Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2006Anyone seen a USB video camera work on a plane?
I'm looking for a little solid-state video camera which I can mount on an RC plane. I think my wife's cheating on me and I want to spy on her (Hehe I'm only joking about that part). But I heard it's possible to get a relatively cheap solid state video camera. i.e one that stores the video on an internal memory stick and not on video tape. Then you simply upload the video into a PC via a USB port. Problem is I have no idea where to find such a device.. if it exists in the first place. Any advice most welcome.

Yes, but a cheap one which doesn't use tape. Records onto its own memory stick. Still looking. Travec >>You mean, like, a digital video camera. > >Yes, but a cheap one which doesn't use tape.

Tv will cost more as it needs higher resolution. to a PC much less, but it will be a lower resolutin >Doi you want video to go to a TV or on a PC? >How long do you want to record for? >So you need sound? Yes its for a PC.. Sound would be handy although not essential and I guess about 10 mins recording time would be enough.

It is a discontinued product by Verbatim, but if you search over the net you can still find one. It records 3 to 6 minutes only (128Mb) but it has a battery inside and can shoot photos or rec videos on air and download them right after flight on your pc through USB port. The price is high, but it is the smallest and easiest.

They are around 3.1 Megapixel interpolated, so the quality will not be wonderful, have a fixed focus lens and auto exposure that fails miserably in bright light high contrast situations (model against a sky). They also have a digital zoom, do not be tempted to use it, the resolution is so low and the compression so high, the results don't bear description. They weigh around 100 grams so pretty easy to mount in a plane, with a 512 MB SM/MM card you will get around 2 hours of recording. They also have a Li-Ion mobile phone battery for power that lasts for ever. For all their faults it is possible to get reasonable results, and for around £35, good fun to play with.

Just put your phone on the plane - Nokia 6131, with 256MBytes RAM can record reasonable (quite good, actually) video for over 1/2 an hour in one go. At least, mine can, and I have also got a few 100 MP3 files on the chip as well :-) |
