An amateur soaring video...

Folks,

I've been playing with $10 key cams lately.
Here's the result of last sunday:

Have fun.
Don't forget to turn up the volume.

The video is nice.

I'm curious about the camera. Do you have a link to a source or details?

Thanks,

Paul Remde

Hi Andreas,

Amazing quality for such a low cost camera. How did you attach it to
the glider and how long will it record for?

I simply used double-sided adhesive tape to attach the camera and
fibre tape as an additional safety measure. The camera is so light and
small that you can attach it anywhere.


It records about 45 minutes until the battery runs out, but it can use
up to 32 GB cards which would allow about 8 hrs of video.
I'm using a 4 GB card.

Hi Derek,

an annotation concerning the quality of the cameras:

They are even better than what shows up in YouTube (at the moment I'm
far from having perfected the video codec optimization, YouTube
demands some special formats to achieve best quality).

If you look closely (especially on the Ka-8 video), you can see that
one camera has a sharpness problem on the upper right edge.

Flaws and all, still very impressive for the price. I'm going to try
to get 4 or 5 of them ASAP!

Hi Andreas - I tried to post a link on the coments page for the video
(nice and clear by the way). Here's the message I tried to post:

Neat stuff - amazingly clear! You can change the date stamp easily
(see he
http://www.chucklohr.com/808/#SetDateTime).

Also, please tell me how you attached the cameras to the outside of
the glider?

I know - but so far i haven't figured out why the camera looses its
date from time to time.

I've been playing with a filter for virtual dub - it removes nearly
all of the time stamp.


Also, please tell me how you attached the cameras to the outside of

Simple: double sided adhesive tape. The camera is so light and small
that this is completely sufficient.
