Elsewhere Online: Tiny video $99 camera mounts to R/C planes, skateboards, etc.

Things get smaller and smaller and we just HAVE to create new uses for them. At $99 bucks I wouldn't be too worried strapping this to my bicycle helmet or putting it out by the bird feeder for a while. Can't wait to see what neat videos people might turn out with this.
