Hi Bill.
I have been doing a blog but it has been several weeks since I last updated it.
I am building the Revell Gato with a home made WTC.

I cannot promise to finish one project before starting another. I know, I tried.

Thanks Graham. I just ordered one. I will be trying it in my Submarine if I ever get to finish it. Hope it is waterproof.😬

Thanks Colin,

It was cool, windy and damp yesterday so not much chance of working up a sweat 😆. He does struggle against the wind though. Had to bring him in after 15 minutes as he was getting too wet. Don’t want his jumper to shrink 😉 On a good day he’ll stay out rowing for an hour or more before he gets too tired to carry on.

Hi Graham.
Remarkably good video from such a cheap camera especially as it's only 720p.
I note that a full HD 1080p model is only a few quid more so I would have opted for that. I might just get one (1080p) for myself anyway!.

Hi Graham,
That seems a good little camera for the price.
Well at least Bill is not camera shy.

If it looks right it probably is.

Not too bad at all for the price Graham, better than some of the key-chain units.

Hi Graham.
Would you mind sharing from where you purchased said item.
I have looked online and as you say there are various outlets, but if your supplier was that reliable it means a lot in terms of Expediency.
Regards a Bill.

I hope you don't try the depth as that might mean the boat was with it.Looks like it will work for what you want and at a good price.

I was looking for a waterproof camera I could mount on my boats and came across this. The part number is SQ12 and it seems to be generally available on-line. I've seen them for sale for as little as £6 although I paid £10.02 as the delivery promise looked better. It arrived yesterday from China, 10 days after ordering which was a surprise as the expected delivery was some time in September. Worth paying a little more to avoid the frustrating wait.

The camera measures approx 1" on each side and comes with a waterproof enclosure and several clips/brackets for mounting. It doesn't include a memory card, which needs to be sourced separately. I got a 32Gb card for around £3 from a different supplier - which also arrived yesterday 👍.

The camera will record sound as well as video, it can take stills, and has night vision LEDS. It can also be set to activate when motion is detected. It is claimed to be waterproof to 96 feet - not planning to test that! 😉

Downsides: The instructions are difficult to understand, you can't view what you have recorded until you download it to a device with a screen. It records continually, but the recording is split into separate files, each of 5 minutes duration.

I gave it a quick try out this morning. Really pleased with the results.
