So we wanted some better video than the WIFI down link from the stock camera was giving us.
Bought a RunCam2 - took off the stock camera and cable tied the new camera to the drone. I was worried about performance with the heavier camera, however it seems to be managing it just fine so far, we have not noticed much difference.
Obviously I can't vouch for longer term wear and tear due to the slightly higher load with the extra weight.
The RunCam can also do WIFI downlink but 1080p quality to SD card is the main attraction with its wide angle lens. The image stabilization seems good considering conditions.
The next improvements need a gimbal -so that will be the time to look at a quad with more lifting power.
Just thought it might help anyone else looking for improvements.
We also bought 2 extra batteries to give us more time out before return to base.
