Bruce... maybe a new Forum under Electronics and Radios for non-FPV cameras? Or somewhere else.
FYI
Quote from Bruce on his You Tube Channel
"#11 keychain camera (HD) but there's now a #16 which I'll be reviewing soon"
My post...
"YAAAAAAY! At last, a H.264 version! (supposed to be)
Sick em Bruce! I want proof that they're using that codec!
$46 Au delivered by the one seller on eBay that came up in a quick search.
To the unfamiliar that's the compression used on the video stream... used in
Bluray."

Claims made on eBay by that seller... I must say it does sound to good to be true -
"What’s special about this new 808 #16 camera?
1. Sometimes you may don’t want 720P recording to save battery and memory card capacity, now you can toggle video output frame size from 1280x720 30fps (default), to 848x480 30fps, or 640x480 30fps.
2. Low battery buzzing artifact in video -Gone!
3. A connector added for the internal battery, making it changeable by users who don’t like soldering. You don’t have to throw your camera away when the battery dies. You just need a new battery and change it!
4. A connector added to the lens/sensor module, make it possible to replace or upgrade it when new module's available.
5. New Lens and totally new circuit board design. You will see below improvements in video:
- Overall sharpness: improved
- White balance control / color shifting issue: improved
- Saturation / and contrast boost issue: colors look much more natural now
- Darker corner/edge vignetting issue: improved
6. You only need one Standard USB Data cable for charging and data exchange with your computer. You don’t need another special charging cable to record videos while charging. Just one cable is OK.
7. It supports audio volume control, and you can even get it mute to save battery and helps to increase the recording time when the audio is not needed, it can be set by TXT config tool.
8. It supports optional Loop Recording; it can be set by TXT config tool.
9. You can set the date and time (white much smaller on the lower left corner), and toggle the date/time stamp on or off, by TXT config tool.
1. Optional AVI output: we also have another firmware option available which will output .AVI file format, using the same H.264 codec, and it offers seamless recording (there is no lost video between clips). If you need it, please send a message to us, and we will send it to you by email.
1. And more. Please find more details in the PDF manual. And of course on RC Forum Tom Frank’s great thread, you will find lots of helpful information there.
1. When you work as pc camera, do not need to insert TF card, just power on, and then connect PC would be ok."
