Setup Log: A high definition camera for Lightweight FPV
10/29/12 Synopsis:
Since we use the keychain camera a lot during DM training exercises, we
have a quick video to show team volunteers how to hook up the provided
JR connector from camera to an OSD to the video transmitter. At the same
time, sample what-you-see-is-what-it-is video footage in order to
compare with other cameras. Questions, feel free to write to us at

one of the better and affordable camera made ready to fly (RTF) for RC
hobbyist. Comes with a JR connector, to connect to your video
transmitter for FPV. Super light-weight ~17g
DM Tips: Put a children's Window Gel Clings underneath (10 for $1 at
the dollar store or Target). Also secure your USB cable to reduce any

Review of FPV: First-person view (FPV), also known as remote-person view (RPV), or simply video piloting, is a method used to
fly a radio controlled model vehicle from the driver or pilot's view point. Most commonly it is used to pilot an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a radio-controlled aircraft. The vehicle is either driven or piloted remotely from a first person perspective via an onboard camera, fed wirelessly to virtual reality goggles or a video monitor. More sophisticated setups include a pan-and-tilt gimbaled camera controlled by a gyroscope sensor in the pilot's goggles and with dual onboard cameras, enabling a true stereoscopic view.
