    This is one of the best documentation on AP flight with ArduPilot I have seen on the site so fare, but you will get much more quality video with an other videocam setup.
    BTW great signal with low power tx on the videosystem.
    I use a tracking antenna so I'll don't have to wear the big patchantenna-helmet.

    Very great job on the AP flying. I'll be asking alot of questions in near future.

    Hello,

    I am currently using the TX40 CCD Camera from RC-Tech.

    You will find some video taken with this camera on my Easyglider with the ArduPilot at :

    I got the lense and it's looks very nice. Now i'm just waiting for the webbie jo arrive.
    Can't wait to see the result. I think it will be some of the best camera setups for FPV and amateure UAV flying. Just ashame it's hard to pan the camera.

    I received my Sony Webbie today in the mail.
    Looks like a great little unit but is does need a wide angle lens!

    Hi Guys!

    These guys sell a clip on magnetic lens for the Sony Webbie.
    Does anybody know of anyone that sells them separately?
    Looks like it might need it.
    Or do you think the field of view is wide enough?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Thomas, I shall look into a change in freq, if it is available to the 'recreational' flyer.

    I am glad that this has been mentioned, '2.4Ghz RC plus 2.4Ghz video transmission'. How do you get around this issue?

    Jordi and I use the Sony Webbie, which is like a HD Flip camera with AV out. It's light and the lens rotates for easy positioning. It's as easy to use as the FlyCamOne2 but the quality is 1000% better.
