Go Pro?

Does anybody have a go-pro camera? If not, how do you take video of you playing with your rc if you running solo?

I'm thinking about doing a cap mount system

Do you think it could mount under a baseball cap? I would love to have a multifunctional camera that I can do a on-board and a shoot-and-play setup

Having the camera on my hat is a great idea!

I could duct tape it to the hat or sometihing like that.

I havent used a go pro cam but there are a tun of mini cams you can find on ebay for dirt cheap.

Iv used the "gum stick" mini cam and the "keychain" mini cam and afew others on rc's before. They are ok but the interference from the motor can make the picture come out bad with some and some cams dont like the jittering that rc's make.

For cap cams they would be great but for mounting them on cars, i would go with a camera specifically made to be used on a rc like the go pro.

I beleave the camera that tntpoof posted is also ment for rc use, which based on its looks, i like that one better then the go pro. Id like to try them both out sometime.
