newb...pocketcam 1.3???
I am just getting into aerial photography (never tried it) and am looking for some equipment. I am thinking of getting an aiptek pocketcam 1.3 ($15.00) but do not know if it is going to be ok for this. Also, how would I triger it? just a servo that presses the button or would I have to find a switch somewhere? The link to the camera is:

Thanks for the input!!!
(I am flying a MM magpie if that matters....)

RE: newb...pocketcam 1.3???
you can use a servo to "push" the button or you can open it up and fiddle around with the button and find a way to make some sort of switch where the servo conects 2 peices of wire (from the button) -- dont worry if it doesnt make sense
but ive had a similar camera like that and it could take pictures unless its dead still..
and quality isnt that good..
but it does ok... for $15 id buy it..
i would buy it but i spent all my money and saving to get age of empires 3 which is comming out in the uk in 2nd nov
