Sony Webbie on Easystar

I got my Sony Webbie! and with the wide lense.It's installed in the nose of my easystar, I was a little nervous if it was too heavy for the star.The test flight went ok, although the weather was bad.I think it's a great camera for UAV and FPV, although it is big for the Easystar.*AV out.*Hi res HD on the SD card.

  • I have also acquired a magnetic lens system that I use it on my flip camera. I think I have increased the field of vision by about 35%. We don't have to go nearly as high and it seems to have helped in smoothing out the video a bit. Still not sure if I should switch to the webbie. I have included a pic of the lens and an image pulled from the video.

    I have been using that camera for about 6 months and is very good. But i had vibration problems using HD 1080, whem recording video, VGA works incredible well. The live video is great too! Also if you want i can mod your webbie to take pictures a video using your radio control and disable the image rotation when you rotate the camera up and down... .
  • That's great!
    I got my wide angle and fish eye lens today.
    I'm going to hook up my webbie like this...

    For good video reception I use the EZ tracking antenna with ground station.

    It uses the Right audio signal to send GPS info from the EZosd.
    I'm not a salesman, but it's just - real Plug and Play. Great OSD + Tracking antenna + Ground Station using Google earth.
    I know this Ez from Immersion is no news, but I like the very easy and simple way off using hard technology.
    Maybe it has some interest from the Arduteam. No need of extra transmitter to send info from GPS - just like the Xbee.

    The sound on the video are just to show the signal comming from the transmitter. (awful sound)
  • Hi Hooks,

    What software are you using at the end to stitch together the motion compensated frames? Something like Deshaker?

    Cheers,

  • Hooks,
    I'm using the same camera and attaching it to the same location in my tailless. I used velcro to fix it and a thin velcro strap to make sure everything stayed put.
    I didn't know you could get a wide lens as an option and I like the way you rigged a servo to it.
