HobbyKing Mini 30fps Camera

[killioughtta]

After waiting so long to purchase that surprisingly good-looking mini sport spycam, here come my favorite hobby shop with it in style: Hobby King just released the Turnigy 30FPS Ultra-mini digicam with a 2GB micro SD card!

It's the same one we've been talking about for months but under the Turnigy brand and in WHITE! It looks great but I'm too late; I already bought mine on ebay for the SAME price.

I bet a lot of people are going to buy this one.

I would be WARY of this camera just like it's predecessor

HK actually had to pull its original 'Turnigy 30 fps'cam cause of so many complaints about its terrible quality...but with no reports on this new one lets only hope its much better, you can let us know!



The KEYFOB camera is much easier to mount than a stick or gumtype cam like this, and with 2gb ram, about 19 $ shipped....alot less $$ too and SHARP and crisp 720/480 30 fps video

happy shopping either way mate

Where did you find the keyfob for $19?? I found some for $40 (www.panicpot.com/servlet/the-29/Hidden-Spy-Cam-Car/Detail), $50 (www.amazon.com/Pinecom-CK808-Pinhole-Camera-Camcorder/dp/B002OU1QYI), and $60 (www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/c52b/?cpg=froogle), but nothing that low.

I did watch the video on ThinkGeek demo'ing the product, and it does take some great video, very clear. Here is a few other vids I found of actual flights (only found one SC vid):

EDIT: The ones I found were 4GB, hence the price jump, but having a hard time finding a 2GB one.

Try this one. You need a card, but it's cheap and works well.

For $20 it's worth a try, man. And it's white so it's hard to see under the Cub; if that helps, anyway.

You guys talked me into getting one. I bought this item: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370319525177&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D370319525177%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 ("4GB MINI Spy Camera Key Chain Video Camcorder 720x480" if the link died) Which is the same as what you posted, but comes with a 4GB card for $24 shipped! I'm excited.

The link for the 13 $ keyfob is in this thread, and the memory was 6 shipped and found here:

cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290379179620&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

also on this thread is a 4gb for 24 shipped also a great deal

again folks, people are reporting the keyfobs videos are sharper and clearer than most gumsticks, and usually cheaper, and MUCH easier to mount and use

happy shopping!
