Hello !
New camera onboard
I bought a Aiptek pocket DV camera. This little 160g camera can record up to
200secs of video on the internal memory. After some playing around yesterday
I took it for 2 flights today.
the video above is just a short preview of the real thing
Video quality is ok, but the 3min time limit is a problem, since I cannot
start the video when it's up in the air.
I was lucky to buy another camera, a Kodak mc3, wich uses compact flash
memory. It will take a while until I have it in my hands (and on my plane),
but then I will be able to record much longer videos.
Soon you will see shots from the places I always wanted to fly to, but
because of restricted transmitter power (legally only 10mW) I was unable to
fly that far with the video recording...
you can see more on the July

Yesterday I dropped on a site that just mindboggled me.
Check out
Cyber-Flyer - that guy has
multiple
4W (four watts!!) video links on his helicopter, so he can fly it with video
view only.
He had a server failure, and most of the video material is not
available, but what I read there just was amazing!
