Default Wingtip Camera

Actually normal small camcorders can be used, that often do come with a
remote control. You really need to make some sort of proper mount out of
aluminium sheet or fibreglass that fits round the front of the wing. Then
hold it in place with gaffer tape. There is surprisingly little effect on
the handling or performance of the glider, but don't let the FAA or EASA
catch you doing it!

Anybody have a recommendation for a small thin digital camera with
decent quality that might be suitable for taping to a winglet for
inflight down-the-wing shots, with a connection for an rf remote?
Have not been able to find a small camera with remote option.
Thanks...
