Build a DVD-quality Remote Aerial Video Camera for under $60

Using a Syma Chinook S022 3-channel Helicopter, and a keychain Spycam camera. Produces video at 720x480, 30fps (equivalent to DVD resolution). This rig is about the same cost as an Airhogs Hawkeye copter, but the video is much higher quality, and the helicopter is 3 channel / radio controlled, so it flies well outside, and has better flight control.

is there an on switch on the camera

[madnedproductions]

@SuperDye88 yes, there is a start/stop button. you basically have to start it before launch and stop it when it lands.

Nice Niche video. Purchased a DYI Cam Xheli $39.00 tring to figure how to get vid from receiver to P.C. saw your vid, here I am. I'll check out the UBS connector as a solution. I have a vid at 1stairwolf of how I've set it up with Cam & 9V on under belly. Visit me, need some help & thank you for doing this vid, cool and amazing clarity. Oh, I don't know how the vid attachment works here on youtube yet. S022 has a lot of power, good climber & lifts more than her own weight
