July 18th woot is pretty good too if you want an auto stabilizing (based on the pixel information) camera with auto focus, impressive zoom, and recording capability all rolled into one. I'll star reasons why i like it, but the #1 reason that i like it is because its just over $100 and half the price of other sellers:). hehe, sorry chris!

Ordered! That's a great find. If it's not clear to everyone, this is the easiest, best and cheapest way to record view from your realtime video stream from the aircraft. It's a much better option that what we currently do, which is use a video capture card on a laptop with special software.
