Wow that would have some effect on top-end performance!
I have a very small one maybe 50x15x10 but it only does 640p
I suppose it's only a matter of time before the 1080p microcameras appear at a reasonable price.
My aerial footage meantime also has what looks lie a thumbprint across the top RH corner!
It must be a tiny blemish as the lens element is all of 3mm

I really do like the toys we have today and so cheap , my first RC unit cost me $275NZ back in 1978 .... hang on ...

my first working weekly wage back then was a meager $39.45centsNZ !

What started off as a great morning at the park ended up with me climbing a tree to get the plane. I was experimenting with the camera in different positions and trying to do fly-bys over the tree tops.... I guess I learnt a lesson!

In other news I took Marty's helicopter out and it ascended and would go backwards but going forwards was a real effort. It was about 30 metres high and I turned it around to come back to me, backwards ... and the blades just tangled up and it fell ... thud. Looks like another repair mission!

Here's my glider video

After the troubles I had here again, wonder if they would have been less forgiving had he caught a convict doing crime - I could done with something like that a couple nights back without the nanzy panzy music ... and with the swearing and cursing, I had a visit from those in charge surpose to be watching them ... maybe Adam Crouchley could get a job using his skill to help the Police ...

Dangerous Nah .. when the convicts get out off line ... run em down and chase the gits with his RCA ... Clark Kent indeed
