Hey,

Just noticed this camera http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17200 on the new items list at HK, looking at some of the recently uploaded video's this looks like amazing quality for $35. Obviously its not a complete unit with mounting brackets or the like but looks like it could be a viable option for someone wanting good quality true 720p video capture that can't afford the $300 for a GoPro.

Comes complete with a 850mah lipo battery with up to 3 hours of video capture and can handle a 32gb micro SD card. Looks a HUGE ammount better than the cheapo supposed 720p MD mini cams that drop half the frames and tear the pictures when they are subjected to vibrations.
 
i bought this one a couple of month ago and i really like it the quality is amazing for the price and there is an external 12 volts car plug for making longer video that you could set up with your own 12 volts source (dc to dc, 12 volts bat etc)

Test video from the hobbyking comments.

This is definitely a better camera than the MD80 clones that hobbyking has been selling. Doesn't come close to the gopro though, even the cheaper gopro 960. That light adjustment hurts..

If you shop around on google shopping, you can find the gopros for $50+ off.
