Hi All.
Got a q5 mini DV camera. Q5 Mini Dv Camera - Buy Q5,Mini Dv,Mini Camera Product on Alibaba.com
Really tiny and fairly impressed with the results for the grand total of about 18 quid delivered with a 8gb memory card.
Wanted to see how much swash travel I was using as can actually bottom out at extreme travels on the bench. The red line is the worst case scenario depending on the angle of the swash and in reality looks like I never even get close while flying. Had it strapped on the tail and the vibes made the video go a bit wonky. Later ones are better.

Then I tired strapping it onto the skid. Not so bad but once again need to work on the mounting to reduce vibes.

Last place I tried was on the top of the canopy. With the canopy being rubber mounted it was a lot smoother. Just started running out of light. Looked a bit darker in the video than it was but last flight of the day. You can see the lights of the beer festival getting going for the night. Thank god that is over now my flying spot might get back to its normally fairly quite place. Well quiet for China.

Videos got reduced a lot to upload to you tube. With a bit of fine tuning should get much better quality. Its no "gopro" but for the price and size its a winner in my book.
Cheers
