I've got about 4 of them and they're darn durable....

So your total cost is like $55.00 very cool for the money.

I want to get a 720 HD camera next, about $50 for that.

the audio is hilarious

that was cool!

My video looks like crap compared to what a $2000-$2500ish rig can produce using real time feedback First Person View Piloting with a good camera on board.


but then again, my rig only costs $50 total.

Wow that's awesome and makes me queasy at the same time.

LOL love the audio dubbed in

Very funny (especially to those of us who grew up watching the 6 million dollar man)!
