I haven't played with it much yet to test the video quality, but I'm pretty sure it's on par with all the other sub-$100 micro digital cams on the market.

The FCO2 only supports a 2GB card, so that one's pretty much out.

You having good luck with yours champ?

To cheap not to try ?

Sweet.

Try to post a vid in my cam thread ay?

Shit these things are entertaining enough even strapped to a pet!

"PET" Is that what you call your Crank ??
Don't think I wanna see videos of something hairy playing hide and seek

Dam PP3310, Just noticed your avatar has Camel Toe.

A little trouble at home lately? Seems to be something on your mind. Off the topic (sorry Brian) but I guess I need a change

I guess I'll continue the off-topic and ask a question: What is the deal with girls and cat ears and tail? Maybe it's because I'm not into anime, but if I was at a bar looking to hook up, any girl sporting a tail and a set of furry ears would get a polite but definite NO THANKS!.

To be honest, it has never interested me until I started looking for avatars. I figure it's all in the name of fun. If it's offensive to maybe some of the younger veiwers then I'll change but nobody has said anything.

My wife also thinks I'm disfunctional

BrianG · 11.18.2009, 11:30 PM

No, it doesn't matter to me, just curious that's all.

I haven't tested on my RC's yet, so not sure on how well it will perform while driving, or how well the remote receiver cable works. The tests I've done out of the vehicles have been pretty decent, but they don't deal with the vibrations and speed of putting the cam into an RC.

I don't see why the 2Gb MicroSD card limit would be a problem. BrianG said he was only looking to record the most recent 5 minutes of video, and 2Gb is enough to store far more than that. Regardless of the memory card capacity, the FlyCam is capable of continuous recording while overwriting the previous footage, which from what I've gleaned seems like what BrianG is aiming for. The FlyCamOne2 isn't the newest or greatest model, but it might do the trick perfectly for BrianG purposes.

Some good info about cops gone BAD,

BrianG · 11.19.2009, 01:39 PM

lol, that's probably a bit more than I expect to record. I'm just looking to record the stupid crap cops do that they would stop/ticket other citizens for. Things like turning on the blues just to go through a light, burning rubber on take-off, excessive speeding for no reason, doing donuts in a T intersection of a secluded back road, etc.

True with the overwrite it may not be a problem.
You never know what you may end up filming however, or how long an 'altercation' may be...

if powered externally then the only limit to recording time is the card, The only other reason I'd see not to use the FCO is because it's slow going thru the functions, and most people wouldn't want to mess with it in a hurry.

For the OBV I'd just play with a few different mounting options, hope it works well for you.

Whatever camera I get will probably be the card type. With the amount of write cycles I will be putting through it, I'll probably hit the ~100k write cycle limit before too long where memory errors start happening. At least with the card-memory type, when that happens, I just get a new card instead of a whole new camera. A fast 1GB card should be plenty memory to hold around 5 minutes at high quality video.

Don't know if your still interested in this idea.
