2.4GHz Wireless Video from Model Rocket

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the expendable dept.

ExidyBoy writes "While the Gates Brothers fly entire camcorders in their rockets to record onboard footage, a cheaper alternative is to use off-the-shelf 2.4GHz wireless video senders. The Aussie RocketCam site has Windows Media and QuickTime clips of the spectacular results that can be obtained."

  1. 2.4GHz Wireless Video from Pet Kitty, Mittens by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Okay. I'll admit it. I'm the one who attached the wireless camera to the cat.

    But it didn't do any harm! Ran around. Chased something. Probably the antenna. The cat was perfectly fine!

    Well.

    Until I affixed the cat to a model rocket. But wow! That cat went higher than Armadillo Aerospace using a rocket jump.

    a cheaper alternative is to use off-the-shelf 2.4GHz wireless video senders.

    And, to save money on the receiver side, just use off-the-shelf wireless video getters.

    You purchased an X-10? So you're that guy!! I was wondering who their customer was.
