First HD Camera Specifically For Toothpicks & Whoops

[@DavidReynolds-kr6yh]

Nice close proximity flying with the plane and not a bad picture for such a tiny camera.

[@sixtofive]

It's great to see so much innovation happening in micros right now.

[@FilipRadelic]

I’m thrilled that someone finally listened and disappointed at the same time that fpv quality hasn’t changed in years. I hope we can have RunCam Hybrid style dual-lens setup with a board like this eventually. Yeah that would be heavier, but this isn’t exactly light anyway.

[@sprytnyfpvfreestyle5263]

A great idea. As soon as it is ready for sale, let me know. And even better if you get it in 4K.

[@RunCamFPV]

shop.runcam.com/runcam-split-3-micro-and-split-3-nano/ will be able to be shipped next week!

[@BornIIfly]

Great review, excited about the cam. Was thinking of gering the HX200 then put it in. Take care

[@DMarko22]

I like that! Nice that they improve the tiny parts.

[@archer4922]

Love my hx100 can’t wait till the 115 comes. And with a whoop style split that’s gonna be sweet!

[@lievenvv]

All old Splits have a menu setting to get the full 16x9 FOV in your goggles. They used to call it 'full screen' under TV-out settings, IIRC 👍 Also - on the old Split Mini's with the 8mm lens, you can use the lens from Foxeer Predator to get a really nice extra wide view. Might be worth a try here too

[@MrShutterBug]

Yeah, those things might help, but my goggles are 4:3 and I really don't like having a stretched image. Good 4:3 FPV cameras can have a view that is both wider and taller. Tradeoffs.

[@lievenvv]

@@MrShutterBug Yeah, on 4x3 goggles that doesn't work very well! The Predator lens may still give you both a taller+wider view - if the sensor size is the same as the old ones, then I really recommend trying it! I absolutely love proxy flying with it :) (careful though; there's some batches without infrared filters... 😑)

[@MrShutterBug]

@@lievenvv to be clear, are you talking about the lens for the Predator 4 Nano?

[@lievenvv]

@@MrShutterBugI _think_ it might indeed be the same one on the Predator Nano.. I meant the 8mm one from the various Predator Micro's 👍 Worked great on Split Mini!

[@1LittleTinker]

As ever, thanks again for another great video! Form factor of this cam is going in right direction :) they just need to sort the latency and the FOV, maybe a different lens is the way forwards for that but no doubt it would compromise the HD footage and there would be more editing work to make it right. I wonder also where the latency is, can it be fixed with faster processor etc

[@archer4922]

I’ve had to change my hx100 up a little. I put on the blue canopy and run the hq 65mm red props or the bright yellow gemfan 65mm props. I loose this thing too easily in y’all grass lol.

[@kaasovic]

Get me a version of ReelSteady GO that works on this and I’m sold on 2s. Would like to see an integrated frame design that sinks the top height lower and nestles in the battery tight.

[@MindRiderFPV]

And that’s what I’m waiting for. I like the video part.

[@stickboyfpv4742]

16 x 16 would be ideaal!!!

[@gadgetfriendly363]

Hell yea we need a 16x16 one for sure

[@theronin48]

Is it asking too much to have this on a brushless 65mm 2S with an R9M Mini? LR HD whoop goodness lol.

[@birdman316]

nice setup bro!

[@Clif_Brown]

Cool form factor but noticeable latency could be a deal-breaker for many I would think.

[@BRadFPV0227]

Looks great. But going by the split 3. I’m so used to flying with 160 degree FOV. there is no way I could drop back to 130b

[@MrShutterBug]

Yup. The FOV is the biggest drawbacks for me. I usually fly with a 1.8mm lens, or wider.

[@BRadFPV0227]

Mr ShutterBug couldn’t agree more. If they had a 1.8 lens I would be all over it for sure!

[@1979zeesh]

im new to FPV concept...so pardon me for that. at 3:12 you showed a split screen (FPV and HD) and the difference is tooo much. can you please explain what is the difference? is it like if i do FPV then i will get that quality but the recording will be in 1080p mode? which video tx/rx you used? ive Eachine VTX

[@antadroneur8370]

Great video thanks

[@jandomingo9806]

Ooooooohhhh thats something i been waiting for.

[@gnarlyblasterboys4123]

That build flies way nice(I built a tomoquads corsa which is similar) those standoffs will break very easily when crashed at the speeds the quad goes..... the hx 115 build needs to be crash tested ! I’ll crash test it for you and show you that it’s a fast great flier but one hit and your using m2 stand offs to repair.... this time your runcam hd board will probably get shredded.....

[@MrShutterBug]

Did you notice how my standoffs were white? I already replaced them once. But this is just a prototype. I have already given BetaFPV a lot of feedback about this drone, and they are making some changes. I'll reserve judgement until I see the final version.

[@gnarlyblasterboys4123]

I’m telling you they need to make brass standoffs or something. Tpu mount and solid bolt through might be good. Hard to explain .... wish you were in cali ....

[@155spy]

Where in the entire Google, Siri and Alexa World can I find a wiring diagram for this specific board ? Sheesh, I have had it stored away for about 3 years and now it’s time it gets used

[@MrShutterBug]

Hi. I made this video before the product was officially released, but I believe it was later known as the "Runcam Split 3 Lite". I found the manual for you. I think this is it: www.runcam.com/download/split-3-series/RC_Split3_Nano_Whoop_Manual_EN.pdf

[@155spy]

@@MrShutterBug To the rescue once again 🙌🏻 thank you so much. I really appreciate your effort and of course all your videos and thanks for Power Whoop stuff you do. I am the proud owner of not only your inspiration of the Beta85 2S Power Whoop, but I have a 3S 85 aswell as a 4S 95 and they never get left behind whenever I go somewhere to fly or even on holiday. Appreciation out of South Africa for you work.

[@155spy]

Sorted and working like a beast - Thanks Very Much

[@UFDACREW]

Would this work with the meteor65, watched your video on that review and you pretty much sold it to me. I would like the option for HD video. Would the meteor65 be able to handle the weight. Thank you.

[@MrShutterBug]

No. Every gram matters for a 65mm 1S whoop. If you want to carry a split HD camera then I would say 2” props + 2S batteries is the minimum (ie a “ShutterBug85 HD”) or for more power outdoors, maybe 3” 3S like the HX115 HD. Cheers!

[@masumoto007]

I just finished doing this, but using the mob6 board. I have to figure something out tho... voltage is dropping on the runcam board making the board turn off, comes back on tho when plugged in. I still get osd, think this board can't feed the hd board and camera🤔 It can fly, just don't hit lots of throttle🤣😂🤣camera cuts out 🤦‍♂️ Actually flies really nice even though it comes in at 31g. Betafpv 0802 19,500kv motors. Going to try the 0802 17,500kv motors first before i do anything else

[@UFDACREW]

@@masumoto007 Yeah man let me know what you find out. I would be interested to know.

[@masumoto007]

@@UFDACREW i swapped to the 0802 17,500kv.... now i can ride the battery all the way down to 3v flying.... it climbs back up to around 3.6v and im getting close to 3min. I figured it was the amp hungry motors after holding it in my hand and giving it throttle and watching the board cut out. Now i can do full throttle even till landing voltage and board doesn't cut out. It definitely feels slower, but i was never intending this to be big on performance with this weight. There some latency, but i can fly still... just don't go really fast😝 I thought perhaps a cap would help, but I'm seriously not trying to make this any heavier. I'm content with the performance, but for sure i could shed some weight with a different canopy.... the good thing about this betafpv canopy, props aren't in view👍👍even with low camera tilt👍👍

[@masumoto007]

@@MrShutterBug i use dom.v3 16x9 goggles, and when i change settings in the camera, i gain all that image that you 4x3 goggle's miss out on😝😝😝😝

[@MaddestGinger]

any tips on how to adjust the settings on the split 3 nano whoop ?

[@MrShutterBug]

I believe it used a little remote control just like with other fpv cameras, except the remote plugs into the DVR board not the camera.

[@ClintonEtheridgea]

Hi i know its an old video but what software do yo use to edit your videos?

[@MrShutterBug]

Davinchi Resolve

[@rotorrebel8300]

Nate does the feed have that fisheye effect card turtle?

[@MrShutterBug]

You can see examples of both the HD and the FPV in this video. Judge for yourself if you like how it looks. Cheers!

[@gonebdg]

Awesome ... still with 40ms latency on fpv feed i guess :)

[@MaddestGinger]

Mine did not come with joystick... How can I adjust settings... :(

[@timmytfpv7316]

Would this camera work on tiny hawk freestyle ?

[@MrShutterBug]

I can't say for sure. The FC in the tiny hawk freestyle is an unusual shape, and I don't have one.

[@ShinyVideoStuff]

No, make it smaller not larger! What about half size like a VTX so it sits behind the camera?

[@MrShutterBug]

Half the size would be amazing! But to be clear, this DVR board is NOT larger. It just has holes in different places, to match whoop flight controllers.

[@davidmdsk]

Nice to hear that there is going to be finally hole compatibility. However, I still think that it would be better to change 26mm pattern on whoop to 20mm pattern. To me it seams retarded to adjust PCB of DVR according to some plastic frame. Why not just design frame so that all patterns can fit (be it 20, 30, 26)? I do not get that. What is the benefit of 26mm pattern of the whoop, anyway? There are many carbon frames which are 20x20 pattern (thy only problem is they are too heavy). I would definitely appreciate frame with 20x20 pattern where I can use any camera a lot more than single camera at 26.

[@AgustinMolini]

Joshua Bardwell just released a video on the hx115 HD, why does his footage look a lot worse than yours?

[@MrShutterBug]

I thought his 3S footage looked OK early in the video, but his 4S footage later in the video has a lot of jello. Could be the props, or the tune, or loose camera? Hard to say.

[@transitionfpv6707]

Is for 5.8 googles or Dji googles

[@MrShutterBug]

This camera is for analog goggles, but it has a built in DVR that records HD video to a MicroSD card on the drone.

[@tbabajan]

I want to mount a drone camera on the under side of the brim of my helmet while falling timber, anybody wanna help steer me in the right direction??

[@MrShutterBug]

If you don’t need real-time FPV then you might just want a small action camera like the Insta360 GO or similar. Just a thought.

[@tbabajan]

@@MrShutterBug the Insta 360 only has a 30min run time and would be massive on my forehead. I’m wanting to protect the board up in the helmet with the camera just sticking below the brim if that makes sense. Even the runcam 5 is too big.

[@MrShutterBug]

@@tbabajan I see. A split camera and dvr would give you more control over the placement of components. Just be careful because the dvr boards can get pretty hot when they’re not flying around in the air.

[@tbabajan]

@@MrShutterBug Oooo thanks for that, definitely makes sense and hadn’t thought of it. Most of the cutting I do is in cooler weather which may help. Any camera recommendations??

I hate this hobby 🤣🤣🤣🤣
