Tim,

Do you have any additional advice having owned this for a while? I just got one 2nd hand and am waiting for a 1gb SD card (99p from Amazon) to arrive. Sadly I don't own a single glider or flyable leccy job, so it will be going on my smooth as silk FW190 with a 4 stroke up front.

I too have a FC1 and couple of things to note are

1) dont point the cam through prop, Makes for a messy vid

2) Mount the cam on foam or something similar that will absorb the vibrations

3) make sure the way your mounting it doesn't switch it back off ( ask me why I check)

4 ) Don't leave it switched on if your not using it ( the small lipo can be destroyed if fully discharged.

5) Slow smooth flying makes for a good vid, Loops rolls and furious flying makes for allot of horizon flashing.

I think this should help

Best R's

Hi SC -  as Lee says really.... and watch out for the mirror - easily damaged - especially the rubber fixing,  the tiny on/off switch has broken on mine too,  and remeber when using the mirror - you get a mirror image !! Overall though, excellent value gizmo- i beleive there is a new version just released.

The mirror can be fixed by cutting up a DVD and replacing the glass mirror supplied

The rubber fixings are already a goner. I bought this to see how I got on, before possibly upgrading to the new version.

 Lee, is the finish on a DVD good enough?

Mounting it is a worry. I don't really want a piece of velcro on every model I use it on, so I will have to think up a truely detachable, concealed, anti vibration system instead.

Yeah the DVD is what I use and works aswell as the standard mirror and seems to stand up to hard landings
