| Isoprop's description of the 808 #11 and #16 differences. |
| 120818 - #16 AOV FOV |
| The analysis by
Tom Frank and
Sparky Paul helps to clarify the confusion about AOV (angle
of view) or FOV (field of view). AOV, without additional explanation, depends on the context. It can mean diagonal, horizontal or vertical. Also it can mean the image the lens focuses or it can mean the image that intersects the image sensor array, or the image stored in the video file. The #16v2 lens D might be able to create a focused image from 120 degrees but the sensor image and the resultant video file image is smaller. Empirically, these are approximately the horizontal field of view in the video file for the #16v2 lenses.
A 52 degrees, B 60 degrees, D 90 degrees

Comparison video, by Tom Frank, showing the differences of lens A, B and D https://vimeo.com/46375068 808 #16 V2 lens D, 120 degree, eBay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/180937263580 |
| 120721-16V2 |
| 120721 - #16v2 is Available - Wider lens and composite video out (no sound out) |
|
PRO - Wider angle of view, about 78 degrees. Composite video output. Price is still about US$40. Exposure to a blue sky does not cause a temporary gray and yellow color shift like the #16v1. CON - More vignetting. Exposure tends to be a center bright area (hot spot) and dark edges. The video-out shortens the recording time by about 10 minutes. The #16v2 minimum firmware version is 0.35. 120723 - This link shows the circuit board differences between the #16 V1 and V2. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22233709&postcount=7057 See the RCGroups Tom Frank #16 forum starting with message 7019 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1556994 See this eBay eletoponline365 listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150860529062 Seller comment - "This package will use a new lens (we call it Lens B). With IR filter at front, the lens itself will look a little red. It got around 13% wider angle of view than the original one (Lens A)." Tom Frank - "The (#16v2) TV video-out function does not impact the recorded video quality... it just shortens the recording time by about 10 minutes." Sample video comparison of lens A and lens B. http://vimeo.com/35533527 https://vimeo.com/45810909 |
| 120203 - #16 problems with class 10 flash cards |
| 120615 See this list of
problematic cards. Class 6 and 10 only
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20509794&postcount=1706 With some class 10 cards, the camera sometimes terminates the video early. If you are an RCGroups member (free) you can search about this at the #16 forum. Search for "class 10". Class 4 chards have usually been OK. |
