You can see the quality of video that you get with the Spyhawk, here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=wAtt0NbyuFg

I think that it's not at all bad, for the money. And the auto-stab works great.

It's not bad given the price. Certainly much better than some of the cameras I've tried including the FlyCamOne2.

However you still see the "jello" effect because the effective shutter speed is quite low.

You also get a bit of a hazy non-vibrant image. The optics are not able to recover from bright light exposure quickly, etc.

This is where you see the difference between a better camera and not.

Ultimately it boils down to what results the buyer expects. I wanted something better than the Spyhawk, comparable to some of the better HQ flying videos.

But in lieu of that demand, the Spyhawk looks like a good compromise.

That said, range-wise you'll do better with a NON-FPV choice.

I believe the Spyhawk is FPV only right?
