Best camera for a small indoor amateur/beginner drone

I'm completely new at this hobby, I am in the process of putting together a basic quadcopter and for when I'm finished I was looking into small lightweight wireless cameras and I stumbled across this:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110718181469&category=48632&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_3465wt_950

 

Not entirely sure if this is ideal, but it seems as if it would work. I have my computer hooked up into my TV (LCD), so it seems with a dedicated battery for the on-board camera, and the DC adapter into a socket, the transmitter into the TV, and flying with a regular R/C controller it would work quite well.

 

Price is a steal, too.

 

Thoughts?

 

And correct me if I'm overlooking something that makes this entirely implausible, because "too good to be true" usually is.

  • The camera you saw in ebay are cheap ones that have very short range.They are meant for indoor use only. I have tried and cannot get past 40 ft range in an open field. you need a camera with a seperate VTX and a good antenna to make it workable.
