Sport Cameras

...looking good in HD

I chanced today to look over some of the very first videos I ever uploaded and was rather appalled at the quality. The camera in question was a 720p RD32 Wing Camera, although I think the abject quality also had something to do with how they were processed.

The mornings are also a challenging time for mini cameras, with the relatively low light and sharp contrasts proving a daunting challenge for the mini processors and small lenses. My new camera, a 1080p Mobius Action Camera, delivers very good quality footage, although it hasn't been brilliant in low light conditions. 

However I've lately given it a software update (imagine saying that twenty years ago) which seems to have improved it considerably, with the "large range" setting allowing it to cope with varied light conditions, like the morning flights, much better.

The clarity of the Mobius footage really is excellent, even more so given its tiny size; it literally embarrasses my earliest efforts.

So, here's to mini HD cameras and clever software...

Mobuis ActionCam

...an impressive little guy

Following my chequered history with mobile cameras, the last RD32 having broken its CCD when falling from a tree, I've taken a deep breath and invested in a Mobius ActionCam.

Being of a more integrated construction than the RD32, having the lens incorporated into the casing, it should be more robust than the previous incumbent and, being full HD (1080P compared to 720P), better quality video as well.



My Mobius had it first outing recently, on a gorgeous sunny afternoon providing perfect weather for demonstrating its capabilities. I took video of the Radjet getting a bit of exercise, and the footage is very impressive with excellent clarity and lovely colours.

I am looking forward to hooking the Mobius up for a high-speed ride, probably on the Radjet for starters being the largest and most stable of my buzzies. That should be fun to watch...
