Title: Can send Video thru R/C transmitter?
Post by: jackson on August 02, 2009, 01:23:08 AM

I was wondering if it were possible to send an RCA video signal through an R/C transmitter - such as one that would go in a Remote Control for a plane.  I need to get some better range on my video setup.  Could i get a receiver that would just output the + and the - for the video wires and just hook it up to another RCA to plug into a TV or monitor?

there are video transmitters and receivers for a reason...
you could look into r/c plane wireless setups, they generally have good range...
what kind of range are you looking for and what is your budget?

I'm looking for the same range as my remote for my plane.

The Wireless setups i've seen only go to 300 feet, and that's lame... very lame.

have a look around for r/c plane cameras, they generally have a fair bit of range...
actually, is size that much of a matter? if not, check out this... ~1 mile range..

Also try www.rangevideo.com, that is the place RC FPV people go to buy their video equipment.
