Hi Everyone

I'm looking for some information about cameras installed on planes, (I mean elementary planes made by students in college etc, the models usually used and their price.

Thanks.

Cool that you have the balls to ask such a thing with notice in your identity you are in Iran.

I wish more people understood the Iranian sense of humor, which is very poetic.

We might not ought to be telling you what cameras to be putting in drones.

I think the Russians show up here sometimes as Guests, but they never say who they are, or where they are from.

Overall there are some incredibly cheap cameras with high resolution out on the common market these days.

It is no particular state secret far as I know that Canon makes some great cameras, and for a model drone experiment your problem is to put the camera in a remote controlled plane, and be able to fly it around, plus turn the camera on and off.

Estes makes a Rocket Kit that will carry a 110 camera and get a shot.

Of course a twelve year old can build and fly an Estes rocket that will take a picture.

I expect you want to make a plane that will carry a commonly available High Def digital sort, like the 650 dollar Canons around now.

I've gottah say it is only because I have known personally some Iranian Pilots that I am inclined to be flip or less than fully serious, and don't like the manipulations at the top of our relationship.

As far as a plane design well suited to carry cameras, I suggest you look at the L 18, Hudson Bomber, and Learstars of old, due to my respect for their wings, along with bellies, and centers of gravity.

It is a very good shape for a camera platform, as it was as a medium bomber.

Hi sharif

Do you mean model planes.?

For a fun project I did attach a small wireless security camera to a model helicopter and it worked to some extent.

It is a color camera and uses a 9v battery.

I cant find it now and will search for it tomorrow and pass info on to you.
