small video camera for RC helicopter?

I'm buying an RC helicopter, and was wondering what light weight video camera options are available? I thought a real-time transmitting cam would be neat to feed to my laptop, but that may be difficult. Another option is a SD card based cam.
What do you think?
 
you could check out x10 wireless cameras, but they may be too heavy once you count the power source. do you know how much the heli can lift?
 
Thanks for the link!
Not sure how much it can carry as I haven't decided on one yet. I'll have to do some more research. Thanks!
 
Thanks for the links guys!
I have one of those chinese key fob things on order. I'll let you know how it works out.
Not sure the weight tolerance, as I'm still shopping. I may even get a large glider. I do have a small indoor chopper now, which may be able to hoist the key fob.

I like the look of that draganfly thing. loading the vids right now. I might feel a bit guilty spending that much on my hobby though! If I can only get a practical application though... lol
 
If you spend a fair amount of $$ or better yet before you spend a $$$ check w/ your "local" FAA office. Me and a bud basically got shut down doing an AP business here in VT
 
Yes it did! And it worked great - for about a week! I believe it shorted out due to poor construction. I made another thread about that. I have a few more on order, as we speak. There is a LOT of great info here:

I recommend this to anyone! Just be sure to get the #3 camera. I was able to pinpoint them on EBAY by the resolution.
