Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice:
I am in Europe and fly a 500-type quad which, unlike the manufacturers standard fixtures and fittings, has been kitted out with the best motors, ESCs, gyro and radio it can handle.
For some time I have been flying with a GoPro but have always detested its ultra-wide angle and the bent horizontal lines. For basic FPV, it's OK but now I want to crank it up a notch.
The MFW of the quad is 2200g and without the GoPro, the current weight is around 1170g. The intention is to mount a prosumer Panasonic HD camera to capture flight footage but, as we know, such cameras do not have a 'video out' option.
Still with me?
OK.
With a Panasonic camera (or similar) in place, I'm going to need a pilots-eye-view. I already have an 'Immersion RC' 5.8GHz transmitter with a power lead and the usual 4-pin video/sound connector. At present, this connecter terminates in a 3mm jack for use with the GoPro - it can be changed.
So here's my question: does anyone have any suggestions for a GoPro replacement? FlyCamOne ECO for example? Or just anything lightweight that will work with my existing TX system?
All thoughts and suggestions welcomed.
Snaps
