some way of enabling or disabling it. This was the eBay item

It does say the latest updated file removes the time and date. But I wouldn't mind the files themselves timestamped.

Hi all,

Iv just ordered this Keychain HD camera off Ebay, can anyone tell me what the recommended Micro SD Card would be, im thinking of an 8GB Class 10 (Sandisk) would this do the job?

Mine is working great with a Class 6 4GB from Scan Computers. Cost me £10.
I worked out the battery would be flat well before I filled the 4GB card.

Thank's I did read the three posts at the beginning. There was no mention of no time/date stamp from new. I was enquiring if this may be a new firmware version with the date/time being toggleable possibly. I did get the answer many posts deep though. Apparently some of the latest ones have had the date/time stamp disabled.

Simon,
I'm confident a CL10 would do very well, but a CL10 is not needed..

I shoot long videos some times, so would get a Class 4 or 6.. and spend the cost difference on a 16 to 32Gb CL 4 instead .. I only got a CL 10 myself (see benchmark in post # 5350 above) cause I was using it primarily in some sunglass cams that drop lots of frames with slow chips.. the No 11 does not have a prob I believe with Class 4 or above ..(personally I use a CL 2 SANDISK with no issues I can see in the video) but who can trust these benchmarks and vendor claims, they're all over the map just try to be sure you can return it if you have issues and don't like it.. I am pretty confident a CL 4 or faster is fine in these No 11's.. but perhaps Tom can chime in .. listen to his advice it's much sounder than mine is.. JimS

Some new ones are coming with the "date off" firmware installed. The FAQ's give details on the available firmware and setting the time so time stamps on the file are correct.

Yes, CL4 is enough if the card is from a reputable company, but when I can get a 4 GB Transcend CL10 for $10 delivered, I don't look anywhere else. But then I don't do any recording that would overflow a 4GB card, either.

Anyone here have first hand experience with these cams, as well as something like a Sony Bloggie cam? I'm kind of torn between those two, and I sure like the weight / form factor of the keychain cam.

I've got both, but there's not much to compare. If image quality is your main priority, Bloggie wins from just about any perspective! If being able to put the camera on a model plane in any place you want and shoot at any angle you want is your main priority, the #11 wins from most every angle (pun intended). But you already knew that!

If you are like me, you want the bloggie in a #11 size case.

Yep, pretty much.

Yep, that would be ideal. Sandisk is one of the best, 8gb is plenty & class 10 is the fastest read/write.

I flew the bloggie a few times, mounted under the canopy with the 360 attachment sticking out of the top. The 360 videos were really neat, but not real hi-res. The camera is about as heavy as the contour gps camera, and only films for 20 minutes at a time (at least my model did, not sure about the new ones).

I never shot either the bloggie or the contour in 1080p due to file size and record time issues. 720p is plenty for rc IMHO, plays better on computers than 1080p. Also uploads quicker.

The keycams are much easier to mount in different locations, like wingtips.
