Idea.have no idea how to do it though

[n00b@FPV]

hi there
i have an idea but have know idea how to put it into reallity

so its basicly a sd card record for inside your plane

so its a board that goes between the camera and the vtx.it is powered by the vtx
there is a simple on/off swich for recording
all video is recorded to either sd or mini sd

any ideas

I've wondered about getting a keychain camera adapted for this - to record the FPV camera signal rather than it's own camera signal - not sure if that is possible but as it has the card slot etc already there it might be a way to go about this.

Yeah sounds like a gap in the market for such a product.

[n00b@FPV]

that's an idea rick but how would you get it to the vtx??

I think you could convert a key chain cam, as long as you can find the cameras output and jump onto it with the right signal its possible

I bought one of these with the expectation of installing it in my ground station to automatically record/log all flights. So in the event that the model is lost I can at least see that last known position and surrounding area from the downlink video.

Unfortunately the firmware of the device is full of bugs; typical Chinese software job. Check out the "FoxTech SD recorder bug #" videos that I made to show the manufacturer the bugs. http://www.youtube.com/my_videos

By the way, the most scary thing is that on occasions the video will lock or not pass through to the output of the device. With this in mind even if another device appears to work correctly I will not risk passing the video through it. Just use a splitter and parallel it with the VTX.

I will probably buy this one for my ground station and it is small enough to go on the model too: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/mini-dvr-2-helmet-camera.html  The description says "Switch it to the record position and the unit turns on and starts recording in less than 5 seconds.".
