Radian Pro FPV (onboard camera)

First person view from my Parkzone Radian Pro. Second day out, so the flying's not super great, but the view is pretty nice from up there. I cut the boring long motor runs and the parts where I suck (there's one or two seconds of that). Wind picks up towards the end so the landing is a bit interesting, but there's been much worse since this video was taken... Feel free to ask me any questions!

@FLoHIO117 I don’t have access to my plane right now. They’re called 808 keychain cameras, and they run about 10-25 bucks. There's some good info just scattered around the web as well as quite a few videos on youtube that give an overview. Perfect for RC, cause they don’t weigh much at all, and if you break it, who gives a shit; it’ll just put you out of ~15 bucks!

@macaddict34 can you make a vid of your fpv setup on your radian?

@FLoHIO117 I’m really a noob with sailplanes so my longest flight is ~45 minutes. I’ll post another video here soon of a flight that didn’t end real great due to a seized aileron servo.

@FLoHIO117 It’s not a true FPV system, but just a 15 dollar “keyfob Spycam”. I’m not sure what it weights, but it’s not very much (I was even able to tape it on one of Parkzone’s ultra-micros and the thing still flew!). The weight of the camera is tiny compared to the radian pro, so you’ll never notice a hit in performance. Flight times are not effected either. Those are highly variable; if conditions are good the thing will stay up for a long time in the hands of good pilot.

hello how well does this fly with the weight of the fpv system and how long?
