I have a vapor on order & spy pen in the draw that will use like you. How did you mount it & were there any centre of gravity problems . Think this is a great little idea. Wish you would make video of makling and installing this. Maybe nxt time cut volume of engine motor and add sum music but bloody well done
A completely stripped down pencam that can be had on eBay for $20-$30. They are listed under pencam or spypen. Video taken here was with MP10 version which will also take regular 640x480 pictures. To remove it from the pen just pop the cap (it's glued in) and pull it out. It's stripped down to just the bare circuit board and wrapped in 4 mil 19mm clear heatshrink. The USB plug has also been removed and replaced with a 4-pin connector, saving approximately 1.5g of weight. Good luck.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure who the manufacturer is. I have two of them and both came from eBay (search for "spy pen"). One came in a box labeled MP9 and the other MP10 (video here is from the MP10 camera).

@rsalaz10 This was a hacked (meaning removed from its case) pen camera off of eBay.

No, about 50% throttle. At full throttle the aircraft will easily climb.
