In early 2018, Runcam extended their Split camera lineup with the Split Mini, bringing HD capabilities to smaller quad. Back then, I was preparing a backpacking trip, and I really wanted to take a drone with me. Because space and weight has to be optimized for this kind of trip, a full size 5" quad was not an option. So I started looking how to combine this Spit mini camera with the 2.5" quad hype going on at this time.
