HD720p mini DV 808 key chain camera - Instructions, review and test video

The new HD version of the brilliant little 808 key chain camera, sometimes known as 808 version #11. Full details are on rcgroups dot com and loads of info on the key chain 808 standard definition is on Chuck Lohrs 808 web site. Google them, as YouTube won't allow url links? It's quite easy to remove date stamp on this model, e bay seller power gps will send you the files, but make sure you get a genuine HD Key chain cam. A list of a couple of good suppliers are on the rcgroups thread. Mine came from Power -GPS on e bay for just £25. 2 weeks delivery time from China.
This video is a big raw file, 800 mb's. I will upload a compressed one, once I figure out how to do it! My slow old pc has some trouble handling the files which are MOV.264 mpeg 4 avc format. Dual-core laptop is ok with them.
See my review of the MD80 mini dv and some super videos made with the standard definition 808 and MD80. The Yacht Delvery is best!

This is an EXCELLENT video. Thank you so much for explaining how to use this delightful, high quality little camera.Your tutorial is waaay better than trying to make sense of the instruction booklet. I'm a cyclist & this is great for downhill descents...as long as the road isn't too bumpy :). Fun for videoing our pets too. Thanks for taking the time to construct your video for laymen/women like me. Much appreciated.

@Yazzieyo No worries. I'm glad you found it useful. Have fun.

Is there an auto exposure on the camera ? I mean, if i point it to the sun, does it "dark" the video or is it a fixed exposition ?

[bobflyman]

@darkgilson Oh yes, very good auto exposure. It works reasonably well indoors as well, though good light gives better results. The only real problem with them is they aren't very good with browns and greens and they colour hunts sometimes.

@bobflyman Thank you. A friend of me had bought the old generation of this cam (not HD) and it was pretty bad in high lights. I think I'll buy this one and attach it on a glider's wing next summer. Be sure I'll upload a video :) Yours in paraglider helped me to make my choice. Thank you !

[bobflyman]

@darkgilson Your welcome mate. I look forward to seeing some videos!
