Attention: RC-CAM.com will be closing down August 2021.

The RC-Cam.com forum was the very first online community dedicated to the advancement of wireless video cameras on radio controlled (R/C) models. This is now called "FPV" (First Person View). We are proud of the contributions that our members have made to the FPV hobby.

We've seen significant changes over the last twenty years. Initially there were a lot of eager R/C hobbyist that built their own video systems. Allowing these creative individuals to share their work was the purpose of this site. Now the FPV market is flooded with low cost systems; Sadly DiY FPV video projects are now rarely discussed.

RC-CAM.com (main site and forum) will be closing down August 2021. This was announced several months ago (March 2021) to allow our members ample time to download any information that is important to them. After the site is shutdown the information will no longer be available here.

We appreciate every member's involvement with advancing the FPV hobby. It is indeed sad to say goodbye to all our online friends. Be safe and stay healthy.

I had some problems with the signal from the Hi-Cam video transmitter that I use on my helicam and added a piece of aluminum paper around the glow plug cable for a test.

:o That cusses the GY611 gyro to malfunction on the pitch making the tail to tern when ever it wants. It was difficult even to land.

So be very careful

The aluminum (shield) may give you better results if it's connected to the ground (B-) of your system. Without a ground, it can act like an antenna and cause more interference to your system.
