Hi everyone. Here is my first rookie video taken from a turnigy keychain camera that was strapped on to my custom built 550mm quadrocopter.  Wink



My setup:
Motors - AX380N 1200Kv
ESC - Turnigy Plush 18A
Battery - Turnigy 2200mAh, 20c discharge rate
FC - KK2 board flashed with v1.5 firmware
Arms - 12mmx12mmx0.8mm cross-section aluminum extrusion
Centre-plate - 5mm thick polycarbonate sheet
Landing gear - Hiller 500 Heli Skids with aluminum rod
Camera - Turnigy keychain cam (of course!!!)  Grin

Any suggestions/remarks would be appreciated!  Thumbs Up

PS - I am very grateful to Adiboy for sourcing the FC, the complete power system and the Camera at a great price & sincerely thankful to Ashta sir for helping me figure out some anomalies over phone.
 Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off

I have already gone through that sir. In fact, the whole tuning and setup was done by referring the diydrones arducopter page. Will give it another try and call you at a suitable time. Thank you sir.

Thanks Dharmik bhai!
This is the 420TVL sony camera that i bought from Quadkopters.
Quality is good when connected to a TV/Monitor but once i start recording, the quality goes down....
The USBDVR seems to be the culprit here.
Planning to upgrade to HD cam/GoPro soon...  Grin
