Nice looking POV cam with pivot head - anyone ever used one of these? - Blogs

I have a FlyCamOne3 or FCO3 along with the transmitter set that goes with it. All-in-all it is compact and does work. I had the display screen go out and had to get it replaced, and recently had to pay over $50 to get the pan/tilt RX cable (most of witch was shipping) because all the US dealers dropped them. I wish I had spent the money elsewhere. Piecing together a system is much more hassle but much easier to repair, support, and modify as your needs change. It was very appealing to me as a beginner but now I feel differently. I still have it and use it on one airplane so I like it but wouldn't spend the money on it again. I would get (and have) a GoPro and separate transmitter then build a servo base for pan/tilt(I don't yet have pan tilt on my GoPro). Optical zoom would be cool but it doesn't have that. Just my opinion.
