RUNCAM is amazing, how stunning the image quality there cams can provide. I only have a 5 orange cube and it still wows me. I need to get something more compact like that some day.
It’s a nice camera to use and I like the image quality. If it’s fairly bright then you have to use an ND filter or it becomes far to much over exposed. I wish Runcam would give clear instructions on how to set it up manually for different conditions. Auto is ok though. Nice review.
Nice camera & love the exposure but really not alot different from the previous version (which I have & like alot). Just wondred if you were using an ND filter ?
Hi Andrew, thanks for your reply recommending the Runcam thumb pro w on another link. How would this compare to the Runcam 6? I can get either here in NZ for a similar price. Thanks for your advise, much appreciated.
I prefer the Thumb Pro for image quality and simplicity. No charging, just plug it in to your receiver. But the Runcam 6 has more features. Depends how you want to use it.
Hello Mr. Newton. I apologize for these two questions being off the topic of this video, however, I've had a heck of a time trying to find relevant information on the internet: 1) I recently bought a Matek ASPD-4525 digital airspeed sensor, which I intend to install in a Zeta Sky observer with a SpeedyBee F405 Wing FC. I'm curious to know whether altering the length of the hose that comes with the sensor will affect results. The package I received had one length of hose of about 16 inches. I'm unsure this will be long enough to cover the distance of a single run from the pitot to the sensor, let alone for both dynamic and static pressure. I'm hoping I can use more hose than what was initially provided. Do you know whether it's ok to do this? 2) On the SpeedyBee F405 Wing FC, is there any reason why an aileron servo and the Matek ASPD-4525 couldn't share a ground pin on the FC? It could be either the pin connector for the digital airspeed sensor or the PWM pin connector for the corresponding servo. I am replacing the JR-style servo connectors at the wing root/fuselage connection with 6-pin magnetic Pogo Pin connectors. Since there is only one control surface on the wings, I think I should be able to get away with using the Pogo Pin connector as long as it's ok for the sensor and the servo to share a ground. The sensor has 3 pins (5V, SCL and SDA) plus a GND pin. The servo has 2 pins (POS and SIG) plus a GND pin. Also, I've set the servo BEC voltage selection jumper on the FC to 6.0V since that is what the HobbyKing 922MG digital servos run on. Once again, sorry for the off-topic questions and thank you in advance!
Good questions Nikola. I don't think the tube length is critical, it's just measuring pressure and that would not be changed. Yes you can share ground pads, maybe not for very sensitive analog video components, but the airspeed sensor should be fine.
I wouldn't put a gyro on the Phoenix, it's stable enough by itself. But you could use NX3 or a stabilised FrSKY Rx if you use FrSKY. My choice would be a SpeedyBee mini FC without the GPS

Nice little camera Andrew....Your Winter is better than my Summer right now....15C in July....not amused....😳😏🇬🇧
On a beautiful calm day like that, I would put away my RC- gear and get out my Fishing- gear. 🎣😊👍
Would have been a great day to be out on the water
cool little cam 👍👍 great views!
I've been liking that camera for some time. It seems to be more stable (less dropped frames) than the original, and the image is impressive.
Beautiful weather. And the camera picked it up! 👍
Yes it was!
Gee the GyroFlow stabilized works really well.
Best thing you did moving there mate..
Thanks for the great images.
Regards,
Bruce.
Yep cracker day. Would would believe it's mid winter

This one is the best of all onboard cams I think

I Have the 1st version (Thumb)what a awesome little camera for the price! got to love Runcam! great footage Andrew.
Awesome! Thank you!
Lovely weather down there for the time of year mate. Been the usual cold, wet and miserable gumboot weather for the local Ag Show weekend up here. 🥶🤧😱
Ripper day, turned nasty for the next week
I use mine powered through the micro usb slot and plugged into aux port on my RX
Nice camera & love the exposure but really not alot different from the previous version (which I have & like alot). Just wondred if you were using an ND filter ?
No ND for this flight but I would in full summer sun
Wonderful flights & camera #1
I wish Runcam would release this with an inbuilt battery similar to the Mobius 808 #32
Runcam 2 and 6, but yes they are bigger draggier and heavier than the good old 808

Thank you is the comment that I have not found for a long time and especially someone with experience. Greetings from 🇲🇽 ✌🏼

Can you see if it overheats, when attached to a Powerbank for extended use 6-8hrs, please?!
Not without cooling airflow, like on a plane
hey Andrew I want to put a gyro on my phoenix v 2 what would u recommend?
