It shows a movie made from a radio control airplane through a wireless (of course) downlink. This has been done before, but the nice thing is that the pan/tilt from the camera is done by the pilot by moving his head.
He has a gyro and some other hardware mounted on his video goggles. The system is connected to 2 channels on his transmitter. The transmitter sends the correct signals to the receiver in the plane which moves the pan/tilt servos accordingly. This gyro system is available from RC-Tech (http://www.rc-tech.ch/web/index.php?pag … 26&lang=en) for about US$ 400.
I was wondering if it is really hard to make something like this yourself? Anyone that can come up with ideas?
You need to provide an antenna yourself. With a good patch antenna, he was able to receive a good signal from 2 miles away. Sometime soon he will come out with a diversity system which should give even better results.
Nobody with information about how to do the movement of the camera with a gyro? Maybe someone has seen something similar to this system?
Looks like this thread has the guy(s) behind it discussing & explaining it. I haven’t read much of the thread yet, but from what I have read it looks like it should have everything you want:
