Thank you Kurt. I would be happy to compare. I’ll get one next time I’m
placing an Amazon order.
Also, someone had mentioned a Sony camera in the recent past. Do you know
which one they are thinking of?
So, I was surprised by the big difference between the cameras in this
comparison. Particularly the color and sound.
It still looks to me that the GoPro is the standard for action cameras.
And, I didn’t even have it on the 60 fps setting. Maybe next time I’ll
compare using different settings. Just wish it didn’t have a big square
lens and heat up so quickly.

Great side by side comparison, Richard. I wonder how the keychain camera
would compare.

I’m always looking for an inexpensive and good quality flight camera.
Recently, I saw the Conbrov Mini (Spy) Camera on Amazon and decided to give
it a try. It has a good configuration for mounting in a rocket, had pretty
good reviews, and was $40.
Here’s a link to a short video I created comparing it to the Veho Muvi
and GoPro Hero Session I’ve used before.

Although the price is good, in my opinion this wouldn’t be a good camera
for on-board video. But, take a look, the video quality is pretty good.
However, I decided not to recommend this camera for the following reasons:
- It’s sold as a “spy” camera and the manufacturer doesn’t ship it
with the audio enabled. You have to go through a procedure to get this
accomplished and this is a hassle.
- The video tends to temporarily freeze as it's recording.
- There’s no status light showing that video recording is taking
place. The status light actually goes off when you press video record on
the camera.
Always interested in comments or suggestions.
