It was a bit shaky (more PID tuning needed...) so I stabilized it with Youtube video editor... lost a bit of quality...
I'm quite happy with the results, the camera was simply…"

Olivier Dufayt replied to armin's discussion suitable camera"Hi Armin,
I just tested a cheap chinese HD action cam... and got very good results...
It's the "Exdreme Camera",
Image quality is very good, as good as a GoPro ! It goes up to 1080p at 30 fps, and 720p at 60 fps.
for the price you…"
Dave replied to armin's discussion suitable camera"Brendon,
Thanks for the info. I've been searching for a cam for my bixler 2 build. I just ordered the HoryzonHD V2. This was the last part that I needed to peg down. I was not wild about the gopro because of the mounting options in my…"
UAVOZ replied to armin's discussion paparazzi vs ardupilot"IMO it is about the flight characteristic of the UAV and not the flight control boards/software you are using. The telemetry component may have some impact on the boards.
I have used both paparazzi and APM. I think APM is more user friendly because…"
Kurt Kreiger replied to armin's discussion suitable camera"I have had good luck with a Nikon s9300. Comes with a cable you can use for live video out. You can even get creative and stick a servo on the camera so you can trigger the shutter to capture a still shot while you are in video mode."

Søren Kuula replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"Hi,
Do you need HD video downlink? Do you want to use the GoPro WiFi solution for that?
If so, please consider that a WiFi cannot span 1500m.
If not, maybe a standard SD old fashioned analog composite video signal, CCD camera is better. They are fed…"
Luke Olson replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"Search for FPV systems (which consists of a small video transmitter on the UAS and a receiver on the ground). There are many available for SD video for a few hundred dollars or less. They vary in frequency and output power but other than that are…"
armin replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"what about real time video transmission with gopro ? what solutions are available ? "
Luke Olson replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"The GoPro cameras can be powered with USB which is 5 volts (same as radio control gear). It might be a good idea to use a dedicated BEC for the camera so it doesn't overload the circuit powering the radio control gear and/or autopilot."
armin replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"The first priority is with realtime video transmission .
Is it possible to use external battery for achieving long duration ?
I will tell you about resolution later . "
Justin L replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"I just got my gopro silver the other day. Still playing with it but looks good, esp with the protune feature. Ill be using mine for aerial photography/video but i wont be streeming it in real time. My setup is going to have a second low res camera…"
Luke Olson replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"At what resolution? The GoPro cameras can record in HD but I think their output of the live video is SD. The duration could be a problem too if relying only on the internal battery."
armin replied to armin's discussion go pro hero3"please compare gopro with sony fcb series for this mission :
1) operating at 1500 m alt
2) 2 hr endurance.
3) realtime transmitting video to ground
4)using the video for uav control"
