gordon_dunn Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I saw some forum articles on a video camera- small device like an ATC 2K, but with a swivel head, and 2GB memory...... but can't find the posting. May have been another forum.... Can anyone remember seeing this? If so i'd appreciate the link. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I've been meaning to get round to picking up one of these for ages but have been concentrating on other things. Here is the London based website of the shop I was planning to get one from: http://www.brentfordrc.co.uk/scripts/pr ... oduct=1087 Regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquaddie Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Great clip - I can't believe the pilots head moves too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The only downer I can see is the USB connection is USB1.1 not 2. So transfer of movies to the computer might take a while. Otherwise, what a great little product! Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magmig Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 when I tried to order one a few weeks ago there were non in stock as there had been a lot of returns due to some technical problems, they said they were getting it sorted so I hope they have! Ended up buying a Aiptek from Maplin who were doing a deal in February for £99 (not sure if it is still on) which was bundled with a sport cam (helmet/handlebar cam)- used it on a recent skiing trip-really pleased with it although the digital zoom is poor the shots from the helmet can are perfect quality for pc/you tube as long as you are not expecting anything special. Can't find the link sorry. cheers Mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Just noticed that the above Cam will not work with PC's using 'Vista' Only works with 2000 or XP. (Which is just about the same as everything else on the planet ) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donegalwing Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Has anyone tried this one yet? http://www.firebox.com/product/1732?aff ... MAodeD5hMg SW Simon I have one of these cameras, I havent used it in the air, but have used it on a skiing trip a while ago, Gave the camera to a mate, but when he returns it I will post a short clip to give you an idea of the quality...

Flyingmonkey Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Bought one of these fellas a few weeks ago... One snag. There is no direct feed to a telly through an RGB but if you take the card out and bung it in a reader, then you get around the 1.1 snag with USB. I will try to attach a couple of short clips to give you an idea of the quality. I Figured that whilst being covered in rubber I don't think I'll be overly worried about a camera if I'm going splat too. Pics are relatively good - see tank killing the wifes plant pot - KR Flying monkey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
