Status: offline 		This is a short video showing take-off, flying and landing my Avistar with a wireless camera. The camera was on top of left wing pointing to the front-down (you can see the propeller). Itīs a little dark and quality when you watch it on TV is much better, but here it is anyway. Enjoy it!!!

Looks great!
Yeah, what system did you use? Im guessing a cmos camera due to the prop strobe. Nice field too! I had problems also with the rendered video being darker than what you actually have on the tape. Something to do with making wmv files I guess.
Keep up the good work!

Well, I got this wireless camera last year. Is the spycamera cmos type and it says on the back "200mw, 8V". This was just a test and I only taped the camera on top of my wing. I know now that I need to isolate better the camera from vibration. If someone knows a way to do it, please tell me!!!...

I think we have a nice field to fly, really flat with no obstructions...and we are getting a re-surface of the runway very soon!!!...great, because I would like to maiden my spitfire on a nice and smooth runaway.

Hopefully I will be improving my aerial videos...this is fun and things look different from above, isnīt it?....

Unfortunately, CMOS cameras dont dig vibrations much. You might try to make a little balsa box big enough to fit the camera wrapped in foam. The more foam you can use, the better. Make sure your props are balanced. You might try taping the camera under the wing close in to the fuse also.
Pretty much need to experiment with your equip to find out what works best. Thats part of the fun!
This whole airborne video thing has been a learning process for me as far as what works and what doesnt work. The latter seems to be the bigger catagory.

So the video was taken using the 200mw cmos camera?
If so, can I use the video on my website?

Can you share the specs of the 1 watt system with the CCD camera? Voltage needed, current draw and such? Got the specs for the camera itself?
Always looking for more affordable sources for this stuff!
