41. Best cam for FPVracing

    Posted by Paul LEMEILLE on 13th Jun 2016

    Very good picture, small and lightweight. The best

42. Good little camera

    Posted by GJ on 11th Jun 2016

    I bought this camera for FPV to save some weight compared to my Gopro 3 black.
    Great picture considering the price difference. Shipping was quick to Australia (7days!)
    Quite happy with this purchase.
    If the PAL output gets corrected in a future firmware update to 25/50fps it would deserve that fifth star.

43. Great little camera

    Posted by Kingsley Neumann on 2nd May 2016

    I wanted a small, easily mounted camera for Air to Ground Photography. This one is very good and I am glad I ordered the optional mounting system. The iPhone App works well for set up. You must ensure the battery in the camera is fully charged for the WiFi.

44. it's awesome

    It is tough, does a nice video, great for racing drones.

45. Very good product.

    Posted by Lionel on 23rd Apr 2016

    I use the RunCam 2 to take videos of my son while we play outside together. The image quality is great and the sound is not bad at al. My only gripes are the battery life is rather short, and that there is no separate charger for the batteries. That said, if you plan in advance you can change batteries on the fly so it's not that big of an issue for me.
    
    Very solid product.

46. RunCam 2 Orange

    Posted by Edgeworth FPV on 8th Apr 2016

    I brought the Runcam2 as a replacement for the Mobius that cooked itself after a mediocre crash on my Quadcopter. I like the lens protector and the robust construction of the Runcam and the bold colour that is easy to find when the camera is crash ejected. The SD card is also locked in behind a snug rear compartment door so it isn't thrown away in a crash as well. Picture quality is very good and is on par with other better Action cameras. The Runcam2 feels sturdy in your hand and will run on 4s (if you want to remove the battery) and use the separate power wire. I have not used the Wi-Fi function. It is a very good camera for FPV (you could even use it as your flight camera to as the latency is minuscule).

47. Great little user-friendly camera

    Posted by Niels on 3rd Apr 2016

    I got this camera because I was disapointed in a similar form factor camera ( from another manufacturer). It has a great wide angle view and the best thing is that you can use the App on your Android or IOS device to view what is seen by the camera in realtime. Connecting over WiFi is done very easily and in comparison with other 2 button only camera's it is very user friendly!
    I have yet to connect it to my FPV quad, but my first indoor and outdoor tests show good movie quality, I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for something light and easily usable!
    
    Oh, and I love the orange color!

48. Really good camera

    Posted by Juanjo Martí on 20th Mar 2016

    I choose this camera after look for some kinds of this cameras. I'm really happy with my decision.
    It's a great camera. Wifi option and app is a good tool to config the camera very easy.
    The quality of films are fabulous.

49. Great cam for the FPV Racing Quad

    Posted by Thanh Tung on 19th Mar 2016

    Compare to the Runcam, RunCam2 is smoother for the video clip. Contrast, Saturation is very nice. I do racing quadcopter so Runcam 2 is one of my choice to record flying footage. It is lightest compare to Yicam (75gr) and GoPro(86gr). Price is very competitive and acceptable with its quality. A back lid is a very clever to keep the MicroSD not to pop out off the camera when it got hit.
    
    The bad part is the dimension is vertical instead of horizon like Yicam and GoPro, so it requires more space on my drone and left a very narrow room for the drone lipo battery.

50. Excellent Cam

    Posted by john mcphillips on 14th Mar 2016

    Get a lens cap and the mounting accessories work fine, this cam beats the go pro i paid MUCH more for hands down!

51. works just like a go pro

    Posted by john mcphillips on 14th Mar 2016

    excellent resolution and high quality video

52. Great HD Cam

    Posted by Nicholas Bauer on 14th Mar 2016

    Excellent video quality. I run this cam for POV paintball/airsoft applications. The field of view is great, light correction and image stabilization are all great for this application. With the additional mounts available for purchase, the possibilities for use are endless.

53. Great HD Cam

    Posted by steve on 12th Mar 2016

    I had a break from the Runcam HD cams as version one was not living up to my expectations, I recently bought 2 of the Runcam 2's and found them to be a great little camera, great picture, well built, love the removable battery idea and the fact the cam comes with a whole heap of useful goodies is a bonus.
    
    Only two thing sI can say that I don't like is that sometimes when you crash your multirotor the battery inside the cam must move just that little bit that it disconnects power and you lose the awesome crash footage. Second is the sound ..granted you get wind noise while zooming along on a quad but it is also a lilttle muffled.

54. Great Camera

    Posted by Isaac Gutierrez on 11th Mar 2016

    After I updated mine to get rid of the bullseye effect I have been rather pleased with the video quality.
    
    Although I have seen a few hiccups with *mine* at least.
    When I attempt to play a video back via wifi the video never plays back smoothly and buffers often. I'm not sure if that is common but I have tried several different devices and same results. Even in the middle of nowhere and it's the only thing broadcasting wifi, same problem. At best I just use the app to make sure the image I want to capture is in frame.
    
    Another thing I have noticed, but is not a big surprise is that if the camera has a good enough jolt while recording the SD card seems to move internally and it will corrupt the file and I will have to reformat my SD card before its ready to record again. That is when the Wifi capabilities comes in really handy.
    
    With that being said my Runcam 2 has taking a few good tumbles and once was ejected from a crash into a dry river bed full of rocks and came out just fine, got really lucky on that one.
    
    One of my favorite things about the camera is the Bright Orange color. It really makes locating it much easier and the battery door that covers the SD card really gives a piece of mind that I don't have to do additional search patterns just to locate my stuff.
    
    Additionally I have heard about some people not liking the audio quality and I agree it is muffled compared to other cameras but I actually like that rather then overly loud noise of my quadcopter. I understand if someone wanted to record audio/video for purposes other than just R/C models and really would like better audio, but for my application I like the muted audio that it has.
    
    Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
    Now to get an owl!
    Thank Runcam!

55. very good camera.

    Posted by Unknown on 11th Mar 2016

    Pros :
    Form factor
    Wifi
    1080p / 60fps
    Build quality
    
    Cons :
    
    Lens à little bit to narrow
    Runing time a bit short (@1080p / 60fps)

56. Briliant Video

    Posted by Martin on 8th Mar 2016

    The best video yet of the three cameras that I have bought so far. Mounts well on my Quad. and handles light changes well. Needs the on-screen date bug fixing (while disconnected from App.) and I'm unable to turn off Image Stabilization. As others have noted it also requires a better set-up manual and system. Apart from that, well done RunCam - a great device!

57. exellent camera

    Posted by Max on 5th Mar 2016

    Takes great videos but I really like the time lapse photo feature. Very light and easy to use. Need to get a better app and need to make it so that when I set time lapse for photos it doesn't affect the video function

58. Quality Cam, poor setup

    Posted by Allan on 2nd Mar 2016

    The quality of the cam is very good. I wouldn't call it amazing or fantastic, but it's very good. Much better than my older model GoPro. I use this primarily on my bike, and it shoots very good video even at high speeds and with "road buzz". 1080/60 is pretty much mandatory to get any kind of quality video. Like many action cams, the colors are a bit muted, and it has problems rendering trees/leaves well, trees often look fuzzy and pixelated during fast motion. I've tried a few videos at a slower speed, taking panorama videos of landscapes, and it does a much better job. But I'm sure the vast majority of users will want this as a fast action cam, which it's good at, but not great.
    
    My biggest gripe is with the setup. The instruction "manual" is a complete joke, there is virtually nothing useful in it. I had to end up watching YouTube videos in order to figure out how to use the on-screen configuration menu. And it's a pain, because you have to connect to a TV pretty much jury rigging some cables and wires in order to get to the on screen menu. It is NOT easy at all! Connecting to the phone via WiFi is nice, but it is very limited in the settings you can change. You almost have to be some kind of AV nerd in order to connect all the various wires and cables in order to make settings changes. I was very annoyed when I first got this, and had to spend extra time Google searching and YouTube searching how to do certain things with this camera. There should be a COMPREHENSIVE, easy to understand manual included, not the scrap piece of paper with literally nothing useful on it!
    
    Lastly, I was annoyed with the lack of a GoPro style mount included. I had to purchase a $10 kit which included a bunch of other stuff I didn't need just to get one small GoPro mount for the RunCam mount. They provide you with a standard camera screw-in mount, why couldn't they provide us with a 10-cent GoPro mount?!
    
    Overall, I like the quality of the camera, and I love how small and light it is. Way better than the stupid GoPro box that looks dumb on people's helmets. They just need to clean up the support end of things, and give the user some useful info on how to operate and change things on the camera.
    Follow-up: Sorry for the inconvenience. And thanks for your feedback. We will keep improving our instructions and our products. Thanks

59. Best wifi cam out there.

    Posted by Justin L Fockler Sr. on 2nd Mar 2016

    Best wifi cam out there.
    a great alternative when using Google cardboard glasses with lenses removed its just as you are using a $1000 set of FPV goggles.

60. wifi great, great features
