RunCam5 4K FPV Camera 1080P HD Micro Action Camera EIS Supported 145 Degree FOV for FPV Racing Drone and Sport Video Recording, Orange

Since GoPro decided to drop the Session action cam, the RunCam 5 Orange is the closest thing I have found to the performance, in the exact same form factor (that I already had Session mounts for). I am very happy with the picture quality and I've had no issues with the recordings or file access.It has no display screen, so you configure it with the RunCam app on your phone or tablet, by pointing the camera at a QR code. Configuring the camera is quicker and easier this way for me, especially outside in bright sunlight. The camera seems rugged; I mount it on my FPV drone and it has survived dozens of crashes so far.My only complaint is that the EIS is not very good IMO, but that was not a deal breaker for my application, so I usually just leave it off.

For those of you wanting to know how well this camera works for RC, I am happy to report that this Camera works perfect for the TRX 4M. The image quality is amazing and has really good image stabilization as well. I tried it out for the SCX24 as well but it is a little too heavy for it and causes it to be a bit unstable on the trail. Overall I would recommend this camera!

Shoots almost as good as a GoPro Session. The interface and such could be better. QRcode setup is feature lacking although easy. A nice battery life readout would help. The battery life is short. The picture is decent and it handles G force really well. Better than my GoPro 7 actually, and stays recording when it crashes at 100+mph and has held up so far. By screen protectors and put in in a urethane sleeve or case. You can probably toss it off a building that way safely. I use it to capture HD footage on a freestyle drone and it does well for its size and money. For options on this size still available on the market it may be the best value.

I watched a few YouTube videos on this camera and had to try one. I love using this on my RC car. It's Pretty Awesome!!! Nothing Fancy with this camera..... It's Just Super Rad!!!!

DONT BUY CHEAP - buy quality. THIS IS NOT QUALITYGreat CAM, great image - pretty straight forward setup - used a HANDFULL of times...not every day - maybe 30-40 times tops.... and now its out of warranty (purchased Aug 2021) it will not charge when you insert a known working cable..Customer Support don't want to know - said "We provide 90-day replacement and one-year repairing.But I am sorry that the warranty has been expired for this camera.Sir may disassemble the camera to check if the battery swells or leaks.We could sell the battery separately"It will not take a charge as the USB port contacts are not working!!

Just what I needed for rc airplane videos! Slight curve to figure out for me but I am 45 so tech is passing me by already lol. Hi vis orange and light weight sold me on it!

I just tested the camera today by taking a one minute video in each of the frame rate and bit rate settings. I set it to High quality. I then checked each video file on my Windows 10 computer by right clicking the file and checking the properties...click the Details tab. The bit rate in each file was well below what is advertised. For example, the manual says 1080p at 60 fps will capture detail at 45 mbps. It actually only captures at a rate of 26 mbps, much less detail which will provide a much worse video. The manual says 4k at 30 fps will capture detail at 60 mbps which would be a good quality video. However, in reality it only captures at 48 mbps...not bad but not nearly as clear and crisp as as 60 mbps. For the $115 I paid, I find that quality acceptable, however, you can pay less if you buy directly from RunCam.

Wow! I love this little fpv cam! I will be buying another if mine ever dies or gets trashed but you know what?!?!? I can't kill this thing lol..... I have nailed this sucker to trees, cement walls, hard ground, grass, dirt, myself.... and it survived everything. I will admit, one of my very very nasty crashes, (motor busted 4 screws and chopped it's own frame midflight), this sucker came tumbling down out of the sky from about 300 feet up and it survived. Believe it or not my SD Card inside the thing actually cracked in half yet the camera is still perfectly fine. That was unbelievable. I don't even know how that was possible but the camera still works perfectly. This thing is a beast!!!!! BTW great video quality also. I get compliments on my video quality all the time from this cam. Can't go wrong here, worth every penny.
