video transmission

so I am new to this and I know literally nothing about video transmission, I am planning on adding xbee to my 1.4 ardupilot, but can I do video over that? what setup would I use? if not what is a good intro setup, I'm using a parkfly p-51 mustang and a dx-8. any help would be awesome, sorry to be such a noob. I love this stuff and really want to learn how to do more

thanks George

No video on xbees. They are digital serial ports. Data only, not nearly the bandwidth for good video. You need an fpv set up. Many are available. Do your research.
