Video
Video is pulled directly off the Pentax camera and sent to a base receiver
where the laptop and/or monitor can pickup the signal. The camera gives
a 640x480 video image at 30 fps and the system has a usable range up
to and beyond 1 mile. The transmitter is quite small and light,
it adds maybe an ounce to the airplane, the power in can be taken from
the autopilot LIPO, so no extra battery is needed. Power consumption
is only 100 MA every 10 minutes.
A simple Velcro attachment to the bottom of the wing is all that’s
needed for mounting. A few more leads are used to attach to the camera
and for power. It is quite handy in that you can view and record
a video image, and then take a full size picture any time using the
picture button in horizon when something good comes into view.
Attached is video taken at 400 feet, the black dropout is when the picture
was taken at the waypoint.
