The seller promised me the cam filmed in 60fps. I was originally disappointed it was in 30fps. The seller showed me instructions for changing the settings. It worked. Not sure yet if it's real 60fps so hoping to try soon. The cam is 2"x1.25" and weighs 17g.

I followed these instructions. The config.txt was slightly different such as calling it MOVIE MODE instead of VIDEO MODE. Alternatively, you could install the mSetup.exe program. I haven't decided if I'm brave enough to update the firmware for fear of bricking. I copied the instructions below but TRF converts to emojis so use the forum link above to get a readable version. I couldn't get the time stamp to update so set to 0.
Manual User Configuration Setting Procedure
If your computer cannot run the MS Windows mSetup program or you would rather just edit the configuration text file manually, it's easy to do, just follow these steps exactly:
1. Download the camera's configuration file to the flash card in the camera by turning off the camera, then pressing and holding down the camera shutter button while also pressing the power button until the red LED flashes a few times and then turns off. DO NOT RELEASE THE BUTTONS DURING THIS DOWNLOAD TIME.
2. Turn the camera on, connect it to your PC, and access the camera root directory when it goes into the "removable disk mode", and confirm the camera configuration text file (named "tl808config" is shown on the memory card.
3. Open the config text file with a simple plain vanilla (ASCII) text editor (e.g. like the familiar "Notepad" text editor for Windows users). The file will look similar to this (without the highlighting):
Code:
Date format=[0];set date format,0:YYYY/MM/DD, 1
D/MM/YYYY, 2:MM/DD/YYYY
/**Note: "Date time" must be in accordance with the date format specified otherwise unable to set the date**/

4. Replace any function key number values in the square brackets with any valid alternate setting key number, shown bolded to the right of each function, with the exception of date and time. For date and time, the format of the entered date and time must match the exact format shown in your selected format. DO NOT delete the "-" or "/" marks or add any spaces or invalid numbers.
5. Save the revised file back to the flash card root directory, but do not change the file name.
6. Upload the revised config file back into the camera by turning off the camera, then using the same key-press sequence used to download the configuration from the camera.
7. When the LED turns off, you're done! The new configuration will be in the camera and the config file will be automatically deleted from the flash card. You may check the flash card to confirm this if you wish.
