Lens protection hood

Rotate the lens protection hood counterclockwise to remove, rotate it clockwise to install.

Battery holder

Push the battery door outward and flip, remove or install the battery.

Micro SD Card

MicroSD U3 card is recommended; Capacity of card is supported up to 512GB.

Notice:
Use carefully when handling memory cards. Avoid liquids, dust, and debris. As a precaution, please power off the camera before inserting or removing the card. Check manufacturer guidelines regarding use in acceptable temperature ranges. If camera cannot record, please format the used microSD card via Run Cam App or computer.

Computer Connection

Connect the camera to a computer via Type-C cable, the camera will be recognized as a U-Disk.

Notice:
If the camera cannot be recognized by the computer after connecting, please make sure that a microSD card is inserted well. If you cannot access the files inside the microSD card, please try another Type-C cable or port of PC.

Firmware update

Remote Control

Type-C Control cable instruction

Power wire

It supports external power input of DC5-18V.

Ground

Power ground wire / Remote control signal ground wire

Video

It can be soldered to VI pad of Flight Controller or Video In pad of Video Transmitter to transmit video signal to VTX.

PWM

It can be soldered to a spare M pad or LED pad of Flight Controller to achieve remote control for camera.

TX

It can be soldered to a R3 pad or other spare UART of Flight Controller to achieve remote control for camera.

RX

It can be soldered to a T3 pad or other spare UART of Flight Controller to achieve remote control for camera.

Remote Control via UART (Recommended)

Here we take Flight Controller Speedy Bee-F7 for an example

• Solder the wires of Type C control cable to the pads on Speedy Bee F7 V3, with Power wire to 5V pad, GND wire to GND pad, Tx wire to R3 pad and Rx wire to T3 pad.
  

• Use BetaFlight to configure, setting the UART3 of Speedy Bee F7 V3 as Run Cam device.
  

• Configure at Modes
  Find the Modes tab at the BetaFlight, and there are three options for camera. Configure each for the functions of camera (select AUX by yourself), and the range is 1900-2100.For example:
  

• Assign the channels to the switch of the controller Please choose your Model on the
  controller, then access to the MIXER interface and assign the channel to the switches. Here we take Radio master TX12 as an example, assigning the channels CH5, CH6 and CH7 to SE, SB and SC position respectively.
  
  

• Test
  Power on Run Cam 6 and the Flight Controller

• Set the SE to the bottom, the camera starts/stops recording

• Set the SB to the bottom, the camera turns on/off WiFi.

• Set the SC to the bottom, the camera switches among the two modes:
  video and OSD setting mode; At OSD mode, you can use SA position to select, and use SB to enter a sub-menu or confirm the setting.
  

• PWM Remote Control
  Here we take Flight Controller Speedy Bee-F7 for an example

• Solder the wires of Type C control cable to the pads on Speedy Bee F7 V3, with Power wire to 5V pad, GND wire to GND pad, PWM wire to M6 pad.
  

• Configure M6 at CLI mode

• Connect the flight controller to BetaFlight and enter the CLI interface

• Type in resource to proceed, and type the command as below
  

• Assign the channels to PWM
  

• Assign the channels to a switch of the controller
  Please choose your Model on the controller, then access to the MIXER interface and assign the channel to a switch. Here takes Radio master TX12 as an example, assigning CH7 to SF position.

• Test
  Set the SF to the bottom, toggle the switch once, camera starts/stops recording; toggles the switch three times, camera will switch to photo mode.

Run Cam App Connection

1. After turning on the camera, short press the Wi-Fi/Menu button to turn on the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi light indicator will blink blue slowly, and camera waits for a connection on mobile device.
2. Go to WLAN/Wi-Fi setting of a mobile phone and find Runcam6_XXXXXXX device to connect, type in the password 1234567890
3. Turn to Run Cam App, select Run Cam 6 as the camera model to connect. Preview and configuration will be available after a successful connection.
