Default RE: Bonehead question.....

Hi Kliff,
If an easy all in one video setup is what you're looking for, try the one-time use camcorder from cvs pharmacy. You can buy them for about 30 bucks. They older models can be hacked so you can use them over and over again. You get 20 minutes of video and with the software you can get online, you can download the video to your computer and use the camera again. The camera itself is about 2 inches wide and 4 inches high. It weighs about 5 or so ounces with the 2 aa batteries. I bought a battery holder and mounted the batteries on top of the receiver so the camera woudle be a little lighter wherever I mounted it. It can be mounted just about anywhere on your plane and not effect the cg much. Some people take it apart and just mount the camera.(it has an lcd screen on the back)If you want more info, go to camerahackers.com. I bought mine from a guy on e-bay for 60 bucks. He did all the work and I had all the fun. check out the link below. this is my first video. it was a little windy that day but you can see, the quality is pretty good [link]http://media.putfile.com/avistar-movie[/link]
