What is the FlyCamOne2
The FlyCamOne2 is a tiny and lightweight digital videocamera. It records video with sound, makes still pictures and has an integrated motion detector.
It saves the video footage on an SD Card (not included). This card can than be inserted into a computer to transfer the videos.
It's also possible to connect the cam directly to the computer and transfer the videofiles per included USB Cable.
With a small weight of only 37 gramm this camera is ideal for mounting it to model airplanes, -cars or -helicopters. But it can film almost wherever you like.
The FlyCamOne2 is also used in sports. It films from a mountain bike, skateboard, boat or even from your Kite.
There are several accessories available like a waterproof case, a remote control cable, headset or extra batterie.
The lens can swivel 90 degrees and the recording can be rotated by 180 degrees to allow filming from difficult positions.
