Its a repackaged keychain "spy" camera ($10 to $15) on eBay. I use the keychain camera all the time on my flights. For both the keychain camera and this camera, use a "Jelly Lens" wide angle adapter for better footage.

The timestamp is annoying and I wish it could be disabled but sadly no.

videoguy837 actually HobbyKing now carries a keychain cam so I see no reason why they would repackage it into this camera. Will do a review on the keychain cam as soon as they get back in stock.

Great review yet again Frank and i've got to say Hobby King are really looking after you boys,what with the new shirts and all ;-) what about doing a monthly comp for this channel and you could say give the review item as the prize,that would get the numbers up even more ;-) just a silly idea as you must have loads on your plate as it is;-) thumbs up.

we don't need/want timestamps

The time stamp is annoying on this camera, for one you can't shut it off, second setting the time is almost impossible and I believe it resets every time you power it off.

how could i get a live feed from this camera? would i have to install a small terminal or antenna to the body of my plane to get a live feed?

I had a camera like this, not from you guys though. The SD card would kept popping out, the light indicating whether it's recording is difficult to see, for some reason it only records properly about half the time, resulting in some of my best flights not being recorded. >:( Also, the date thing pisses me off, however when I export into Imovie, the date stamp doesn't export. Also the clip mount broke and the skin ripped the first time I used them. The camera records very high quality though.

@HobbykingLive

[davidnieuwland]

@HobbykingLive : Thx for your reply, appreciate it.

davidnieuwland the camera isn't waterproof but I did manage to get it stuck in a tree just before doing the review and couldn't get it back down till five days later. It rained for three of the five days but the camera was still fine after I retrieved it. So I guess it is somewhat water resistant, lol!

[HobbykingLive]

TheLipRipp3r there are nio instructions that i have found anywhwre on the internet or HobbyKings web site on how to remove the timestamp. The UFOs in the video were a group of paragliders. There club was at the airport having some fun.
