    Hello!

    I fly model airplanes and quads, I decided to look for Range cameras and found the Bullseye camera system for $350, I knew I could beat that price using my Rc knowledge. But unfortunately not using their cool bullet indicator software. So I decided to order the parts I needed and here is what I have so far and how it looks at the range. This setup cost me $110 but I had the batteries and charger already. The camera cost me $60 but i will be going to a different better $25 board cam. BTW Sorry if this is the thread!. I will be putting this into a case for the range later. I use my laptop as a screen but a 7 inch tv could be used to. This setup so far (havent had the chance to go further) can go 150 yards. If anyone likes this idea let me know and i can get you started!

    Anyone else using this idea ??

    Pics time. Monitor image looks clearer then pictured

    Here is another McGiver idea.
    They are now selling Quad Copter with live video for under $100.00.
    The camera has very good resolution.
    Set the copter aside from the target in view.
    The monitor is 4x3 inches. very clear
    not flying the copter. the battery will last a very long time.

    Looks good! I have the Bullseye system. It's a first generation and I'm seeing what it would take to update it.

    Been wanting to try my GOPRo with wifi to see how it works. Have no idea of the range of it though. Would be using my iPad or phone to view.
