Have you by any chance got a link to exact one you've bought? I know they come with different lenses, despite the number is the same.

90% sure it's this one.

808#16 is the one you want. It's available with different lenses. Lens D is the fish eye one

For all info in the 808 keychain cameras, check out Chuck Lohr's site.

If you don't want the choice of modding the lens as on the #16 then why not get a #18, very similar spec but slightly different and works just fine, no problems with my one. I think the #16 is mainly popular due to the customisable options but the quality is no better.

I bought mine for £20 incl p&p from here: [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271106024516?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]Mini 808 HD camera #18 KeyChain DVR Camera HD 720P/30fps H.264 audio video cam | eBay[/URL]

I wonder if you could actually remove the camera itself, to vibration proof it, or mount it differently, and then have the main part tucked away somewhere...

Would make installation on planks more interesting ;)

James I have an 808 cam that died and you are welcome to dissect it if you wish ;-)

Guys,

I got the 808#16 cam; what are your preferred advance image settings for recording helis?

[QUOTE=aparkin;994955]don't be shy share the proof[/QUOTE]

The cam shoots great quality for what it is, but i'm a bit shy about my ability :blush5:

But if you insist here is a quick test i did with it stuck to my 130x (hence the vibes) just to see how it did ;)
