Default RE: Sony webbie anyone?


ORIGINAL: 320pilot
I just wondered if your video became "choppy" during your turns, on the original footage in the Webbie Cam, or just when you uploaded your clip to the vimeo website.
If your video was choppy, in turns with the original footage, you might need a faster ie. high speed Memory Speed PRO duo flash card.

ps.Cschwie: I just watched your second video on Vimeo (the one that locks up!) I didn't realize you are flying with a FPV setup, and video goggles. WOW. Could you list all the components you used in this setup? I think the Sony Webbie Cam would be great for FPV, if you can transmit video in real time to ground based video goggles!
Hi 320,
Thank you for the feedback. The video as played from the Webbie onto a TV isn't choppy. However, Ican't compare it to the Vimeo video since my computer doesn't have the video processing power for HDand the video is VERY choppy. The MP4 is fine at my work (but Ican't use Vimeo there). Perhaps this is what you're experiencing. Can you view other HDvideo on your computer? I'm using a memory speed PRO duo flash card but I've also picked up an adaptor for use with an SDHC card. Perhaps you can download the raw file from Vimeo as Ithink it's straight from the camera.

For FPV I'm using . . . 1 watt Lawmate 2.4 GHz a/v TX with pigtail, 2 Lawmate RX with dipole antennas, Oracle diversity, Headplay goggles, and Eagle Tree OSD. The system was vastly improved just by switching to the Sony Webbie versus the typical security cameras. Now remote flying is much more enjoyable with a good image.

I don't get back here often so sorry if I reply late or not at all.
