I've been searching for this camera high and low.. NOBODY in the states stocks it. I found a few sites which have it listed (Hobby Lobby) and when I called they said they are waiting for a newer model of the camera, but don't know exactly when it will be in.

I found the black camera that is similar, but it lacks the 45 degree mirrored carriage the Flycamone comes with. I supposed I could fashion one, but it'd be nice to have a clean all in one package.

Well I just found the original model on Ebay, so I ordered it. Finally some showed up!

I will probably buy the new model as well when it becomes available.

On the Page http://www.flycamone.de/ you can see a release date for germany/europe, so it should be available from 11/20/2007, for USA there is a release date listed for the 11/30/2007

Thanks, I'll probably be picking one up. In the meantime, I'll have fun with the original when it comes in.

I'm going to watch this thread. E-bay has a dealer for version 1 which I haven't checked in a few days. Looking forward to trying this camera. it sounds great.

A green cast indicated white balance problem. I don't think these cameras have manual settings for these sort of things.

Mine arrived yesterday. I took a few videos around the house and so far, for what it is, I'm impressed. I'll be taking some flight videos today, and I'll post them later.

Well I flew today but didn't take any video as I was testing the plane out after repairing some crash damage. I will fly and get video tomorrow.

but you will need Arcsoft photoimpression software .. it came free with my camera you can set the white balance, gamma, saturation etc. I just didn't know which to change to correct it..

Does anybody know where to get version 2 and is it better than version 1,... by what degree?
I use a wireless 2.4Ghz video system currently, but it add almost a pound to my boat. I am a slug in water, pun intended. I have just noticed a micro DVR recorder on E-Bay for a lot more money than FlyCamOne which could help in the recording.

Now my camera works great but the support mechanism adds weight and I don't see anything bettter in the wireless arena. I'd like to try one of the FlyCamOne but will wait till the BUGS are squished.

Comprendo!

According to the website, the FCO v2 will be available in the US on November 20th (scroll up a bit, 3rd post in the thread.)

www.hobby-lobby.com will be carrying them - I called a few weeks ago and they said they would get no more of the v1 cameras in, but when the v2 came out, they would be selling them.

As far as that other camera on ebay, that is a huge ripoff. It's the same as the FCO but doesn't even come with the mirrored cradle.

There's one FCO on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-RC-Flycamone-Air-Heli-Rckt-Micro-VIDEO-CAMERA-MIB_W0QQitemZ130169930524QQihZ003QQcategoryZ48634QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

It's the same place I ordered mine from, and I had it from AZ to TN in two days. It works great!
