It can be used for FPV and if I read the manual correctly, you can record video on the micro sd card while watching wireless video (you will need a video transmitter/recevier and viewer for that though).

Can be used for FPV or is playback only?

I'd go for the mini 808 #16 cam. It's only $35 and you get 720p video. This is a video of one of them on one of my rockets:

It has a one time offer of $92.99

@Steve It looks pretty tight in there you might be able to solder it but I would be very very careful.

Not interested in FPV, but can anyone enlighten me on how to trigger static (time lapse) photos with this unit?

Couple of questions...

1) Can you remove the lipo and power it from another source (I assume yes)

2) Can you also bypass that USB style connector and just solder a wire for video out?
