Woody said:If you aren't happy with the quality of the FC40 camera (I wasn't) you can sell it on eBay for more than the extra $20 it cost you over the cost of a Phantom 1.1.1. They sell new for $69 and up on eBay.
Of course without a gimbal, video will still look shaky no matter what camera you use. But for still photos the FC40 with a hard mounted GoPro is a good set-up. I use the GoPro quick release buckle with an extended J mount to lower the camera out and away from the props and legs.
Wedeliver said:I don't see any cables leaving the gopro. Are there? Do you have a view from the camera to line up your shots? Of course you do. How does it work, if you don't mind me asking. I am dumb as a rock but I can learn.
There is no audio recording on the FC40 camera. Don't know what the hole is for.JohnT2 said:Also a newbie is the FC40 camera supposed to record sound or is the holes that look like a mic actually just a vent?
