Check this out what i won through ebay bids, got me 2 units of MINI DV MD80 (clone), a micro video cam recorder which i always wanted to have so small enough i could stick on my helmet, on my bike or on my R/C models to records on going events happens around me on video print. Its also another good investment and insurance to protect me on dangerous road when going cycling. Who know someday if get knock by irrenponsible driver i could actually got the evidence recorded in my Mini DV. Glad it came in very handy. As for my review, this clone MD80 comes with 720x480 resolution running at 29-30fps, runtime of 2 hours (i guess) consume almost 2GB for 30 minutes recording, support max up to 16GB recording. It need to use micro SD card to store the video which doesn't come in the box, so i bought separately a 4GB SANDISK type 4 for smoother recording but i should get type 6 with 16GB max. USB connectable/rechargeable, voice activated, thumbs size,CMOS cam, include lots of brackets holder, optional rubber protection and cheap price was a good value camera just the right job.
Here you go, a recorded video on board my Mini Monster race against NRX-18 (Akiraceo from MCnet forum) that we race today. That was a cool chase. Sorry for the poor onboard video cam record quality because i record on SONY W200i handphone cam (very small light phone) and accidentally set the color mode to black and white. Both R/C using same Brushless System (Castle Creation SideWinder Micro ESC). We played on round looped circuit car park. Played a few good laps.
Thank goodness the mini monster chassis and supple suspension helps stabilized the car while carry heavy cam on board. I think that the most ideal speed to record, not too fast not too slow just good enough to record the chase.
