X6 Mini camera for the keychain for $9.09

Cameras used to be much larger, but fortunately they now fit in one hand and even in a smartphone. If even handy action cams are still too big for you, you can go one step further with the X6 and get yourself a really small camera.

At first glance, you might think it is a key ring without function. But the connections reveal that there really is a camera in here. This is, you can guess, of course not a highlight. It is advertised as HD camera, which is technically true at a resolution of 1280x960p; I would still like to watch a video recording to really get an impression.

Photos are taken with a size of just under 1.3MP, which is also quite low. Let’s face it, she’s not replacing your smartphone camera. But honestly, you don’t buy a $10 keychain with that claim either. Maybe it fits best to 10 dollar cell phones, which you always use if you prefer to leave your smartphone at home.

If in doubt, give it to someone in your circle of friends who still refuses to buy a smartphone with a camera. Generally it is one of those little gadgets that go well with gifts with the corresponding theme. A voucher for the long-awaited reflex camera or a photo shoot? The camera fits perfectly.
