Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Live video camera

Hi Chen,

I've always used RangeVideo gear for live stuff and it's pretty good (get the KX camera series).

For non-live stuff we have the world's cheapest, and surprisingly good HD camera from here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Sport-Digital-Video-Camcorder/dp/B003Y79NMC/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1284646345&sr=8-12

(we put one into a cliff at 120mph and just had to reset the focus, so pretty robust too).  Video quality is excellent, I can link to a clip if you like.

Hey all.

Go pro have finally released the update software for their HD camera so now you can do live view with a gopro HD hero http://www.goprocamera.com/support/hdheroupdate.php. 

I haven't tested it yet because i seem to have misplaced my video cables but i am sure that it works.

support on the site ..
