Has anyone added a camera to their tank ? Or one like a cycle helmet that can capture the tank commanders eye view ? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what to use as I would like to use one just to get some videos of it out and about.

Good Morning,
I was out shopping this weekend and ran across some RC Helicopters that had a tiny camera underneath the flight frame which was good for stills and video. The battery was separate from the battery used to fly the helicopter and was good for up to 10 hours of stills and video. Something that might be adaptable. http://www.dhgate.com/product/rc-helico ... 07883.html

Hi,
I have a camera instead of a tower mounted on a Panzer IV.
Here's a little video of a cruise on the tank area at a trade show.
I have to a radio transmission to a small screen on my transmitter and can so from the perspective of Komandanden the tank go without seeing him.
The two red lines that you see can help me to identify where is the tank forward and how the position of the tower is in the picture. In addition, I can raise and lower the camera ..
Cheers, Edwin

Hi,
I had just a little time and I made ??you a post by me for Flycam sought standing in a forum that you can consider to be registered without.
However, he is completely in German. But you can read well with the Google Translator
Seasons Greetings Horses ...
Lots of people have mounted cameras.... check YOUTUBE...I saw one where the guy mounted the cam inside the tank... not sure what models of camera he used but they must have been pretty small... he mounted one in the driver's view .. and one in the gunner's view...it was really cool... even had a range finder on the gunner's angle
sorry I couldn't locate it again..but if I do I will post it
