Solar Powered Spy Camera Built Into Pen
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 12. 3.07
Now that Jack Bauer has gone green, we thought we would share the secret weapon that lets TreeHugger scoop the green scene: we all carry these solar powered spy cameras built into our pens. Who writes with a pen anyways?
Only solar power would do of course, as we are so often out chasing polar bears and orangutan who are camera shy. "just whip out the pen, twist the cap to start the wireless transmission, have the included MP4/Wireless receiver with 10~20 meters, and you can view and record everything that your spy camera pen sees." Your backup team on bicycles outside can capture everything. Only US$332. Specs below the fold. ::Chinavision via ::Dvice
