It’s pretty straightforward and similar to the other spy video camera’s we’ve looked at.  This time instead of hiding the camera in your sunglasses or shirt button the camera is slyly hidden in your baseball cap.  The main parts are the wireless camera that sits in the hat with the lens poking out a tiny hole on the front.  The camera sends the video signal to a wireless DVR recorder that you put in your pocket which allows you to record video to an SD card.

The only downside is that you can’t record audio.

Ok, so back to why I like Chinavasion.  Of all the Chinese electronic wholesalers I’d say they are the funniest and most honest about marketing the products they sell.   I mean on the solar vest we profiled they featured a nerdy looking guy picking up all these chicks since he helped them out by charging their electronic devices with his solar vest.  How many people selling a solar vest would come up with that?

And now with the Spy Baseball Cap they’ve hit marketing genius again.  If you check out the Spy Cap product page they have some funny “in-action” pictures of how and where you can use this product.  Basically they just advertised the product as how most people would use it (or most guys would us it) to take clandestine video of pretty girls.

Or to video record the couple behind you making out while you enjoy the show .

Notice, the “You sly dog!” printed on the image.  Ordinarily I would add that kind of commentary to pictures I find, but here Chinavasion has saved me the trouble.  The guy is indeed a “sly dog!”

Anyway kudos to them for breaking the mold and just selling the products how people would think to use them…

FuncFash-ness:  7/10
