FPV Bronco. Camera placement.

Not sure where to put the camera.

Not sure either with that terrible choice of photo.... I don't think the battery strapped to the body is a good idea though. I get it, where else can it go? Anywhere but up there.
I would place a camera in the cab looking out the windshield or somewhere on top of the shell.

That battery is there for the lights. I haven't attacked the camera to anything yet. I'm thinking about making a housing and using velcro. Its one battery supply.

Slap it anywhere it will see?

 

[PonkyKong]

There's lots of brush and twigs. Needs to be kept safe from that and the tall grass

Ages ago I mounted a camera up in my SCX10.
I used a provided mount and glued it to the inner roof of the body so it aligned with the window; the windshield was the outline of the view.

Why not do something like that?

It's protected from anything that can hit it.

The only negative I found was if snow got on the chassis, eventually some fog would start to develop on the windshield.

Switched truck bodies. Used the headlight spot. Works ok. Gunna order another one and try it on my green bronco truck
