4#3B Video Heli: 5.9 Gramm Onboard Spycam

June 22nd, 2009 RobZULU No comments

i just made some outdoor video with an onboard 5.9 Gramm Spycam board. Total weight of the 4#3B with video is about 62 gramms. Around 4-5 mins of flight time. it feels a bit heavy.

i used a 4GB 20$ Spycam that comes as a pen. removed the “pen” and used only the PCB/Board. Its fun. i need to get the camera angle more upwards – a little bit to much grass in the vids, but some people to.

where to get the cam, just google spycam pen, amazon, ebay, you can get them anywhere.

The camera needs to be cut, the pcb taken out, the camera lipo needs to be removed and powerd by the heli lipo. and the sensor-chip needs to be brought to an 90° angle.

Maiden flight of my PicooZ (PicoZ, Pico-Z, Havoc) with 2.4 Ghz Walkera RX2406. only 2 Channels Used. Super smooth flying, no cyclics, foward speed is only controlled by center of gravity. AUW 12.4 g. held together only by clear tape.
thanks to EQMOD on RCGroups who did this mod first.

for the cyclics, im planning to use the actuator / servo board mod, here is my test-bed video:
