Flytron SimpleOSD Ultralight Edition

November 6th, 2009

This is the SimpleOSD Ultralight Edition from Flytron.com. It weighs about 3 grams and is roughly the same size as an SD memory card.

The OSD came nicely packaged in an anti-ESD bag (a sign of a serious manufacturer). The total package size was tiny, which makes the shipping cheap. The OSD does not come with any physical manual, but you are directed to an online manual. The manual is very clear and full of pictures and diagrams, which explains everything in detail.

The PCB is made from a thin glass fiber lamination making this OSD super light weight. I work in the electronics manufacturing business so I couldn’t help admiring the layout design of the tiny PCB. This designer knows his stuff

GlobeFlight Pan/Tilt for the TwinStar

September 23rd, 2009

This pan/tilt system comes pretty much prebuilt. It’s made from CNC milled 1.5 mm glass fiber and is glued together with CA glue, which makes it very strong. The milling quality is high and there are a lot of holes that simplifies wire installiton. It weights about 60 grams empty. The pan/tilt comes prepainted, the canopy part in gray and the tilt in red.

EasyCAP USB2.0 Capture Device

September 15th, 2009

Today, we will review the “EasyCAP” USB2.0 capturing device with audio. It’s a nice little capture device that will result in high quality captures with a live preview on screen, and no lag. I’ve used the EasyCAP with my laptop as my only display for a number of flights with no problems. If you’re looking for a cheap easy way to use your laptop to capture your flights at the field, and maybe need an extra display for onlookers to watch, read on…

Review GF-OSC FPV CCD Camera 420TVL

July 18th, 2009

My first thought was “wow, so many colors on the case”. All of the buttons on the cam for changing the settings are in different colors. The OSC cam appears unusual but nice to look at, at the same time.  The metal casing gives it a very solid first impression and both connectors, as well as the mounting screw for the lens confirmed the camera was going to be a winner.

Globe Flight 2.4 GHz 4 channel High End 10mW A/V Transmitter and Receiver

June 21st, 2009

Upon unpacking, I first noticed the small size of the video TX and the professional looking video transmitter. Up to now I used a normal (“standard”) receiver and transmitter system and its ok so far. But the new transmitter is slightly bigger, heavier and has a more professional look compared to my “old” transmitter.

Update

January 17th, 2010

Good Evening!

We’ve made a few changes to the website, especially the looks.

This theme has been made especially for us.  We thought a fresh, new but clearly distinguished look would give the review blog what it needs. Of course we’d be happy to hear feedback from you.

Thanks,

Kevin
