RunCam Thumb 2 v Thumb Pro v1 Camera Test Yorkshire Countryside Drone (2024)

The RunCam Thumb 2 is a defo Thumbs up from me, its is a very able and true to life camera, a good few improvements on the earlier Thumb Pro version, mainly better resolution, now 4k at 60fps and much sharper than the previous camera (at 4k); the Auto White Black setting works really well, although not perfect it is much better than others i`ve used with a much more finely graduated range helping it achieve more stable colours. The WDR wide dynamic range works nicely too.
The Runcam Thumb Pro is still great especially for lightweight quads, and a fair price at ten quid less than the new version !
Considering its low price, this is a fantastic small bit of camera kit , prob the best out there for under £100, i`m content with the purchase, value, quality and light weight.
Filmed Near Halifax , Yorkshire UK Late Sept 2024

Great video ! How did you stabilised the footages of the thumb 2 with Gyroflow ? Did you create your own thumb 2 lens profile ?Thanks

[@spaceportseven]

Cheers man 🛸 just the same settings , though there's still a bit a curvature with the stock thumcam pro v1 lens setting in gyro, though as you can see it works alright Think the new v2 has a better gyro in the camera, it's more stable and easier to do a good gyroflow

Hi, Yes very good Thumb 2 but jelo with Pro Bro

[@spaceportseven]

Yeah too true, that body on the pro version is flimsy and doesn't hold the lens secure enough , on a day without wind though it's alright and jello free. The new one has sorted that issue alright 😁

Sky looks much better on the v1

[@spaceportseven]

@@TorontoFPV for me too, i like the field with a better green on the v1 too though it might be white black settings , been out testing the camera again today, overall the v2 is very good, though not perfect yet . The RC18g lens on the v1 helped with the improved colours

@@spaceportseven there's a Short I posted called falling for you. You can see it. It was with the runcam Pro wide. If you shoot with it at golden hour it looks phenomenal. I just found there were too many micro jitters but if it looked like that without the jitters to me, it'd be good enough for professional work

[@spaceportseven]

@@TorontoFPV thanks, yeah i see the micro jitters in that, nice video and dive though ! The v2 is similar but without the jitters, totally fluid on this now . Toronto looks amazing man !!

@@spaceportseven thanks bud. If you're ever in Toronto let me know and we'll go fly. Tell me more about yourself? What's your favorite setup? I enjoy interviewing pilots from around the world that are into fpv. Let me know when you're usually free where you live in your time zone Or just figure out the time difference from EST. We can hang out, get to know each other talk about fpv stuff.
