Split Cameras

[JoeTekcor]

I have a camera mounted on the outside facing down but I wanted a horizontal facing camera mounted internally. This pic is from before I painted.

That's an amazing video. I was a little apprehensive about doing that on my own rockets, but seeing that has changed my mind

RunCam Thumb

Because this thread has been so helpful to me, I’ll share a few of my bays with a RunCam split 3 lite. Hope these help someone else in the future. About to start on a 75mm MD project, and will be using the RunCam split again, only this time with a Wi-Fi switch and heatsink bonded with thermal epoxy.

RunCam Thumb

I was looking at the runcam thumb for a nosecone cam in my 38mm minimum diameter rocket. But it would end up with a vertical video. It is made to record with the camera horizontal.

@Cherrywaves89 --

Very nice spring loaded mount !

What diameter are the tubes in your photos?

Unfortunately I just don't know. I'm just starting to gain experience with this model myself. I'll share anything I learn in the next couple of months.

Thanks. These are 38mm, (orange) 54mm (black spring loaded) and 98mm (white)

I didn't realize that was a video. Wow! I love the spring load. I was trying to figure out how I was going to get the camera flush in one of my applications.

I went with a $120 Caddx Walnut. The WiFi is nice, allowing access to settings and to start recording as you leave the pad.
https://caddxfpv.com/products/caddx-walnut-action-camera
2.7k @ 60fps
Wi-Fi + audio
128GB storage
USB-C
GyroFlow stabilization for post processing
30min record time with 4K
Phone App control

Weight with batteries is 35grams.

How hard was it to remove the Caddx Walnut from its case ? I'm interested in trying what you did, but I don't want to brick a $$ camera trying to "crack" the Walnut

What camera are you using?

Can you show a few pics of the inside of the AVbay and how its all mounted up?

It’s the runcam split 4.

Pics from various prints.
The battery is on the sled with the altimeters.

@JoeTeckcor, Is that an EggTimer wifi switch you are using? Does the Split 4 record immediately on power up?

It is and there is a setting to record on power up. That is how I use it.
Assuming the launch pad isn’t too far away I can turn it on from my phone right before the launch. That way I don’t have to worry about it overheating and shutting down while I wait my turn.
I’ve only had one launch so far but it worked well.

Quite a lot of cameras have a setting that allows them to start on power to USB. Mobius certainly has it and there is a firmware version for then 808 cameras
