Ant- Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Branching out from another thread, at the weekend I managed to attach a tiny Key Fob video camera to my Rev. The initial results can be seen here: http://www.vimeo.com/13463554 (sick bag recommended). Since then I've constructed a more sturdy mount from PolyMorph (wonderful stuff!!) and a cable clamp which should allow it to point straight froward from the leading edge. Here's the camera in its new mount Here's some picture of the mount and attachment Hopefully I should have some more footage at the weekend...

Did you notice any kite function/handling problems? Interested in seeing more from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant- Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Now that is COOL! Did you notice any kite function/handling problems? Not really - the wind was a bit up & down so it was hard to tell but the whole caboodle only weighs 22 grams Any chance you are both going to be in Portsmouth? Possibly - haven't got that far arranged yet, but we've missed out on most of the fests this year due to family commitments so it would be nice to get down Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I am sorry but you have jumped to the wrong conclusion, I did not say that I filmed this masterpiece merely that it was filmed at Holland Haven, my only part in the video is that I was one of the Quad pilot's trying to hold a kite still in the air, I put the link up to give people an idea of what is possible when a kite/camera combination is in the hand's of a master flyer/camera operator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant- Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'll dig out the link for the place I bought mine - was very cheap. Delivery was about 2 weeks from the far east. I souced a memory card locally due to the number of counterfiets available from shady sellers... Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wufer Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ok thanks to both. Looks like your goin to start a new trend here    Iv also asked the camera man for help on your youtube. link, Wobbly Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant- Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 This is the place I got mine from - it's gone down a few pence since then even. You can't really go wrong... I'm going to order a few more for a multi-point buggy cam rig - one forwards, one on the pilot, one from the kite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wufer Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I ordered three from three dif'  shops. Got my first one and, mmmmmmm Photo works, but video dont work.

Juddering is a common issue with slower cards. Not sure what you mean by glittery though... Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wufer Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hello Ant  Yes, im useing a Transcent 4GB, class 6  card so that should be ok. Its hard to explain but. If you can imagine panning around a room, the vid should be nice and smooth. Well, on mine, it jumps, just as if you had flicked the camera, instead of moveing it smoothly. The sound jumps too. Remember years ago there used to be a comic on telly, and he would talk into a mike, and he made it sound as if the mike was faulty, and he used to miss words out, well my sound is like that. Anyway ill let you know how my other cameras get on when thy come. Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant- Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hmm... sounds liek it probably is a duffer then. I remember the comic guy you're talking about!! Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wufer Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Update. My second camera came today, and it was just like the first  Off hand i tryed my cable from my Canon PowerShot, which by chance fits the rev cams. And now both rev cams work ok  . So its nothing to do with the cameras; its the cables to connect to the computer thats faulty Wufer happy now  . Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
