Micro 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Camera Systems for RC Helicopters and Airplanes

Micro 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Camera Systems for RC Our micro 2.4 ghz camera systems are available in three versions; and can integrated into a Draganflyer helicopter , or mounted on an airplane. All three camera systems we offer are available in the NTSC and PAL formats. The NTSC format is used in North America, and the PAL format is used in other continents including Europe.

Eyecam Micro Wireless Video System

Eyecam Wireless Video CameraThe most basic micro wireless video camera system we carry is the Eyecam, which is primarily designed for amateur aerial video. Because of the Eyecam’s extremely light weight (only 1/3 of an ounce) it can be used on almost any rc aircraft. The Eyecam offers a resolution of 380 horizontal lines. The Eyecam camera system is fixed focus, but it can be adjusted manually by twisting the lens housing on the front of the unit. The range of the eyecam video system is approximately 1000 feet, or 300 meters. It can draw power either from the circuit board of the Draganflyer, or the included 9 volt battery clip. Two AC power adapters are included for use with the transmitter and the receiver, one at 5 volts, and one at 12 volts.

Eyecam Extreme Wireless Video System

Eyecam Extreme Wireless Video CameraThe Eyecam Extreme is a higher resolution version of the Eyecam. Its 460 horizontal line resolution offers a higher video quality than the Eyecam. The Eyecam Extreme also includes a 3 cell, 11.1 volt lithium polymer battery for the receiver, with an automatic 9 volt cut off. The included Diversity Receiver increases the range of the camera to up to 1500 feet (500 meters), and is powered by the lithium battery. The higher resolution will allow users to see more details at farther distances than the regular Eyecam. As with the Eyecam this camera includes AC adapters for both the transmitter and receiver. It is also fixed focus, but is adjustable in the same way the Eyecam is. The kit also includes a charger for the receiver battery.If you have a Draganflyer V Ti, you can upgrade it to the Eyecam Extreme with the Eyecam Extreme upgrade kit.Eyecam Extreme Wireless Video Camera

Draganflyer SAVS Wireless Video System

SAVS Wireless Video Camera SystemOur highest resolution camera is the Draganflyer SAVS Camera, which is included in the helicopter produces near DVD quality output, with a resolution of 480 horizontal lines. This is best camera for professionals who want the best aerial video possible. Like the Eyecam Extreme, the range of the SAVS is about 1500 ft, and the camera can draw power from the Draganflyer circuit board. It is possible for users of the Draganflyer V Ti, or V Ti Pro to upgrade their helicopter to use the SAVS camera with the SAVS upgrade kit.

Esky Lama V4 Coaxial Electric RC Helicopter

Esky Lama V4 Coaxial RC Helicopter

The Esky Lama V4 is an entry level 4 channel electric RC helicopter, that is an excellent introduction to rc helis. It offers four channel control, so it can hover, climb, descend, go forwards and reverse, and fly sideways. The Esky Lama is primarily designed to be flown indoors, but it can also fly outdoors if there is no wind. Be sure to choose a large flight area free of obstacles if you are learning how to fly.

Esky Lama V4 Coaxial RC Helicopter

Coaxial RC Helicopter Design Provides Stability

The Esky Lama electric rc helicopter features a coaxial design with two sets of rotors mounted on the same axial. This coaxial design provides additional stability, eliminates the need for a tail rotor, and also produces a great amount of lift. Read more about coaxial RC helicopters.

The Esky Lama’s Cyclic Pitch Aids Control

The Esky lama features cyclic pitch. This means that the Esky lama can alter the pitch of its rotor blades, and redirect the airflow from them. Cyclic pitch allows the helicopter to move in almost any direction, and is a feature found in most rc helicopters. Cyclic pitch works by using a device called a swashplate to change the orientation of the rotor disk. The swashplate is controlled by two servos, one controls the pitch, and the other controls the bank. Cyclic pitch allows the helicopter to be controlled with great precision, because it allows full four channel control. This means that the Esky Lama can use all four degrees of freedom: pitch, bank, yaw, and throttle. Learn how cyclic pitch works

The Esky Lama’s Gyroscope Stabilizes Yaw

The Esky lama includes a built in gyroscope. A gyroscope is a device which maintains its orientation in space. The Esky Lama uses a gyroscope mounted in the nose to prevent any unwanted tail movement caused by the torque of the rotors. The gyro on the Esky Lama is adjustable, so the sensitivity of the yaw control can be changed. This is an important feature, because it allows the rate at which the helicopter turns to be adjusted, based on pilot preferences. Read More about RC Helicopter Gyroscopes

Learn To Fly With The Simulator

The Esky Lama V4 includes a four channel transmitter, and a USB interface to a computer. This is great for learning how to fly, because you can practice on the computer without risking your actual model. The transmitter works flawlessly with the (free to download) Flying Model Simulator.

Where To Buy

Buy an Esky Lama at Draganfly Innovations, which also has replacement parts for the Esky Lama.
