Posting to Youtube seems to work better.
Thank you!
Posting to Youtube seems to work better.
Here's a link to an onboard video I have in YouTube. The Runcam Splits I have are the 3k version (they're pretty cheap).
That "polycarbonate window" is that the "dive case" underwater mount you can purchase?Just one with a flight. I had to severely trim it for TRF to accept it as an upload, but you can get a sense of the quality and stabilization. Before apogee it was looking out a polycarbonate window. After apogee the camera is ejected from the airframe (but still attached)
It's an app called Dashware.how did you add that cool overlay?!
If you want to hit all four items on your list, a RunCam 6 in an external shroud is maybe the way to go, although personally I had nothing but bad luck with both the Runcam 2 4K and the 6. I was an early buyer of both, so maybe they got some of the bugs worked out. Other people have had success with them. I bought a Mobius Maxi 4K and it has worked great for me, but it does not have phone connectivity. I have also had success with the RunCam Split 4, but it’s not as easy as installing a camera on an external shroud.As of the start of 2025, what is the best (or near best) onboard video camera to house with a 2. 1" / 54mm rocket that is -
1. Not necessarily the cheapest
2. Gets good - but not superb resolution
3. MUST be easy to install
4. Wifi blue tooth connectivity / connection to iphone highly preferable.
Thanks in advance - its all very confusing oit there.
No, it was just a McMaster 1.5" polycarbonate tube that I cut a section from and glued to my coupler tube.That "polycarbonate window" is that the "dive case" underwater mount you can purchase?
I really like your approach. It's a nice small blister which I'd like to emulate. I'm new to both rockets and cameras so let me confirm your starting point before I spend some money. It looks like you started with this: Runcam Split, and then dissected the camera. It's just not readily apparent if/how the case comes apart. I'd like a little comfort before I take a nutcracker to the case. Thanks.I use Runcam Splits and an Eggtimer WiFi module to turn them on.
This one is for am externally mounted camera shroud.

This one is installed inside the airframe with an angled porthole.

The Runcam Split 3 that I used doesn't have any case. The controller is a bare board and the lense and the board it's mounted to are all uncovered.I really like your approach.

I like that mount... it makes me think about making one for an old deactivated iPhone I have laying around. Yeah, it's heavy but on a 20# rocket it doesn't matter much... it's just a little more ballast.1st 3 pics are the pod and the Deuce54. Last is the pod on the Deuce98.
