Great video always!!!
AND ANOTHER GREAT CAMERA RUNCAM, ONE MORE HOME RUN FOR THE FPV COMMUNITY.
Good job on the thumb Runcam. Have you ever considered allowing users to have finer grained control over settings in your cameras, like increasing bit rates for resolutions that are using less than 60mbit for example? Thanks!
Thanks. Btw what is your settings during night?
What an awesome video! NEVER have I seen all this explained so well, I struggle with all this stuff and this is going to be a brilliant resource for me, thank you so for being you mate ✊🤝 bloody fantastic 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hey thank you so much for taking the time to watch it. I'm glad it was helpful
Best Thumb pro video yet. Thanks.
In recent firmwares there are also "XV" versions of 4K@30fps and 4K@25fps modes that capture the full 4:3 sensor and squash it down to 3840x2160. This gives the stabilization in Gyroflow more room to work with and you don't lose so much FOV due to the lens correction.
Heck yeah there is, I have been using it.
I have windows 8 so i have to use 0.3.0 beta gyroflow so can runcam thumb pro seaport this beta version please tell 😊
Dang! That footage looks good. Thanks for this! Best pro tips on how to maximize thumb pro footage so far.
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and watching the video. Glad it was helpful.
That was a good one! Really interesting to see your Gyroflow and color grading workflow. Great job on the edit too, there's a lot of info packed in here but the pacing is great.
Hey Flip thanks for watching and the comment. I try and keep the pacing steady in all of my tutorials.
This was exactly the video I needed! Bought the Runcam pro yesterday and now I can get the most out of it!
That is Exactly what I wanted to hear, It takes a bit of work to make it great, but it can be done. Happy flying my friend.
Quality tips. Thanks for the video mate. 🍻
Exactly what i been searching for! Great tips!
Excellent results from a $100 camera! Great tutorial, Thanks!
You're welcome! Its not bad at all for the price.
Outstanding, thanks Lee.
Hey no problems, thanks for watching.
I really appreciate you making such a quality video that shows us how to make better videos with the Thumb Pro. Definitely Subscribing!
Lots of great information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I am truly sorry for the delay in response. I had a case of RUclips Burnout. Times have changed for me in recent months and I am slowly starting to get back to flying and my channel. Had a family tragedy, an Occupation change, a New car purchase, Daughter starting to drive. Kids' school activities and more. I prioritized family first and getting my mental state in order before I could resume my channel operations. Life is trending in a more positive direction and wanted to follow up where I left off.
This video is fantastic for a newb like me. I was wondering about how to do all this with a cheaper start up camera. You were a mile ahead of me through the whole video, but it will be something fun to learn. Really appreciate the video.

love love this
Great video, thanks for the tips.
You bet! no problems, thanks for watching
Great vid man I can't wait for mine gets here Monday
Hey thanks, you will like it. It does take aa bitt of work to make it look great but well worth $90
Thank you buddy! Great tips and video
Hey no problem, thanks for watching.
Big thumb up to your work. Tons of good information for noobies how to play with footage and make it better.
Superb video! Detailed editing! Really help me as a noob 🥳 Thanks a lot
I am glad to hear that.
pretty handy tutorial ! thanks!
Glad it helped!
Really amazing tiny camera. Very close to GoPro and much better than Insta Go 2. Love it!
Yeah it's definitely pretty close to the older GoPros nothing like a 9 10 or 11 but man for the price it's great thanks for watching
@@AdventureFPVhi im curious whether i should go for gopro hero 6 naked or this runcam thumb pro. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for sharing! New to FPV and decided to run with the Thumbcam for action cam work, I'll definitely be revisiting your guide on editing the footage! Thanks!
Heck yeah man, welcome to the club. I am really liking this small camera so far.
@@AdventureFPV Thanks, Just ordered the Zorro ELRS to begin Sim Training 🙌
Men thank u for the video.
My pleasure, thanks for watching.
Just got one of these little guys so will be using this vid to try improve my footage 🙌🙌
Heck yeah, its not too bad.
Color mask tip is great thanks.
No problem! Works great on the insta360 as well
Hey there thank you for the detailed instruction. Had you ever the issue that after stabilization that it creates some shakes where are none in the raw footages. Would be nice if you would have some recommendations.
Good work. Waiting on one. Maybe it's because I'm seeing on youtube and don't have neither net speed, grafic card or 4k screen, this, and the Orange, look much better then the DJI Action 2. I was in doubt to buy it as I wasn't enjoying the changing light handling I've seen on some videos. It seems the secret is to lock settings! Great! I got the Caddx Turtle V2 lens to try it with this and get more field of view. In the meanwhile I'm waiting on foxwhoop propguards, the unbrakable ones, that broke on second flight, first crash! Can't wait to make it all come toghether. Thanks again. Cheers
Hey thanks for watching and commenting. I have never really been a fan of the action 2 for the price. I think the orange can look good if you do it right, not as good as the action but for 1/3 the price who can complain.
Awesome! I had a hero 6 that damaged by water was almost new, so new i need i new camera, i think this would be a good replacement and low weight specially for my cine whoop, noticed that they have a v2 version, i guess it have some improvement so will go for that one, by the way, were you flying a 5" kwad or cinewhoop?
This video is so good. RunCam itself came and commented.
Hey thank you so much for watching. Now only if Runcam would send me some free stuff... LOL
I have windows 8 so i have to use 0.3.0 beta gyroflow so can runcam thumb pro seaport this beta version please tell 😊
have the original Thumb, like it so far.
might pick up the new version of the pro
Man you will love the upgrade if you are happy with the original thumb. Thanks for watching.
So awesome thanks!! I'm getting a high frequency buzz at certain rpms on my explorer LR, I'm using the tpu mount that came with it
I had the same issue with the Chimera 4, I just updated to Betaflight 4.3 and it is almost completely gone. I also have the explorer and really do not fly it much anymore because of the vibration issues I have. I may try and do an upgrade on this quad to 4.3
@@AdventureFPV awesome thanks! Or maybe put the supplied arm connectors on.
@@Jacey2001 they are on, just some little bobbles here and there.
Bud, I'm wanting to build a 3.5" with that cam on it. You have just renewed my hopes to capture nice footage on it.
I put this on me FlyFish VX35 with good results.
@@cmfpv23 yeah I did end up building a quad and am using the thumb pro on it 😁
Such a helpful video thank you. Is it just me getting mario 64 vibes? Like whe. They introduce the castle at the start? Haha
LOL kind of Mario... Glad it was helpful.
very good
Thanks
All the flips and barrel rolls and stunts and everything that the rotor riot guys do are really impressive. But this is the kind of video I want to shoot. Just find a great location and explore it.
Great video! Is this camera good for real estate?
I have never tried it and it would not be on my list of cameras to use... But Troncat FPV did a video with it and it looks pretty good. Check this out: ruclips.net/video/A_r4BAtYpZE/видео.html
Hey man love the video quick question my thumb pro only records 1min then stops recording any ideas?
It sounds like the SD card is not fast enough. How do you power the thumb?
I have windows 8 so i have to use 0.3.0 beta gyroflow so can runcam thumb pro seaport this beta version please tell 😊
Some good ideas and great video ta, for me esp the manual settings is part the way forward, and a soft mount, ive been seeing heaps of noise in the gyroflow data i just cant get rid of without compromising the result. Ive realised you can check your settings on a phone via otg cable and a usb camera app, which once it stops raining ill be checking out ! ps i run a Chimera4, but am finding getting it flying smooth difficult, any chance of the profile and filter cli ? 🚀
Hey thanks for watching. Yes I will update the CLI on my site this weekend.
@@AdventureFPV Thanks man & greatly appreciated, just waiting for a new base plate for mine after `tuning it` , easier to ask sometimes !!
@@yorkshiredronetours2995 I just added my 4.3 betaflight CLI to my website under resourses / Files www.AdventureFPV.com
@@AdventureFPV Cheers , will check them out soon ! nice site you got set up, and very similar, im using the DJI radio and Crystal Antenna with V1 goggles, works a treat !
@@yorkshiredronetours2995 Working good for me as well. Thanks for watching.
Which gopro do you feel the runcam thump is on par with? 5, 6, 7, lol just been wanting to start shooting bit of realestate or whatever and wondered if a naked 8 or 9 would be better or what you think would the pro be enough?
Maybe the 6, I would NOT use it for RE but thats just me
Where can I find the aperture of the camera? Been looking everywhere. The manual would be a good place to put it:)
For anyone guessing there are apps for choosing an nd filter. Pro tip use your strongest filter in no cloud middle day. On my hand held camera I'll go 32 till clouds cast shadows.
Thanks for the tip. You can also use the app to preview... ruclips.net/video/pueT6HaJVQc/видео.html
You can also make a video of akaso brave 6 plus . How can we make cenamatic video the akaso brave 6 pluse .
Just uses these tips and apply them to that camera.
So, are there any lenses available that catches more light so you get a more sensitive AUTO ISO?
I don't know of any lenses that would increase the amount of light. You can definitely get an ND filter to reduce the amount of light which is what I use.
What do you think what camera to buy for Cinewhoop if you dont want to do post things, even if you then dont get the most out of it. A Camera with good standard settings and stabilisation.
Go for the GoPro if you want solid results straight out of camera and your rig can carry the weight.
👍 great video . But please make a video of akaso v50pro or v50x Camara . How can we make the Camara cinematic . Please...... 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 .
Get thanks so much, I would make one if I had one. Not going to buy that camera, but if Akaso wants to send me one I would be happy to do so. Caddx Walnut video will be my next one.
Tengo esta camara pero la uso para grabar en vertical y al momento de cargar el clip en gyroflow el perfil de lente no está disponible en formato vertical, alguna idea de que hacer? ayuda!

Hi.. can you share how you export with fcpx and what setting for youtube uploads? My videp always break apart after upload to youtube.. thanks
Hey thanks for watching. My videos fall apart one I upload as well. They always look better on the computer before I upload. I just use the standard (RUclips / Facebook) export in finalcut for or the standard 4K export
@@AdventureFPV using those preset will make it low bit rate and bad for youtube. But yours are way better than mine..
@@TERBANGFPV I would normally agree with you, I also have a super HIGH bitrate custom export I created with compressor and it takes FOREVER to upload and process so I stopped doing that. I had stingerswarm on the show and we discussed this very topic. We found that the RUclips export is optimized for the conversion process that takes place on the YT side and makes for a pretty decent upload. That is what I did for this video.
Why is the stabilized video so jumpy? Awesome info 👍 thx 4 taking the time 15:57
This is the 4-in quad that I have a little bit of bobble in the tune. I actually just converted this frame over to a dead cat replaced a motors and got new props seems to have gotten rid of the instability issues I was having
Great tips, Lee. You mentioned that you can't preview what it will look like beforehand. So it's not like the insta 360 go 2, where the app gives a preview of the recording and allows for adjusting settings on the fly?
I didn't realize that. That's a shame!
Yes, exactly there is not preview because the camera does not have wifi or bluetooth. That is the one BIG downside to this camera. But you do get what you pay for.
@@AdventureFPV I never knew that. Still amazing for what it is.
@@AdventureFPV you can hook it up via usb to your phone/laptop and press record once and it'll pop up as a webcam with your current settings.
@@Martoriass Okay this is HUGE news, thank you so much I am going to give this a try now. You rock.
@@AdventureFPV awesome :)
Using your qr code with an nd8 my image is almost black on a sunny day. Is something wrong?
Is this a UK "sunny day" lol Just kidding, You may need to bump up your ISO setting or just remove the ND altogether if there is not enough light. I also made this video that shows how to preview this camera on a phone before filming: ruclips.net/video/pueT6HaJVQc/видео.html hope that helps.
Great video! I'm disappointed with the color quality of the Thumb Pro, but it looks like you can really bring it back out with software (seriously, that looks almost as good as my Hero9). I don't believe in supporting software companies that only have subscription based plans (in fact I hope they go broke), can anyone suggest a program on Windows that would be good for this, and that I only have to buy once?
Hey thank you so much for watching. I am pretty sure davinci resolve is free for windows as well as mac. This software is powerful.
I’m using mine for freestyle and I find after I stabilize that the field of view is too narrow and zoomed in looking. My caddx peanut seems better. Any suggestions?
You can turn down the smoothness and adjust the timing of the reaction. Just add a touch of smoothness thats all you need for freestyle.
You can also reduce the amount of lens correction.
@@sligit True...
Is gyroflow compulsory?
i like to know how bad the original footage of it.
For me yes it is. You can see raw at 1:34
recommend me a tpu mount , i have jello with classic gopro 2 piece mounts but things getting better with a one piece mount that i made but still there !
I am using the one that came with it, what quad is it on? Are you using ND Filters? Manual or auto settings?
@@AdventureFPV 5" quad , manual settings except shutter on Auto , 4k/30 , iso 200 with nd16
@@mode2fpv Okay try locking in the shutter and leaving the ISO in auto if you must leave something in auto. The shutter is what causes Jello. Well that and vibrations. But the reason you want the ND in the first place is to lock the shutter. Give that a try and see if it is any better. If now soft mount may be neccassary. What firware is on your quad?
@@AdventureFPV I would say that the vibrations causes shutter problems that causes jello 😅
@@YOYO-vl6xr That is correct!
When is the v2 version coming?
Hmm IDK but I would love to try it...
@@AdventureFPV I hope to see a video from you about it in the future, as I have one on the way.
This was the video that I was looking for! I am currently building my first drone and looking for a budget camera. I was thinking about the thumb pro or 5 Orange.
Both good cameras, I am into the walnut right now.
@@AdventureFPV Yeah, Ordered the Walnut. Now has to learn how to fly without it first haha
Wht gyroflow version?
1.2
brother please answer,so which is worth it? runcam thumb pro or gopro hero 6?
The GoPro hero six has more flexibility like a built-in screen and a replaceable battery. If you can get one for the same price and weight is not an issue, that would probably be a better solution.
@@AdventureFPV thank you for answering,but i meant are from the video quality,is it thumb pro have as good video and detail as like a gopro hero 6?
@@servicehpjogjabantul Hero 6 will have a better out of the box image for sure, If you are good at video production and editing the thumb can look really close
@@AdventureFPV ok thank you my brother,still confusing what should i get for my first camera fpv
@@servicehpjogjabantul I started with a hero 6
Why does my image shake when I apply gyroflow?
There could be a couple of different reasons for this of course starting with a tune and soft mount would be the place to start. Or it could be that your gyro data just isn't synced up perfectly so I bump that happened a few milliseconds before is now being stabilized a few milliseconds later causing it to have double bumps.
@@AdventureFPV My original video has no vibration, But when you apply thegyroflow, it shakes.
you done great job Lee but i found shadows at 16:20 area look bit muddy lack of detail but overall footage looks good
Hey thanks Jim, That was a part of the Color curves 10:35 this could have been boosted but I decided to go wiith a contrast look as that is my preference. Thats the great thing about video editing. It turns us all into Bob Ross and we can each have our own little Happy trees. LOL Have a great weekend my friend.
@@AdventureFPV wish was Bob Ross🤣👍
I have the runcam thumb pro, but its low light capability isn't great at all... plus adding any nd filter even in the brightest day the video is really dark to be used, ( i record at 2.7k 60fps, auto shuuter,iso 100)
Yeah I wouldn't say this is a great low light camera by any means. I also agree I think the ND filter range is incorrect. I use the lightest one in the package typically
@@AdventureFPV wow thank you your reply. I will use it where it's best at until i upgrade
@@novisfpv Happy flying my friend
@@AdventureFPV since we are here can i ask you something totally different from runcam... I have iflight succex force 800mw vtx and fatshark scout googles , will there be any improvement if i change the stock omnidirectional antenna to something like foxeer pagoda pro or iflight albatross
I personally would leave the ISO on auto. You've locked the settings in a way the camera can not adjust for changing light conditions.
That's exactly what I want. I can understand why you may want to leave it in auto, but I am looking for consistent exposure.
Runcam ruined this camera with the W version, which does increase fov a bit, but image quality went down the toilet. The new lens is smaller and less defined, and there is a jarring software oversharpening that simply ruins the picture. Sadly there's no way to avoid this, all 3 sharpening modes (low, mid and high) produce the exact same oversharpened abomination. Bad move, runcam.
Yeah I think I liked the OG one myself.
On your quad.. I’m so sick of hearing this.
NOT EVERYONE HAS A KWAD
Seems like you need something better to complain about... This channel is about drones so that is who I targeted my video on my channel to. Sorry if that offended you.
@@AdventureFPV Most people would just watch the video and apply these tips to their setup, but this guy is SICK of it... SMH, Thanks for the tips.
LOL, its all good, must be having a bad day. Thanks for watching.
@@AdventureFPV Sorry if it sounded negative. It was a good video, with tons of useful info. I watched the whole thing, and will use some of it, reference it in the future, as I just bought one of these cams. also liked the video. which I actually like. good job. just saying... It's assumed that everyone is flying a 5" mini quad if you are into FPV. And I was flying FPV before the term existed, built my own tri copter with wood, and tons of fixed wing development. not everybody flies quads... Oh, and I am learning to fly a quad, so far successfully. but I find them so limiting. in sustained speed, range, endurance. space for equipment, payloads, sensors, etc. etc. anyway.. hope you have a great day too.
@@AdventureFPV you are referring to the new definition of "drone". the original definition was a fixed wing aircraft owned by the US navy, and used for target practice. but I digress. .. oh, believe me, there is plenty to complain about in the world. in this case, it was my only complaint about your excellent video. :)
