This is pretty cool....

Is it a color camera? B&W? It says "full TV resolution" and it takes 5MP photos, but that doesn't mean COLOR.

Cool
 
That is pretty cool if you want to video and watch it afterwards. There is also live feed video cameras that you can use tha twill send live footage to its receiver while you drive. I forget what it was called, but you can vertually drive your R/C aroudn the block while you sit on your couch driving it with a view from your 60" platpanel LCD. Its all good.

I'm thinking of buying it to take some over-due video of my RC's.... :whistle: I have a tripod to use with it also.

Choices.
 
Look at this one.

or maybe this one.

I know there are more out there as well.

I have actually seen that camera in action as well as the videos it takes. I work at a bike shop and we got one in as a retirement present for one of the other employees. The quality isn't bad, and the fact that i can get one at cost makes it even better!!!

I once hooked up a 2.4ghz wireless camera to a rc18t and drove it next door to the lhs while watching it on the tv in the lhs. It was difficult to drive, but it was fun!

You mean the TRX one, right? Is it a color camera?????? That's pretty much my only concern!!! :lol:

From what I see, it's the same as a GoPro camera. Here's the same thing with a much better price:

I bought a FlyCam about a month ago, the vid quality is better than I expected- I see it's now $30 less than what I paid grr..

The ability to flip the cam in any orientation is a HUGE plus.
On the downside the controls are a bit weird, but once you get used to it it is very easy.

This is the cheapest, most versatile way to do video, hands down.

Highly recommend it.

If you haven't seen, here's a vid I did, cam was used in <10 degree weather with a 90 mph windchill, or about -22 F, just about the worst possible conditions- http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18123

Thats decently clear but leave it to traxxas to jack up the price bigtime...

skellyo 01.30.2009 05:11 PM

I just ordered the GoPro camera from amazon. $184.61 and I should have it tomorrow. :intello:

Nice! Skellyo you owe us some good vids now!

Actually, I was doing my daily craigslist search for RC stuff, and this ad showed up today. Looks like it integrates a heads up display via glasses. Price tag is a whopper, but extremely cool if it actually works.

I sent this guy an email asking if I could see it in person since his ebay location is just 40 miles south of me.

JERRY2KONE 01.31.2009 09:04 PM

Wow
 
Wow now I can see it when we go to see a race. All the drivers involved in a vertual race, while we watch them in real time. That is going to look real strange with all of the actual racers wearing goggles. Nice system though. I like the idea of driving like you are actually in the car. It will make steering a little bit easier from my perspective.

BL_RV0 01.31.2009 09:18 PM

That would be pretty strange.

JThiessen 01.31.2009 11:26 PM

Here is the guys reply to my email. I'm not certain what he meant by the line of "not turn it on".....wonder if he's saying I cant actually see one in use?

I understand your interest. Also, only reason I have imported the kit from China is because I have faith in it. Least to say, one of the videos on youtube,from Switzeland, just bought my heart.
You are most welcome to swing by my Tukwila office and take a look at it. We did not turn the system on, as we do not want to get it dirty or something, esp on forehead pads. I consider this to be a personal use item.
So, let me know when to bring system along to my office. It'll work just fine, many videos on youtube don't lie. Of course, if we pick up on orders, price will be lowered. Takes me about 2 weeks to get them.
You are welcome to email me direct to XXXXXXXXX

Have a great weekend

Igor

...is it just me or did traxxas just rebadge some of these?

skellyo 02.01.2009 06:54 PM

Took a short video today:

That thing puts out some good quality video. Much better than I expected. Looking forward to seeing some bashing/racing vids from you now!

I plan to try and get some backflip footage this weekend. I'll probably also set up my other camcorder on a tripod so I can piece them together in a video to try and show the backflip from outside, then from on the truck.

JThiessen 02.02.2009 12:07 PM

I think some "chase truck" footage would be awesome.

I may have to try that. I just gotta get someone to drive one of my other trucks. It'd probably be my Slash since it's the only truck bound to a radio other than my M11 right now.
