Cameras for filming flights

Nice one Dan, did you clip the grass with the first inverted?

I use one of the 808 #11 cams and it's excellent for the price. The only thing to be aware of when cap mounting any of these is you have to move your head, not just follow the heli with your eyes.

I've currently got 2 808's stuck on my plank, one facing forward and one back for picture in picture video. I used to stick them to the helis but the vibes can make for uncomfortable viewing.
You can also get sunglasses with the same type of camera fitted into the arms and the lens part on the nose bridge, quite discreet, but not the best and struggle with infinity focus.

I've also tried velcroing a Sony Bloggie to a baseball cap which works well, but you look like a total eejit!

So far I've killed about 4 808's and 3 pairs of sunglasses, mostly by sitting on them

the 808 worked well on electric on 2 double sided pads , no viaration on the film , on a nitro the viabrations cause lines and quite sever picture distortion but we where just messing about , as garry ( woodster ) and few others suggested it should work slung between the skids on elastic ,, unfortunatly i cant fly em yet to do some tests ;-).

Yeah it was the later ones that shoot HD footage I was interested in, hence going for the 808 #16 as the picture quality I'm seeing out of the HD ones is great. More expensive than the one you've linked to granted.
