Ha!, that was the video my friend sent me.  I didn't even look close, he said 40 i just looked quick!  That makes a way more sense. I was really puzzled how they were getting that."

"@ Dan 

Thats weird. I saw a couple youtube videos of HD from a gopro at 40 ms latency from a light bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMxfh7ckGG0"

"@ Patrick, 

I can get bursts at 120-150 ms under good lighting and still conditions, good wifi link, and when I used the "cropped" settings on the PI camera. When I really stress test the system, moving camera around quickly, going from light to…"

"@Dan

Honestly, I'm just playing around right now trying to see whats possible. I'm going to pick up a C920 and see how that goes. I'm impressed with the the teradeck which I've had hands on time with, and the light bridge videos I've seen, and…"

"@Patrick,  I totally agree price (and weight) is a big part of it for aircraft.  I have a pi based stereo system on a alexmos gimble now.  But there are ground based applications where better camera options would be nice. From reading all the post…"

"I order the dev kit for this board, and after it arrived it unfortunately does not come with the HDMI input option on the dev kit, which is strange.  I am talking with the manufacture right now to see if I can get a parent board with the HDMI…"

"Is that the 1296 x 730 bined or the 1280 x 720 cropped?"

"Patrick can you get some better latency measurements?  Do the ms clock on  the screen trick, and take screen shots of the camera out put right next to it.  I use http://flash-clocks.com/blog/?p=558 for the clock and it has been working well. After…"

"oh no doubt its too costly as a dev kit.  But....ordered in lots of 10, they are only 80$. At lots of 1000 only 39. Either price point gets you a low cost HDMI streamer, if it works. "

"After going back and forth about going and getting a C920 to test, I decided to pull the trigger an order a dev kit for this. http://www.compulab.co.il/products/sbcs/sbc-qs600/ it is a quad core 1.7ghz SBC but the kicker is HDMI in and a free…"

"I was doing a demo for a friend last night of a stereoscopic pi based head tracker for the rift and he said i should check this thread out.  We are zeroing in on similar setups it seems.  I am seeing similar latency.  I have also tested using 4G,…"
