The 808 Micro camera is becoming very popular online right now, for the reason that it costs less than $ 10. And even at this price, the video results are amazing considering the physical size of the camera and its price.
There is so much information about this little camera that is ridiculous. People are using it for every imaginable purpose, from putting it on radio-controlled planes and helicopters, to racing cars, motorcycles, bicycles, helmet cameras and more. The camera is smaller than most of the remote controls fob of the car key. It produces 640 × 480 video, although some models convert it to higher resolutions (which makes the video bigger, but reduces quality and distorts the aspect ratio). The quality of the video is relatively good, as seen on the website mentioned above. Most models shoot at 30fps, which is also very good considering the size and price of this camera.
The reason this micro camera costs around $ 10 is that it has been made in China from unused cell phone camera parts. You can find it on eBay, where prices range from $ 6 to $ 50. The cheap ones are the same as the more expensive ones, and the reason they are much cheaper is because they ship directly from China. The mentioned website mentions some eBay sellers selling the good version of the camera.
Camera # 3 and # 8 are the best. All 9 current versions of the 808 camera use different microprocessors and other components. If you want to buy the micro 808 camera, try to get one of these versions. EBay sellers who sell these models are listed on the website, but do not count on receiving the correct version. I bought three cameras from the user "linjiechong" on eBay, which at first said they were cameras # 3. I have all # 8 cameras, one of which does not work more than about 10 seconds, the other video takes very weak and laggy, and the third seems to work normally.
The thing is that the 808 micro camera is so cheap that people do not bother too much when one does not work, they just bought a new camera. For the size and quality of the camera, at this price, it's worth it. I'll use it on a radio controlled helicopter, my motorcycle, and like a helmet cam for my mountain bike. And I'm sure there will be more uses for him as well.
