A few pics:

Everything it comes with:





USB port (left) and micro SD card port (right). The memory card goes in upside down and clicks in. It's spring loaded, so you just need to push it in a little bit to get it to pop out (just like on most cameras). The thing is tiny, so either grow out your nails or have something similar small to be able to push it in!



Camera lens in the middle, sound port on the left:



Compared to my own car FOB:



And a quick video:

As you can see, this was early morning light, so I was really making the little camera work with the light compensation.

And another:

hope it helps.

This worked perfect! I would prefer no stamp, but for 14$ I am not in a position to complain.

And the video is 30fps at 720x480.....amazing....

Flycamone, two and three are pretty cool if a little more expesnive.

FCO3 can also have headsets (2.4ghz) so you can 'see' where your filming and driving.....

[y2kgtp]

Well my key chain camera stopped working for no reason. Light just stays stuck on, and won't turn off. USB won't connect either...Guess I'll let it drain and see if that helps.... :-(


NM...whoo hoo, looked at eBay auction, and noticed a reset hole in the side....working again!

Now with the HD unit being available, Might be time to upgrade my GoPro too.

GoPro = no worries about mud, water, dirt, vibrations, or damage(except lens face). The viewable area is one huge advantage over those other small cameras. Without the wide angle lens, you won't be able to see much unless you're a few feet away.

Down side to the GoPro is the size. It is kind big.

I agree, the gopro provides good quality video in a damn near bomb proof case for a crawler. I got the new HD Hero a couple weeks ago and so far I love it so much more then the standard Hero, the quality is no comparison and the user interface seems way more reliable. I also love how the new batteries provide 2.5-3 hours of record time and with the 32GB SDHC card and extra battery I bought, I can record for most of the day.

Here's a pics of the HD hero mounted on my Honcho, the second gopro case on the rig was broke in a race with my Baja 5B so I used as a waterproof housing for my NVS light control box and receiver.









I'm uploading my first HD video from the camera now.

Wow that camera is really worth the cost, has a great lens. Ive seen what looks like this at pepboys for alot cheaper then the hobby stores, but I never knew about them and didnt really look at the brand name sometime last year. I believe around $100, compared the $180 here at the hobby stores. I have seen them used on surfboards too.

Ive found some online but they dont have the bubble lens, is that an add on lens they make, or do you have to buy it that way to begin with

Here is a vid from today with the 14$ keychain camera. I just had it on the rood of the body, so turned off when I rolled :-( Need to find a better location, but I can't complain for the money.

im using the same brand but 2gb, and that other cheap camera looks like a usb drive. I get waviness with too much motion. Thought maybe a different brand card would help better.
