Here is a update on my micro digital camcorder setup. I took the outer shell off and modifed the camera to use a rechargeable lypo battery. The battery is used for the camera and the altimeter. Before, the stock camera with two AA batteries weighed 60 grams and now the camera, battery, altimeter, and foam weighs only 29 grams! I have ground tested the camera and altimeter and both word just fine, can't wait to put this in a rocket and do some testing.reno1 wrote:Hi, just wanted to show off my new micro digital camcorder. Only cost me 29 bucks! But the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here. Video resolution is only 320*240 @ 10fps with sound, but it will do me just fine. It weighs 60 grams with the batteries, but can be trimmed down. Will fit inside of a FTC tube and record up to 360 seconds of video. Can't wait to try it out!

I looked for this camera while at WalMart today. Does anyone know if they are still being sold?

Re: Micro Digital Camcorder
I saw them at Super Wal-Mart back in February. I know Super Wal-Mart and regular Wal-mart often carry different products. Maybe you can check another store?A5Ben wrote:I looked for this camera while at WalMart today. Does anyone know if they are still being sold?
