FPV camera - Toshiba Camelio P-10 FullHD

[KristianS]

Since both me and RCExplorer have got this camera, this thread is created for sharing info about this cheap HD cam.

RCExplorer is much better with electronics then me so I'm hoping he will post a dummys guide on how to make this camera more FPV friendly.
And if Melikh also buys this camera, then I know we will see a more FPV frindly version

I use as is at came, out of the box, fully assembled.
I just cut a large hole in my AXN Floter Jet and strapped the camera in
I connected it to the AvionicsRC 500mW Vtx and off it flew.

It records in HD quality while it sends SD quality out of a 3.5mm video connection.

It captures very good images in daylight, but for use in darkness, it is mostly useless.

The video below is captured in 1080p but rendered in lower res..
It also came out with wrong aspect ratio

This next video is captured in 1080p and rendered in 720p

Video 6442044 on Vimeo.

Both videos are captured by the Camelio P-10.
Maybe you have go to viemeo to view them in HD quality

I hope RCEplorer does not feel like I just hijacked his HD cam thread

Best Regards,
Kristian

Great post, Kristian!

Maybe Melih can built a stand-alone-system out of this camera? This yould be awesome, a fpv hd camera with record function and interface to video transmitter

Hi Heiko,

Actualy it is possible, HD pinhole(micro lens) camera modules around 10-20$ but bigger problem is programming DSP for encoding video and generating pal/ntsc signal for transmitter. This is impossible for me, because costs is high and this is not parttime job.
Only FlyCamOne doing this job on the RC market.

May be someday

Hi Kristian,
where did you buy the P10?

[KristianS]

hi,

I bought it at Lefdals but they also have it in Elkjøp
These are Nordic electro shops, if you are not situated in Scandinavia then try ebay

Thanks, but Lefdal/Elkjøp doesn´t have it in stock at the moment, guess I´ll have to wait until late October. I´m in Oslo BTW.

[KristianS]

I'm in Ålesund, with rain and strong winds.
No flying for what feels like ages...

I need SUN!!! And calm winds!!

I guessed you were up there somewhere... Looks good on photo, but the climate?!

I found an Elkjøp-shop just outside Oslo with P10 in stock Have you tried it in the evening?

[KristianS]

Yes, low light condition are not good for this camera.
The picture gets pixelated and does not look high def at all.

Right now the sun is shining
So I'm headed out to try my Skyfun FPV before I head to work.
Will post a video if I get any usable fotage.

I was interested in Camileo P-10 for it's price, but now I've found a another Camileo, S-10 with the same parameters, a (very) little more expensive (+7 EUR), but it's significantly smaller and lighter:

Camileo P-10:
108 (H) x 71 (W) x 34 (D), weight: 148 g (exclude akku), 118.99 EUR

Camileo S-10:
100 (H) x 57 (W) x 17.9 (D), weight: 87 g (exclude akku), 125.70 EUR

What do you thing about it? I don't know anything about image quality, just the information from our shop...
