Ownership verified by DX The pen works, but is fragile
Posted by RElectrons on 9/4/2009
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: star
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: The video is better than you would expect.
Nobody pays attention to a teacher with a pen / laser pointer in his pocket.

Cons: The audio is worse than you can imagine. There are loud poofs whenever it bangs against my shirt, which makes the audio useless. I would carry a digital voice recorder if I needed audio.
This cheap piece of junk will break very quickly. Don't try to clip in on a pair of jeans, as the clip will break off. Don't try to write with it or the ink holding part will break. (At least it does not leak.) Don't use it any more than is absolutely neccessary.

Other Thoughts: The blue LED is lit when recording, but it is not visible given the way the pen sits in a shirt pocket. If all else fails, say your flashlight pen is broken, or use a bit of electrical tape.
The LED that makes this pen much easier to use than DX's other spy gadgets. Just hold the button on top until it powers up (the yellow led lights up.) Wait 60 seconds, and press the button again to start recording (the blue LED lights up.) Press the button again to go onto standby mode.

Bottomline: This is the best way to get started on DX's spy cameras.
I do wish DX would build a laser pointer into one of these, and make it much more rugged.

Ownership verified by DX Best And Cheapest Pen

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Good for basic spy recording
Disguised as real pen to fool the eye
Very cheap
4GB of storage
Good battery life
This product can also be your thumb drive

Cons: Resolution could be better (less than a 1mp)
Not very good sound recording
Disc included has a trojan (not needed just extra)
Button isn't as responsive as it could be (it's not a problem

Other Thoughts: Good for recording evidence and I recommend you buy this recorder instead of another one

Bottomline: Good for the price, has 4GB of storage (pretty good), can handle files and has a very basic setup (for noobs)

Ownership verified by DX Nice Spy-Cam
Posted by samdor on 7/10/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: Received it about one week ago. Tested immediately. Manual was easy to understand. You can use it immediately after you received it. Very good quality video, better then I expected.

Cons: When the spy-cam is turned off and I press the button, the light turns on and when I release it, the light turns off. I have to hold it like 3 seconds, and then the orange/yellow light will stay. After pressing the button again to turn it on, the light turns blue. But the first 3 seconds are not recording. Also, when I press the button for stop filming, it takes about 3 seconds from the end of the video. The sounds is too sensitive, very bad.

Other Thoughts: Good quality, good price. If I were you I should buy it if you really need this. It's fun. Maybe your product is better build than mine.

Bottomline: Just buy it!

Pros: Works realy great and has a good quality of movie, quality is also very good but could be even better

Cons: was a little damaged on araival (some scratches)
the two parts fit well together but i am afraid when you separate them too many times it will be broken

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Very nice spy cam to use for anything you like.
Ook voor de nederlanders, dit is echt een leuk hebbedingetje, ook goed te gebruiken als je iemand onopvallend wil filmen, durf je niet in hong kong te bestellen kijk dan op www.gadgets-games.nl
