Anyone doing video camera onboard combat? Like Virtual Reality?

JG

that would be cool but vey hard. do yyou mean flying the plane looking at a little screen?.......thats imposibble to do combat with.

Tony, you better check this out if you think it won't happen.

Two of these (very expensive probably) would be good for streamer combat or laser stuff.

Yeah ive done this with an rc tank. I then made a crosshair by streaching plastic foil over it and drawing it on. Not sure about how they did pan and tilt, maybee they used servos, but it would be hard to turn the camera without somone else doing it.

















After a bit of searching I found this! The exact same plane as in the video!

No not hard at all, it was all done with VR glasses and they glasses had gyros and activated servos. Head movements moved the camera. Plenty of this gear around.

seems cool........but anyone know how expensive it is?.....in combat there is alot of crashing. I couldnt imagine everytime you crash you will have to replace the camera!

that would be the biggest problem with this whole thing, otherwise it would be really cool. it would make one heck of a video too.

I woudn't say so, as long as you don't hit the camera with a hard prop like an APC one (not a cheap prop like the parkzone ones) it should be fine, installing it within the plane would add to the protection. Other then that it's pretty durable, I don't see how a fall could break one as they are so light. At least my camera, that is.

i suppose so, you would just have to really make it protected though.

It would be possible to put it in a lexan canopy. You could use part of an rc car body and aluminum tubes for strength and realism.
