808 #16 V2 D Lens Keychain Camera Full Review For FPV

I have been asked how I have been recording my on board flight footage so i wanted to do a video to talk about what I have been using for the past year as well as something new I just got in. I have been using two modded 808 #16 Keychain cameras I got from digitaleleonline-caipeng off ebay. I recently saw they had a new updated version and was interested to check it out. I got the new camera in hand in under two weeks from placing my order. In this video I will talk about my original cameras as well as a nice review of the brand new V2 D lens option that also gives you a way to use it as an fpv camera while recording in flight footage.

Some details about the camera:
808 #16V2 Keychian Micro Camera has added TV output (video only)
They also offer different lens options and other accessories separately, please check there ebay store.

My camera came with the D lens a 120 degrees view. You will find more information about this lens option on Tom Frank's #16 thread.

Here is a link to buy the new V2 Camera.

 What's special about 808 #16 V2 camera?

 1. A connector  added for the internal battery, making it changeable by users who don't like soldering. You don't have to throw your camera away when the battery dies.  You just need a new battery and change it!

    2. A connector  added to the lens/sensor module, make it possible to replace or upgrade it when new module's are available.

    3. New Lens and totally new circuit board design. You will see below improvements in video:

- Overall  sharpness: improved
- White  balance control / color shifting issue: improved
 - Saturation  / and contrast boost issue: colors look much more natural now
- Darker  corner/edge vignetting issue: improved

    4. Low battery buzzing artifact in video -Gone!

    5. You only need one Standard USB Data cable for charging and data exchange with your computer.

    6. It supports audio volume control, and you can even get it mute to save battery and helps to increase the recording time when the audio is not needed, it can be set  by TXT config tool.

    7. It supports optional Loop Recording, it can be set by TXT config tool.

    8. You can set the date and time (white much smaller on the lower left corner), and toggle the date/time stamp on or off, by TXT config tool.

    9. If you don't want 720P recording to save battery and memory card capacity,  now you can toggle video output frame size from 1280x720 30fps (default), to  848x480 30fps, or 640x480 30fps.

    10. AVI output: we also have another firmware option available which will output .AVI file format, using the same H.264 codec, and it offers seamless  recording (there is no lost video between clips). If you need it, please  send a message to us, and we will send it to you by email.
