  • I had this idea the other day to mount a small wireless video camera on an RC Helicopter, and so, that is exactly what I do in this video! Be sure to check out the project page at hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=720

    That's why I removed the fly bar weights. It helps provide a bit more maneuverability in light wind.

    can you tell me where you got the mini camra from and how did you get it to hook up to your laptop?

    The problem with these smaller hobbyist copters is that any type of wind will knock it down. It would have to a perfectly clear no wind day.

    can you use it on your phone instead of in the computer

    Use small cell phone batteries in series...use two of them and the weight gonna be half of that. you had with your 9 volts battery

    Great video!
    Have you thought of using one of those "23A" batteries instead of the 9V one? They're 12V so depending on your camera specs you may need a few diodes to drop the voltage but I'm sure they're a lot lighter even if you have to use two in parallel to get enough current.

    The camera housing and lens may need to be re-engineered as well to strip more weights.

    you can just stick the helicopter to the digital scale with some tape to get how much it can lift preciselly

    Couldn’t the copters own batteries be used to power the camera? It seems like the best option...

    I have an even smaller cam that works with these flat batteries but I wouldnt get a live video feed with it

    • @jonkc3635
      @jonkc3635 Před 10 lety

      I have a $20 mini camera which uses a micro sd card and built in rechargable battery. I'm planning to get a helicopter to test it out.

  • @kiskiller3
    @kiskiller3 Před 11 lety

    just put 3 cr2032 in series in replacement of the 9v batt.

    u try spycam car alrem
    keychains

  • @BilderbergCEO
    @BilderbergCEO Před 12 lety

    Try a camera that doesn't record sound to reduce the weight even more, since the sound is useless anyway.

  • @random_idRI

    I want camera

  • @mirzachamps4095

    Lithium 9v batteries are lighter weight than regular alkalines. ;)

    Its not a RC Engine, its a very tiny motor, there are no safety things for it, the motor is far too small to be dangerous. I've burnt out tons of em and all they do is stop spinning...
