Experiment: cheap small camera for model railroad¶
As an experiment, I bought a cheap (€9.08!) mini camera off Aliexpress.com (search for “y2000 mini camera). I wanted to see whether I could use it to make on-board model railway video. I didn’t expect much; my main worry was whether the camera could handle close objects. I want so see things 20cm - 2m away, not 2m - 200m!
A bit of ducttape:
… and let’s roll!
The quality is not very good, but it sure is a lot of fun for 9 Euros :-) I especially like the view of my viaduct at 2:15.
