Default How to convert a digital camcorder to a wireless video camera?

Dunno, but the best performance for low lux would be an old Sony CCD-TR4
to TR21 analog. These have *real* low-lux (.8 or so) useable
performance, not the "0 LUX" useless digital trash image of later
digital models. Of course, the analog models aren't stabilized, so chose
your priorities.

I am interested in a wireless video camera for a rc boat project.

I have a 1.2 Ghz transmitter and receiver.

Unlike an radio control model airplane, there is plenty of room and
wieght capabilities on a model boat for a SLA battery and a
camcordedr.

I am under the impression that CCD stabilized video from a camcorder
would be superior what the tiny board cameras that are typically used
with wireless video systems produce.

My intention is to purchase a used camcorder with a good lens and low
light capable ccd . (Remote focus and zoom may also be possible).


If the camcorder does not have a passthrough, how can I obtain the
video output to send to my transmitter?
