Nah, i tape it to the side of my shoe facing upwards for those with skirts on, or tape it to my head for POV casting.

Bump!

My #3 keyring camera died when I was trying to get some RC car footage. Is the #16 posted above still the one to go for? Much difference between that and the old #3?

Also anyone know a decent seller on ebay that definitely supplies the #16?

Thanks.

One more try before I just take a gamble and get a #16 camera.

Is the #16 worth paying £25 for, over the £9 #3 one?

alexthecheese · 9 Feb 2012 at 10:57

The #3 isn't HD, the #11 and #16 are (720p). There's only slight differences between the 11 ad 16, notably I think the battery is interchangeable without soldering.

For £110 there's a new one that's on rcGroups and that's 1080p. Terrible audio though, unless that's already been fixed.

You can get the 1080 ones from ebay for £38 i just looked.

Pretty amazing technology to fit a 1080p in to a tiny thing like that. It also does 60fps at 720p, wow. for those action shots

Those won't be the ones I am referring to - and won't be proper 1080p, they will be upscaled 1080p. Not worth risking.

The keychain cameras are reviewed by this guy, who is behind all the numbers #3, #13, #16 etc.

Ok, I have two of the 480p ones, I haven't used them in a while but I think that the batteries have died.

The yellow light comes on when I plug it in to a USB charger, but when I try to power it up when its not plugged in to the usb I get nothing, nil, nada.

I'm gonna try and take one apart and see what the voltage on the battery is. I have a feeling that they may go flat if you leave them for too long.

Are replacement batteries available for these and if so where from?

Thanks

Edit: is there any footage of the number 16 cam on YouTube in 720p?

Mark A · 15 Feb 2012 at 03:05

I found this when I as looking into getting one. I managed to get my #3 working again, so I don' think i will bother getting a `16 yet.

Anyone got any links for a decent 720p ones? Be great for the bike.
