On board video camera

[Rolex]

I'm looking for a camera to mount on RCs, both trucks and helis.
Any recommendations for a good one? I don't want one with a transceiver, but one with its own memory chip.

traxxas make the most popular. The new Go Pro R/C HD Hero cam. It comes with it's own memory card, and a bunch of mounts for your trucks. The quality of the video is amazing!

GoPro Hero

Traxxas sells a re-branded version.

From the vids I have watched the hero cam awesome for action videos! Rolex, do you have a friend that runs rc's or will this show the exciting life your rc's have on the shelf?


You had to be expecting that

That looks WAY too big to take up in a heli. I was looking for something smaller.

It's actually pretty small. I saw a guy take one up under a nitro heli.

Hey Rolex, for what it's worth I own a Go Pro and it will not fit under the body of my Blade 400 because it hangs down below the skids. I bought one of these things, and I'm gonna try it out this weekend.

There's also some guys at the field using these, and they have good quality on the vids, and will mount up to just about anything due to their small size.

Have you looked at the Venome Snake Eye Camera? It's much smaller than the one mentioned in the previous posts here. Video isn't too bad either. This video of me and some other bajas was shot with one mounted on a friend's hat...

I'm surprised it took 4 posts to get the abuse.

This is in the ballpark of what I'm looking for:

My big nitro heli doesn't get used since I'm too far from the field now, so I need something I can fly locally under the 400s.

You want to mount a video camera on your RC? I can't wait to see that 15 minute video of nothing but a wall, shelf and maybe a feather duster go by.

If you are lucky it will be exceptionally dusty that day, and we can see him freak out like a germophobe.

LMAO!!

Thanks for that link, Jim. I think that might be the one. It's also got sound so WoodiE will actually be able to hear the swish of the Swiffer duster.
