I scratched off the rubber coating from the bottom and hot glued velcro to it. I stuck it to my wool hat and recorded me and my son bombing down the toboggan hill.

Bobulus:
Only downside I've spotted so far is that I took it out of my pocket today (after charging it on Friday) to discover it totally battery-dead.

Not sure if I hit the on-button at some point, or if it just runs down on its own, but it means it's not so hot for keeping on your keychain until the moment you need a camera.

Still, I'm sure I can use it in other ways.

Loafmeister:
Got mine in, tested it. As advertised in this thread (I think?), its not so good inside but outside it's works pretty well. I put in an 8gig Micro SD so I have a nice usb memory stick that can do a bit more.

Looking into buying a used park flyer so I can tape it on and give it a whirl.

RobbyMac:
just an fyi, I set mine down to record to see how long it would last. 20 mins on a 2gb card.
Supposedly the battery lasts an hour, but I don't have an 8gb card to test that out.

I've actually been using one of mine alot at work. Keeping audio notes on it. (hard to describe, but I get measurements off of vehicles, and I can speak them faster than writing them down). It also helps to be able to snap some quickie reference photos while Im at it.

Loafmeister:
A) the camera is down to $11.86 (including shipping) if anyone is looking to get one; I ordered a second one.
B) I picked up a used park RC flyer, the Hobbyzone aerobird challenger, so hopefully next week, after some practice and the wind dies down, I'll be able to fly the camera up for a "look" see.

I have zero expectations on the Aerobird challenger, I know these can be hard to control but it's a start and it didn't break my wallet at all (paid half-price for a slightly used flyer with a spare battery and a A/C charger).
