Selection of the camera and lensesThe following recommendations on choice of the video-camera for the radio-navigated model outflow from my experience:
1. It is necessary to record the video-signal on the board because in any case interferences occur even, if the best samples of radio-transmitters are used.
2. The video-signal should be recorded non-mechanically, i.e. on the Flash-memory card.
3. The wide-angle objective is necessary for better orientation at the locality according to the transmitted image.
4. Vibration of the camera is less noticeable, if the wide-angle objective-glass or “fish eye” objective is used.
5. The optical stabilizer is not necessary in the camera. I had a certain experience when the lens of the optical stabilizer had been vibrating more violently than the model itself. (video:

6. It is advisable to set the manual focusing and short exposure.
