RunCam 5 - The Complete Guide (review, setup, comparisons, dynamic stretch, example footage)

In this review of the RunCam5 action camera we take a look at the full specifications, compare different flight footage shot in all of the available modes. I also show you how to adjust the camera settings via the RunCam app, as well as completely manually by changing values in a text file on the SD card. Finally, I show you how to use a program called Superview with RunCam5 to produce dynamically stretched videos.

Awesome Review / Guide. I began to love when people who review Camers blend in the current resolution in every video shown. That way viewers get a good idea on what settings you are flying when considering to buy the product. And it is always nice to see how the video looks and if it suits your needs. Nevertheless 10/10 points for the good Guide!

Super!! I received my runcam 5 today and this video is just what I needed. Thanks, great job

[Mrdietryon]

Awesome video really cool seeing the comparison to the split cams

[vroomers]

Thanks for this video. What is the smallest drone you suggest that can carry this camera? Can a 2-inch 2S do it?

[marksgaragestuff]

Really appreciate this video dude - loved it - one thing I’m struggling with is how to actually do the ffmpeg superview - could you help me please?

[peteflyfpv]

I do the short press on my runcam orange and it doesn't flash the green button like that for recording..it makes a beep sound but still stayed steady..

[peteflyfpv]

Runcam 5 orange is really a pain to setup..if you don't have a manual you won't know how to turn it on because my did not come with a manual and there is a really little tiny hole you have to get to on the side and press it with like a toothpick or anything that size so it fits in there and you have to press the top button and this button at the same time..ok so I did that but now it's not recording I hold the button to turn it on and then you are supposed to hit the button one more time for recording right well guess what it doesn't record it's really a pain an a ass do you know ? Maybe you can help me to get it to record please Beacuse at this time I just want to bang my head against the wall.. a little help would be really appreciate it thank you

@FPVtips hi, is there any setting to disable the beeping sound on the RunCam 5? the orange one is the only one available in my country, since i prefer black so i decided to spray it. do u think it's safe?

[EngineersU]

[rickyaditya]
