E- flight camera

[sham]

Just got one of these
www.rcpitstop.co.uk/e-flite-180-qx-hd-720p-hd-video-camera-efla800-4514-p.asp

Done a quick video test off plane and it works well. Can even be controlled by the tx if you have a spare flaps/gear port on your rx. The remote control can turn the video on/off or take a still. I don't have a spare servo port, but it can be operated manually too.

Video quality is reasonably good and with just a tiny battery door mod, it mounts nice and solidly.

I also like that the angle of the lens can be altered through 45°.

Sadly too windy for a flight today, but next time I'm up, I'll have onboard video

I have multiple efc-721 cameras, and yes, they work pretty well, until the internal battery dies. Has anyone either replaced the internal battery or figured out how to power the unit externally? I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks, Baz

Never owned that sort of camera

I use a 808 #16 key cams with a D lens ( wide lens )

and battery can be replaced

Thanks for the info. Your key cam has similar specs to the E-Flite 721 camera. Both are 720p video cameras with sound. Both use 1S batteries.

I opened up the 721 to check out the battery. The battery can be replaced, it just needs to be soldered, no connector.

good to hear....it can be changed soldering should not be to bad to do

these key cams are bright and clear and the sound is good
and not to expensive and they are light and can be mounted with velcro
on any plane , almost everywhere you wish to mount it

I have had them on the Horizontal stab....out on the wingtips top and bottom
to underneath the plane, to the top of it , to inside the cockpit and facing any direction

they do great.

hope you manage to get them working and or just buy one of these key cams
