Hello,

If you have any positive or negative experience with a low-cost HD (High Definition) camcorder used on small UAVs, can you share it with us ?

Thx
Roberto

Has anybody seen this HD camera - http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=33. Not sure how it would compare.

No personal experience but the local hacker space is getting one of these:

This wasn't on a UAV, but I was mighty impressed with the HD video from the JVC GC-FM1 or Picsio a friend took on his Radian glider considering the light was pretty poor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPxm7eIqY2U (remember to turn HD on!)

The small camcorders like Camileo, Webbie. Aiptek etc. can't handle movement very well, the sample videos are jumpy.
Is there a small camcorder with perfect, fluid HD video?

We've had good results with the Webbie -- it's also easy to mod for external triggering.

Go for Sony Webbie, it is not much costly and it has 270 degree rotating camera.
see the blog of Hooks.
