Nice one, i’m sure the FPV brigade will be looking at that.
Great camera module, thanks for sharing.
Nice… I have at least a couple uses for that 
Just saw the product showcase…looks like a pretty cool camera. A tad spendy, but could be fun. 
Ever hear of an “808 camera”? Sure, it’s shady, sure it’s from China, sure, it has quality issues, both in the hardware and firmware department. It’s also under $10 shipped.
Actually, we just did. Interesting stuff. There are newer ones what claim 1080p for 60 bucks (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270894808868&refid=store&ssPageName=STORE:HTMLBUILDER:SIMPLEITEM) Sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know about why these cameras are so “cheap”
@ kurtnelle - maybe because they send you the pictured car fob instead? at least they can say “what you see is what you get”
The car fob IS the camera. It’s a tiny little camera. Hopefully, they do send you the pictured car fob!
Do a search in google. the quality can be horrible, the frame rate can be horrible, as can the dropped frames.
In some of them they claim HD but they take a low res imager and upscale the image in software. that does not improve the image quality.
All and all you get what you pay for, but i wont pay $160 or what ever sparkfun charges…
I understand, thanks Errol
I can’t speak to the 1080P camera, but for under $10, the 808 cameras are good enough for me.
