Mini keyring-sized digital camera/camcorder

hd 720p video spy cam for 9 quid? this cannot be real surely..

720x480 isn't 720p it's 480p.

 

[BloodyL]

Indeed, 1280x720 is 720p.

 

[Gerard]

Ordered

 

[Aod]

thats a SDHC card, the camera can use this?

apparently it can - almost all the talk mentions using 4 or 8GB SDHC cards...

720x480 isn't 720p it's 480p.

which is NTSC-DVD resolution, so not bad at all!

 

[molinari]

Just ordered 2 from the OP .

 

[ajstan]

The seller of that item should just post it on every forum! The amount of people buying it on here! I'm very tempted as well though

720x480 isn't 720p it's 480p.

edit: still tempted to order, not sure though, these chinese made cheap gadgets tend to break within minutes.

 

[JRY]

£2 more

I've just ordered one of these. On one of the videos earlier there was footage from this camera with it clipped to a sun visor. It was pretty good! For a tenner it is worth a go, even if I gaffa tape the thing to a part of the car as I go around.

That being said, if I can kick off the keyring ones, tape to the side of the car and use as a cheap bullet cam (not checked the price though).

Ordered one from the OP.

Planning on recasing, upping battery capacity and extending on/off button and status LED.

Grille mounted bullet cam with stop/start in the cabin. Ah yeah.

Yep, I think that is what I'm going to do as well. I'm guessing though that there will be a lot of wind noise come through? (cant watch the youtube vids with sound at work )

 

[randal]

The vid of the Nissan floating about wasn't too bad for wind noise, if it did get bad though I was considering knocking up a deflector to sit in front of it. Or reposition the mic so it's at the back of the assembly.

 

[MickeyFinns]

Just bought one

Plan to mount it on the headstock of a guitar looking down the neck for cheesysey guitar solo footage

 

[ajstan]

Wait so which one do I buy to get the better quality audio? the one in the OP?

Yep.

 

[Radiation]

Cool, will have to get one at some point, though i can't wait to see what you lot do with them.

Make sure to use them in interesting and silly places, like on your shoe while you walk around (try shopping or work), bicycle wheel, pet, kite or helium balloon on a string, firework/model rocket, on the end of a piece of string while you swing it around etc, im sure we can come up with some better stuff!

 

[randal]

Tethered helium balloon is a great idea, unless you're going to combine it with a GPS locator. Anyone found a link for a cheap one of those?

 

[Tefal]

That's amazing quality from something so small and cheap

What length of video can it do?

 

[Amnesia]

tell her the first woman you will be spying on...will be her.

that should convince her.

From what I've read it works out at about 1gb for 15 mins of video, but it's version dependant. One of the versions (5 iirc) chops the video off at 50 mins and then automatically starts another file.

Have a look on http://www.chucklohr.com/808/ for more info.
