Im looking at spending up to $200 on a nice RC helicopter that can pick up a lot and have lots of thrust, I want to make this Helicopter Like a UAV and I would like to hook up a Camera to it.
Objective:
Be able to find a Device that allows me to hook a camera on the helicopter and let me see what the camera see's live on a computer or something like my Laptop.
Problem: I don't know how I would allow a live camera like that, I don't know what to buy, what it would be called, like what would I do to make this possible? |

| Adms, You're fine. I just was wondering what I would search for, as for the camera, and maybe how much they are, It doesnt need to be easy to control, it just needs to be able to hover, Ascend, And Descend nice, and have a controllable Turning Mechanism. |

| Buy one of those mini-spy cameras, tape it to the chopper and put it on continuous capture mode. |

@ Goof,
Like the ones on this website? They're not a bad price, but they look a little small

| I have a small $20.00 Havoc but it can't even barely pick itself up, I modified a small L.E.D Light to instead click to be on, continously aLways be on, Very easy, And I took it out of it's plastic case so it weighted about 50 grams, but It couldn't pick that up. The helcopter can't pick it'sself up. Always spend the extra dollar when it comes to RC hobbies, Helps a lot. |
