Saw the video of this guy flying a 30cm plane with this video system on it. And thought that was freaking cool.

the tx is the same as the one available from rangevideo, which i have. But I am having trouble finding the .5-.6gram camera. Seems not to be an ebay item. Anyone know where I can buy this camera? It's cmos apparently.

Thanks in advance.

seen that in flight before and not what is acceptable by anyone's standard if you asked me. First of all it's CMOS and I haven't seen one CMOS good enough as of yet because of it's internal software. I only seen ONE that actually was AMAZING and it was made by Toshiba, but problem was that it was made for a cell/mobile phone. My buddy tried it on his Winged Dragon and got some AWESOME results but again... only made for a cell phone. Stick to a Intelligent Flight camera if you want light weight & high rez, also note this... the I.F. cam is very very very good in the dark!!! http://www.vimeo.com/613521

Ya can't stick those on a plane that is 12" wing span plane with a 26grams flying weight. I want to make an indoor flyer that I can do videos with and fly around the neighbourhood that is absolutely no danger to anyone. From what I have read and seen, the camera only focuses on the center, the sides are always a little blurry. Should be some sick videos, but won't be till mid summer to get that one done. It's the same video camera the guy on rc-tech.ch is using on 30cm epp plane, his weighed in at 24g. I want a little more range etc than what the stock ones do, putting spektrum 6300 on, and will make some actuators to either get full 4 channels or three just due to the size.

Here's one of his videos:

Yeah I know it's the same camera from RC-Tech (Andre) and I think very big of him! Actually tried to help him out personally by getting him some PC stuff from North America last week, but headhunter if weight is more important than video quality then go for it. Here is my friend flying his heli indoor or in a garage with the same camera ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omIwfmJ2WmA )

here is an old one from Roberto of Italy: Nice video quality & nice flying: http://vimeo.com/362895 http://vimeo.com/371283

your buddy's cuts out quite a bit, andre from rc-tech seemed to get his to work alot better. From what I read he had to put some aluminum foil or something to protect either the camera or the transmitter. I have the 171 and 191 sonys so not too concerned about the quality as those cameras will work real well. Just think it's fasinatin to have such a small craft!

Robertos stuff is awsome!
