Default RE: Looking into video. Confusing

It's a framegrab off the video I digitized into the com. See why I go for the high end cameras? No CMOS cam will ever match that kind of image. It was recorded off the mw downlink rx with a Digital 8 camcorder then digitized to my ATI All In Wonder video card (with tv in/out connections) in MPEG1.

It's a quandry that hauling more stuff requires more power. That G-62 will get it up there but the vibes might destroy the cam! Certainly with the motor running the video will be terribly blurred. Electric has vibration also - just not nearly as much. I taped a CMOS cam to the wingtip of my buddy's gas plane and he took it up and wrung it out. Its kinda rough- till the motor quit and then I got a nice landing sequence.

I say find another way. The Sukhoi SU-35 looks like a nice PSS to put a cam in and stuff a coupla rockets in its tailfeathers and send it wayyy up there in a hurry! No vibes, no heavy airborne batteries or motor weight. Zoom up and... loaf...
