Maybe it was just the angle into the sun that washed out the colors but the video looks like it was shot in the 70s. I think its a nice effect.

For $12/ea you could mount several on the glider. Cameras are a great learning tool. Reliving your flights and sharing with friends are fringe benefits for me.

See there ya go! he didn't tell you the camera was from the 70's either!.

No but really its not bad, I can see it only records what looks like max of 640 resolution, still for twelve buck that aint too bad.

And I thought I was using the cheapest camera at 19.99. I got cheap beat. On the bright side, compared to that, my video looks like cinemax. It's all good though, 'cause we be flying!

yeah,the resolution is the usual 640 x 480; but the thing is they are tiny and you can duct tape them anywhere

I have the 720 and it's just slightly better. Doesn't adjust to sunlight quick enough.
Focus is closeup only and stabilization is non existent, but for $20 it's Ok.
