Note:
Wire up the Pencam SD to use the USB power option - I have not figured out where an
active high AWAKE contact point is yet.

Aiptek Pencam SD 1.3 Megapixel
| Aiptek Pencam SD:
This camera is slightly larger than the previous version but has two advantages. It holds
removable SD flash memory cards and the imager is rotated 90 degrees. The 4:3 ratio is
perfect for the way the camera fits in my AP aircraft. 128 MB of SD memory gives
about 350 high resolution images before I have to download. Here is the Aiptek
Pencam SD by itself, and mounted in the Challenger. I used Mr.RC-Cam's same chip as detailed above and
info from the links below to figure out how to wire it into the Pencam SD. Note:

I have been flying this camera since 2006. It only has a 1.3 MP imager and much better cameras are now available, but it still can be used in small planes with little fear of loss. I have it installed in a F-27 Stryker and take it along to fly it just about anywhere. Here are some photos from SEFF, Joe Nall, and my home field in Maryland, all taken in 2013.
