#16 Keychain Camera with wide angle lens

[bigMouse]

Even the still shots on that camera are respectable.

forgot to ask.... does the lens have to be focused on infinity for use when attached to aerial vehicle??

[Cupid Stunt]

It's recomended to check the focus but I didn't with mine
The wide angle lens and small sensor will give a large depth of field anyway

[bigMouse]

It's fixed focus! The only thing you need to ensure is that the battery don't go flat when your flying.   The built in battery is not very good on mine, but you can supply it externally so no problem.

cam arrived today...... still unable to get my scratch build flying as I am still waiting on parts..... (prop adapters).
I have used channel 6 on my Hitec RX unit... so, how would I go about using the TX to power on the cam this way???

[Cupid Stunt]

You cannot control the camera from your TX, it just get's it's 5v power from a spare channel on your receiver, invaluable for FPV as the batteries can last as little as 20 minutes otherwise

[davyg]

Ah Righto.... just plug in and the use the cam power on button...

just to check before ordering is this the narrowest view lens they have?

[Cupid Stunt]

Yes it is

[bigMouse]

Just take a guess, it's not shown anywhere on the eletoponline365 shop.

Chuck Lohr's website has his description as "horizontal FOV" as:

Lens A 52 deg
Lens B 60 deg
Lens D 90 deg

http://www.chucklohr.com/808/C16/index.html

But shortly down the page is contradicts with:

Lens A 70 deg
Lens B ?
Lens D 120 deg

Best bet is to look at his lens comparision video here.
Seems very little difference between A & B
