RC Hero GoPro On-Board Video Camera by Traxxas
Mar 10, 2009 - 11:56 AM - by Mr. Tune

The RC Hero GoPro on-board, shockproof and waterproof camera you can strap onto your ride brought to us by Traxxas. Looks like you can use it for just about anything after reading the specs on it. What ever you want filmed, attach it and start filming.

Looks to me like it's a dumbed down camera with video recording capabilities, designed with ruggedness in mind. Perfect combo for RC if you ask me. Not too bad a price either. Only $180.

5 megapixel camera for stills. A 170-degree wide angle lens, 30fps, and 512x384 resolution when shooting video. It'll shoot about an hour of footage with a 2GB SD card and will last about 2 hours on 2 AAA batteries.


Here's a sample video I found on youtube.


For me info check out the product page on the Traxxas site >>HERE<<

Camp Maxx video footage!
Mar 01, 2009 - 1:34 PM - by Mr. Tune
After almost four long years I finally decided to do something with footage I got at a Camp Maxx event down in the St. Louis area (from 2005).

I spent the morning/afternoon today putting it together for your viewing pleasure. For those that might be interested, my YouTube channel is johndimo78 if you want to subscribe.

Enjoy.
