My cam finally came in the Mail today.
Just want the know if anyone has used it and had problems incerting the 2 Gig SD Card. It wouldn't recognize mine until I reformatted it in FAT32.
I had it formatted in NTFS and I kept getting an Error on Card insertion.
Anyways.

I plugged it up on the TREX600 and shot it up about 200 Feet. There was no shaky shaky video like most people. It was smooth as glass. !!!:YeaBaby:

Either I got very lucky, or my Rex runs very smooth.. I'm hoping its the later.

Anybody have any good Ideas on how to maunt the Cam. It came with a buch of Accesories. Its mounted on the left skid and i have to put right trim on it.
thanks!!:thumbup:

I have one, but haven't mounted it yet... too cold up here anyway to fly. I plan on mounting it under the nose (battery tray?)...maybe sticking out a little from the nose. so it's centered .

Can you upload the video somewhere? I'd like to see it.:thumbup:

[Randallhurd]

I plan on doing that tonight.
The CAmera only comes with 32 megs of memmory.
I have the 2 GIG card formatted to FAT32 verses NTFS. I got that part up late last night. Needless to say I only had a couple 30 second clips.
Today when I get home I'll be able to video for 2 hours straight, If I can keep in the Air that long,, :YeaBaby:
I should get a nice 4 - 5 1/2 minute flight with it tonight.
I'll post in on Youtube.

Here's where I mounted mine, I had it under the frame and got too much vibration and also only pictures directly in front of the heli. This way you get a little downward angle on the camera.

Has anyone got a short full-res clip to show how clear the picture is before "youtubing"? Several of us are looking at these but can only find low-res clips. It can be of anything :)

[ChasHeliCop]

I have a file that's 23MB if you want me to email it to you, send me an PM with an email address.

[Efliernz]

Done thanks. Time to see if the work geeks have a size-filter on...

[Randallhurd]

I'm currently uploading to Youtube,
After looking at the video, my better judgement on video hit me.
As I hovered at approx 200 feet, when the cam hit the sun the video started chopping a little. The nex one that I post on Youtube, I plan on using a UV and CPL filter for the sun. CPL (Circular Polarized Lense) Filter/:thumbup:

[Efliernz]

Thanks for that. A little entertainment for afternoon tea (it's 15:34 here) - and the boys are off shopping for one now...

Hey Pete, I forgot to tell you. I bought mine off of Amazon.com for $85, not including the memory card. It comes with everything else you need.

[Randallhurd]

I've been trying to upload to Youtube for the last two hours,
I've shrunk the video from 118 Megs to 30 megs,,
I keep drropping the router on upload, I'm going to have to work this one out when the band width is a little wider.
Sorry about that.
:wink:

[Randallhurd]

I finally got the video uploaded.
Geeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
That'slike pulling teeth getting video uploaded,

That's a REALLY GREAT idea :thumbup: I didn't even think of mounting it there!

Bad luck but to be fair, with trees and a mailbox, you haven't given yourself much room. We all started in the beginning. Keep it up but do find a bigger back yard!!!

[Randallhurd]

:thumbup:I've only been flying for about 5 months now.
I start in the yard to get the feel for it.
Yesterday when I was at the park , I reailzed that it was even getting to small..
Taking some baby steps with this one.
This weekend I'm going to fly around the Army in Dallas, They have a pretty big field and lots of Army trucks and some soldiers.
I don't think anybody there is into Helis. The few people that I've had over from the Unit get this amazed look on their fac ewhen they see it fly,
I think it will be Great. I'll post that one on Youtube probably Sunday Afternoon.
:thumbup:

That was a brave camera operator.

[ChasHeliCop]

I think when you start flying there, you will get more people interested in flying. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions.

[Randallhurd]

Yes he was a little jumpy, but not to bad. That's my kid Kevin on the Camera,
I don't think he's to afraid of anything considering what I caught him doing last summer. Kevin and some of his friends thought that it would be a good idea to find a mattress in the woods on a dirt road in Quinlant, tie a 60 foot rope to the back a pickup truck and go mattress surfing down this down road. I didn't find out about until I found the camera they were using to film the whole thing in the Kitchen,,
I wasn' t that funny at the time. I think I still have the video somewhere.. Crazy kid sometimes..

I also hope that they don't ask to many questions at the Armory this weekend. But I do bet it will be a blast:YeaBaby:

I shot a couple photos from the TREX450 this morning.
I had a lilttle Boo Boo with the TREX600 last night, I had to use the TREX450.
On the TREX600 I lost orientation due to the time of day ,, It was getting pretty dark. I won't do that again. I had a Hard Nose Dive.. The padding that I used on the LIPO saved the Battery. If that Heli can take a full speed nose dive crash and not even damage the LIPO, I could be on to somthing.. :thumbup:

[Randallhurd]

I don't know if you can upload videos here,, I'll try it
