Mini keyring-sized digital camera/camcorder

Had both those issues with my R/C Heli, some of the vid was ok but constant vibration made the video useless, plus the amount of kids gathering is always a pain :(
 
Vibration can be dampened down to an extent by mounting the cameras using sticky velcro. Certainly worked on my Aprilia RSV anyway, cut down the vibes from the v-twin quite well.
 
If you have 2 of them, is it safe to add another battery, parallel to the battery already there, to increase the capacity ? Or is that unsafe ? The same one I mean.


Pretty good quality!

I just have to say though, that touch screen looks so unresponsive compared to an iPhone! :p

I think the same thing when I use my mates I phone, I'm used to using my nails to point at things on a screen and an Iphone only responds to my finger and not to pressure from my mail.

Batteries in parallel are perfectly safe as they supply more current at the same voltage. It is important that you match them identically. You are unlikely to get 2x the runtime by adding another battery in parallel though as one battery will usually be more charged than the other which causes it to drain into the lower charged one until they are balanced.
 
I recorded Frankie Boyle live in Bristol tonight, having looked at the footage you can really tell how hard it is to film straight without a view finder and with far too much to drink. So probably won't upload it unless someone really wants me to. To be fair it will be useful for me, as it got to a point where I couldn't understand what he was saying through his accent, and so listening to it again might help :p

Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D
 
found if u mount these on my rc helis right under the main shaft, and dampened with foam, i get hardly no vibrations :D
 
So you do get vibrations?!

The HTC Magic is half the spec of an iphone anyway so that's to be expected but touch sensitivity and usability are a afir bit higher on all Android devices :) It's only recently that Android handsets have gone beyond any iPhone (HTC Desire, Nexus One, Moto Droid etc).

Ah. :)
 
Hmmm the guy wants me to send it back, I will buy a TF card and just try it as I really cba to send something back to hong kong for half the price the item is worth and get a customs label and stuff.
 
Downer; tell him that or maybe ask if he would be willing to pay the shipping?
Worth an ask.
*Edit. Looking at regulations, if he is registered as a buisiness, he by rights should pay for the return.
I'd try asking nicely first of course, he might just decide to send a replacement.

Can you show me the link to these regulations, basically I'll ask for a replacement, or offer to post it back on his costs ( hoping he'll give up, problem is I broke the keychain thing already :( not on the camera but the metal thing I mean), or just leave it if it works and superglue the bits together ( and buy my next couple of camera's from someone else...).
 
Ok cool.

I for one will not be telling my girlfriend about this new purchase until I have at least 3 or 4 recordings from my bedroom. That kind of footage is priceless if you ever break up with someone.
I will also try attaching it to my cat.
