Why thankyou Sir! I want to FPV my rally car next as I have some tight little mountain roads on our battlefield that need bashing. :)

Here's the actual first video of my crawler

I'm driving slowly but it's difficult for me to drive to with the 78deg lens. I've found I prefer the 120deg as it serves somewhat of "peripheral vision".

Absolutely like the camera footage, are the lens a option with the camera or does it come with a selection of lenses? Just curious as I would like to try this in one of my tanks. How does it work? I am not very up to speed on this technology.Is it real time or playback from a recorded disc? And any suggestion on where to buy?

Thanks wizzard,I'm off to bed as it's 2am here, also late in Texas. I am interested to mate the camera with the new paintball gun system in my Tiger S13 and my Porsche King Tiger. The camera would be great if it can be used as a targeting sight,or even a wide view system.

Just curious on how far we can take this idea? Thanks I'll see you tomorrow,I'm hitting the pillow, Blake

I've found that personally I like the wider view angle lens cameras like 100deg or more. It's somewhat distorted on the edges but similar to getting a peripheral view the camera I shot the video with was $16 from Hobby King. browse these productshttp://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_li ... entCat=172" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I bought a 100mw 900mhz set which I used in the truck but [glow]WARNING!!![/glow] You need a Amature Radio operators License to use these. It's only $20 for ten years and you need to study some material and take a test. The camera isn't the greatest and looking through the polycarbonite is rough too. lol I used my 120deg 520 line panasonic camera ($30) on my Tiger and it works very well. you can even see the pellets trajectory. aiming is very easy but the battlefeild from that perspective changes the strategies used I think. Heres me driving the Tiger with the googles.

you can see the 78deg in front of the apple. its the one I filmed withand its larger than I'd like for a tank commander. The 120deg Panasonic is less than half the size

I have a 400mw 1.3Ghz VTx that gave a clear picture at 1.25miles @ 400' ~ 500'. In my TwinstarII
