Greetings Folks

so i have an unusual question here...

I am a Choreographer and am interested in putting tiny wireless cameras on my dancers for a piece I am developing.

I have tried the $30 ebay variety in the past - but you get what you pay for re dropouts etc...

I am thinking about going with some of the Black Widow stuff (I need to run 3 transmitters simultaneously)

so I was thinking about going with these 500 mw units:

my question is if there is some way to use a 'wire' as an antenna - like with this unit:
http://www.blackwidowav.com/bwav240050components.html

as you might imagine, the bigger antennas are going to look pretty lousy on the dancer's costumes and a thin wire is significantly smaller / more controllable...

is there a way to buy/make a wire like this work for an antenna?

there is a remarkable amount of radio noise in a theater with dimmers and so on so it seems like a more powerful transmitter would be helpful and the 500 mw unit is only the tiniest bit bigger...

thanks for any thoughts about the antennae or other aspects of this project -
I need some low lux cameras as well and would love recommendations on those as well...

thanks!

You cross posted AND this has nothing to do with aerial video or R/C for that matter.

actually

it DOES have to do with aerial video - I am using the SAME technology and as far as I can tell these two forums are the only place to get information on the subject -

furthermore I have related problems/questions - interference, miniaturization and so on...

so - I certainly apologize if my benign question upset you -
it seems to me that the posts could certainly be relevant to others -
I am after all asking about antenna technology for wireless video cameras -

perhaps you could consider the dancers large, and very low flying rc vehicles capable of extremely short flights only

anyway - no offense intended and frankly I can't see how my related question is remotely harmful to you
it seemed to me it might be an interesting puzzle to consider [&:]

or at least within the rubric of 'free flow of ideas'
