Suction Pad for CarCamOne 07.07.10 The new suction pad for the CarCamOne is available in about 2 weeks. With its simple lift- mechanism the camera can be mounted bombproof on the front- or backwindow or any other plain surface in the car. In order to avoid that the pedestal of the pad is visible in the video, it´s necessary to mount the cam overheads. To flip your video, please install the firmware "Canopy". Just copy the file "CRESFW.BIN" directly on the memory card of your camera. Restart the cam - after ca. 45 Seconds the update is finished - confirmed with "CP" (complete).

D1 / H.264 Updates 01.06.2010 We prepared the D1 / H.264 updates for FlyCamOne eco V2, the CarCamOne V2 as well as for FCO3 V1 & V2 to increase the resolution to 720x480 pix. It might be necessary to use a different player. The VLC Media Player did it well! The new compression method needs 25% faster SD cards - we recommend 6MB/sec). To enjoy a stroking free video download the file to your computer before watching!
The update for the FlyCamOne² V2 will follow - use the CarCamOne software if you like - the only difference is the CC Mode and the default time stamp, that need to be turned off by pressing the menu button until "--" appears!
SD-Card Update - much easier than before - download only the right CRESFW.bin onto the SD card. Switch on the camera and wait until "CP" is displayed!
SD-card update 1. Download the file "CRESFW.bin" to your SD-Card 2. Disconnect the camera from the PC 3. Switch on the camera 4. Wait until "CP" appears in the display (1 Min)
Cams with this logo at the box do have the D1 update already!

FlyCamOne 3 The awaited modules 5.8 GHz transmission set and 433 MHz LinX have just been launched early this month. Due to the ash clouds and delayed in flights, we have been a bit late in the release of those two items. Everything is now running smoothly and several batches have already been delivered to customers. Now it is absolutely no problem to use FC03 5.8 GHz set with 2.4 GHz TX/RX system, even if already in the past, very few users were complaining about interferences. (New system allows 8 different channels that can easily be selected by switch modulation) Moreover, the 433 MHz module allows remote control of the head of the camera as well as to start and to stop the video sequences. It will also be quite useful combined with the V-eyes for the head tracking.
The new FCO3 RX-Cable V2 with L-shape will arrive next days! This one powers the cam from the Receiver side as well!
FlyCamOne eco V2 The very tinny FlyCamOne eco V2 is now available on the market.

Especially designed to be combined with the V-eyes as more accurate and reactive, a first batch will be delivered in few weeks.
FlyCamOne 3 V-Eyes Regarding the FCO3 V-eyes and its complex technique, we can confirm you that a wider production it actually being led. After a first delivery of few pieces, we have confirmed the production lead that will allow us to serve most of our customers. All technical problems were successfully solved to serve you a perfect product synonym of pleasure for consumers.
A D1/H.264 update for more contrasts and brightness and a resolution of 720x480 will be available soon for all V2 models.

AirAce Professional P-38 As a final point of this newsletter, we have just got feedback from magazines and retailers that our new models AirAce pro P38XL are the perfect compromises for intermediary pilot. One step above our already famous AirAce 3 models, this new version of planes combines intermediary technique (elevator + turns with engines strength) and efficient technique (lipo + 2.4 GHz for large distance of control). Pricing is well targeted and we highly recommend you to proceed to a first test of this new range.
