pretty cool view.

Enjoy (best in 480). *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POuR5YH5gcM

nice video! I have one of these cameras also, I use a 4gb card and
usually end up with about an hour of raw footage. problem is native
format does not load into Sony Vegas, but I downloaded a free video
converter and converted the .avi file to a mpeg file and Vegas reads
it.

the soaring/tech/nerd community needs to use one of these types of
cameras, merge it with simple RC gear and repackage it into a slick
little housing that can be taped onto the glider and remotely turned
on and off. then we could have more usable footage and longer videos.
