Have been experiencing some camera dropouts where the Phantom's own camera freezes in mid flight.This happened before and after the latest firmware upgrade.
Anyways, that started me preparing for the eventuality that I may soon be without a reliable camera one day...
So I decided to experiment with a very small Full HD action camera: the Blackvue SC500. It's even smaller than the GoPro!
I mounted it with Velcro right behind the other camera, as close to the center of gravity as possible.
I can have it face backwards or perfectly downwards, which is not really possible with the Vision camera.
A short test flight revealed that it has real potential. It made the Phantom slowly rotate though which might indicate that it was not perfectly centered. It might also shorten the endurance a bit...
