Plan is to mount under fuselage of Telemaster 12' and Mugin when it arrives.
Camera Position is being controlled by Arduino via ethernet, Pan, Til,t Zoom , and record to local SD,and h264 stream, works so far.
Nice thing about this camera is its speed. Also does great with its built in video stabilization.
My plan is to pass a Lat, Long and Zoom level to the Arduino and let it keep that camera position. Will plan on listening to mavlink telemetry port for GPS data, desired position.
Axis Q6035E Camera is capable of Tilt: 220°, 0.05° – 450°/s, HDTV 1080p 1920x1080
And H.264: Up to 30fps (60hz in HDTV 1080p)
Also has built-in "Auto Tracking"... Not sure how well this will work... Have my doubts.. Ground tests are OK...

Comment by Eraser on January 6, 2012 at 8:51am If you find one for that price let me know... :)

Comment by Eraser on January 7, 2012 at 10:59am not after you strip off the all-metal housing just leave the dome protruding under the aircraft.
Comment by Eraser on January 7, 2012 at 11:04am also stripping the heater, fan blower, heater fins, Power supply boards. Overall very light , most of the weights is where it all mounts and shroud.
Comment by Tobias Krieger on January 7, 2012 at 1:00pm I personally think the Elphel camera is a good choice. But no gimbal yet.

@Eraser. Thanks. 1.2 pounds ( 544 grams). That is interesting.
