HDMI FPV Camera Recommendation

Hi Philip,
I have had a play with gopro hero 4. In QC on any 1080P output 25FPS to 60 FPS works fine even when I switch video res in QC to 720P. No video feed on 720p 25/50 FPS and 30/50 FPS Pal/NTSC. Definitely getting video output and at correct FPS checked with a TV. Suspect the 1080P/720P switch in QC Video tab is not switching as 1080P works when the switch is on 720P. Herelink/QC can definitely handle different frame rates. Thanks for your prompt support.

Regards

Also noticed in the standard android QC App there is no video resolution switch in the video stream tab

Hi Gregory,
Are you using the Raspberry Pi Zero? Where you able to correctly send the video feed through the hdmi of the Raspberry Pi Zero to the herelink? And was the herelink transmitting correctly this video feed?
Thanks!

Hello all,

We all know GoPro cameras work fine with the Herelink, but the camera is 116g (GoPro Hero Black 7) and the stand adds another 60g. Not light weight solution apart from costing $500 AUD.

Up to now cameras confirmed to work with Herelink are:
HawKeye Firefly 8S (70g)
Eken H9R (64g)

Can you all please compile a list here so it will be a place of reference for all of us.

Has any one tried Hawkeye Firefly Q6 (41g) and slim design???

Thank You All.

Does any electronic engineer here who know a good AV tot HDMI converter chip, with just some periferical passive components ? the idea is to make a simple and mini converter :wink:

I had a short try with the Sony AS200V, basically works.

The Foxeer Box2 seems to work OK.

Hello all,

Runcam 4 Airsoft is working well with HDMI output. I have two cameras connected to hdmi 1 and 2. First has stock hdmi cable, second has 3 meter long Lindy cable. You can choose lens from 2.8 mm lens (wide) to 35 mm lens (tele). It’s not perfect - sometimes you need to flash new firmware because camera hangs up. The biggest issue with this cameras is that I can’t record and live view from HDMI port at the same time. Is it possible with another cameras like GoPro?

I have answer from Runcam Customer Service:
"Sorry, it cannot do recording and HDMI output at the same time. It will knock out.
This camera is discontinued. We are not gonna to spend more time to upgrade its software. "

I tried with Hawkeye Q6 but it did not work.

I got good results with GoPro Hero 4 and Fujifilm XT20

Hi @danielhellin and Hello All

I just purchased my Hawkeye Firefly Q6 and when I connected the camera to the Herelink the picture came up straight away without any adjustments. See attached pictures.


I also purchased a Eken H9R (64g) but did not work, may be because I got fooled by cheap eBay price ($35 AUD) and bought a fake Eken H9R (64g).

I can only suggest you buy from a reputable seller, which is not easy to do on the web now.

Anyone have luck with any of the Gitup cams? I would love it if my Git2P worked.

I bought an Ekan and the HDMI out worked for a brief period of time. Currently using an old Hero 3B+. What I liked about the Ekan briefly was it turned it self on. The camera is in a water proof enclosure so not having to turn it on was a plus. I’ll look in to this firefly but if it needs to be turned on manually it will not help me. So does the firefly need to be turned on manually??

My Q6 does not work. I reinstalled 2.5 fw, trying with 1080 30fps, video system, … no way. It seems that the camera has an erratic behavior when I connect the HDMI cable, my Q6 has been in many crashes, maybe is not full working.

Yes, Q6 is auto-ON when USB is connected, but not auto-REC.

That’s exactly what I have been trying to find that reliable. Thank you.

I just looked these up on Amazon. Which one is the real deal. Seems like different companies have cloned these. Just being cautious.

@danielhellin

My one did have the erratic behavior because I did not plug in the SD card. Once I pugged in the card it works fine now. My setting is 1080 60fps, please try these. May work, good luck.

Hi @Davidboulanger

Try Aliexpress, try this store FPV Parts Store.

Tested, even setting back to default, but no results. Thanks for advice!
