What's the price on that puppy?

Roughly.

 

[RocketMonkey]

found it on ebay between 60 and 42 bucks.

That looks very interesting. I'm sure the battery compartment would have to be modified to provide continuous current under high g-forces.

RocketMonkey,
please post some home-made clips (youtube?) if you can - i'm curious what quality video you can get. I've experimented with a few different 'cheap ebay' finds like that in the past, all disappointing so far- but i hope you get better results than i did.

I haven’t bought one, I was just curious as to weather anyone else has tried it yet. As for modding the battery box a bit of aluminum foil folded up into a small square and wedged in there works pretty well.
