Default Toucam Pro

Chaps

I'm looking at going for a toucam pro from http://www.trutek-uk.com/ one
question really do i need to modify the toucam pro to take long exposures or
does the software allow for this?

Cheers

Damian

Yes, you'll have to modify the camera for long exposures. It'll work great
for short exposures though, lunar and planetry stuff.

Damian,

I bought one and the adapter a while back, and gave mine to Fluffy to
mod for me as I'm appalling at soldering. If you want it modding, ask
him nicely at the next flying event & be prepared for a bit of a wait :-)

Has fluffy modded it yet? I think he's still got a video tx unit of mine he
was modding for me from a while back ;-)

He's been asking about the LARF Hybrid launch so might be worth dropping him
an email
