Replacement camera.

Please be gentle.
So, what's the most popular replacement camera for my shiny new X5C-1?
I've seen one or two 808 key-chain cameras which I'm sure wouldn't be a problem in terms of weight but the FOV is a little disappointing, unless there's a version I'm missing.

Any other recommendations?
 
I would suggest a Runcam, I have the Runcam HD, but have not used the Runcam 2 that has recently come out.


Here are some of the specs
F.O.V: 120°
Recording modes: 1080P 30FPS FULL HD, 720P 60FPS, 720P 30FPS HD
Weight 41 grams
Battery life: About 80 Minute



@Mike H. should be able to give you more info on how well the quad will handle the weight of the camera.​

The X5 camera does a decent job. 808's at ~18 grams are more than double the weight. Not only impacting flight times but also shortening motor life. Also seems odd to pay more for the camera than the quad itself.

Here's X5 footage with a little post processing.


808s with the D lens have a 120 degree view BTW.
 
Thanks for the replies.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the stock camera. I just wondered if there was a standard preferred upgrade.
Now that the downsides have been raised, I'll probably stick with the camera I have.
I would like to know a little more about video processing/enhancement though.
