Spy Button Camera adds intrigue and video capture to your wardrobe

Spy Button Camera adds intrigue and video capture to your wardrobe

The usual spy camera devices out there require that you either harness some ungainly contraption to yourself, or don some accessory that may not stand out but definitely won't win you any style points. The new Spy Button Camera from Thanko allows you record all the spy footage you want while maintaining a semblance of fashion sense.

The camera is attached to a 4 gigabyte USB drive that easily plugs into your computer for video/audio transfer after you're done shooting. Perhaps the coolest thing about this set-up is that it is activated by a very unassuming ring that is worn like any other piece of jewelry. You can pick up your ultimate spy rig for 5,980 yen ($61.78) here.

Considering how small usb drives have gotten and how much space they can have, this is awfully large for only 4Gig.
Other than that...eh, I guess its ok.
Nothing like a new toy to keep the pervs spying on ya.

This is the proper link. The one in the article is the actual order page, not the product info one.
