Runcam don't love me any more (and other news)

[@RunCamFPV]

We always love you, Bruce!!!! Thumb will be arranged as soon as it's back in stock! The RunCam 5 orange you have is already built in gyro, so it works with Gyroflow already. But GF updated a lot recently, we need to release a new firmware to make the runcam 5 orange work again with GF. I will keep you posted about the new firmware! Hope to hear back from you soon via email! Sorry for the delay!

[@TheMadmacs]

runcam rules!

[@Clynikal]

Solid catch Runcam!

[@MadRC]

Great to hear Runcam getting you one now. Since I changed direction slightly and been clear with my review rules and what I am willing and not willing to do I have also found many company’s have just gone silent on me. I look forward to seeing what Bruce has to say as Runcam generally make a good product overall. Especially compared to CaddX right now who are less than Stella to say the least. The editing is so painful on time but it is what it is. That will be a good card. We love Bruce, long live Bruce and RC Model reviews.

You the best knowledge man I have ever listen to , and I think everyone enjoy your videos

[@stefano8936]

That happens when you don't attend university

[@Desert-edDave]

@@stefano8936 Don't assume that attending a university makes you any more 'educated' than others... Indoctrinated, yes. Educated, not necessarily. Especially today, there is a multitude of stupid kids with very expensive pieces of paper and little but a pretentious sense of entitlement to go with it (and maybe some laughable debt). "The wise man knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks he knows all."

[@mrlintonious]

I am used the news on being on XJet, and Model info and Reviews on RCModelReviews. Keep it up. Way back, RCModelReviews helped me to understand how to wire up and connect an ESC, Servo's and Receiver, and to setup my Turnigy TX, to fly my first RC Plane. That set my fountation for what I know know. Thanx for that Bruce.

[@wrstew1272]

Bruce- you have a fantastic knowledge base, and I am one old man who really appreciates your generosity in making these videos.

[@jb4688]

That's a no-brainer...put the news here and keep the unadulterated fun...fun...the xjet channel provides the last vestige of what was and hope will remain a great hobby!...cheers and good health Bruce!

[@matthewcoleman8267]

I love your honesty as much as the content on your excellent channel.

[@joecaraco7503]

I think the newsy content ought to be on "RC Model Reviews " but will continue to watch where ever you post. You are the only person on KZbin that I support with Patreon and those of you who watch Bruce and can afford to, should as well.

[@MacVision3D]

Yes Bruce live would be brilliant.....You know you will get all the support from us

[@alexj3709]

Lots of people on YT do reviews and the audience is restricted to enthusiasts who may want to hear about new products. Your reviews are valuable in that group because we can rely on you to give a honest, warts and all opinion. But getting well informed, accurate, clearly explained technical information is much harder to find. Your teaching vids cover topics much wider than encountered in the hobby. And they get used as a reference over and over, hence they become a vaulable asset and will continue to be viewed over time. Big thank you for all you do, it is greatly appreciated!

[@charlesmorgan5267]

been watching you for years, thank you for all your time, great work please keep it going.

[@brightnovastar]

You may not have 2 million subscribers... but you sir are the greatest rc reviewer... you are the reason I am in this hobby. I wish you nothing but the best.

[@gryfandjane]

I’m a long-time fan and subscriber, and greatly enjoy ANY content you post. And I’ll second the opinion of others and say that your tech instruction episodes are truly first-class. Bravo, and keep up the excellent work. It’s really appreciated!

[@SavagerobFPV]

It all sounds very interesting, I think the news and Information is probably best on this channel, and XJET left for the fun and banter and the odd rant. All the same keep up the good work/fight ;) Thanks

[@runforitman]

I always find it very interesting when youtubers actually talk about their earnings and how it works.

[@OZSCQUADS]

because we all like the way you teach. wish there was more of it.

[@iforce2d]

It's very simple Bruce. You need to stream yourself playing Minecraft with a face-cam on Twitch and act over-excited about every little thing that happens. Play up the 'old-fella' angle and being a newbie at everything. A steady stream of your trademark wise-cracks will keep the audience engaged, young and old. This lets you generate x minutes of video from every x minutes of work, with no editing required. Then with no further work you can put the vods on KZbin and monetize them, cha-ching!

[@iforce2d]

I wrote that as a joke but then I realized I would probably watch the hell out of that :)

[@lobofpv8722]

Bruce you are a valuable asset for me as well as the hobby in general. I really appreciate your content and look forward to new content. I would say that the 'News' content belongs on RCMR. I have a buddy up in Whidbey Island, WA that is not very happy about the new regs. Bravo Zulu, Bruce

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Thank you for being honest about what you do and how you run your channel. I think I'd prefer the news type content on this channel more.

[@mikehunt5468]

Good on you . Share the knowledge. Legend. Your worth every penny

[@GeneralLee131]

Funny enough, I discovered your channel when you were doing the whiteboard explanations of things. It very well may have been Ohms law or antenna theory when I was studying such things for an Avixa certification. Been hooked ever since. You're just a pleasant and likable guy. Honest and unbiased too; a key factor in who I follow on social media these days. Even though I don't get to play RC anymore due to changes in circumstances in my life, I still like to stop in and enjoy seeing you do your thing.

[@billflynn6903]

Thanks, Bruce for basically giving us this channel for Free!. It makes sense to look to the other sources to help fund the fun things we here in the World, also, enjoy. Your explanation on those videos most viewed were eye-opening and meaningful to anyone in this for a Biz.

[@SeaSide420]

Nice 1 My runcam was submerged in a lake for a while, retreived, dried and years later still works perfectly.

[@paulinfrance5]

It's a shame that youtube have got soooo Greedy,,, I am watching less and less like radio and TV it's all publicity, it's a good job people like you are still here Bruce.

[@MadRC]

Long live Bruce and RC a model Reviews. I literally would not be in the hobby again without this man. You you can blame him and I don’t deserve the kindness. It is soul destroying looking at the numbers on reviews on YT. I’ll be honest this is why I have drastically reduced the reviews I am doing. I love to do it but the payback is just not there. Since I have also been more vocal on things I have noticed my inbox go quiet. It is what it is. I think me and you Bruce are the only ones really talking about the money aspect in the FPV creator space but it’s importance conversations that need to be had. To be fair Runcam make some great products to be fair. Look forward to the review for sure. Outstanding as always.

[@SimpleElectronics]

I think the news works best on this channel - also your videos are not only the BEST drone/model videos, they are the only ones I can stand aside from experimental stuff (RCTestFlight and RCLifeOn) Keep up the good work Bruce!

[@flyboy5736]

I enjoy Bruce’s videos, good information delivered in an honest and knowledgeable way. As a consumer of KZbin videos I honestly don’t care how much content makers earn. If they don’t earn enough don’t whinge to me find another income source. Bruce doesn’t complain just tells us as it is. Good fortune to you Bruce and thanks for your efforts.

[@hectorgreen5638]

Hey bruce 5 years ago I got into vpv you taught me how to make my first quad so I have a lot of respect for you but not just because of that but because you are one of the most honest person I've come to know over the years since I've been watching you on KZbin thanks mate.

[@CrazyOregonBeaver]

And thank you for all you do to help the community.

[@SamFugarino]

I liked your Ohm's Law video. And I particularly like your fixed winged stuff. I got into RC late and due to circumstances can't fly now, but I've learned a lot from your channel. Watch your other channel too. New Zealand should be paying you. Place is beautiful.

[@tomc1380]

I love your views and reviews. I’d probably prefer news and reviews together and/or maybe combine both channels.

[@dougcaffrey5067]

Hi Bruce, I really enjoy both your channels. I think of Xjet as the fun channel and rcmodeleviews as the more informative channel. Based on that I think news better fits rcmodelreviews. But it's all up to you. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into thes videos. And it's great that you are sharing your extensive knowledge on all things related tot he hobby. Take care and keep up the good work!

[@ChongMcBong]

keep up the good work Bruce, i have learned lots of useful stuff from your videos over the years :)

[@davidreynolds8551]

I’m happy to say that I watched the whole video, and possibly made you an extra .0001 cent lol. I like your informative videos, even when they might go a bit over my head.

[@robertyoung534]

Keep doing what your doing bud I'm learning a lot from you

[@AEROERGO]

Hi Bruce. This channel seems to fit better for news. IMHO. I love your workbench videos and I hope someday spread all I learn from you to my audience too, mostly for the ones who didn't speak English

[@pnwRC.]

14:30, That sir, is the reason why I'm interested in the 3D printing of drones! IF there is NO paperwork trail for it, they DON'T know about it. I DON'T reside in an area near an airport, or it's flight path(s). I DON'T feel it's anyone's business what, when, or how I use my drone, so long as I'm NOT dangerously interacting with aircraft while flying the drone! The level of governmental overreach has become very intrusive & excessive lately!

[@Desert-edDave]

Even if you don't print your own frames, there's still no reason for any government agency to know about your drone(s). :D I agree with you. It's none of the government's business what we do if we're not endangering anyone or property. Screw the FAA (regulating body where I am).

[@pnwRC.]

@@Desert-edDave FAA here too, PLUS Washington State gov

[@flyingweed9671]

I think the entertainment and rants should be on Xjet. News reviews and white board technical stuff, on RC Model Reviews. Most important is that you keep the content coming.

[@bobasher2046]

I watch xjet for flying videos, rcmodelreviews for information therefore I would prefer any news here.

[@olsonspeed]

Having made videos for KZbin I completely agree that it is labor intensive and time consuming. Just say NO to state registration of R/C.

[@AndyRCchannel]

Runcam hasn't sent me anything for ages either..I think it's because the thumb camera is a bit rubbish and me and you would say that haha. Looking forward to the camera stuff on xjet. Need to up my game there. I'm subbed to both channels so it doesn't matter to me where it ends up

[@fitchyyboi]

Andy- I like how the footage of the thumb looks especially for the price and am considering buying one (I am like you, budget means a lot to me.) What's your gripe with it? Genuinely just interested!

[@bulldogboy100]

Another top class video

[@typxxilps]

I watched this one after being 4 weeks away due to 'runcam don't love me' title and it was fun to watch that it is more or less a different story than the title let me believe. Runcam seems to be back based on the pinned comment and the background info about Ohms law and its revenue stream that still is going on is another point that stoods for your openess and honesty. Good to know that runcam is still your first choice - cause value point is what matters to me in 90% of my use cases and just in 10% I tend to go for the best like dji drones at least till 2021.

[@richiebricker]

I dont think i need to watch your E=IxR video but I have watched your Antennae theory video and thought it Great! You make for a very good Teacher. I think you should run regular news stuff on both channels and maybe keep the more hardcore stuff on xjet

I feel your pain. My most recent video took me almost 2 months to produce, and yet hardly anyone watched it 😩 It's the painful reality of being a KZbinr, there's no guaranteed pay check. That said though, I enjoy making videos, so even if noone watches them I have fun along the way :)

I am studying for my part 107 now and apparently, will be registering with multiple governing bodies to fly legally. Disappointed no doubt, but thanks for the info 🤙

[@belperflyer7419]

I've been watching some KZbin videos called 'Kathy Loves Physics and History'. She does talks/lectures on the history and origins of electrical discoveries etc eg 3 phase transmission or ac versus dc power transmission. One of her videos was also on Ohms Law and how it was discovered and, amazingly how it was denigrated at the time. Worth a watch to bolster Bruce's profitable Ohm's Law video :) I haven't watched Bruce's video mainly because my Dad taught me Ohm's Law on a long car journey when I was about 12 70 years ago. I think news is more suited to this channel rather than Xjet, for what it's worth.

Thanks for all you do Bruce. Just wondering if you watched the last court video from the RDQ vs FAA? It is really important. A government employee swore under oath that we already meet all the criteria of remote ID. She stated very clearly, as other FAA representatives have also done, that Remote ID is the same as a license plate. Yes, a static material with absolutely no transmitting or receiving capability displaying a written number. This is wonderful, just a magic marker is all you need to comply. Or did they commit perjury and perhaps conspiracy to commit fraud?🤔😂😂

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I like both your Channels Bruce but I watch Xjet more I guess, I usually watch during meal breaks as I've just done with this one over breakfast (it actually helps with digestion!). Now I'm wondering what's coming up that's game changing? Could it be a 'new' rubber power source 🤔😁

[@peteengard9966]

I really enjoy your videos. You used to do a weekly news video. How about another chanel with a once a month publication called RC news from the other side? Meaning that you're on the lower half of the world from what I would imagine most of your viewers are north of you.

Thanks for the insight that is a good point regarding the longevity of videos and view income. If I had a channel that'd drive me nuts on what to bother recording and editing etc. Ohms Law, RF. Hmm what other whiteboard sessions could you do...

[@muntee33]

Can U please do a video on fpv TX safety? Seems a bit concerning people are sticking transmitting antennas on their face without considering the possible health implications. Especially with some relatively high power transmitters and/or long range tx. Chur bro✌️😄 Can people use cables (and supporting hardware/ upgrades) to place the antennas away from the body? Or can low power, 'repeater antennas' be used on fpv goggles with higher power transmitting antennas on a pole, or ground/base station? (If any inherent latency in such a system does not become a critical concern) On a side note: I am very interested in developing an FPV setup that can effectively trick the mind into momentarily believing the experience is real. (To go to a remote area, away from any flight paths and such, and live out my dream of cloud surfing in a fast jet.) In particular, VR/AR goggles with a fov/dov that surpasses our natural ranges, + near photorealistic capabilities for any augmented imagery. (+ head tracking system for the gimbal mount of a super low latency,
