Bonzo Moon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I just tested the updated Firefly 2 Microcam from Hawkeye. 2.5k and 1080 60 fps video. records to microcard, plus FPV output. I flew it on my Dancing wings mini eagle, lovely foamie that looks just like a buzzard when it's in the air. I've had it mobbed by gulls sometimes when flying it! Video and test video is here. Camera is £34 Banggood link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It looks quite good. Equally- is that an affiliate link? If so you should probably divulge this for the sake of transparency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Moon Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Yes, it is an affiliate link, but I have given an honest review. It's a great little camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave windymiller Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I bought one of these and thus far very happy with the quality. My pc wouldnt play the raw .mov files without stuttering but converting to mp4 worked.

Bonzo Moon Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Excellent footage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave windymiller Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Does anybody know of a free video converter? The one i did the utube video will not let me do any more. Other free ones plaster a banner across the screen or dont work at all. Failing that any suggestions to get .movs to work without stuttering on a PC (with very good video card!!!) Any suggestions gratefully received Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GONZO Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Google 'Freemake Video Converter', and 'Freemake Video Downloader' if you want to 'rip' YouTube videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Moon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Quicktime player is free and will play Mov files. https://support.apple.com/en_GB/downloads/quicktime and Handbrake will convert mov and is free. https://handbrake.fr/ Edited By Bonzo Moon on 14/01/2020 00:17:56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dave, Winff is a free video converter which will convert just about any videos format. It is a GUI for FFMPEG a command line interpreter that can do just about anything video related. No adverts, watermarks or similar and is free. Only for Windows and Linux as far as I am aware.

Cliff 1959 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Great info and video Bonzo, thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Moon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 No worries Cliff. It's a good camera but I think the price has gone up a bit since I reviewed it. Yes, £46 I had a good afternoon up at LH the other day when the rain stopped and wind dropped for once. Got my Lidl lightweight flying pretty well, though still has a tendency to climb to much with more than 1/2 throttle.
