Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Visit the RunCam download page to find the specific firmware for your model. Copy the firmware file to the root directory of a MicroSD card, insert it into the camera, and power it on. The camera usually indicates the update status with flashing lights.
For HD recording, it is recommended to use a MicroSD U3 card or above (e.g., Samsung EVO Plus or SanDisk Extreme) to ensure write speeds are sufficient for 4K or high-frame-rate video. The maximum capacity supported is typically 128GB or 512GB depending on the model.
RunCam cameras are high-performance devices packed into small form factors. They generate heat during operation and are designed to be cooled by airflow during flight. Avoid leaving them recording while stationary for extended periods to prevent overheating protection shutdown.
Many FPV cameras allow OSD (On-Screen Display) configuration via an attached joystick controller or through UART camera control connected to your flight controller, adjustable via Betaflight CLI.
RunCam typically provides a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the official warranty policy page for specific terms regarding repairs and replacements.
