Mini keyring-sized digital camera/camcorder

Seller replied and I have tested it and it does actually save as 720*480 and 1280*1024 so seems it is a #3. Have one slight issue though and that is the playback seems to freeze quite often. Using VLC media player for playback on Windows 7.

If the playback keeps on freezing for a split second now and then or quite often this is down to the memory card. The random write speed isnt quick enough.
Try another memory card, ive found the kingston ones sold on OcUK are fine and hardly suffer any stutter at all.
 
Yea i use a Kingston 4Gb card. Got it for £5.80 odd of a different site, although that was with a code that is expired now i think. Playback is fine, not noticed any stuttering.

Installed the webcam drivers yesterday, actually looks really good and is really smooth as a webcam. Better than the one built into my Dell Studio 1555.
 
Having looked at the charts off that site I went for a 4GB SanDisk one that seems to offer the second best Random Write speed. As it happens I think my main problems were not having formatted it properly and also trying to run the .avi directly from the card. If I copy them to the pc they run perfectly. Very happy with the picture quality and copes well with a quick change from light to darker conditions. I also checked the hardware ID whilst doing the webcam setup and they are #3s.
 
I have used mine quite a bit now and am still very impressed. Only downside is the battery does not seem to hold it's charge for too long. Mine went flat after only 2 days and I had not used it.
 
I think it means no wall charger included, in Engrish.

I got 2 from there, you get the 2 units and 2 usb cables in an envolope, and a couple of instruction leaflets.
 
Gents I ordered mine from power-gps on 8th April, was dispatched 9th April and I'm still waiting to receive it? Should I get in contact you reckon?
 
I ordered mine off ebay for just under £9 each with free postage from Hong Kong on 11th and they arrived today. I think the volcanic eruption caused a bit of a delay but could have been worse.

Does the web cam function have sound? i've got the drivers but not installed them yet
 
Overcharging it could have blown it. The lipo batteries dont like over charging and can set on fire from it. 10hrs will have certainly damaged the battery. Worth opening it up and checking what the battery looks like. On another website the user over charged his and the battery swelled up and doubled in size!

Won't it stop charging if it reaches a particular voltage? Mine is fine after charging a whole day, still works and records fine...


Men don't need instructions *spits!*
Ahahha. Funniest thing I've read all day.
Aside from setting the date, operating this can be figured out by yourself tbh...

I agree with MRK/Khan, the day I will actually need to read an instruction manual to understand some electronic device will be a sad day.

Nope, it's in the faq of the 808 cam site. Vid only.

Yeah, I got mine from him VERY quickly under 2 weeks...
I've ordered 6 now in 1 box/package but I've paid through paypal gift and it's not through ebay any more ( got a 5% discount though), hope he doesn't double cross me as now he can easily :p.
Lets see how long they last on my mountain bike :P
Long I think, mine came in damaged ( treated badly enough that a bit of the casing has broken off) but it works fine, not a single issue.



Probably going to buy a wide angle lens for it if I get the extra 6 cams in, a wider angle can be very nice for recording some trips better.
 
I charged mine overnight and it still works fine. i just assumed that it would cut out when fully charged, like mobiles do.
