I'm a noob to the UAV world. I have a GoPro Hero 4, but I don't really want to use it on the quad as I'm still learning and the risk of a crash is higher, and it seems like not the best choice anyway. I would like a good quality HD camera that I will dedicate to the quad(s), but at this point it doesn't need to be a high end 4K, etc. What is the best choice of camera for my situation? Thanks! • Posts: 3,288 Threads: 129 Likes Received: 2,740 in 1,644 posts Likes Given: 2,969 Joined: Apr 2017 Reputation: 65 The Runcam Split 2 seems to be what you are looking for, mostly. So it only records in 1080, but it seems to be a weight saver and is definitely more compact than having two cameras. After watching a number of videos recorded using one, it seems like it does a pretty nice job! Are you set on having a dedicated second cam for your flight vids? SoCal Kaity :D OMG, no one told me it would be this much fun!

Thanks, no...not set on 2 cams if the one cam can provide good vid for now. Later I will be looking for high quality video, but for now just a nice video that is decent. And frankly if there is a product out there than can provide high quality video in a single camera, I will be good with that. EDIT: I just watched some video on YT, and I think you hit the nail on the head with this one kaitylynn.....so thanks again! I need to put you on retainer, you have been very helpful.... :-) • Posts: 3,288 Threads: 129 Likes Received: 2,740 in 1,644 posts Likes Given: 2,969 Joined: Apr 2017 Reputation: 65 Here is the video that really brought this cam system forward as my next build will be based on the frame she used. The video is mostly about the overall quad itself, but it is an example of the original Split's abilities. There is a second video where she utilizes the V2 Split.

In your OP, you mentioned quad(s).
