• From Flight Controller/BEC: Connect the included JST cable to your flight controller or a BEC providing a stable 5V output. Ensure correct polarity (5V, GND).
• From Power Bank (for standalone use): Use a Type-C cable to connect the camera to a 5V power bank.

4.2 Pamasangan Kartu Micro SD

Insert a Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, up to 128GB recommended) into the Micro SD card slot with the contacts facing the camera body. Gently push until it clicks into place. To remove, push the card in again until it springs out.

4.3 Pamasangan

Use the provided 3D printed camera mount to securely attach the RunCam Thumb 2 to your FPV drone, RC car, or other desired platform. Ensure the camera is firmly mounted to minimize vibrations and prevent loss during operation.

5. Parentah Operasi

5.1 Operasi Dasar

• Daya Hurung: Connect the camera to a 5V power source. The indicator light will illuminate.
• Mimitian / Eureun Rekaman: Press the button once to start recording. The indicator light will change to indicate recording status. Press again to stop recording.

5.2 Remote Control Recording (via UART)

The RunCam Thumb 2 supports remote control recording via UART, typically connected to a flight controller. This allows you to start and stop recording using your remote transmitter.

Gambar 5.1: Wiring diagram illustrating how to connect the RunCam Thumb 2 for remote control via UART. This example shows soldering the Type-C control cable wires to a Speedy Bee F7 V3 flight controller: Power wire to 5V pad, GND wire to GND pad, Tx wire to R3 pad, and Rx wire to T3 pad.

Kabel Example (Speedy Bee F7):

• Solder the power wire (red) of the Type-C control cable to a 5V pad on your flight controller.
• Solder the GND wire (black) to a GND pad on your flight controller.
• Solder the Tx wire (green) to an Rx pad (e.g., R3) on your flight controller.
• Solder the Rx wire (white) to a Tx pad (e.g., T3) on your flight controller.

Note: Being too close to the GPS module may affect signal reception. Position the camera appropriately.

5.3 Camera Settings via RunCam App (QR Code)
