Tiny wireless colour tv cameras. www.specialistcameras.com World wide delievery. Pal or Ntsc. Cranbrook-hill, > Tiny wireless colour tv cameras. OK, so it lists several cameras there. What else is needed to transmit the video feed to, what, a base receiver I'd guess? What frequencies? Some on-site info on how it is supposed to work, and anything else required to make it work, would be helpful.

The reciever can also be powered by a pp9 battery and as is says on the site the output is via an rca av out. 1v PP THIS FEEDS THE AV INPUT OF A TELEVISION, LAPTOP WITH CAPTURE CARD , PORTABLE LCD MONITOR OR IS IN MOST CASES THE AV INPUT FOUND ON A LOT OF CAMCORDERS. THE FREQ ARE 1.2GHZ OR 2.4GHZ. THE RECEICEVER COMES WITH THE CAMERA. 1.2G and 2.4G are the BANDS they run on. what frequency ranges do they run on. 1270? 1250? higher? lower? More specificaly, do they broadcast in the amatuer radio band and do they run in the allocation for video?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> www.specialistcameras.com World wide delievery. Pal or Ntsc. Actually, I havent used the Spylinker setup for a while. I got one of the 5v 200mw 2.4ghz systems from BlackwidowAV and it rocks. Did a temporary type mounting on top of my US60 looking towards the tail. I am also using a circular polarized patch antenna and there is no signal dropout that I can see. Had a slight bit of hash when flying directly over the antenna but that is to be expected. I have no idea what the range is but it is farther than I am willing to let my plane get.

How often do people run into those boulders by the pits ???? <G> David Anyone have any idea as to the range of these things? Depends on the power, antennas, etc. > Anyone have any idea as to the range of these things? The 200mw BlackwidowAV system I have has more range than I am willing to fly. The all-in-one type systems have about as much range as you can toss a dry sponge in my experience.

I have three: one is 5 miles, one is 1.5 miles and one at 900 feet. Range depends on how much you are willing to pay for it.

Well, there is one movie on my website where I smacked the hell outta one during the maiden flight of my WM P47. Radio failure. Plane was repairable. Engine needed a new muffler and it turned out later that it needed a new case. It also needs new bearings due to some dummy forcing them into the new case. One hell of a smack can be heard when it hits. SignatureDan KE6ERB AMA605992 I've heard the screams of the vegetables... http://fubar1.freeservers.com > How often do people run into those boulders by the pits ???? <G> > > David I have seen two airborne systems. One was a transmitter and the other was a camcorder installed in the plane. I much preferred the camcorder because it didnt fade like the transmitter did. The transmitter seemed to have a lot of signal dropouts due to polorization shifts. When the camcorder plane landed the tape was played back at the field. I doubt if the pilot could watch the monitor while flying the plane with the transmitter anyways. Camcorder seemed a lot cheaper. > Tiny wireless colour tv cameras. > > www.specialistcameras.com World wide delievery. Pal or Ntsc. Show me a camcorder that my Hitec Sky Skooter will carry ! That's the popularity of the video via RF - the camera, transmitter and 9V battery for power weigh about 3oz. David > I have seen two airborne systems.

I have a set of eyeglasses that has a TV screen over my right eye. It has a prism that allows focus and placement of the picture. The image is the equivalent of an 80 inch TV at 15 feet, so said the manufacturer. I can look at the plane through the glasses and see through the camera in the plane at the same time. I am right eye dominent and this causes the two images to be super imposed on each other. I also have a set of i-glasses that I have not used yet. They have a screen in both eyes.

The double set are called i-glasses and I believe wirelessvideocameras.com handle them. IIRC they were made in Austraila and production was stopped for a while. The set I have has the optional head motion sensor unit that determines roll, pith and yaw of the head. I want to use that to interface to my transmitter to automatically pan and tilt the camera in the plane. Two of my planes have pan and tilt controlled via the transmitter. The sensor for the i-glasses are no longer made. If you want something to go down in price or go off the market, just let me buy one.

Just a thought, wouldn't it be more fun to leave the camera stationary in the plane, with a wide angle lens, and use the headset motion sensors to control the plane? Ie it would go where you looked.

One eye sees the plane from the ground and the other sees the ground from the plane point of view. Exceptional. If I read the post right. Please post the web site that has info on this item.

Using the head set I can fly it simply by TV even though I am not very good at it. No instrumentation from the plane makes it difficult. The set I described is no longer made. It has a small fanny pack that contains a TV tuner and direct NTSC connections, BTW it is color. It was made for gardeners and others that wanted to watch/listen to TV and also see what they were doing. I bought it through one of the Hi-tech magazines about 1996 and at the time it was $500. I did get in touch with the company about 3 years ago and they sent me a new sun shield even though is was no longer made. http://www.wirelessvideocameras.com/ were handling the i-glasses which is the second set I have. >Cool!
