RC planes & micro HD camera
« on: January 6, 2011, 09:28:28 am »
hey Lads,

Anyone here fly RC planes and know much about High def cameras with a live downlink to glasses video stream? (basically a view of flying in the cockpit)
My buddy flies some RC planes and helicopters, but he doesnt have a camera onboard nor know much about them.
I have an idea that i want to use a HD camera onboard a plane of his, but have no idea which ones are good, or what sort of price range we are talking about..

Have a look at this video anyway, its superb.. but t his is the shit im talkin about :)

Interesting toy....

I've seen one somewhere that's about a quarter of the size of that one and for outside use, but can't find the link at the moment.

Pleasure conman.

Two at the bottom seem the sort of kit you are after, not HD though.

I think we probably sell the bits you need at work - depends how techie you are at integrating a standard HD webcam to a completely separate wireless video chipset. 

I would have thought that there would be something out there, the techie stumbling block is probably the wireless chipset that supports full HD and has a battery life that makes it worthwhile

I was (still am) interested in such a thing to be able to examine close up my roof tiles, guttering and chimney pointing, stuff like that, without having to get a load of scaffolding and balance on big long ladders.

Conman wants to fly over Melwood and see if the players do anything other than cycling or sitting on those giant balls.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
