GBTDAMAN Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 About 5 years ago I bought a SQ12 mini camera which I fixed onto a flat wagon. Then when coupled to the front of a locomotive, I was able to film a 'Drivers eye' video of my OO gauge layout. This was great at the time but the film quality was never great. Now 5 years down the line and with the improvements in technology and the ever increasing use of cameras on things like drones and clothing there must be better cameras out there with 1080p or even 4k quality that are small enough to mount on a OO gauge wagon. This would then enable me to video my layout again, replacing the old footage with far superior quality images. Can anyone give me some camera ideas. Don't really want to pay any more than £100, but suggestions at any price range both cheaper and more expensive would be useful as I'm sure other readers of this forum will also be interested in the idea. Any help appreaciated. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have is a Q15 (there are still some on TheBay) and cost ~£30. They're not 4K (despite what the blurb says), but produce acceptable 720p videos. It's at the 'cheap' end of your price range ... Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted November 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I'm interested in doing something similar but I'd like to be able to do it via wifi in real time back to a monitor to be able to drive the train from the cab view. The camera etc. needs to be small enough to hide inside a 4mm diesel or electric loco. Has anyone done this with current technology instead of the stuff I was playing with 20 years ago that was very susceptible to interference?
