The Perfect Video System for Ardupilot Uavs
I have done many hours of surfing the web to find a video transmission system that is
A: Not 900mhz or 2.4ghz so it will not interfere with Xbee or my Futaba 6ex Radio
B: Long Range, 3-4 miles
C: Under 140g (save weight for batteries)
D: From US suppliers (to keep shipping $ low)
E: High Quality (many other video systems are crap such as hobbyking)
E: Under $230
Here is the list
From Birds Eye View Rc.com
LawMate 1.2G 1000mw Tx&Rx combo [LawMate 1.2G 1000mw Tx&Rx ...
BEV-1.3GHz Patch antenna [BEV-1.3GHz Patch antenna] - $29.99USD
BEV- high sensitivity microphone for FPV [BEV-microphone] - $3.99USD
From Ready Made Rc.com
Transmitter Cable [CABLE-TXSM] - $17.99
Rhino 610mAh 3S 11.1v 20C Lipoly Pack [R610-20-3] - $12.99
Camera Cable (3-wire) [CABLE-CAM3] - $8.49
From Diy Drones Store
Camera 640x480 $30
Note....... I have tested my Futaba 6ex 2.4ghz out to 1.75 miles with no problems, but it probably can not do 4 miles. The idea is to fly the UAV out of transmitter range autonomously. This is for sure illegal and this video system is hypothetical and has not been tested. So um... I don't endorse it.
I am planning to use this setup for a school project UAV.
I hope this can save other people from searching the internet for hours on end for the best deal.
