If anyone still is interested you can do a search for fpv camera and video transmitters that you ll often find for drones. You won’t have audio but you can just use it on a kite just for fun and see what the kit sees or any other rig you can come up with
I actually did this recently after finding a great video monitor that I can wear on my wrist like a watch. The problem is that all of the FPV cameras I found that have a built in transmitter have too wide of a lens, with 120 degrees being the narrowest that I could find. I'd really like to find an FPV camera with a field of view somewhere between 85 & 100 degrees. Any suggestions?
@@EvanReinheimer The 808 keychain cameras come available with a choice of different lenses. And I recall one of them was only slightly wide (maybe close to a 35mm or 28mm on full frame.) I believe the Mobius cameras might have different lens options too. Though I'm not 100% sure that these cameras could be used for analogue FPV.
Thank you! The FPV camera is equivalent to a 28mm full frame lens. Most often I use a 25mm lens, so it's very close. When I use a wider or narrower lens, I have a pretty good feel for the area covered based on what the FPV camera shows. I would like to upgrade the FPV camera to a smaller unit with brighter display that is easier to see in bright sun. However, almost all small FPV cameras are made for drones now and have field of views that are super wide. When I eventually find one that works for me, I will make an updated video.
Very creative. Your artwork is amazing. I'm subscribing. Question though... How does the camera fire? Does a servo arm bump the trigger (shutter button)on demand?
Thank you! I am currently using an infrared LED that I velcro to the front of the IR sensor on the camera (it's too far to use all the way from the ground). When it's triggered the LED lights up and the camera takes a photo. You obviously need a camera that has IR remote capabilities to do this, thankfully Sony has it. It is possible to use a servo to press the shutter button also. I like the IR solution because it is less moving parts.
I did actually, but I have not updated mine, as what I am using still works. You can pair a FPV drone camera with a watch like this: amzn.to/31AaSup or a larger monitor like this: amzn.to/2FaHfbv There are a wide variety of small FPV cameras available for drones, select one that matches closely with the field of view you would like because I found most are very wide angle.
The KAP camera is Sony but the video monitor camera in this video is made by Enox. I can’t find any info about them making this camera anymore so I’m afraid it’s no longer available. Please let me know if you’re able to find it.
That's a clever way to solve video monitoring ! Well done.
Daniel De Rudder thank you Daniel! I just wish I could find the camera/monitor online still so that it would be available to everyone.

You have an awesome KAP system. I'm assuming that the field of view of the FPV camera lens is similar to the fov on your Sony lens?

@@EvanReinheimer Do you use a servo to trigger the LED?
Did you find a commercially available remote video monitoring solution to replace this one?

I need to build this rig, how could I build it or from where to get it online ?
Brooxes.com sells some DIY kits.
Plz tell m. the. camra brand?
