Hello everyone,
I have been looking for something like a GoPro to record some of my flights (not FPV). GoPros seem to run the gamut of cost, and I also see a lot of "GoPro" cameras of other brands from china that sell in the $50-80 range, which is pretty affordable.
Do any of you have any recommendations for brands/models that you have found work well?
Also, do those of you who do this take power from your BEC, or do you use cameras with built-in batteries?
I think built-in batteries would be convenient, and the extra weight would (hopefully) not be terribly significant. I would be looking to mount this atop the canopy of my Spectra.
Thanks everyone!

Re: Flight Camera Recommendations?
Hello,
I have owned a Turnigy HD ActionCam 1080P from Hobby King for about four years and have mounted it on a few of my models. It works very well for my casual video needs. But they seem to be out of stock right now at HK. It is a clone of the GoPro Hero 3.
Here is a similar Actioncam on Banggood. It has an internal battery and uses a Micro SD card.
