Everything is contained in a
Pelican 1400 series equipment case. The picture at right shows
how I have everything arranged. There are three things of note in
this new setup. First, the camcorder is new, and about half the
size of my old one. Second, I now power my receiver with a 3-cell
lithium-polymer battery. Third is my use of the 8dbi patch.
This is the one included with the BWAV200 ready to fly video system.

This is how I deploy the
system. The patch is placed face up on the ground to focus it's
attention on the airplane above. I usually close the lid to
protect the camcorder, but on occasion I'll leave it up so I can sneak
a glance at the video. To REALLY preview the video properly, I
use my eyetop video glasses.

These are my much-hacked Eyetop
video glasses. I bought a couple of pairs of safety glasses from
Home Depot and used the lenses to make myself a "bright day" and
"cloudy day" set of lenses... the dark lenses of course being used on a
bright day, and the light blue lenses being used on a cloudy day.
