Disguised as a fully working pen, this miniature video camera, is perfect for covert surveillance.

If you need a spy camera that's body mounted, there's nothing easier or more discreet than just putting this pen camcorder in a shirt pocket for a full view of everything you see in front of you.

Featuring full-colour video and sound recording, 2GB of internal memory, which can store up to 15 hours of footage, means that you can start the Spy Pen filming and then forget about it. Just clip it to your pocket and walk around somewhere that you want to film, or leave it in place to record a face to face conversation. If you want to record in an office environment, then you could just leave it in a stationery holder, or position it to look like it's just another pen that's been carelessly left on a desktop.

The Spy Pen unscrews to reveal a cleverly concealed USB connector so that it can be instantly connected to a computer for swift video file transfer. If you're in a tight spot or time is crucial, you could have a covert recording made, then attached to an email or uploaded to the internet within minutes.

Perfect for private investigators or undercover journalists the Spy Pen Video Camera is essential tool for anyone that wants to take surveillance matters into their own hands.

 disappointing

Actually although it has good features it is not so easy to use. With improvements to design could be excellent. 2 improvements on /off swich should be a manual switch - could you the clip on the pen or a push button like a real one. Secondly the camera lens is on the wrong side of the pen so you have to clip the pen to the outside of your pocket which looks wrong. Finally insrtuctions so tiny print I could hardly read them. Maybe ok for fun for youngsters, no use as serious kit - hope mk2 is better, would buy if improved.

bought this as a pressie for my OH and he thinks it's great - good picture and sound and quite normal looking pen - he's tried it on a few friends and relatives indoors and out (not too long of a distance - wouldn't say more than around 10 to 12 feet) and no one guessed so lots of fun for him

 Amazing

I ordered it thursday and got it today!!! (Saturday). Fantastic service, I just plugged it into an iPod charger then scanned the instruction book, or paper if you like but that's all you need, so easy to use and once charged your away, picture quality is great, so is sound. Then I just plugged it into a windows7 laptop where it was listed in windows explorer as a USB drive, I just cut and paste the test recordings onto the desktop then played the files.... I was impressed with the quality. For this price you won't get any better. Another fantastic gadget to add to my collection courtesy of Play. :)

 Feel like James Bond

Excellent little gadget. Looks and works just like a pen, but records decent video and sounds.
As someone else already pointed out, and I shall repeat, the video file shows no picture in Windows Media, but will work fine in VLC Media Player.

 Very Pleased

I was surprised at the quality of such a cheap pen - mind you I paid 24.99 and it's now 22.99 but I'm not complaining. Very good value and free delivery. Good quality video and sound for the money. OK it's a little chunky in appearance but not too much so and is extremely good value for the money.
