Wireless colour tv camera ride your model.

Cranbrook-hill,

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.

wireless color tv systems. Trust me. I have tried most of the systems available out there and his are the best.

Hows your Spylinker system doing??? I'm finally getting mine installed in a Sky Scooter.

David

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. Videos can be found at: res but faster loading:

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.

How often do people run into those boulders by the pits ????

Anyone have any idea as to the range of these things?

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?

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.

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.

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

Yep, shore can......

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.

Do you have a link to a source for these gadgets?

The set I use were discontinued by the manufacturer about 4 years ago. 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.

Cool! Must be a challange to get used to. 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.
