    this was a great video. one question I had was the range? let me explain I want to shot video using my RC helicopter and want live view so I know what I’m shooting. do you know how close you have to be to work?

  • Caleb Pike

    Well I don’t think this is the best option for you because you have to be wired.

    Thanx for the quick tutorial. I was thinking of using this for some time now.
    Works ok but with a quick test something got busy in the camera. Even if I unplugged ?
    After a couple of minutes its again oke. I was recording to CF card.
    But I will test some more

    The thing I miss is the info of my lcd screen. Like exposure. Do you know how to
    get this on screen also?
