Good Morning All!
Thought I'd share my Key chain camera experience. The camera was ordered on ebay and received in about 7 days from Hong Kong. It shoots good stills and good video. It uses and external TF (Micro SD) card.
The instructions are microscopic and poorly translated in to English. I rewrote the instructions and with the help of a couple other sources figured out how to set the date and time.
