There are a few different versions. check out this site

Zascar · 16-06-2010 9:43am

Has anyone got theirs yet? I wonder how long delivery will take from China. Some stuff I have bought in the past has been here in days but other times it can take a lot longer

docentore · 16-06-2010 1:41pm

ordered one from Black Knight link. Maybe more expensive than other ones, but I want to get the best version (#3), and this one looks like one.

I will update when received

Read the whole thread, I'm pretty confident the seller in the link I posted in the first post only sells #3.

Zascar · 16-06-2010 2:39pm

This is the one I bought, from what I can tell it's #3 but not sure

hahaha, Thats probably the most expensive one posted so far :rolleyes:

Meh. Twas cheaper then the OPs one, and for the sake of a few pence, id prefer to not have to trawl through all the posts.

got this a few weeks ago, well worth a tenner

babo9 · 16-06-2010 3:59pm

Is the recording time(due to memory, not battery) relatively low. I think I saw the op saying 10 mins for 850mb.
So you get around 12 minutes per gig of memory, anyone else tested the recording time/memory usage.

I told myself I wouldn't bother getting this but every time it pops back up to the top of the front page I get more tempted

Ok after reading Chucks site I see he has that answered already

1 Hour of video = 3 - 4.5 gigs
1 minute = 50 - 78 megs

That's for version 3

Hmmm...whether to buy

EDIT: Bought...well another probably pointless BA and half a day wasted researching it

JohnK · 16-06-2010 4:59pm

Couldnt resist so I bought one of these and one of the HD ones. Be interesting to see if theres any actual difference in them

Yea id agree, they pick out lots that are harmless,

Thanks, I read the thread up to 4th page, came back yesterday evening. Completely forgot about you original post

Amalgam · 18-06-2010 4:49pm

A 'Bazaar' below where McGivney's Opticians used to be, on the corner of Henry Street and Moore Street (Dublin). They had the 808 Fob in the window, clearly the same model, with the instructions identical to the eBay ones.

I asked for a price, out of curiosity.

€250

No F.. way!

probably they still live in Celtic Tiger times

Amalgam · 18-06-2010 6:36pm

Yes. Amusingly, the person told me it was, '..a camera for spies'.

Abelloid · 18-06-2010 6:46pm

Crazy. At that price you'd do a little homework first, for €50 it could be an impulse buy and they'd probably sell a lot more making a nice profit too.

FearDark · 18-06-2010 7:32pm

Does this site accept maestro cards does anyone know? Dont have a CC. For a tennar you couldnt leave it there!

If you mean ebay, no it doesn't. You can however transfer the required amount to your paypal account and then pay for it that way. Money transfer usuallt takes 2-3 working days.

JohnK · 18-06-2010 7:42pm

How long is it taking for people to actually get them? I know it says to allow for about 20 or 30 days but I dont want to wait that long

Abelloid · 18-06-2010 7:44pm

Was under two weeks for me IIRC.

TestTransmission · 18-06-2010 9:28pm

Someone convince me to buy one.

brightkane · 18-06-2010 9:29pm

Buy one. You will be the only kid in school that was made to go to bed early when all of us cool kids can talk about what u missed.

TestTransmission · 18-06-2010 9:35pm

The one in the first link yah?is that what everyone has gone for?
Wheres the cheapest 4bg card available?

19-06-2010 1:31am

Jus went with a 2GB card myself (which arrived today, so hopefully the camera will be here sometime soon!).

This is what I went with;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250595505723&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Can't really see any reason for any more than 2GB, which is estimated at just over 20 minutes.

I'll only be using it spur of the moment though. If I know someone's gonna fall over or some such situations. I don't see myself ever going over 5minutes recording time.

I you're gonna be cycling/driving/etc. and want to record your journey, then you'd probably need a bit more memory, but at the same time, if you record an hour of cycling... are you really going to sit down and watch it all back afterwards?

They're just my own thoughts on it, anyway. Like, I'd imagine, many in here, I don't have any reason or purpose to own one. I just want it!

JustMac · 19-06-2010 5:00pm

Damn BA :rolleyes:

Hogzy · 21-06-2010 12:19pm

Aw! Where's mine then?! I ordered on the 11th, too.

Basq · 21-06-2010 3:40pm

Was it small enough to fit in a standard letterbox?

Tabnabs · 21-06-2010 3:43pm

Not a problem.

will fit in with no issue.

Basq · 21-06-2010 3:49pm

Cheers NTC. Ordered mine on June 10th and I'm holidays till Thursday.

Yi Harr · 21-06-2010 4:07pm

Managed to hold out for 11 days before caving and buying one (well 2 actually). Definitely an unneeded but at the same time completely necessary purchase. Cheers for the posting OP.

giftgrub · 21-06-2010 4:14pm

I dont need one...I could use the money for other, more practical stuff...

I just bought one.

Placebo · 21-06-2010 5:28pm

in fairness,
NO ONE needs one of these.
but we all got one

Balmed Out · 21-06-2010 6:24pm

anyone know can you get something like this thats waterproof?, would be helpful to see all the things that im doing wrong surfing

Quackles · 21-06-2010 8:44pm

Ours arrived today, the seller Basquille posted... Small enough to fit through the letterbox (watch out, neighbours), pretty snazzy quality, I have to say. I'm impressed.. Tested in a dark living room. Will post up a test video in a few mins.

Lenny · 21-06-2010 9:12pm

lol, cute little gadget,
anyone know if its posible to lower the recording res to make the file size smaller?
like if i bought a 1280p it would fill up a 2gig card quicker than a 720p ?

Quackles · 21-06-2010 9:19pm

I can't get it to be embedded because it just won't work, so a link will have to do ya.

Here it is, my uber exciting back garden! Don't say I didn't warn you

I don't think it's possible to change the quality, there is zero interface on it. Two buttons, power on/off and record/stop/photo. The photos aren't great, but that's what my camera is for

I now pass the time while waiting for it to arrive imagining all the adventures I'll have with it..

Me: I'd like a raise
Boss: Go away
Me: Oh really, well what would your WIFE think of this video of you in a lapdance club?
Boss: 25 percent ok?
