    But how can you use that instead of the drones? can you turn the drones camera off to use just this one?

    I just bought the 107c. camera is good and much lighter and easier to control.

    The reason the date is hovering all over the place is because imaging stabilisation works buy slightly reduce cropping the video and pans the video within that cropped video, to reduce the shake. I hope this makes sense! For an intelligent guy like you I thought you would of figured that out ๐Ÿ˜‰

    mine yizhan only ย went about 3/4's as far in altitude ..and it did ย handle quite bad ..but it worked ..the copter wouldn't light up or spin the blades until i cut the camera off ..but once it was running i re-taped it

    Why not just buy the hubson 107c

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DEAN WATERS says:

    The md80 or md90 would be better as it's quite a bit smaller and lighter but for ยฃ12 on ebay at the moment the proper ย 2mp ย Hubsan camera upgrade might still be a better buy. ย Of course you dont have all the fun inventing and experimenting..

    Hello, just got the same camera, set it up on my syma x5, still sorting it out but have a video posted on my page if your interested in my work in progress ๐Ÿ™‚

    Nice, I'm just waiting for a couple of 808's to arrive. What I'm planning to do is remove the bottom of the x4 and the 808 case, and 3D print an enclosure that will accommodate the camera, and a more powerful battery for the x4. Depending on how it flies, I may replace the motors with ones that have more poke too ;^>

    Hi Julian, as you have a Nexus, you can download Mobius USB Tools onto your phone and if you have one of those USB adapters that accept any USB cable, you could plug your camera into the bottom of your phone. Then load Mobius USB tools app and configure the camera from your phone. One of the clever functions of the app is to rotate the video, that way one doesn't need to do it via your video player or YouTube. There are also a ton of other cool features, like setting up those date tags on the video, location on the video etc. Cool video though, I was surprised to see how small your quad copter was..

    Will the X4 lift the camera or not? Some say yes, some say no. Are there multiple, lighter and heavier versions of this camera or something??

    Julian:

    I'm interested in knowing what video camera and NLE software you used to processed the video.ย  Thanks.
