Replay XD camera integration
The setup of almost any Replay camera, the PrimeX, mini1080, XD1080, etc. is all very similar. The cameras record to a micro-SD card, usually included is a basic 4GB card. Some settings are done on the back of the camera, other settings are made through a text file on the SD card. The biggest downfall of this camera is the lack of stereo audio input, the sound is mono only meaning the same right and left. This limits the ability to record sync pulses quietly and audio from onboard radio communication. To integrate the camera a multitude of options are available as shown below.
