Turnigy Cam HK52 Super Test

[redshift]

They had over 500 in stock the last time I looked!!!! What the hell?

Think that was about 2 days ago.

Thanks nitro, the lines in the aerial are prop, my buddy's cub already had a giant hole for a Creative Vado, so I just stuffed it in. Normally we'd have minimal prop in the video.


The vibes have been a problem on every cam I've used, but only on the bike. You should see my 8mm video from years back, almost unwatchable. I don't suspect that would ever be an issue with RC, it's just the harshest test I could do.

I think this is about as good as it gets for doing cheap onboard. I have seen some better video from the new keychain cams (ebay items) but it's hit or miss on framerate. The ones with 15 fps suck, if you can be sure you're getting one with 25-30, than that may be better, and they go as cheap as $15 shipped. 15 fps is the standard cellphone video, which is not good for motion shots at all, it looks like rapid-photo more than video. This is true 30 fps (confirmed by me) and looks pretty smooth.

Keep in mind this was one of those bright-dark overcast days. That would give any cam a run for it's money. I based my score on one day of fall testing, so that is not 100% fair, and my score may rise a bit. I may have to wait for spring to find out though!
