Caddx 'Walnut' 4K action cam + Mach1 AV Bay

[SkyWhal3]

I decided to go with a Caddx 'Walnut' action camera for the onboard video. I poorly integrated it into a Mach1 Rocketry 65mm Avionics bay with 0.3mm to spare.

The Walnut has:
2.7k resolution @ 60fps. (4k@30fps)
128GB storage
On board audio
GyroFlow gyro data.
Wi-Fi
USB-C data + charging!
11.1volt 600mAH batteries
30min record time for 4k @ 30FPS.
PLUS it isn't $300 - $500 like a GoPro!

With the phone App, both the camera settings and record commands + live video feed can be accessed without needing to touch physical controls or do stupid QR code games like some other RunCam options I looked at.
AV bay is using an EggTimer Quasar + Caddx Walnut on a 65mm sled.

The total weight of the stripped down 'walnut' without the case is 36 grams.

Looks good. Let us know how it flies. The cantilever lens looks like it might not like high Gee flights, but it may be ok. I have done some simple mods to Chinese action cams from Amazon, but i havent flown them yet. I like how close you were able to get the fisheye lens to the airframe.

Nice. I like cameras inside the rocket and not as a giant wart on the outside of the airframe.

This looks really interesting. How hard was it to get the case off ? Also, just to clarify, you can get it recording without needing to access any buttons on the camera ? I like to bury my cameras inside the rocket so I don't want to be required to access buttons. I like cameras that start recording as soon as power is applied. (The Runcam Split 3 Lite is an example) That way I can start recording as soon as I power the alt bay (or wherever I put the camera)
