I would never go back to a screen I was always good at fighter pilot and flying games so it never really bothered me I guess Screens are ok for the tanks though, but it really kills the immersion....

For disguising you will be looking for pico cams. They are the tiniest of cams atm but are CMOS and not as good as normal CCD cameras (like the true and tested H1177 or PZ0420). Some of them have removable lenses too which will make mounting a lot easier as well. I know the Mobius has this but they are expensive to destroy and use just as a FPV cam. I will eventually do a nice video on FPV tanks when I get a chance
