The weather was great, nice and sunny, but not so good for video due to sun glare. I was very impressed with the mini camera, which is slightly shorter in length than a standard cigarette lighter. The body of the camera is METAL... none of your cheapo plastic, even though it is made in China ! It has a snap on holder on the back of which is fitted a clip, which makes it easy to attach to objects, uhmm...the holder IS plastic
I attached the camera to my "Hercules" loco by simply clipping it through the spectacle hole in the front of the cab. It was very close to the boiler and safety valve, which made me wonder how it would stand up to the heat, steam and droplets of water. There were no problems, except the steam from the safety valve was being blown in front of the lens, thus occasionally giving the impression of scratchy video. I was very impressed with the sharpness of the video, which is recorded in .avi format. The camera came with a 2 Gb micro SD card, which was enough for the 20 minutes of video that I recorded that day. The camera can use a micro SD card up to 8 Gb. If anyone finds one of these mini video cameras and is tempted to buy it, I can thoroughly recommend it.
Anyway, enough of the blurb, the proof can be seen here....
