Wednesday - iPhone 4 FPV camera

  Hello and welcome to swashblade RC. I have some bad news today, due to severe wether conditions it was impossible to fly. It was really windy, there is a slight hop for snow tomorrow, which means snow flying!

  Well, today im going to talk about fpv systems, just about any small camera can be tapped to an RC car and be used as an FPV recording system. Here I used Duct tape to mount an iPhone on my Tamiya ta02. Whats great about the iPhone 4 being used as a FPV recording systems is it has both forward and backwards facing cameras.

  The setup is quite simple, just take off the body and mount the iPhone on the rear end hook, tape the bottom with double sided duct tape and run a piece from the part to another piece of the car.

   Observe the results:
