Title: Any cheaper alternative than the Gopro
Post by: Rahulvyas on March 28, 2013, 04:15:34 PM
Guys,

was looking for a decent camera and found sony nex3 and nex5k.
I need a camera for around 13k with full HD and  smooth video recording.

Any suggestions?

Check eBay.  Lots of cheaper options are listed.  Search Full HD keychain camera.  Even a $45 720p wide angle Lens D I got last month is readuly available. The seller eletoponline365 is reliable.  Here is a sample video:

HD19 ExplorerHD Full HD 1080p FPV Video Camera (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__32024__HD19_ExplorerHD_Full_HD_1080p_FPV_Video_Camera_with_Integral_Recorder.html) is a good alternative to gopro, I've see it in action, video quality is very good. Search for comparison video on youtube.

Great cam, you do FPV right? Is it difficult?
Did you make a gimbal for it?
Title: Re: Any cheaper alternative than the Gopro
Post by: Dharmik on March 30, 2013, 11:01:04 PM
Yeah bro it's difficult. Need practice, concentration and open place. My both cams are fixed no gimbal used.
