SQ11 - Cube Camera at New Junction | Under £8 | Under Closer Inspection

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This week at the Modern image 00 gauge layout New Junction, we have a play with a SQ11 Cube Camera from Ebay.
The camera cost less than £8 and adds new perspective to would be train film-makers. A definite must have stocking filler this Christmas!

    These look great, and the quality looks decent. I tried to get some similar shots with a my Go-Pro, needless to say many a signal and many a telegraph pole were felled in the process. These will make life a lot easier!

    Hi mate have you got a direct link to the one you purchased just gone mine this morning and quality is nothing like yours and using the mode button done get any 1080p option instructions don't even state 1080p. So must be a lower quality model or just a knock off of a knock off!

    Hi Richard, I bought 4 of these recently for a little more than £8.00 and haven’t started using them yet due to one thing and another. I note there was no time/date stamp which, in my view, is good! I have NEVER managed to ‘bottom’ the application of time/date by using the .txt function via computer. I just can’t get my head round it. Even by watching it done by demo on You Tube doesn’t seem to work for me! Anyroad (if someone knows a way to do it properly, I’d be pleased to hear from them!) Otherwise, great video and I’ll go get them on charge!!

    Very interesting camera! I have been looking at making a camera train wagon of sorts to bring to shows and such and recently found a post online where someone converted a hotwheels gopro holder car into a wagon for their layout. Main issue i've been having with this is I don't have a camera the right size to fit in there. The go pro that the box recommends using is 38mm by 38 mm by 36 mm in size. How does this one compare in size? Great videos as always!

    I do really like seeing this types of image. Did you see Graham Foulston’s video early this year when he had a view as if hanging out of a carriage window? Had to modify an old coach quite dramatically but the affect was stunning. I’d love to try this when the layout is in a more complete state. Bit more difficult in N gauge as the cams are just too big.

    Really excellent video with great quality video from your wee camera, inspired me to buy one which arrived yesterday. Tried it at the model railway club last night, sadly the video quality I am getting from it is awful. This may be because it won't go into 1080 mode. The photo quality is also very poor. Going to have to return it as it is so poor. This is a real pity as the quality you got was excellent. Any chance you could provide the link to the specific one / seller you bought from so I could give that one a try?
