Camera on a Zagi
I bought a wireless camera system from "Tiny Wireless" and would like to mount it on a Zagi 400X, any suggestions on how to mount the camera, transmitter and battery on the Zagi?
Thanks.
Thanks.

A good way to mount the transmitter is to have the antenna going along the LE of the wing pointing doen. Actuall the best way is antenna straight down, but then you run a risk of breaking it.

If you want function but dont care about looks, just tape that sucker on anyplace you can while retaining proper CG balance. I would probably tape the camera to the top of one wing and the tx on top of the other depending on how the wiring is set up.

RE: Camera on a Zagi
I've attached both a modified Aiptek 1.3 Megapixel camera and a 1.2MHz wireless video camera to my Zagi with great results. Both systems were powered off of my existing 8-cell 2700mAh NiMH 9.6v battery pack using appropriate voltage regulators. Here's a few pics. The rectangular flat object (taped down on wing) with an antenna sticking out of it is the 800mW transmitter. The object located in the node with the red shield is the color camera.
