    Good job.

    I did the same but I use a cheap gopro knock off and I ipad. Max distance I have is a mile n change. In SD quality and minimal delay.

      How do you get the distance? Cellular? I don't want to be limited to a cellular signal.

        Running fpv gear as well just the highest watts I can find. Also need a little fan to keep heatsinks cooled.

        Once I get the mounting figured out in the pelican box's I'll post up.

              It sure does! But that's not fun.

                Nor is screwing with something electronic that WILL fail in the field when it's needed most.

                    I'm not trying to turn this into anything.

                    If you can come up with a system that can TX real time or even a slight lag of 1 sec or so but I want a TX range of four miles or more. problem is band width a wattage and you don't have enough on unlicensed equipment. So all this is nothing more than a novelty and a toy.

                      You can do that just a matter of how much you want to put into it. Your post was it's going to fail when the op is just sharing something he did and darn cool. My method is cheap and I know it which is the point.

                      If you want your 4miles with zero delay let me know I can design that under 10k easy and using over the counter hardware and legal.

                      Couple raspberry Pi, car batteries, neat WiFi stuff, couple switches and a monitor or two.

                        This is one half of a WIFI bridge. The Ubiquiti claims it will span 5km. I've run it at 2600y.

                        IMG_0408.jpg

                        I used an HD IP security camera at the target. This allowed all shooters to monitor the stream at the same time. I used motion detection to auto-magically capture each hit to an SD card.

                        Streaming the audio to a Bluetooth speaker was useful. A miss sounds like a whiff or small snap. But, the gong strikes were like a cathedral bell.

                        Cheers,

                          And there we are again $10K Nope. I'd rather hover a $2K drone

                            hm a couple microwave dishes would be a few hundred. I see no way it will hit 10k.
