Default antennea question - putting a camera on a dancer...

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!
