250 Sized On Board Video?

[CSpaced]

While down at Joe Nall, I happened across a gentleman selling "R/C Mini Cams". For $40 I got a small digital video recorder that looks like a car alarm key fob. It has a 4gb micro SDHC memory card that can hold 60 minutes of video. The video size is 720x480, and it can also take still pictures at 1280x1024. It comes with a USB cable, so you can download the video directly from the camera. I'm guessing if you have a card reader compatible with the micro SDHC, you could just unplug the card and access the video that way.

I'm planning on attaching the camera to the bottom of my T-Rex 250, so watch this space to see how the video works out!

have a look here ,these little cams have been in use for a while now. RC Groups aerial photography has plenty more.
Good luck with your shooting...
I have one of these on the way for my Scale Planks

Ouch dude, for $13 I got my camera delivered from a feebay vendor, which i coupled with my $6 4GB card from MicroCenter. I guess the upside for you is that you didn't have to wait three weeks to have yours in hand! Heres a huge RCG thread on them, theyre not exactly the most user friendly device out there but they are a blast to use. Have fun!!!

Heh, well not having seen them before and the guy actually having them in front of us - it was definately an impulse buy! :D Plus we put them on my plane down on the 3D line and got some great video just before we left!

I shot some video with the 250 and got some promising results, now I just have to take it somewhere that is a little more interesting than the nest of trees I live in the middle of! I'm editing the video down and will post something up shortly!

This is the video from my plane that we took right after we picked up the cameras. We literally taped one to the canopy and one to the wing tip, without any regard for vibration dampening. Some of the video is a little wobbly in places as a result, but we were happy with the results!

Here's the 250 video! It came out surprisingly well for what it is. I'm going to get some video out at the flying field where I can send the 250 up higher without worrying about trees :)
