Best FPV video – ever!

August 28th, 2009 RobZULU 1 comment

Ok, it’s not new (from Jan. 2009) but what Gabriel from Brazil does is just amazing. Incredible. Not legal in Germany probably. Filmed on location in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – most amazing set – Gabriel isn’t shy to show fly-through-tunnels, fly-through-windows and other crazy stuff in this best of. Probably a 1~ GHz setup with lots of mW’s…

So to me its the best FPV vid ever – or show me something better!

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.
