Hi all,

I am in college and on the UAV team. I would like to ask a couple of question since you fellas probably have some good information. First off, What kinds of Camera systems are you useing on your UAV? Is there a wireless video camera with a zoom function avaliable? Thanks for the information.

You could check out these guys for starters: http://store.pcsurveillance.net/KT_...meras_s/195.htm

Some of the KT&C bullet type cameras has digital zoom but it's digital and you know what that means.... stretching out what little pixel there is to begin with. Anyhow they are usually operated by a credit card size remote (which also controls brightness & contrast.). The remote can be hacked with a ATMEL45 chip which is then rerouted to your heli's RX. Program your TX to operate the cameras function.
A/V TX - RX and video goggles can be purchased from Wilson at http://www.hobbywireless.com/web/st...ewsPageExec.asp

or Wade at www.futurehobbies.com
If you want more like head tracking for pan tilt luxuries of the camera then check out Andre Brenett at www.rc-tech.ch
For advance OSD/GPS try Mark Harris at http://www.intelligentflight.com.au/

Hope this may help somewhat.

Many small UAVs use Watec or Sony FCB series Block cameras. The Sonys are expensive, but have available zoom, aperature, and focus all controllable via serial link RS232.

Here's some links to start your research:
