Here is a trailer I made to tow behind a glider to capture "chase view" footage while on the slope. It will fit a wide range of aircraft and should work well for powered planes and quads too. It would also work for fpv flying. The trick is the stabilizing rods used to tow the chase trailer. Zach...

I am building a camera housing which i need a GoPro to be able to pan left and right. But….I need to be able to control how far it turns. I do not have the luxury of using a large remote, i.e. need to use something very small like a dial that i can mount to another camera system. I watched the...

I ordered an FPV kit from HobbyKing a while back but didn't give any thought as to how I would mount it to my Quadrotor. (I built the Electrohub air frame from the FliteTest store.) Since I didn't have a good mounting solution, I let the FPV stuff sit in its box for a while. Since then I have...

Finally this bad boy arrived. Eachine 700TVL 1/3 Cmos FPV 110 Degree Camera w/32CH Transmission Placed the order with Banggood back in January and right now items are taking a month to come in. Still well worth the wait specially since this unit only cost $30 Canadian. The last 200mw micro...

So far vibration dampening has been the number one enemy for me in this hobby. I have built quads that fly amazing (to me at least), but the part that always gets me is when it's time to isolate the camera from vibrations. I want to know what others are using as DIY vibration dampeners. I have...

So I'm (im)patiently waiting for the arrival of my new Christmas present (which seems to be a recurring theme among the forums lately) in the form of FatShark Predators and ImmersionRC circular polarized antennas. I'll be putting my setup on a Bat Bone with a KK 2.1.5 controller board and...

Hello Guys, This is my first post here in this forum. I would like to share my experience with the FT Bloody Wonder. I've started scratch building / piloting RC planes about 3 weeks ago, when my FT Versa kit arrived. From that point on I was hooked! I learned how to "fly" just barely enough with...

Ok, so have been flying FPV through my gopro for a bit now, built myself up a dart250 and some multistar elite 2204 motors... This thing is a beast!!! Anyway, I want to get boardcam, partly for weight-might get a Mobius, and also have heard too many horror stories about gopros cutting out... My...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or maybe the electric multirotors one buy my issue with Sony Super HAD CCD 600TVL IR Block that I use for FPV. I recently lost the lens that came with it while flying in the air. I purchased three new ones Neewer® CCTV Security Camera Lens (3.6mm) Board...

Hi Guys and Gals, I've been trying to get some smooth video without a prop in the way. Would a Versa Wing in the pusher configuration be a good fit for this? Will it be smooth and "Floaty"? :D Also, would this be a good or stupid idea? I would like to make a version of the swappable pod...

When I choosing the frame for my F450, I was looking at a frame like this with a pitch/elevator gimbal for the FPV camera. However, I've been thinking about how it could be implemented on to a miniquad. BlackSheep's Gemini made me think about it again. It looks like the Gemini has motors...

I'm wanting to run a quad off a 4S battery but need 12 volts for the TX and camera. What is the difference between using a UBEC vs Step-Down Voltage Regulator? Does one provide clean power while the other doesn't? UBEC Pros: UBEC can (most of the time) have a higher output mA. Step Down...

I have a 720 HD Camera made for RC planes... its about the size of a baby carrot or so. It isn't waterproof or high quality but it does the job. Anyway, I want to mount it to my super cub when I fly with floats (I only really fly the Super Cub at the lake and leave the floats on all the time)...

I have an FPV250 with the carbon fiber cage. How are people mounting the camera to the small piece of CF wedged between the upper and lower plates? I've seen some with nylon spacers and some with some anti-vibration connections. I've looked around and can't figure out what pieces they're...

I stuck a camera in my FT22 and flew it around a bit today. It worked better than I thought it would, so I may revisit the project in the future. Of course, the canopy looms too large in the shot, so that'd have to be cut off which would probably detract from the look of the plane, but I...

I have a quadcopter that I've been using for FPV. I have one of the Sony cameras mounted on the front. I have been using a separate 2S battery to power the camera and the FatShark 250mw VTX but I want to integrate it all into the power distribution board or the balance port so I only have to...

Hi Guys, i got my brand-new GoPro on Christmas! Now i want to put it on my rc planes, but i don't know how to attache it, do you have any tips :D? (no glue pls^^) thanks!

A while ago it occurred to me that maybe everyone is overthinking this whole gopro mount thing. What if you were to utilize the factory mounting system since it's already a hinge? I finally got around to drawing something up in sketchup and was wanting some feedback. There would be a thrust...
