Testing the limits of this setup. The 18 gram camera is simply taped to the top of the quadcopter with a piece of electrical tape. It still flies pretty well with the camera attached (flips and all), but can become unstable on descent, which, combined with a radio drop-out, ultimately lead to the quadcopter going inverted and falling out of the sky. No damage to the vehicle or the camera though, so I'd call this a success.
Note: The date and time are incorrect in the video (haven't gotten around yet to setting that on the key chain camera).
