Elliot_HC Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Now that the FlyCamOne V2 is no longer in production there doesn't seem to be much in the way of lightweight simple jpg cameras about. I have a photo reconnaissance aircraft that simply takes photos and I need something with 3 wires: +V Take photo 0v Is there anything currently out there? I don't want to carry anything large with it's own battery or go through some power up sequence or hack something. Thanks Edited By Elliot_HC on 07/11/2017 11:24:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I know what you mean, I can't think of one with these features. I just use my mobius set on video mode and grab stills from that, if you find one though let us know. PS I have a flycam somewhere if that is of any interest.

Andy G. Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Use the Mobius app to take stills at so many second intervals, much better pic quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot_HC Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I need to be able to power this from my 3.6v-4.2v cell to keep the weight down.. I assume you are talking about carrying a phone and using an app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy G. Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Elliot.. There's an app which you dowload to your phone/tablet what ever, called Mobuius action cam , or mobius tools.. It allows you to set all sorts of parameters on your Mobius camera, The most useful one for you in this instance is where , when you put the mobius into stills mode, it allows you to set the time gap between stills, I fly with mine set for one shot every 15 seconds... The app has lots of other really useful parameters too, especially one that lets you invert the video image at source, so you can mount the camera upside down ( for ease of access to the control buttons) under your plane and not have to flip the video in an editing programme afterwards.. The mobius is self powered, so no need to worry about what airborne power you have, you just need to purchase a micro usb lead to plug the mobius lead into your tablet/phone.. Some stills from my mobius here..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie2lL-hmjXk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot_HC Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks but It's not really suited for my application. I need to go a very long time with very little power draw, my board is sleeping mostly. Then I power up and start taking stills.. Every gram counts so I don't really want to be lugging around addition batteries that I can't monitor or manage. I am looking for a bare board solution like the FlyCamOne V2.. If anyone has one of these I will buy it from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 How about about one of these? Or something similar Edited By cymaz on 07/11/2017 18:23:58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot_HC Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I could go with this **LINK** But I'd have to hack it up which Ideally I don't want to have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 HI Elliot, The quality of the Y2000 isn't that great at all at 2 mega pixels. The newer Y3000 is already a lot better with 3 mega. Cfr > Banggood or AliExpress. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot_HC Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks. I think the Y3000 stripped down might be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
