**Please Read this. Thanks. I'm always looking for "Just the right Camera" for putting on my forehead and planes. I was intrigued by the ad from Woot.com, so I bought one and thought I would share the results in Black Light, Low Rink Light, and on my EF-2000 EuroFighter Typhoon Jet.
The camera works very simply and that I like The Flip out USB plug is also great. It is a full 1080p HD camera that shoots 60 FPS, also good and has an exceptionally clear monitor, and 3X zoom.
Since this camera line has been discontinued, I would encourage you to find one for your plane or heli if you like what you see, because there are great deals out there still.
Beware though, as it easily can overload your Movie editor for with those big MPEG 4 files. But they can easily be converted to MPEG 2 files and still have a nice picture, so not to worry. I paid $39 for mine. I have seen them from that up to $89, so Google for best deals.
Some RC Eurofighter specs:
Wing Span: 648mm/25.5in
★Length: 979mm38.5in
★Height: 242mm/9.5in
★Weight: 650g/22.9 oz
★R/C System: 4-Channel Transmitter
(Thanks to rudder, its flight can be changed skillfully.
★Brushless ESC is cooled quickly by its incoming airflow and pumping wind from ducted fan, which prevents it from overheating in flight.
★Scale appearance and flight as EU fighter EF2000.

This is a great little video camera. Only problem is these camera's have been discontinued. Cisco will not provide any more software support. You should be able to find these for under $50. When Cisco announced that they were dropping this line and not supporting it I was disappointed. I do believe Cisco bought out this company over a year ago and then discontinued support and production.

@airmayle1774 Yes, your right as mentioned in my video notes. My point of the video was thos show and If folks like what I have showed here, they may still be able to find a deal somewhere.
Just to watch this video back myself from the Jet's back seat was worth it to me tho. :) Thanks for your comments.

Hello Dave,
Do you ever get locos going along that rail track? My other hobby apart from r/c flying is I run US locos on my layout. It would be great if you could capture a loco passing when you were flying one of your aircraft. Thank you for this review of the Flip, lke you I am always on the lookout for a better camera to film my helis & locos.
All the very best John

@scotsoft29 Check out my Sibley Steam train video and enjoy the fun. I have other videos that show Jeff and I trying to do touch and goes on the Boxcars as it goes by at 60. Fun stuff, except they always come by, just as I turn the camera on. Haha. Thanks for the comments.
