camera image

Originally posted by msgt81   I have this cam and it's mounted on a 36" W/S cessna type,  high wing plane/ 1500 KV Blue wonder.  The video is very wavy, vertically. I have tried mounting the cam near the front ,then rear of the plane. Still wavy video. Throttle speed makes no difference. Upgraded cam w/4gb class 4 card,no difference. Any ideas out there???           http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10973&Product_Name=Turnigy_30FPS_Ultra-Mini_DigiCam_INCLUDING_2GB_SanDisk_Micro_SD

Yep facing down can appear chaotic and hard to watch; its ok to capture down shots though at low res.. also if you have a camera facing forward and one facing down you can watch them both back at the same time in sync for an entertaining perspective, i've found camera angle means a lot when it comes to watching footage back and enjoying it.. try 45-70 degrees angle down from between or around the front landing gear..

i think he means like this (simple representation)

where the picture is Skewed from side to side, moving.

it must be some noise generating it, Try unmounting you cam -turn on the plane, go 4 meters away, start recording (at the plane), and move gradually closer. This will show what happens, and if it is radio noise getting in the cam.

Gota counter weight the plane too unless your into extreme flying..   I have noticed on the heli's anywhere on the heli with a clear view forward is great except for the tail.. cams facing back is a good view too but you get tail rotor noise or blur.. cams on the tail of the heli facing forward I rekon are a really good vantage point but i've found that vibration is the killer here on a 500 size anyway but mabe a carbon fiber tail boom as opposed to alli will be better for this, nothing is impossible just experiment..   I'm stil using the original card that came with the cameras I get the odd dropped frame but there is no way that i would buy a more expensive card to run in these (for me anyway) they serve me well as they are dime a doz   most higher performance cameras and particularly ones with adjustable settings; can produce good images through props , I believe this is to do with shutter speeds   hope this helps have fun..

  The card I got was a 4mb, class 4 card w/ a usb reader($14 Ebay) I thought that was a good deal, longer vids, faster frame rate and maybe would fix my prob. NOT!!
