You can get the RUNCAM HD here, i got mine with fast 4 days shipping to my doorstep via DHL:

1. RUNCAM HD:

2. The latest on is RUNCAM 2 HD, buts its too bulky and heavy for me:

yeah, my original plan was to buy runcam 2 and just use its wifi. but then i discovered the range was really poor .

You can't use Wifi to view the live video because not only is the range poor, but it also interferes with the 2.4ghz control of the aircraft resulting in dropouts and short range(2.4ghz and Wifi are the same frequency). It's the same case for any camera that has Wifi, it's not meant for FPV but to do things like positioning the camera at the preferred mounting spot in the case of aerial video. It is a really good camera though with the ability to do 1080p 60fps. 5.8ghz is recommended due to much longer range, smoother live video and different frequency.

Here's videos of my yesterday UAV fixed wing drone flight, long range autonomous mission task early in the morning. Equipped with RUNCAM HD and telemetry system:

Does Phantom 3/4 have Altitude restriction like what we have here in US/Canada?

i'm not planning for full FPV. just so i can see where the camera is pointing. plus, using the native wifi +app on the cam allows you to control certain function remotely. pretty nifty, in theory.

actually wifi does come in 5Ghz(IEEE802.1a/n) band. and in wifi frequency, 2.4Ghz has the better range and penetration. i still can't find the wifi spec for the runcam 2. so, i'll stick with the runcam + vtx idea.

yeap...my friend got the p3p and still limited to 500m altitude limit...

Darn guess no way of bypassing it
Planning to get p4 soon

Sharing video of my yesterday smooth morning flight flying around my local townies 18.6km round trip flown via planned mission autonomously. Great view and lots of stuff to see around:

awesome vid

Hi guys,

I have done some survey and really interested to take this up as my free time hobby. I checked out some shops and online store e.g. lazada, 11street etc and learn some brands and model of RC flying model.
I need some advice from experts here on which brand and model is best for beginner.
What I am looking into are some good camera for photo and video (Live feeds preferable as I am new hence visual view of camera is helpful on navigation) and good battery life, and durable. At this moment I am looking at Quadcopter and price range below RM300.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestion in advance
Cheers.

anyone play rc truck (maybe wrong thread)
so i wanna buy some truck to play near my apartment
i cant always flying my plane because my family, time and place
so if truck i can play behind my apartment while my kiddo play at playground

i wanna brought nitro truck (ade bunyi baru stim),
but my friend said, nitro hard to maintain, easy to rosak
if i want, buy petrol terus but no rm2.5k, no petrol truck

so, betul ka nitro hard to maintain, setting?

With such budget you mention the SYMA X8W seems to do the job but since its operated on WIFI will be slightly lag, just great enough for short distance:
Here the X8W: http://www.banggood.com/Syma-X8W-Explorers...F-p-977882.html

This one also good for smooth live video since its running 5.8ghz FPV: http://www.banggood.com/JXD-509G-JXD509G-5...-p-1001776.html




I used to own lots of fuel/nitro engine trucks and buggy but based on your above details and requirement i strongly against going to your choice but advice getting electric version of truck instead. Nitro truck/buggy/car is for those who go for racing competition for track size and with huge bulky wallet every weekend or serious racer. Here why base on my experience, you can see my truck photo below:

1. Yes, super expensive to maintain and time consuming. You'll need to prepare atleast RM500 per-month if you bash every week. Parts are definately broken or worn out on your first run. Worn out clutch disk, tire worn out, burned glow plugs, leaked dampers, broken "A" arm and list goes on. Every month bro... $$$ (3 digit maintenance)

2. If you buy a nitro fuel (RM90~150) and never use it for long time it will loose "punch" and remain useless once open. Store it proper place.

3. You'll need to spend extra RM300~500 on startup kit. Buying a nitro/buggr/car with radio alone isn't end of story. Starter tray, glow plug/ignitor, charger, car charger and etc....from 3 to 4 digit again.

4. Tyre will worn out in just 5 round around the cemented/tarmac parking lot if you like to punch/full throttle alot (bashing). A pair of front tyre for truck (eg: Proline brand) will cost RM150~200.....haven't count the rear yet.

5. 70% of your time playing your truck will be wasted on starting your engine (tuning carburator, pulling starter on and off). If you have no patient this will be constant hair pulling situation.

6. Noise and fumes will 100% irritate your wife and neighbours. All your house smells like its going to explode soon.

7. And if you don't service your nitro/fuel truck/buggy/car just like real vehicle the oil in the engine will sludge and develop gunk that will jam your engine every 10 cycle of playtime. You need to dismantle the whole engine to clean up and buy tools again. Usually more imminent on nitro fuel that uses castor oil

8. Nitro truck/buggy/car not suitable for straight line drag racing unlike electric car, over revving will burn the glow plug, worn out piston engine and damage your engine because it doesn't have gear box. Try to rev your real car on gear 1 and 2 during drag racing...see what happen...same applies to nitro r/c car model unless if it equipped with shifting gear box +++add extra digit to your wallet

At the end of the day with all the money spent and use to maintain it even just playing normally back yard you wish you have own a real TOYOTA SUPRA or imported supercar because its cheaper to do maintenance on it than nitro r/c truck. That's is why now i'm going electric.....btw if you're into flying model = $0 maintenance for whole year hehhehehehe...except if you crash it. Base on my local community observation nitro model owner are 98% have angry wife than electric modeler. Seen and experience lots of stuff thought year of R/C career.

bro
just watch your eagle 3 desert
actually that truck/buggy i really like it
wana go to drc toys buy it
got money but still berbelah bagi wanna get or not

at drc rm390 + rm50 for extra battery

keep it stock and well serviced....nitro is fine....keeping a lipo battery in good shape also quite troublesome...

nitro engine need glow plug cleaning,u need starter motor device and glow plug heater (for start up)...but to me nitro more stim than battery....u will never regret em...

i play nitro plane
but engine no need maintain to much
because its fly i guess, no dirt

Desert eagle is a great truck if you interested in driving over obstacles drive it like "camel throphy style" over hills, rocks or scaling drive. But if you wanted to bash of flying of the ramp maybe you should look for others. Btw i did put blog review on Desert Eagle maybe you should read it first here at my webpage:
http://www.supermotoxl.com/News-Reviews/Ne.../menu-id-4.html

Since i work daily and don't have commitment for bigger models during work hours usually i bring my 1/24 subotech for bashing around the park. Though little guy:

However if you wanted to save money and race nitro R/C online, try this one. Here video of me racing with my friend before going to bed:

Only during the day we play nitro:

not bashing or racing
more like 'adventure' style with fpv
behind my apartment got tanah lapang with rock and semak
so wanna drive over it
but u know, that eagle 3 not water resistant
