Default video transmiter

Im looking for a video transmitter with just rca inputs. Going to use the live feed off my digi cam. I found that "the spy store" had pretty good prices on a 900mhz 200 mw system for 100 bucks. I have a receiver, anyone know where just to get a sending unit?

Tinywireless.com has a 1000mw transmitter with RCAs and phase locked (nondrifting) receiver for $60 - no camera. Can't beat that easily.

Hi SpaceCase,

I have a system you might be interested in. The cost is much higher than the tinywireless stuff, but I think it has a couple advantages worth considering:

- Wide input voltage (5-10v). Range will be the same regardless of the input voltage.
- RCA jack. Mates with the video cable that comes with most digital cameras.
- Good range. You'll get around 1/4 mile of good range with the directional rx antenna.
- 2.4ghz operation.

2normal,
Just want to clarify somethings,
-My system also has RCA jacks
Same range as yours- Have we really tested?
1.2ghz operation, but I will be stocking the 2.4ghz versions shortly.

I was referring to the 1000mw system pictured on your site, it has RCA *plugs*. Most digital cameras come with a RCA plug, which would need to mate to a jack. You could always add an adapter to your system though, a bit more weight, but not much.

Same range as yours- Have we really tested?
Yup, we have. Have you seen my Nimbus video? It was shot from an ezone member's 21 foot RC glider. Beautiful plane! I also have some links to client videos which I can dig up.

That's great news! We all win in this hobby when affordable transmitters are introduced onto the market. Please do post some video from the new equipment once it arrives.

Take care,
Bill

BlackwidowAV.com
Supercircuits.com
If it was me, I would also buy a CCD camera instead of sending aloft an entire camcorder. Much cheaper, lighter, and less painful if you auger in.
Recently bought a CCD camera from BlackwidowAV but havent had a chance to try it yet.

My other video results can be seen at:

Cool,60$. cant beat that! Thats a good system. Thanks yb2normal, but I already spent some cash on the 50mw system, dont have the money to spend too much on this. Yea I like the idea of useing the live video feed, if you have a digi its already there!
