HI all
Im currently building a 1:32nd scale tug and was thinking of fitting a small camera
so i can record are in club model comps at water level.
In the past i have just attached a normal digital camera to the boat but you cannot tell untill
you get home weather you have anything good. then there the editing of it.
I no im asking a lot but it there a reasonable quality budget price wireless camera i can connect to a laptop so i can view what the camera is looking at and record or take pictures from the shore.
Or would somthing like this be any good?

mmmmm... quality and budget, two words that don't sit well together

When i say budget i really mean i dont want to be spending £100s As i no you get what you pay for
which i am finding more and more sadly.

There seem to be some inconsistencies between parts of the description, pictures and specification.
Is the range of 20 metres OK?
The RX needs a healthy battery, but the spec says 6 volts while the picture of the unit says 9-12. Or 9v, depending on which bit of the spec is being read.
Possibly having a tablet that could read the stored media on a pen camera would be simplest - you will still need something to store what has been transmitted and see what is being filmed, and a video capture unit might be a big extra cost.
