You too can have a very versatile HD video camera that’s can dual and an onboard camera for aerial photography and as a Hat Cam to capture those flying moments.

There are a vast array of miniature cameras available, but the best and most versatile is the KeyCam 808 #16. There are threads on RCgroups and on the internet that address all aspects of its operation and use.

The genuine Keycam 808 #16 is available from Ebay (user Electponline365)
