F5B Tiger: Onboard Video

This is a short flight on a chilly morning (cold lipo = weak climb!), with my "keychain spy camera" facing aft. There was no thermal activity during the flight, so it's just climbs, flybys and just general messing around. Towards the end of the video you can hear the motor / gearbox make an ugly sound... I haven't taken it apart at the time of this upload to see what happened.

Is this the Gum pack cam? Nice vid

@v12kid Thanks! It's one of the "keychain" cameras. Looks just like a car alarm remote. :)

Chris,

If I may ask, Where did you get this camera? Everywhere I have found a "keychain camera" they want $150 to $250 for them.

Seriously? $150?? Wow! I got mine from ebay, the guy's store is eletoponline365. It did take almost a month to receive it (slow shipping from China) but it was worth the wait. I'm using a 4GB micro SDHC card in mine (purchased locally)

This is the smoothest on-board video I have seen yet. It almost feels like flying in a real plane. The sound of the wind is great too. Well done.

Thanks! It's amazing video considering the $15 camera. :)
