Turnigy Micro Video Cam onboard my Beast

waynev · 04-28-2010, 05:41 PM

Well from the "Technology" thread i posted a link to this micro video camera i was going to buy, well i got it and it is very small, comes with a Sandisk 2GB micro SD card and i thought it took a pretty good vid, i had it clipped to my goggle strap, the wind played some havoc with the sound quality and would sometimes fade out when against the wind. All in all for $25 i think it's a great little recorder and i'm sure it will perform better on my RC airplane ( what it was intended for ) but with a proper mount it would probably be a cheap helmet cam too and next time i'll try to keep my head from jumping around so much.

The original file was 264Mb but i had to convert it down to 26Mb to save time uploading to photobucket.

Good vid for $25!

Hard to keep your head from jumping around with the Beast suspension anyhow.

I need some land... got a kick out of the dog too, my idiot runs right and front of me and slows down, looking back to see if I'm still coming.

Beautiful property. My neighbor has a dog with the same habit. One of us is gonna get hurt someday... :roll:

Well it's not my property, it's at a friends farm, same place we built all those microsprints at in his shop, it's great place to ride though, just a 1 min ride to his bush, there's lots of trails in the bush and lots of swampy areas too for the days you feel like getting really muddy.
I'm pretty happy with the video qualitly too, i'll clip it on to one of my planes next time i'm out flying.

Excellent video quality! Your Beast purrs like a kitten, sounds a lot better than mine. Be awesome to see some aerial vids when your flying

Yeah, it took some time and pints to get it that way, it also sounds great with that monster muffler on it, the engine is still a bit rich though as i haven't rejetted for the warmer weather yet, based on yesterday i'm thinking 3rd gear wheelies, it was almost carrying it yesterday, a little rejetting and i think it will hold it.

That's a great score for the price! How did you clip it to your goggles? How do you activate it?

If you look at the link you will see the accesories it comes with, one of them is a clip that mounts to the camera, i just used that clip to mount it to my goggle strap right where the strap met the goggle frame. The camera is either sound activated or i can do it manually, it also takes pictures and does sound clips.

Did you ever get around to hooking it up to one of your planes?

waynev · 06-28-2010, 03:50 PM

Not Yet, got a free hot tub so i've been busy getting it up and working 100%, maybe this weekend i'll send up one of my planes for a flight with it on-board.

Weldangrind · 06-28-2010, 06:01 PM

Do you plan to send up a plane from the comfort of your new hot tub? That would be epic.

Unfortunatley there is too many trees around to do so from the comfort of the hot tub.
Boy i'm glad i'm handy, you don't get a 6 year old $10000 hot tub for free everyday, the person that gave it away was complaining about how much it was to get it fixed and they were tired of the upkeep costs, well......$50 for a new starter assembly on motor/pump #1 and a set of pump seals on pump #2 for a measly $30 and i'm up and running leak free, i couldn't find a box for the GFI that i got from them ( only comes as a spa pack) so i had to buy another, so all in all about $600 for everything including all electrical/conduit, 1st round of chemicals and parts, i like deals like that.
