I used the xcode4 xib file to design the following UI:
Table View
Bar Button Item
Segmented Control
Bar Button Item
Segmented Control
On the design sheet, both Table View and Toolbar show up; but when I run the app in simulator, the toolbar is not showing up.
I tried to make the table view invisible (as a test) and to bring the toolbar to the front. Still the toolbar does not show.
Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong, and what I should try next? Do I need to do init for the toolbar in the .m file?
Thanks much!

You guys have to admit, they can be fun sometimes, . Not to hurt anyone, but fooling around with friends and whatnot. I don't see why we should be all proper in front of people who are close to us, that would make everything boring.
Attitude of AO MODS, according to beast
Because they have obtained that level they are arrogant. You have to kep in mind when you talk about these guys they are kind of dorks who probably didn't excel at much and this is their only outlet to flex their muscles. Their egos would suffer no less so the the forum suffers some more. Watch one way or another they will probably repond to this post with a threat. But there are better forums out there. Private messege Zev.
Another theory I came up with was that swear words were seen as a form of 'Curse' to the superstitious masses hence the name 'Curse Words' (Wow, fear my powers of deduction! )
I love that piece you applied.(Almost any South Park fan should acknowledge that line as a landmark.) If it truly has any merit though, it isn't hard to see why swearing could be seen as that. It shouldn't be a secret that Christianity and Catholism have considered swearing a sin. Perhaps there are more religions but I don't really care to search for them.
Anyway, frequent swearing has always been seen as a sign of limited intelligence. Pretty sure everyone has heard their teacher at one point, mention that. You could definentally say that the consideration of it that way originated from lower class members.
Culture has always had an influence on language, so it shouldn't be difficult to notice that a person that came from a poor living enviornment tends to swear more than a person who had a descent upbringing.
I tend to swear a lot, but when I do use it more often that not, it is easy to get in the habit. Turns a debate into a petty argument easy enough.

Gallery: Google Invests in German Solar Power Plant That will Power 5,0...
Google announced that they are putting an investment of $5 million USD — or $3.5 million euros — into one of Germany's largest solar power plants. The investment is their first renewable energy investment in Europe and though the plans still need approval from the German government, when it is finished it will power about 5,000 homes in the area. The project is slated to be built on land that was once used as training grounds for the Russian military.
After Google created their own energy subsidiary the company began investing heavily in wind power projects in the United States — including the massive Atlantic Wind Connection that will bring wind power up and down the East Coast.
The announcement of the investment in Germany by Google comes at a time when Germany is wrestling with the future of their renewable energy systems. Following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear emergency in Japan, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced a moratorium on all pending nuclear projects and turned away from her promise to keep Germany's 17 reactors operating into the future. She's now promising a move away from nuclear and toward other forms of renewable energy. With the momentum of Germany's energy ideas at the moment, we're thinking this new solar project will get off the ground pretty quickly and Google will soon be part owner of Germany's clean energy future.

HAVE: in Portland - hardy Tomato starts, shrub cuttings
pdxjules(8, Portland, OR)September 7, 2006
Are you a GreenHouse or Hydroponic Gardener (with a light set-up) who wants to harvest fall/winter Tomatoes?
I have loads of late, hardy compost tomato starts...for Jumbo Cherry Toms. If you have a sunroom for wintering over plants, you can try wintering over Tomatoes to get early ones next Spring. They are ready now - and I'm happy to share.
Tons of cutting possible now, from shrubs like Cheyenne Privet, Rhodedendron, Roses, Forsythia, and Munstead Lavender.
Come and get em, just bring along some of your excess fruit or veggies. Even that monster Zuchini, excess tomatoes, yeller squash you can't look at anymore, and bruised wind-fall fruit works for trade...my old-fashioned kitchen has truly magic powers!

Remember Me
On May 1, 2007 revolutionaries (and hippies) around the world celebrated the 35th anniversary and re-release of John Sinclair's book Guitar Army (Process Media). Originally published in 1972 following Sinclair's release from prison after serving two and a half years of a 10 year sentence for possession of two joints, Guitar Army served as an entire generation's handbook for revolt. So popular - and controversial - the book quickly went out of print and developed into a cult classic. Thanks to Process Media, the new expanded 35th Anniversary edition features 40 previously unreleased photos from the heyday, a new intro by Michael Simmons and a nifty bonus CD with rare recordings from MC5, Uprising, John Sinclair, Allen Ginsberg, Black Panther Bobby Seal, Up! and more.
As a young man growing up in Detroit in 1966, Sinclair became the manager of the hugely influential band MC5 (Motor City 5). "The Five," as they were often called, would not only help set the stage for punk and hard rock, they would become the house band of the revolution. In 1968, the MC5 recorded their first album, Kick Out The Jams, which would help ignite a fire that raged against the political and social climate of the day. Coinciding with the album, Sinclair released a statement of the declaration of the White Panther Party. Sinclair, along with the members of MC5 and a select group of fellow revolutionaries, created the White Panther Party to oppose the U.S. government and support the Black Panthers through a "total assault on the culture by any means necessary, including rock & roll, dope and fucking in the streets."
"I just started smoking joints and taking acid and peyote and it lead me into something completely different from where I started from" says Sinclair. "Between that and the black music, I was in a different world. And I've been there ever since, and I ain't leaving!"
Inside this world of mind-expanding drugs and black (blues and jazz) music, Sinclair was transformed. He became a beacon of light, "the leading intellectual of long-haired people," he claims. And that's exactly what opened up the MC5 to his influence. "John Sinclair was the first guy who wasn't a music business type guy. He was like us, and we respected him," says MC5 guitarist and co-founder Wayne Kramer. "He agreed to join with us to try to see if we could combine our efforts to push our various interests to a higher level."
These were the seeds of the rock & roll revolution. The years that followed are chronicled in Guitar Army. Although Sinclair says, "It's not something I'd write today, but I thought I got my hands on the moment," the book is a necessary record of a movement that changed America.
In a true testament to the power of rock & roll, The John Sinclair Freedom Rally at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan on December 10, 1971 would be the final step in setting Sinclair free. The eight hour event featured John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Stevie Wonder, Allen Ginsberg, Phil Ochs and many others speaking and performing in front of 15,000 people. Three days later the Michigan Supreme Court released Sinclair and overturned his draconian conviction.

Closer Look: Swine Southern Table & Bar in Coral Gables
Tuesday, July 9, 2013 | 2 years ago
In a low tone, they warn you about the bacon. At Swine Southern Table & Bar, it's employed as if it were salt. Swine belongs to John Kunkel, a shrewd businessman who sold his fast-casual chain Lime Fresh Mexican Grill to Ruby Tuesday for a handsome sum last year. He and his crew, called 50 Eggs, are behind Yardbird Southern Table & Bar and Khong River House — two South Beach spots that exemplify the saying "with it." Located in a boutique-spangled strip on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Swine is a pork-themed place that mimics Yardbird's chicken fare.Read the review on Swine Southern Table & Bar in Coral Gables.

Thanks for the info and time you took to do this Richard, its priceless.
It's very so much more rewarding and interesting when we can take the solutions to RC issues to a higher notch than just give up on a product.
Your bench testing, mods and info is very much appreciated.

Love This Little Gizmo
Got my #11 Jumbo (Post 2, last picture, 4-5 o'clock position) in the mail yesterday (ordered from hxelepro on eBay on June 3rd). I, too, had an initial problem getting my PC (Windows XP) to recognize the camera. But once I had it charging for an hour and switched to the short USB cable (which, I believe, allows charging and camera operation at the same time), my PC recognized the camera and I was off and running. I saved the microSDHC card which came with the camera (so I could always go back to it, if needed).
I formatted a new Transcend 4 GB, Class 4 card with the SDFormatter V3.0 software and checked it for errors using the h2testw V1.4 software. I then loaded the V2 firmware (Time-Date with Blocking) unto the card and put the card into the camera. It loaded fine, so I removed the card and erased the .bin file from the card. Put the card back into the camera and took my first video (feeding my pups a treat).
I was able to copy the .MOV file to my PC, convert it to .avi file using MP4Cam2AVI V2.83 with the ffdshow codex, and edit/trick it out with MS Movie Maker. Turned out great (if you ignore my poor first time camera work).
So, all the software and all the instructions I needed are found in posts 1-5 at the start of this thread. This was my first experience with a cam and I couldn't have been successful without this thread. Thank you one and all!

If you had posted your video on vimeo.com instead of YouTube I could download your original and look at that section of the clip for a better determination of dropped frames. I assume it shows up on your original as well as on the re-encoded YouTube clip.

Looks like it was edited with Windows Movie Maker. Use these settings: Resolution should be 1280*720, 30fps, 16:9 ratio. In my case the settings are good when you select something which says something like 'recommended for this project', at the top of the list (followed by HD 1080, computer, burn DVD etc.)

Yup, I used Windows movie Maker & yes I saved at a lower resolution when I edited. Just quicker to upload to YouTube that way. But that same little blip happened in the original before I edited it.

can you guys critique this video. It seems to have lost some quality. I will double check the WLMM settings, but I think I saved it as 1280x720.
It also has a section of the pic that is out of focuse, like the whole upper left quadrant, is there any way to fix this? The center and near right seems ok. For flying, I will most likely adjust focus closer to infinity than it is now.
The 2nd #11 does not have these issues. Sorry its not flight, but I guess its ok to break the trend every once in a while.
edit, p.s. based on retracing my click, I think I might have selected the 1080p save selection.... would that explain what looks like a loss of quality on the vimeo post??
But vimeo says its a WMM file that is 1280x720>? so I have no idea. It's definately not as good as original on my screen.
Thanks for comments.

Thanks. I work on them and help the team, but I don't drive.
Looking through the vimeo link, it's difficult to see the lens anomolies. Why is the date so fuzzy. Its very clear on the original.

Meanwhile.... back on topic...
Wheelspinner, thanks for uploading your clip to Vimeo where your original upload can be downloaded. I retrieved your original from Vimeo, and it is a 1280x720 frame size video. BUT, if you look more closely, your image does not fill the whole frame like it should. Both the image and the frame are 16:9 aspect ratio, but the image is smaller than the frame. I think that is one reason for the lower image quality you see. Keep in mind that your upload to any of the free hosting site is not displayed in the same form as received. The site re-encodes your file into Adobe Flash Player format, and also lowers the bit rate at the same time to save some file space and make playback easier. The net result is your video gets downgraded... there is nothing you can do about that... they all do it.
But that aside, how did your upload get into the strange reduced image condition? Here's what (I think) you did. Open WLMM and toggle to the Project menu. You should see something like the first pic below. Note that the aspect ratio is set for "Standard (4:3)", which is the wrong frame shape for your HD video. It needs to be set to "Widescreen (16:9). When you use the wrong frame aspect ratio, your video is forced to have black bars above and below the image to make it into 4:3 aspect ratio shape as shown in the picture.
Then when you select one of the 1280x720 frame size options for outputting your final video, WLMM fits the 4:3 aspect ratio frame into the 16:9 1280x720 frame size as best it can, which matches the vertical height before it reaches the full width. So now your video also has black bars on the sides as well as on top and bottom. The net effect is that your original 1280x720 video image is now shrunk down with black border all around to fill up the final 1280x720 frame, as shown in the second pic below! And when that is re-encoded by the web site, you lose more detail.
I don't know if I explained it very well, but here's the bottom line. Make sure you have the "Widescreen (16:9)" set for the movie aspect ratio in the Project Menu as I first mentioned. Then your final movie will fill the full 1280x720 frame when it is saved. And since the #11 shoots at about a 7000 kbps minimum average bit rate, pick one of the movie options when you save it that has a similar bit rate. You can make a custom one like I did for the #11HD with 1280x720 frame size, 7000 kbps bit rate, and 30 fps frame rate. Then just use that each time with this camera and you'll get good results.

Has anyone tested one of these. It doesn't seem to comply with all the HD features but is it any good? I can't find any reviews.

A few posts back HypoThermia, Ian, posted about NTSC to PAL conversion for using the video files to make a DVD.
He gave me a very short sample video, with very high motion, so I can test with my programs.
I just made some tests.
I used:
* Cyberlink Power Director 9
* Corel Video Studio Pro X4
I could use the files to the Ulead (Corel now) DVD Movie Factory 6 so to make a DVD. But they are too small sized for a DVD (it must be at least 1GB so to be compliant with all players).
I do not have a DVD authoring program that handles H.264 videos directly. My old Movie Factory cannot.
But I`m pretty sure that the new version can do what Video Studio Pro X4 did, plus the authoring. So you may use/need only one program.
It does some trimming also, if it is needed.

I tried to pull up that project and changed the aspect ratio setting. It doesnt want to save it again so I am going to start over and see what happens.
Thanks for the help.
|Jun 15, 2011, 07:42 PM
It looks like your focus needs adjusting to a little further away. The fin on the race car is in perfect focus. How to focus is posted in the first few posts.
The transcoding also may have degraded the picture quality.

Sorry for the distraction.... I was always one of those kids in class....
Tom, I changed the aspect ratio in the Project view, re-did the video, and I think I have the same exact result.
I won't post the link to the 2nd vid, if you want to check to verify no change in outcome, you can just go back to the other one and click on it in my video collection.
I think I now regret signing up for the plus membership.!
I remember your brief bike video ( we also do bike tours) its clarity, even online, seemed to be exactly as viewing off of the camera? How many pages back do I need to go to find that site? Don't know the term to search for otherwise I would.

I would like to make a custom case for my camera and angle the camera down for better shooting in flight. Has anyone done this?
I took it apart and took the screws out of the board, but it seems the camera itself is glued into the case. Is there a good way to get it out? I don't want to break it.

When the camera is out of the housing, you can get the glue out with pliers, pin etc. Re-use the glue by putting it on the point of a nail, heat it (it's hot glue) and put the drop of glue where you took it from, back in the housing, replace the camera (in your case a presumably modified housing so the cam points downward.

A tip. Use the "search this thread" link, then select "advanced search" to get a more definitive seach box. Put my user name "tom frank" in the user field, and the work "bike" in the key word field. You'll get just two hits, with the one I linked above being the first one. Quite fast by that method.
BUT, that video is not on the Vimeo web site, but rather exposureroom.com, which has even better video quality. But that site is intended more for semi-pro and very serious videographers, not hacks like us, so I don't direct anyone there normally and only use it when I really want to upload a video and my one per week limit for HD uploads has already been used at Vimeo.com.

Also, when I do a "save as" to download your upload, the file requester for renaming the file shows your video with an .asx extension, not .wmv. The .asx file is a Windows Media Player play list file extension! Does your file have a .wmv extension when you upload it? What profile method are you using to save the video? If Vimeo is creating this problem, they will certainly want to know about it and are usually very responsive to user email.

Bought a #11 from hxelepro360 and after the brilliant work of Brazilian post office, it arrived 2 days ago after 1 month sitting in Customs.
I promised Diana I would leave a few good words about it, and I can't complain about the camera and her service.
Although it looks cheap (and indeed it is), the overall quality is better than I expected, including the internal parts and components.
FW upgraded to continuous recording and no date stamp, followed tutorial included in the file and it worked great.
But the camera went for a dive and it's not working anymore, hehehehe...
I attached the camera to my puppy dog and played with her a little... she went for some food and the camera fell into the water bowl... hahahaha... and it wasn't even recording, else I'd have a great shot of a diving cam...
I left it dry but it's not working anymore. It can be charged and turned on/off, but don't do anything else (not even the card reader is recognized).
By the way, I asked about rotating the lenses a few pages ago (twisting the lens/image sensor in 90º if you're looking straight to the front of the camera) and I realized it can't be done, the data ribbon is too short to allow rotation. It should be longer or replaced by wires.
Bought a "JUMBO" to test (black, BMW logo), it's going to my helmet (main priority) and I'll buy another regular #11 for my heli.
"Ture lens", according to Diana are 720p lenses. Don't know what it means, I don't know if there are specific lenses for 720p (don't think so).

I have a question about the video comparing the original #11 video to the results of running it through a couple of editors. I notice that both of the edited versions seem sharper than the original, particularly the one done with Magix. Does the Magix editor have a adjustable sharpening function? The results make it look well worth the $65.
|Jun 16, 2011, 11:33 AM
Yes, MAGIX does have a user adjustable sharpening filter, and so do the freeware AviDemux and VirtualDub editors (but those two lack many other features obviously). I always sharpen my videos when editing... it makes them look so much better (to my eye), as does toning down the saturation and backing off the contrast a notch.
Recently I've been trying the VideoPad editor (free fully functional trial download, like MAGIX) which sells for about the same price as MAGIX MEP17+. It is easier to use than MAGIX and has some nice features, but not quite up to MAGIX in that regard (especially the titling ability). It has built in adjustable sharpen filter, but it is very sensitive. However, it can use all the Vdub filters, including the less sensitive sharpen filter and one that can reduce the central "hotspot" and vignetting in the #11 video. It works quite well. MAGIX does the latter, too, but can not only adjust the vignetting brightness, but also the color balance.

I sincerely hope you retrieve something off the microSD chip and your cam comes back to life..also hope Diana can repair it too if that fails.. btw.. I asked the same about the lens .. and she told me a "Ture Lens" was actually a typo for "True HD Lens" JimS

Hey, thanks for the support! :-)
I haven't gave up yet, but chances are it's really gone... tried everything on the FAQ (reset, reset with USB cable, I'll try to cut the battery, haven't tried it yet...). I'm not that sad, anyway, what I really wanted to do was twist the lens/image sensor... just a bit upset for having to wait another month to get a new camera!
The mSD is fine, it's still working and passed h2testw more than 2 times.
Well, I'll be more careful next time!
If it returns to life, I'll let you know...

I did that and expectedly it did not change anything. Well, it looks like my battery is toasted... at least it still works long enough to be able to flash the firmware
I have a question : has anybody had success with the special cable, an external battery AND a standard USB extension cable in between ? the provided special cable is so small it's hardly usable.
I tried that once to no avail and just after my USB extension cable was dead. I'm pretty sure it worked before this test. Or maybe is it yet another coincidence

Great job on this thread, the question/answers on the first three posts is super informative. Is there any time fame when the single 4 GB file will be fixed so that the camera will start a new file after it reaches the 4 GB size?
I am planning a mount for this little HD camera on the tail of my full size aircraft and would like to have the camera run as long as my bladder range at least, 2 to 2.5 hrs would be great. Does the start stop 20 minute file size run until the SD card is full? I think I read in one of the hundreds of post that it does.
|Jun 16, 2011, 10:37 PM
This Charger is working out well .. you can see when your No 11 cams are each fully charged because the RED LED works .. and charge your Phone or another USB device at the same time..

I don't know whats wrong. But a few clues. In random order. My version of WLMM is missing the slow motion, or time adjustment feature as you can see. My friend showed me a screen cap of his under the Edit tab, the adjustment section on his has 3 tools, background, duration and a third feature that i don't have.!
Also, I just toggled to the widescreen aspect ration so you can see what I see. Oh yes, black borders... ??
Also, when I play recorded raw video on 3 of 4 different laptops, it gives a wild intermittent pixelatied digital scramble in WMP(see attached screen cap) but Quicktime plays flawlesly.! on one of the laptops, I accidently forgot to open with Quicktime, and his WMP played the clip just fine??? I don't get it.
I clicked on properties of one of the saved finished movies and it is indeed saved as WMV not the other you mentioned.?
Last night, for the first time, I plugged in the cam and windows gave me a prompt that this device would be best used if plugged into a USB 2.0 port.!!?? that was wierd.
Is the wierd pixelation scrambling thing in WMP related to the reduced display size? Is it possible that 3 different machines have a problem child version of WMP? is it a 32 bit vs 64bit OS issue?
When you get a chance. I don't have alot of time to play around with it.
|Jun 16, 2011, 10:51 PM
There's no set schedule for the firmware bug fix, but I let the developer know just a couple days ago we are very interested in that fix (plus a couple other video quality tweaks). They are a small company, and are working on another new camera design right now. Hopefully it will not be too long.
Yes, you are correct....the camera would stop/save/continue at 4GB file sizes until the battery (or external power supply) dies, or the the video card fills. You would need a 16GB micro SDHC card to hold the 2.5 hours duration. A 1 hr. clip is about 3.5 GB (+ or -) on average for these cameras.
|Jun 16, 2011, 11:07 PM
Is that clip you showed loaded into WLMM one straight from the camera???? If so, it is flawed with the black borders before you ever start to edit it! What firmware do you have in your camera? Did you install the Release 2 versions yet? They are available here (see the link in the FAQs on post #3). If your camera is recording like that, I'd flash in fresh firmware.
If you loaded back in one that you previously editied, that would explain the black borders, I guess.
Also, go here and download the latest version of WLMM... it's well worth it with the added features.
The latest version of WMP (on my W7 PC) plays the native camera videos just fine... no need for Quicktime. It could be a codec problem on those other machine if they are not running the W7 OS, or don't have the H.264 video codec on their machines.

Just wanted to say thanks for a very informative thread. I purchased a cam from one of your post #3 vendors and it arrived in perfect working order.
I then used your tutorial to remove the time stamp and now I'm excited to attach the cam not only to my model aircraft, but a full scale plane too. I'm a student working on my PPL and I hope to use the cam to record some lessons for later review.
I wonder if there's a way to get audio from my headset to the cam? That would be perfect!

The #11 does not have any audio/video in/out ports. But if you could put a splitter jack in your headset cable, there's a couple ways you could integrate the audio into the video clips:
1. Feed the headset splitter signal to a small speaker next to the camera... it would pick up the audio from that and record it with the video. But the downside is the camera's mic is fairly sensitive, so it would also pick up motor/wind noise as well as any other cockpit sounds.
2. Feed the headset signal to some other recording device that has audio in/out compatible with that signal level. Then after the flight, feed that recording into your computer and save as an audio file (if not directly useable on a flash memory card from the recording device). You can then load the #11 video into a simple editor, mute the #11 camera's recorded audio, and overlay the headset recording onto the video, and save that file. You'd need to sync the headset audio with the camera's video if you don't start both recordings at the same time. This is a lot more work, but the advantage is your final video would have ONLY your headset audio when you play it back.
|Jun 17, 2011, 12:20 PM
New to this thread but I have been stalking for a while. Just ordered the #11 and a wide angle lens!
A note on Tom Franks suggestion no 2:
When using an separate recorder for sound it is always good to have a sync point for editing. In film production a marker board is used (I´m sure you´ve seen that) but that is a little overkill in this situation. A decent method is to use your hands.
Extend one of your hands palm up and make sure it is in the view of the camera. Take your other hand and make one (1) clap holding the first hand still. This way you will record the sound of the clap on the sound recorder and the picture of the hands coming together in the camera. This is now your sync point.
A tad OT but since its nice to have sound and picture in sync I just wanted to share this little method I´ve used lots of time for TV-productions.

I have a strange problem with my #11. About once per second I have a short buzzing sound. Listen to attached file (audio only)... Is is nor very loud, but annoying.
I already read that this sound appears when the battery gets low. But this is not the case here. The buzzing goes throughout the video and does not stop when I connect the camera to USB.
Interestingly, it only appears when I use a Transcend class 6 4 GB card. With a Sandisk class 2 512 MB card the sound does not appear. Unfortunately I have no other card to try. I have no dropped frames with both cards.
Does anyone have an idea?
Maybe the Transcend takes more power? But the battery lasts at least 50 min. Longer I did not try yet.
|Jun 17, 2011, 06:26 PM
About 40 min. is the most a good battery will last unless you have one of the "jumbo" #11 versions with a larger battery. The sound sample you posted is the low battery sound, and it gets much worse as the battery gets weaker. But, starting a recording with that sound, then attaching to a USB port for power should make the sound go away. If yours doesn't then the camera may have a defect or off-spec component. Replacement might be needed if the condition of the battery can first be confirmed.

Thanks for the quick reply!
The sound also appears with a fully charged battery.
I have bought the Transcend card only today and then did a record of 50 min, on my montainbike. So the battery should be fine... It it true that I first noticed the buzzing at the end of the record, but I also heard it then at the beginning. Unfortunately I then re-formatted the card because I thought this might help... So I cannot tell how much the sound gets louder. I' currently doing a test until end of battery.
If I attach the camera to the USB port during recording, the sound does not change at all.

this one. I had to find a seller that would ship to Sweden so the ones liked to in post #3 wouldn't work for me. Hopefully this is as good but if it´s crap at least it didn't cost that much.
|Jun 18, 2011, 06:09 AM
Will be this good choice:
-#11 HD Car Key Chain DVR Keyfob Video Record Camera DV
-Fish Eye Lens(can I fix normally this to #11 keychain?
-Transcend Micro SDHC Class 6 4GB 4G 4 G GB Micro SD New
TOTAL: 69,23$ = 50 € (with shipping)
Is there any cheaper than this?
|Jun 18, 2011, 10:27 AM
Fish eye lens $13.30 free shipping
Honestly the macro lens is a better fit for this cam, less distortion and no black corners. Also is lighter and cheaper. I am talking about this one:

A #11 with the cigarette charger and as well as the 110/220V wall adapter for the charger, and with registered airmail shipping method for the price you tell about.
If you buy a memory card through ebay then I have a very good experience through this seller. As you can see it has 100% positive feedback. Ships with registered airmail, so they arrive very fast. At least in my country every letter or even big package that is sent as registered arrives at 6-10 week days. Regular airmail may arrive as fast, but may delay as much as 22 week days.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Team-Class-6-mic...item45f69e0428 (which I have found it is a superb card)
or http://cgi.ebay.com/Team-Class-6-mic...item1c1aa1afb6 (which I have not bought since the 8GB is the best value for money with so little price difference)
As for the lens. There is some difference. Some are used as wide lens, like in the previous post, or this one or many other.
Note that the lens you linked is mainly used for the fish eye effect, as they differ to the angle.
So if you want the lens you linked then the price difference in ebay is not big, but still there is some. You can search for "180 wide lens" in ebay. Again I would prefer registered airmail, some offer it with $2 more, usually.

I now tested several SD cards for my buzzing problem. I also measured the length of a typical buzz, using an audio analysis software. Here the results:
The freshly charged battery lasted today 44 min (battery dead), yesterday >47 min (I switched of myself)
With all cards, the buzzing appears (or gets louder) with low battery (last few minutes)
Video is OK with all cards.
1) Sandisk 512 MB, class unknown (2?)
No buzzing at all until battery gets low
typ. buzz length 200ms
2) Sandisk 2 GB, class unknown (2?), but newer that 1)
No buzzing until battery gets low
but: if you turn volume as loud as possible, you can hear the "buzz" with full battery as a change in bachground noise
typ. buzz length 130 ms
3) unknown manufacturer, 8 GB, class 4
buzzing already audible with full battery, but quiet
typ. buzz length 100 ms
4) Transcend 4 GB, class 6
buzzing already audible with full battery, louder that 3)
typ. buzz length 70 ms
I think the "buzz" is the time interval when the camera writes to the card. (Right?) This needs power and leads to a voltage drop of the battery, generating the buzz.
This leads to the following explanation:
The faster the card, the shorter the writing interval, but the higher the current the card consumes, and the higher the voltage drop.
It would be interesting if other users also observe this buzzing with full battery in combination with fast cards, or whether only my camera has this problem. It is not very loud, if you are recording in a car or on a model plane, you won't hear it anyway.

I did another test with a new extension cable, all good.
|Jun 18, 2011, 05:37 PM
I could hear two distinct different buzzing sounds... one short buzz at exactly one second intervals, and one more sporadic buzz of slightly higher frequency and longer duration, starting every one to 2 seconds. Some of that could be caused by the write period to the memory card as you theorized. Some might be an artifact of the real time clock.
In earlier tests done by myself and Isoprop with external battery packs, it seemed to indicate the capacity of the flash card was definitely a factor in power consumption and battery duration (more memory to keep powered during the recording). I don't know how much of a factor the recording speed might have been, but your theory makes some sense.
But there must be something about the camera hardware, too, that causes some camera's like your to start having audible sounds sooner than mine. Maybe just component tolerance differences?
Fortunately I normally mute the sound in my AV recordings, but I sure wish a simple fix for the buzzing could be found.

Micro / SD Card Power consumption
Hi everyone - interesting topic and I thought I'd add some thoughts on this subject.
To my knowledge, the read-write speed of memory in general, is directly related to the wafer / die size and the size of the semiconductor junctions used in it's manufacturer. The smaller the semiconductor junctions are (in nanometers), the faster they can physically operate or switch from one state to another.
Scenario : 2 x 4 GB MicroSD cards from the same manufacturer - one is class 2, the other class 6. If both cards are forced to operate at the same speed, let's say for arguments sake, a sedentary 8Mhz - the class 6 will use less power than the class 2 due to it's smaller, lower power junction sizes.
All well and good, but when the class 6 card is operated at it's 'ideal' higher speed to attain say 6MB/s RW speed, it will most likely use the same power as a class 2 card operating at a lower speed for 2MB/s RW.
In the grand scheme of things, the DSC processor and control circuitry in the #11 camera uses 80% of the battery power. The typical recording current consumption at 4.0V is 280ma. This varies as much as +/- 30ma with variations in the RGB data received from the camera module.
I'd be happy to discuss how you can acurately compare the power consumption of any individual MicroSD card fitted to the #11 camera, if it would be useful to readers.

p.s. Not complaining... the cards are performing like CL10 cards for all practical purposes!... just curious.

I also noticed that the sound frequency (tone pitch in english?) is different for each card.
I think it's really a problem with component tolerances. Maybe a problem with capacitors, that cannot properly buffer some peak power consuptions? As I cannot stop the full battery buzzing by connecting to a power supply, it should be somewhere "within" the circuit.
I'm not an expert in SD details. But I take from your ref. 2 that the card can take different max currents depending on bus speed (Table 3-4)? My two Sandisk cards both are standard SD (SDSC), while the others are SDHC. According to the table, SDSC is limited to 200 mA, while SDHC can take up to 800 mA. Can you shed light on this?
What bus speeds are usually used with the different cards? Does #11 use variable speeds for different cards? I think it's difficult to find out...

See this link and click on the 'Technical Data' tab : http://www.toshiba-memory.com/en/micro_sd_cards.html
As for bus speed, I can only tell you that #11's clock frequency is 12Mhz. Obviously, the bus speed can't possibly be any higher than this.
The only way to check the data bus speed for definate, is to get a fq counter / scope on pin 5 of the card (clock).
If you can somehow interrupt pin 4 to the card (+ve supply), you could monitor the current consumption of the card in circuit, while it was reading and writing. If you have a 'duff' microSD card lying about and a spare microSD socket, it shouldn't be too hard to knock up an external card slot, allowing easy access to all 8 lines.

1) Do all of the HD #11s have a red LED or do some have a yellow LED??
2) Looking for a #11 with time/date stamp already removed. PM if you have a good one.

Got my camera the other day. It's been too windy to stick it on a plane so I've been messing with sticking it on my 29 ford.
Everything looks okay,..Just having trouble with the sound going to hell with the wind etc.
I've tried lots of different things. maybe the car and vibration is just too much for it.
I also caught the second video yesterday at a fly-in using the #11

Sentry, removing the time/date stamp is the easiest thing, no risk at all.

I removed mine on my orig cams - but I can't get it to work on the 2 that I have. I got them WAY early - well before this thread existed - LOL. So I think they are too early to hack properly w/out bricking.
|Jun 19, 2011, 03:31 PM
Most of the vendors listed in Post #2 will remove the date stamp prior to shipping if you ask.
Also, the date removal for these cameras is done by loading in new firmware by simply copying the new firmware onto the camera's flash memory card and turning on the camera, not by downloading the firmware from the camera and hacking it to remove the date fonts like the old 808 low res cameras. This thread started shortly after the new #11's appeared and were reported in this forum, so I'm curious if the older cameras you are referring to are the TRUE #11 HD cameras, or the older 808 low-res variety?

I have not been able to get a red LED at all... that fact along with the fact that multiple removal attempts isn't working has me wondering - LOL.
I bought 3 cams at once - and gave 1 away to Derek_S - he performed the date removal and posted the results. Im wondering if they are just the low(er) res cams though. I will say that the quality does look much better than my orginal 808s.

Derek edited it - yes.
I will check the 1st posts... but I do find it interesting that Derek used the process in this thread to remove the date stamp - as far I know this process won't work for the low res cams correct?
What's the easiest way to get the LED to illuminate red?
|Jun 19, 2011, 04:21 PM
Hey Tom, as a newbie to r/c videoing, this thread is an incredibly valuable resource with tons of great info. Can't wait to put all of this to use.
I know you've put a heck of a lot of time into it. Just wanted to say thanks for the effort.
|Jun 19, 2011, 04:36 PM
Yes, the firmware download from this site is only for the #11HD cameras. The red LED should turn on whever the internal battery is charging. Plug into a USB port on your computer. If the battery is fully charged, you won't see the red LED, or maybe just a brief flash as you plug it in. If the battery is not fully charged, the red LED should turn on until the battery is charged, then turn off. I suggest you read the link in the FAQs in Post #3 on basic camera functions.
What is the file name of a video taken with your camera? It should be somthing like "PTDC00001.MOV" (last number will increment with each new video). If it's something else, it's not a #11.

Just to make sure I understand.
The #11 cam can be configured to make files longer than 20-30 minutes.
Apparently the battery will last about 100 minutes.
I plan to get 2 for my sailplane and want to be able to get a continuous video of semi-long duration flights.
If the #11 can work with an external battery to shoot an entire flying session (say 3 hours) that's what I want.
Is that do-able with the #11?
If so, can someone recommend a particular vendor, model number...link to the sale page?
Sorry to be pressing the easy button here but there seems to be too many different models for sale now...having trouble deciding.

I have a camera which has stopped responding. I did update the firmware to the "Recover Date/Time stamp" release two ~09 May 2011, but the camera worked fine for a couple of days following.
After switching to another microSD card, I did get the camera to go into the "USB storage" mode once. After that, nothing.
I tried the reset button with the camera off, with the main button pushed in, and while connected to the USB port as in the recover from dead firmware post (again, I have no reason to suspect a bad flash), but I have not yet clipped the battery wires as I don't have a soldering iron, and I'm not that good at it anyway.
Are there other troubleshooting steps, or a precise sequence of steps (I cannot find the instructions it came with, and only found the one post on troubleshooting a "dead" camera).
I will be traveling tomorrow through the week and was sort of happy to have it, if only for the still camera mode (cameras went to the other party...).
|Jun 19, 2011, 06:34 PM
Does this look like the right camera?
Thanks for advice!
|Jun 19, 2011, 06:42 PM
As stated in Post #2, these are the key specs to look for in the ads that define the #11 HD cameras:
720P high Definition Video 1280 x 720 H.264 30fps .mov fomat
Post #2 shows the different styles... they are all #11 cameras, just different case sizes and styles.

Minimizing the Video Vignetting Blues With Vdub Editor
All of the #11 cameras show darkening at the right/left edges and corners of the video (vignetting). Some are worse than others, but they all show this problem to some degree. Mine is one of the worse ones, I think.
Back in this thread I posted some examples of how this can be corrected using a commercial editor (MAGIX Movie edit Pro 17 PLus). There is another free solution! The VirtualDub (a.k.a. Vdub) editor (freeware) has a rich array of filters that can be applied to videos, one of which is called "hotspot", which uses a mask to adjust the brightness of selective portions of the video frames. When the mask exactly matches your camera's vignetting pattern, it can increase the edge brightness selectively where your camera darkens them!
I've attached two frame grabs from my #11 camera showing a before and after picture of how this filter mask can improve the video. It's not perfect (can't change color shift in darkened areas like the MAGIX editor can), but it can minimize the vignetting edge darkness throughout the entire video. I have also included a .zip file with the hotspot filter for Vdub, the mask I created for my camera, and instructions for anyone wanting to make a mask which matches their camera's vignetting exactly. You can try my filter mask to see how the filter works to see if you might want to use this tool.
You need to know that VDub ONLY works with .AVI format files, so you should first convert the .MOV files from the #11 .MOV format to .AVI using the MP4cam2AVI utility to convert the file without having to re-encode the original (see the editing link in the FAQs on Post #3 for more info on this tool). Or you can re-encode by any other conversion program if you wish. Also, some commercial editors can use Vdub filters, such as the VideoPad editor, to give this same capability it does not have built in.
My next goal is to find a similar filter, or a way to use the Vdub Hotspot filter with the AviDemux free editor, so the conversion of the file to .AVI format is not necessary.
PM me if you have any questions.
