Looks a 2.4GHz TX, built into the cam. Note at millimeter wavelengths if the antenna antenna 'vibrates' this will cause picture break up, or horizontal lines.

Ideally the TX and antenna should be separate from cam, with a proper dipole antenna facing down, when your airborne, you want most of the signal to radiate down. Antenna, when facing Up can bounce the signal off Carbon blades, giving picture probs, a down-facing mount reduces this.

Hope this helps

@HeliEye Hi and thanks for your input, I no longer fly the Heli with the camera on any more but I do welcome the comments.

regards

Dude i thought the zero G that i was flying could not fly any better until I bolted a set of sab wide blades on it. I could not believe how much more power i had to fingers and if was harder to make it bog.

weird.

Hi Dude

The blades on my 0G are BBT, turned my heli into a delight also pulled my first auto with these blade they are so forgiving. very simillar to you "sab" blade I think.

cool

glad to here you like it.

I helped out a bit with the big the E zero G.

720 mains at a solid 2100+ on 10s.

the project man was moving to 12S to bring the current down. my job was to fly the hell out of it :) Its been almost 2 years since i flew it but i think the peak was about 140amps. the setup made my 90 feel like a worn out 60. the logger showed that the motor was pushing into the 8hp range. last flight was stripped the main gear of every tooth.

Wow

That sound like some machine "8hp" I would strap an FPV camera on that and see how many seconds to 1000ft.

Nice.

whats actually happening here is you have your camera mounted on a toungue that is acting like a tuning fork as your rotors spin up bruv so lock off the vibrations at the front edge of the mounting plate and video quality will improve ;) hope that helps

i think you need to hard mount your camera to your heli no foam at all ;) i know you will think this is rubbish but just me mate btw if you think i am chattin bollox watch a couple of my heli videos mate ;) at the front edge of the mount the camera is on now add 2 carbon rods to stiffen up the front of the cam ledge to turn it into more of a table structure

Thanks for your reply and I will try the velcro.

[videocruzer]

easy way and sometimes it works very well.just use high end velcro. stick the cam on... twist and push. it will not get rid of the low speed vib but the high speed vibration should be gone. most of the lines in the picture are from the video tx vibrating to much. I am working on a mount for my sundowner. U can get this product called new skin from the pharmacy. seems to work very well but i have not tested on my plane yet. the new skin seems very promising but it dries out after a day or 2.
