Hi Tim;

I don't know if they are their own designs or maybe re-branded. I've seen a couple of companies that have a similar form factors as the Flea too.

When I worked at Vitana / PixelLink, we did OEM work for Pulnix and other companies. Some basically bought existing cameras from us and re-branded them, where as other companies wanted completely new Camera designs.

I still think a Flea / Flea 2 or maybe an EXHAD Grasshopper would make a really phenomenal Camera for a Celestron / Starizona HyperStar system. Maybe if I win a lottery I'll be able to experiment with my C8 :)

Hi Milton:

I was just browsing your list of compatible cameras, and clicked on the links to the new Unibrain cameras.  Some of them look similar to Pt Grey's cameras.  Are they the product of a collaboration?  Or altogether new?
