Sandro Im planning the same type of setup and i need to be able to see what the camera sees before the images is captured,Can you control the zoom with usb aswell? and how would you stream the OSD data and camera feed trhu 1 VID tx/rx?

Hi Johann, I'm starting to hack some other cams but, until now you can just use some Canon Power Shot like mine. It have USB and A/V output separated and I'm using internal commands to link the viewfinder to A/V output. You can see it working here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/camera-control-and-osd-for-uav

I'm organizing all the stuff and will create a project blog to open the code.
OSD is in process too. It's working but I'm implementing a custom charset and a special panel for UAVs.

Ah... yes. Will be sent through video tx/rx.
