Nev Haycox Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi CC, Yes I bought one recently and it works here is the link to the seller. This one has the wide angle D (120 degree) lens. Check the sellers other items, he has cameras with A and B lens also, Nev. Edited By Racing Snake on 10/06/2013 19:34:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd agree with RS - eletoponline has a good reputation within the keycam fraternity - my #16 is stilll going strong. Plenty of info on Chuck Lohr's site, too - and there's a link to Tom Frank's RCG megathread with useful software, info etc Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob..... Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 got mine there as well.no probs at all. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Me too, we bought three #16s for bike racing, almost as good as my lads £200 GoPro The RCG thread is a must read. Lots of information you need to be aware of if you're buying a keycam. **LINK** Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I bought this one and it takes all my plane videos. At the price if it lasted a month it would still be a bargain! It actually lasted nearly a year before the battery failed. The expensive bit is the micro SD card as you need a good one! I did replace the battery (fiddly) and really not much point as it cost very nearly as much as a new camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get the wide angle lens (0.67) and glued it to the front . Check the 'bay for lens for iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You can also get the #16 camera and spare/replacement battery and SD card from a UK company so no worries about long post times. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Whiskey Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Seems more expensive though WF ! I had the #16 from Hong Kong or China (not sure) and it was a great little cam, I had it fitted to a heli, when I got a bit over excited and did a high stall turn and it fell off in to long grass - never did find it despite searching lots of time with a metal detector ! I preferred the narrow lens to the wide angle one. Edited By Delta Whiskey on 11/06/2013 14:56:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yes, I imagine they pay import duty and VAT etc they also have a profit to make. The plus side is they are UK based so UK distance selling rules and protection apply for people who don't want to order from China.I don't have anything to do with this company BTW.

Phil Green Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 As an example, this was taken with two #16 keycams from eletoponline365 : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my youngest, the bike he's mostly chasing is my eldest. Both cams have the B lens. Cant remember why but I wasnt riding that day. This is my eldest with the camera following me at Donington, same 808 #16 cameras. Sorry for sidetracking, just answering the question!

TheFlyingCrust Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 IIRC RC Groups and Chuck Lohr work with eletoponline365 to develop these things. Make sure you get the 808 #16. The standard one has an 80 deg. lens and the V2 has a 120 deg. lens. Both are excellent. If there is an issue its the lack of image stabilisation - but at that price? They're good. I have 3.

Actually the V2 is available with A, B or D lenses. The main difference was that it introduced video out, useful for FPV etc Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Missed the edit window there and realised I should have added that ours are 808 #16 V2 models all with B lenses (we have one each) Having said all that, Roo, my youngest, has just bought a GoPro Hero 3 with all the gubbins for £200. One brilliant new feature is it has wifi so no need for cables (other than charging). It also has a locator - if you've mislaid it, you can call it and it will beep and flash until you find it! It has a decent sized replaceable battery and another nice thing is the indicator leds are repeated on each surface so no matter how you mount it, theres a status led visible. It has a remote so you dont have to physically get to it to stop & start recording, and he has an app for his smartphone to control it too! So £200 or £30? depends on how serious you are. I can crash & detroy 7 of the 808's for the price of one GoPro! But it is nice... Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
