FPV Racing Rear View Camera Action

[James JAB]

Hi All,
Here is a test of the Runcam HD camera. The Spanky 5 is fitted with two Runcam HD camera's, one facing forwards and another underneath the quad facing backward capturing all the footage that's normally lost.

Flying the Spanky 5 with an extra 50g+ (camera and isolation mount) was interesting in the corners but still managed to perform well overall. The sound is a bit ropey due to unbalanced props and worn bearings in the motors after a long session of racing.

I fitted both Runcam HD cameras with 32Gb TF cards and had them recording well over 18 races each and they both had plenty of battery left for more racing. I enabled WDR on both camera's which was not needed and it gave the raw footage very over saturated colours.

Thanks for posting James, excellent footage.

We are running a Lumenier QAV250 CF at the moment and having great fun with it

Thanks from me too James.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, looks like great fun. Perhaps I will try one of those quad thingies one day.
