Deskpilot Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I hope this is the correct page to be posting but here goes. I want to build-in a micro camera at the top of the fin on my Thruster, rather than have drag and installation/removal problems of a Go-Pro or similar camera. Can anyone recommend a suitable, tried and tested camera of the lipstick type, or even just a remote lens/sensor fitting? I saw a minute one years ago which had a fabulous resolution and was less than the size of my thumb-nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I wonder how hard it would be to deconstruct a go pro or if you could just get the camera part and mount the rest remotely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hihosland Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Go pro "Session" about 3cm cubed could well fit the bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskpilot Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks guys. Might look into a dash cam type and deconstruct it. Go Pro's are WAAY too expensive for my needs and pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I wonder how hard it would be to find a late model phone that was wrecked and salvage the camera out of it? I would trust the optics and quality of a phone camera over a cheap dashcam. I have next to no technical knowledge of what is needed to make the camera work, maybe the extra bits needed may make it uneconomical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Much simpler to buy a reversing camera, not ultra-small but light-weight for your CG, & cheap as chips on eBay. And is 12volt spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have one of these keytag cameras. The Upload a file button will not accept .WMV files, so here is a still frame from a video I did with the camera blu-tac'ed to the car dashboard. There are sample videos on youtube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
