According to Wikipedia, the imago is the last stage an insect attains during its metamorphosis. In FPV flight, the Imago is just a camera: RCTimer is selling the Imago H8, a 1080p capable action camera designed for FPV flight. It features dual microSD slots, taking 2 x 32GB max, maximum framerate is 30 fps at 1080p or 60 fps at 720p.
There’s a 800mAh LiPo battery inside for up to 2 hours of recording time, and a little integrated LCD screen allows you to preview and review your recordings at the airfield. Total weight is just under 70 grams, which is a little lighter than the GoPro 3 black which weighs 76 grams. The Imago H8 supports analog video output via its mini USB port, just like the GoPro 3.
It should be noted that the GoPro3+ dropped this feature
. There’s plenty of buttons on this device and it looks like it might actually be easier to use than a GoPro, and having that screen on there is a big plus as well.
Sale price is USD $135.- over at RCTimer. Whether this is a good alternative to the ubiquitous GoPro, or the Imago H8 just metamorphed out of a 808 keycam remains to be seen.
