The Seawolf is probably the best daylight camera out there, comparatively it's a bit expensive, the uncased version is here:

Also consider the Sony Effio 650tvl WDR cams as they're good too and probably better at night and cheaper too

why the need to go as high as £50

my cased WDR600 only costs £30ish

the reason I get the cased version is for ease of mounting, the case on the pixim however is massive in comparison and very heavy.

Money no object, I'd buy the pixim every time, but if I had £50 spare and I needed a new FPV cam, I'd get the WDR600 and have £20 to spend on another LiPo or 2 from hobbyking

Cheers guys - what's the best way to mount a cam that hasn't got a case. I like the look of that 650

[Cupid Stunt]

Not sure there is a best way, just mount however you can according to location and required angle
Thye have a hole at each corner if that helps

Does any one have the skills to cut me one of these from the dwg drawing???

They look like a cracking neat solution....

here you go.... http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12875__FPV_Fiberglass_Pan_Tilt_Camera_Mount_L_Size_.html

then you have pan/tilt if you want. I prefer just pan as I have no way to control the tilt (lost my head tracker cable for the predators)

[Dusty]

oh, and marcin is offering to cut things : https://fpv-forum.com/index.php?topic=2417.msg15541#msg15541

You don't need that complexity, just use a bit of corruplast (sp ? )

[Ant]

But I like it :-(

securitycam2000 also sells hard cases, you can cut the board down and fit it in the case, that way you have a mount and the board is protected.

I'd still go for the sea wolf though (if you can afford it)

i have the effio-p 700 tvl 2.8mm board cam on my new quad. If you want to see stock settings of that cam look on his crash video of my quad
