RE: wich to buy
It doesn't matter......BW isn't just for aviation. You can use it on anything. Since it appears that you are a car driver and not a flyer, I'd go with the least expensive setup as range won't be an issue.

RE: wich to buy
Those cameras on the website you listed are garbage... Get one of the 480 line panasonic cameras from Black Widow. Nothing says you HAVE to put it in a plane if you buy from them

You get what you pay for, go for the deal from the flea market and you will end up with a schitty camera.....
If a cheap poor quality camera is what you want, then buy a chap one from the market.

RE: wich to buy
Things to consider in a AV system.
Cost? How much do you have in your budget?
Camera
Lines of resolution.
Physical size
Color or Black and white
Power requirements. IE. 5 volts? 9 volts? 12 volts? Some combination thereof?
In a case or not?
What can your vehicle carry?
Are you considering a radio link too or is that already determined?
Transmitter and receiver
Power out?
Antenna style?
Receiver with a tuning knob or is it PLL?
900 Mhz or 2.4 Ghz? You're in Canada so I don't know the legality of power out and frequency. Most guys here in the US fly video that requires a HAM radio license but they don't care and don't abide by the rules anyway. That's unfortunate IMO. Do you want us to recommend legal or illigal gear? (This is me kicking a dead horse btw)
I don't care where you buy it from. There are other sources even if we have our known functional favorite. You just need to understand it's not cut and dry. Check ebay. Lots of guys buy from there and once in a while one of them reports back they got a good deal.

Try Raidentech.com. I bought a color video camera with audio from them and it works just fine on my planes. Just make sure you tape the battery connection at the battery or you'll get a lot of white static. They're about $50.00

You can call up Black Widow on the phone if you dont want to buy over the internet. If you are worried about product support and honesty, there are LOTS of us here that can tell you Black Widow backs up his products 100 %. It is not a typical internet company, I have recieved better support from Black Widow than even local stores

I second BlackwidowAV. Bill has been the best, He started out wanting to provide us AerialVid nerds with a cheaper avenue to great AV products, hopefully we provided him with enough business to keep him going, he seems busy enough.
Give him a call or email him, he works internationally.

RE: wich to buy
If you're going the black widow route on a RC Car I'd suggest his 131 cased camera...
http://www.blackwidowav.com/kx131cased.html
Since you'll be in close you can go with a 200mw system
http://www.blackwidowav.com/bwav240200components.html
This will set you back $300.
