video downlink for KAP

[bisenberger]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Lots of great information here.

Here's a description of my project, any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated:

I would like to add video down link to my KAP (Kite Aerial Photography) rig. It's the BROOXES BASIC KAP KIT (BBKK) on this web page and a Spektrum DX5e RC radio.

I have two digital cameras that I use for KAP. They both have video output, but the jacks are different for both. One is a Canon PowerShot A590 IS the other is a Ricoh GX200. I would like to be able to see what the camera sees and when it takes the picture.

Also, what would be a good portable option for viewing the transmitted signal outside?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill, there is a huge choice availible now so it's down to you. I would surgest a 10mW to 100mW 2.4Ghz video system and a 7" LCD screen or video glasses.

Thanks Terry,

Would the 2.4Ghz system interfere with the 2.4Ghz Spektrum RC?

err yes, maybe go for 5.8Ghz or 900Mhz video then.

Found what I needed at New Generation Hobbies. They have some excellent Almost Ready to fly video systems.
