Status: online 		I got my CVS DV cam working today. The part of the process I found confusing is the hardware hack v3 on boot up of the camera at http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1577 .

Once you are successful with getting the cam to boot up in the preview mode without status or time info you are done with that process. But the confusing part is that the NEXT TIME you boot the camera it will go through its NORMAL CVS boot screen, there is NO indication at this point that the hack was done. But the hack is done and you are ready to connect it to your computer and unlock it with OPS 13. If it unlocks you are good to go.

I put the USB port on the side of the cam as you can see below. The USB connector came off some old computer parts I had laying around and the USB cable was $2 at Delta Computers in Atlanta. You will also need the XviD Codec; found here http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ to view the videos with Windows Media Player 10.

One is in the front canopy facing forward and the other is installed on the rear bulkhead facing aft. Last weekend, Joe Rafalowski and I experimented doing some loose formation flying with the CAMs at the Lake Wales event:

Pin Cushion Goes To Lake Wales

Great video and great music and exceptional flying!!

Did you use the mirror/lens setup and could you post pictures of your setup?

Best Regards

Ben

Status: offline 		Hi guys,

stumbled over this thread while having some time on a boring rainy november day here in germany.


So, unfortunately I am not able to get a similar camera here in germany while nobody has a "DVD service" in his offer.

Would it be possible for anybody to send me one of these cameras, ideal modified!! I will pay for all costs (shipping hardware and a modification fee .

It would be very nice because I ever wanted to see how it looks like from the cockpit of my F-22!!!

Thanks in advance

Andreas

P.S. Please PM me regarding this or send a mail to andreas(at)modelljets.com

Hi Ben,

I mounted one camera in the cockpit canopy facing forward and another on the rear bulkhead facing aft so I didn't need to use the mirror setup or the taped on mount that Scott Stauffer was using at the Super Jet South event. Both cameras are permantly mounted inside the airplane. I had to make a guide tube for turning the aft camera's recording mode on/off with the end of a 4-40 ball wrench whereas I am able to easily access the canopy mounted camera directly. I will try to put together a small writeup with photos on the Georgia Jets website soon and I will put a link here afterwards once the writeup is posted.

FYI,

Gordon

If you have not gotten anybody to send you one, I will get one, make the modifications and send it to you.

Your total cost should be the cost of material (Camera, USB cable, Futaba or JR RX pigtail) and postage.

Regards

Ben

Status: offline 		Yes I did and sent you a reply which you replied to (Have you forgotten). I picked up the Cams for you and your friend today. I have them partially built but would like to know the type of RX you have for the RX pigtail. (JR or Futaba). How would you like it sent? (FEDEX or US post office?)

Best Regards

Ben
