Hi everyone,

I just finished watching Gordon's Pin Cushon video and Doug's onboard video, and I have to say I am impressed! This has inspired me to want to try one of these CVS cameras myself. Although I do not know of any CVS stores around my area, I searched on Ebay and came up with a camcorder from Rite Aid that looks strikingly similar to the CVS camera. (Possibly the same camera, just with a Rite Aid logo on it?)
Here's an Ebay search on them, the designations of them seem very similar also.

Now I have heard that the model 220 and 230 are not hackable? I will try to stop by a Rite Aid next time I am out and see if there are some 200's in there. (I hope so!) If these are the same cameras, it will be a big help since they are readily available here in the Bay Area. If I am able to get one of these, it will be used on a prop plane, so I understand that it will probably have to be isolated extremely well from vibration to get a clear picture? I will have to check the camerahack sites, but is it possible to up the resolution of the camera to get a better picture? I can do with having just 10 minutes of video recording as long as it is at a little higher quality.

I don't know how well it will work having all of the camera surface out there to take forward or aft video, might be a little hard to attach to the airplane. Has anyone figured out a direct plugged in cable to allow just the camera lense to be on the outside of the airplane? Seems like it would be a lot more convenient, but I don't really want to spend too much on an onboard camera right now.

Any and All input is greatly appreciated!(and sorry for the bombardment of questions)

Thanks,
Brandon
