    Akk systems cameras

    I have been testing some akk aio cameras out and they are really good, price, weight, picture quality and build are all spot on. The akk bs2 is my particular favourite for my micro quads weighing 3.5g. But I tested the s2, the A3, ba3 and ba2 and all have similarly great results and look well...

    Thoughts on Hover Cam

    Hi I just bought a Hover Cam and I just want to share my thoughts on it. I’ve used Hover Camera and it’s pretty decent product for a drone beginner like myself. The photo and video quality is good, and it’s really easy to control in the air. Currently the company is offering a discount for CES...

    FT210 HD camera mounting

    Hi I am new here. I just built the FT210 quad and have gotten to the point where I am flying it more than crashing it. So now I want to buy a camera like a Go Pro session or Polaroid cube and get some footage of my relatively tame flights. Thing is I am not sure how I would mount that cube style...

    Cheap FPV

    Hey guys, I've been into the hobby for a while now and, recently, I've been wanting to fly FPV really badly but I'm not able to afford the cost. This is when I thought I could try to hook up a standard FPV camera to my phone and place the phone in a cheap, cardboard VR headset. The problem is, I...

    PAL vs NTSC for FPV Racing

    I hate to start another PAL vs NTSC debate, but this is mainly limited to fpv racing. I get that PAL and NTSC is like Europe vs US standards, but with current FPV equipment compatibility with both is now common. So if you're flying fast and reacting quickly, what format is best? It looks like...

    Video Rig Upgrade

    Recently I added some hardware to my main video rig. While I'm still saving up to buy a proper video camera these small low cost additon allow me to continue to use my action cameras.

    Can I use a fpv camera switcher on the 350qx3?

    I have a 350qx3 with a gopro gimbal hooked up to control from my dx8. The quad has two servo connectors in it and one is occupied with the gimbal. So my question is could I control another device like a servo along with the gimbal at the same time? Thx.
