Camera for recon UAV
 

I know you guys probably get asked this all the time, so forgive me if you do. But I am putting together an UAV for some recon work and I need a small camera which transmitts a video stream back to a ground station from short distances of under a mile. I want the picture quality to be high, but of course I don't want to spend and arm and a leg either. It needs to be mounted on a torrent so it can move around while in flight, and as small as well. You guys know of anything like that?

I'll probably be using ritewing's 60 flying wing for the plane, just in case you wanted to know.

Hi Derrick,

If you are looking for high picture quality at that distance, one if these will do it:

You can also choose a 5.8GHz diversity receiver and some patch antennas off the same site, to round out a good package.

Range video have a wide selection of components including cameras, but mostly in the TV resolutions.

We are having good results with Mintron cameras, which you can get to just about any spec you want.
