    This is actually pretty neat and the price is reasonable ($39). Performance wise it's about like the keychain camera, but it has several features that make it much better. It's especially nice that you can adjust the sensor position and control the operation from one of your radio channels. If you want to use manual controls, the buttons are on the side where you can get to them. Just wish the shape wasn't so goofy for mounting. I guess you can't have everything. :)

    Wow, that's a really good deal. Especially like the remote function to operate from our radios. Great find!

    As an injection molder you know how much work a 3D shape is instead of a simple square 2 1/2 D, so they go to all this extra work to make something worse for mounting and dealing with......

    At least they were smart enough not to put the buttons under the Velcro you're going to have to install. I really like the radio control feature. Be nice to bypass all the video we take of our arms, legs, and grass. Also nice to have the option to shoot stills. I was surprised how cheap it was coming from Horizon. I'm going to search for some reviews.

    Oh well... I just watched some videos from this thing and it wasn't nearly as good as the keychain camera. In fact, it really looked poor. I think if you want a really nice little camera and don't mind spending a bit more, the Mobius HD is the answer ($75).
