Got a link to the camera?
I'll try to find the link, got it in December of last year from hong kong Camera weighs only 17 grams...can't even feel it in your hand, yet still shooots 720p at 30fps.

I bought it to fly on my rc plane, tested it out on the plane last week and the vantage point turned out pretty good...

yea theres a couple vids, the famous one is the guy flooring it through early morn paris streets, and the getaway series is great too with the nsx.

those little under bumper lip things always sound worse than it is.

do you worry about showing your neighbourhood where you live in the vid?
no man doesn't concern me...there's always a swat/ undercover car 2 houses down (guy is a cop).... Another one in front is a police detective with all kinds of security..... plus there is another car in the driveway blocking the car...and lastly I work from home full time

That airplane view would be an awesome way to get some coverage for a show or meet!

Do you have a link for that plane? lol

Ps- nice landings!

It would be cool if you could mount like an Iphone with facechat or something to the plane and have a monitor that you could watch and maybe fly the plane a bit of a distance away. Thats cool though either way!

Man as naive as it sounds, did not know about that. As a precaution I've taken the video down. Thanks for the heads up.

I've got a live feed camera on a pan and tilt mount with a head tracker. Basically I fly with a birds eye view sitting in the cocpit, and as I turn my head with the video googles, the plane senses the movement and looks in the direction I am looking. Plus I have an on screen display that shows the live GPS data and direction to home with full telemetry, like a HUD from an F-16. I've modified the RC transmitter and video receiver for better range performance. Also, I have a "fly to home" feature that allows the plane to fly back to the launch spot and hold a pattern. This is done if I lose signal, and a fail safe is automatically activated. Can preprogram waypoints via GPS as well for auto pilot. Although I can only fly out about 5 km at the momment. I haven't recorded any videos yet, but will probably do so in the next few weeks when the weather improves. Technology sure has come a long way. A few years ago this would cost 10s of thousands, now about 1500 bucks for good gear with decent range.

Here is a sample of what I am talking about, with the right system you can get serious height and distance:
