What camera have you had the best luck using for on board video?
I’ve had pretty good luck with three models from the post-keychain Mobius line, starting with the Action Cam (full 1080p), the (now-discontinued) Mobius 2 (faster frame rate but issues with audio-video sync), and most recently the excellent Mobius Maxi (2.7k UHD resolution at 30 fps).What camera have you had the best luck using for on board video?
Does this describe the issue at hand?Got a run cam, does not work
$29.99 including rocket it's embedded in at AC Supply ($50 from Estes...). Anybody ever use these? Reliability? Can't imagine quality is all that great. Is it adequate for LPR/MPR below 2000 AGL, or just a waste of resources? https://www.acsupplyco.com/estes-5325-astrocam-model-rocket-kit?search=Estes AstroCamMateCam 808 with the 120 wide angle lense, when it was affordable. Probably the most affordable cam now would be the one on the Estes EST7308 AstroCam.

Here's a sample, the actual file recorded by the Mobius Maxi camera (rather than a re-rendered You Tube video).

Hi Justin, nope, Will not take videos, Tried different cards, tried my sons phone. Can't make it work.
helpRunCam2 is now the most popular platform. Most people have had good success with them.
helpRunCam and never look back.
Reformat the card and try again. Might be that the camera just doesn't like that card. I use Samsung Evo Select 128s and have zero issues across 4 different cards and several cameras.help
my runcam 2 4k is acting up.
It does not like a 128 U3 A4 SanDisk card formatted with EXFAT.
It works with a 64 g U3 A4 SanDisk extreme plus , formatted with FAT.
Also while using the WIFI app I can connect to camera but can not get the setting icon to open, the app locks up.
Have you used the USB to TV out cable with the runcam 2 4K to config the camera.
thanks
I now use a Samsung 128 PRO U3 A2 with no card problems.Reformat the card and try again. Might be that the camera just doesn't like that card. I use Samsung Evo Select 128s and have zero issues across 4 different cards and several cameras.
As to the app, my default answer is 'delete and reinstall' as many apps go haywire with ANY phone updates.
Mobius for years, looking into RunCam now...
I just use a screw with some good bite through the hole in the top of the camera and a patch of velcro underneath to keep it steady. I’ve used this exact set up on four different rockets with three different materials of airframe. Never had a problem. Even went through Mach like this. Not sure about battery life because I use them for such a short duration. But I do charge them about 15 minutes before each flight day.very cool . I had 808 #16 for about 12years, with very good luck.
I just got he 808 #32, with a 32 G U3 A2 card.
Your post "No shroud required "
How is the camera secured to the rocket?
what kind of battery life does your 808 # have?
I also like the newer mSetup.exe app.
