PeeCam 808 -the $12, 5 min DIY action cam!

Action cameras like the excellent GoPro Heros allow people to shoot their own action sequences, -and while their not terribly expensive (considering the high quality footage you can get from some rather heavy situations), wouldn't it be fun too see how far you could get with....say just 12 USD?

Enter the "PeeCam 808" !

Step 1

Here's some stuff I've used to assemble it, -though you could complete the whole project witout any tools at all, as you'll see in the following steps

Your video is quite "soft" and seriously lacking in contrast, and while some of the fault doubtless lies with the dirt-cheap camera I suspect a lot of it has to do with the pee cup. Something a little more "optically clear" might be nice, such as a glass bottle or some sort of acrylic (or better yet polycarbonate) case.

Regardless, this is nice! I think I will order one of those cameras just to have around for future projects, so thanks for pointing it out! :)

Thanks!

yes, the picture's definitly better when NOT filming thru this bottle.
I'm currently looking at a wide angle lens, and considering if I should risk to drill a hole for it, so that this lens' end is _outside_ the bottle.
-will I be able to seal the container waterproof?(hot glue enough?). Will the lens "survive" outside the bottle? will the lense itself leak water? We'll se....

OK, your title had me "going" for a minute; not sure what we were going to see... great idea!
