Thank you, Scott. :-)

They had a little spy cam on a fixture bolted to a K10D body with a  
video recorder that I stuck in my bag. We exchanged bodies for the  
shots that it was used for rather than set up my camera for it.

No idea what brand or model the spy cam setup was, but I like how  
they used it in the videos; worth the work to use it. It was somewhat  
of a pain to work with, though, as it increased the weight and volume  
of the camera in my hand by a good bit. That changes the hand-held  
dynamics of the kit enough to throw off my timings when doing the  
'see and grab' stuff we were shooting.
