Mini Gumstick Camcorder Teardown

• jrockway 17y ago
  $14, eh. I've always wanted to make a video of a video camera falling off the Sears Tower. Now I just need to get it up there somehow.

    Add some fins to stabilize the fall, you don't want a video of tumbling.

      You want a ~3ft length of streamer, not fins (which are fickle).

      Actually, I do kind of want the video of tumbling. For $28, we can try both :)

    It seems like these cameras have the lens on the "long" side which of course is hell for aerodynamics. If anyone finds a camera like this with the lens at the top (smallest side) please link.

  I want something like this, but with the ability to record 8 to 16 hours video (lower quality is fine), and GPS. So if you wore it around your neck during vacation, for example, you could later view your movement on a map, and you could review video from a particular time or location. Anyone know if something remotely close to this exists? (On a related note, anyone know how one would get their photos with GPS EXIF data to display on a map? Do you need special software for this??)

    If it supports SDHC you could put in a 32GB card for ~16 hours of recording. Displaying images on a map based on GPS EXIF is a trivial thing and there are many tools (and of course data-hungry online services) for this. Such cheap "spy camera" with GPS is something I have not heard of yet though.
