The video quality was pretty good, but I have to agree Brother.... put a piece of tape over the mic to mute the wind noise..

Then you click on the unzipped files and they creat a "time txt" folder. That file changes the time and date when it's opened.
I did a few short vids around the house this evening. Simply amazing for such a small cheap camera. It rivals my old FCO2

What zip file?
The only thing I see is the video and Image files.

A friend at the field has been using one for about a week now and the videos he has gotten on his EDF planes is good. We velcro'ed it to my trex 450 heli and the picture was wavy half the flight but I know helicopters are known for vibrations and would probably be better if it was mounted to foam instead of directly to the frame. I just ordered one for $25 shipped off ebay and can't wait for mine. Here is a video he just posted:

Marks f4 phantom from hobby lobby...with camera attached to the nose cone.....notice the other plane (3 min 51 sec)

I have the 8GB cam, Been doing some test, I have left it on for 2 hours and got 1GB of video, But that happen only one time, All the other run test I average 669MB.

That looks pretty decent considering the size, what's the battery life like?

Mine had player software and time and date software in it. Man these tiny cameras are going to be great for small planes. It makes the FCO2 look large by comparison.

[SmoothCruizer2]

if you guys open the play software folder and look around you will find the mediainfo file.... thats how you check your fps after you make a video.... mine is 640*480 at 25fps..... tho it looks around 15-20fps

[Dennis H.]

player software?

I don't see that, Maybe its not on mine. I'm running Win Vista which it is new for me, Maybe I don't have it set up right to see all files?
Or it could be my lot of cam don't have it.

I think I read some where that you can make a file on your computer and replace the one in the camera for the time and date. If that is so, I wonder if you can place a blank file in the camera and get rid of the time date all together?

[Dennis H.]

Yes I read that too, And I try that, But it didn't work for me.
I read one person did a format on his and it work for him.

Has anyone tried to strip the guts out of the case & see how absolutely light it can be made?

[quailbird]

Yes! I did. The first one I bought didn't work but once, so I bought another and it works. The first one I took the case off and it is packed so tight and the case is so light you don't gain anything. It's best to leave it alone.

I notice black bars in picture when plane's motor is running. Is that because of brush motor noise or does it do it with brushless motors too?

Picture is quite sharp.
