Board Cam Blues!

[T-Richard]

Hi guys,

Having issues with my board cams. I started by flying thru my 808 when I started FPV. Had no issues as I was flying in the winter and once the snow melted I started seeing the issues with the slow transitions from light to dark. I swithced to a Sony super had II from ebay and then a surveilzone Sony Super HAD CCD 600TVL. Neither of which were any better... contrast was better but my colors are really messed up. I use the OSD and adjust but the changes don't stick, needs to be redone everytime it powers up....

these were both nearly 50$ and I am dissappointed. I see reviews online and they look so nice, not sure why mine are duds.

I'd like an alternative that doesn't need so much set-up? how's the fatshark cmos? is it as good as advertised? anything cheap that works well?

any ideas?

Also, NTSC vs PAL? what's that all about? also I am in Canada so if someone can suggest cameras that are easily attainable here

I've had good luck with the $26 Super HAD from Surveilzone. http://www.surveilzone.com/fpv/fpv-camera/sony-super-had-ccd-600tvl-fpv-ir-block-camera-2.8mm-lens

Do you have the IR block lens for yours? If not, that could explain some of the colour issues. In Canada, NTSC is the standard we use.

that's exactly my camera. The lens is IR blocked... maybe it's my settings but I adjust them constantly...
