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

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. JR BoyntonStu wrote: I am interested in a wireless video camera for a rc boat project.

I notice that some VHSC camcorders are stabilized, Panasonic, JVC, etc. In digital camcorders is the CCD image direct to digital or is there a composite output that is converted99969696? camcordedr.
